Chicken pie was the piece de resise-
ance" and those in the company
nearly died from the after effects
of the meat which had soured
owing to the hot weather, but did
not show in the taste. Mr.. Jones
says that he thinks he is the only
one living among those present.

News" Mr.. Jones says, 4.even to
the ads, but we have just installed
"a radio and every spare moment

Coolidge's speech, the last one on
ECONOMY, every word.
South Water street will soon
"be known by some other name and
mo doubt have a better reputation
for honesty, but | know that where
honesty is the best policy, few
will be dishonest, and no commits
sion house can be successful unless
the proprietOrs are honest with
their customers. Like Reno and
the devil, South Water street has
an unsavory reputation but really
does not deserve it. It is not what
Fyou are but what folks think you
are that counts but I know, deep
in my soul, that it IS what you are
that counts in your own opinion of
yourself. If one knows he is hon
est, then he does not care sO/much
what others say.
"The new location, south and
west of the present one, will be oc
cupied before another year. The
stores are now being built. It is
"a question in my mind whether the
business done on this street can
ever be done there but there is no
choice in the matter"

Every available statistic shows
that ST. Petersburg, Fla, has a
much larger number of visitors
than were there last season. The
/ postofice receipts gained IS per
cent and it can hardly be assumed
that a smaller number of people

be that there are more visitors to
write letters. The street cars are
carrying a great many more pass
engers than were carried at this
time last year The schools now
have a great many more pupils
than they had at the peak Of last
season. All the merchants in
town report better business than
ever has been known before. The
hotels are all doing better bust
mes than they have ever had at
this time Of the year.

Phil LaFollette is district attor
Iney of Dane county, and he is de-
manding jail punishment for boot
leggers and booze makers. And he
is rounding them up, laying their
records before the court, and go
ing after the grafters right. No
matter what party or faction he
belongs to, he puts public duty
first. And that's the kind of men
who are needed. He will not be
long in making himself obnoxious
