PRAISE FOR SMALL TOWN PRESS

National advertisers are becoming more and more convinced of the value of the small town press med for reaching the public with their sales messages
 Among those who have been "sold on the importance of the live small town newspaper is Alfred F. Sloan, IT, president of General Motors Corporation who recently paid them this tribute:
 T believe in the small town newspaper I believe that printed matter in the United States more thor oughy read has influence than the pages of these home town newspapers"
 That Mr. Sloans expression is not merely pleasing compliment is evidenced by the fact that General Motors is rapidly extending it's advertising to the small town newspapers of the country.

 Every employer has to deal with the fellow who no gets located in position than he begins to look for something better elsewhere He has eye on his pres ent job and the other a new one.
 In majority of cases, particularly if one is working for sound and reputable concern empoye would be far better off to concentrate his thoughts and energies the work he is doing instead of watching the help want ed" advertisements.
 No intelligent employer wants to lose man who shows efficiency in his work and loyalty to his concern The rewards of such efficiency and loyalty will generally be in keeping with the employees merit
 But when employer knows that an employe is con- tinuay looking for another position it is taken as ev dence that only haf-hearted service is being rendered. and the employer begins to look for someone to take his place The fellow who keeps both eyes his job usually profits most in the long run.

and illustrations of smart costumes,
SO that even the home dreSsmaker can
know the styles that are suitable for
every occasion.
1t Is not necessary to take lessons
IN elocut1on in order to develop a pleas
ing, cultured speaking voice. The
chief faults Of the average woman s
voice are it's fiat, unmusical quality,
It's monotonous range of tones and
slovenly enumeration. 1t is possible to
form the habit of giving all vowels an
open sound and pronouncing each
word with precision and using a. wide
range Of tones to give a. beautiful ex-
pressive quality to the speaking voice
The matter of physical poise may
also be learned by thoughtful practice
1t Is nothing more nor less than cor
rect posture, which means balancing
the weight Of ones body with ease.
These three factorS-clothes, voice
and poise-might be called the me-
chanicS of charm. The other, more
elusive half of beauty plus" is a
spontaneous sweetness and forgetful-
ness Of self. The charming woman is
usually bright, happy person, whose
very presence liz a tonic to less fortu-
nate souls. She brings with her an
atmosphere Of harmony, and since she
understands herself, she does not
make the mistake Of initiating the
foibles Of others. Being true to her
own type gives her a. distinction and
personal magnetism that timid, self
deprecatory individuals cannot attain.

when his customer, Harry Ronald,
claimed that he was unable to pay

eAntagonized by the attitude of the
grocer, Ronald declared that he would
not pay it.

clared.
Realizing that it was fact. Hart
gave up his attempt to collect.
Eight years later, Hart unexpected

aid looked prosperous, and Hart re-
membered 1.-The old unpaid account.
On investigation he learned that Ron
aid now owned an automobile.
Hart sued. Ronald appeared with
his attorney, who defended the case
on the ground that Hart had waited
too long. In support of his conten-
ton he cited the statute of limita-
lions, which provided that suit on a
debt must be brought within six
years. The court held the defense a
correct one and dismissed the case.
stating:
Under old laws rights of action
were never lost by lapse of time.
However. now, all States have laws
regulating the period, within which
suit may be entered. This period
varies in different States, from 2 to
