Hardison's fist shattered Swirskey's

cut the eye and required two
stitches to close. It was Hardison's
contention that he struck after be-

Harrison was an exceptionally

years she has known him. he has

The democrats of the eighteenth

all who believed that the liquor
law now in force should be chang

Citizens who favor a change
should also take an interest in this
election. 1t is by no means a politi-
cal measure. On the contrary 1t is
something in which the public has
common interest, and for this
reason nobody should feel that it
is the concern of one party any

Grant Company
FIRM KEPT PROMISE

An increase Of 10 per cent. in
wages has been granted the EN-
ployes of the w. T. Grant Com
pany. This action was taken by the
concern in conformity with its
previous promise to grant an In
crease as soon as an increase in
sales actually warranted such a
step. The sales have Increased and,
therefore. so have the wages.
Originally the w. T. Grant COM
pany announced that 10 per
cent increase would be granted
each week in which sales showed a
jump and that a permanent 10 per
cent increase would go into effect
IL the June figures are larger than
those of June of last year.
Like other concerns, of course,
the W. T. Grant Company was
forced to reduce wages during the
depression due to constantly re-
ceding business. However. with in
creasing business this reduction Is
being cancelled. The plan followed
out here Is similar to that tried out
in the largest store Of the chain in
