The Wrong
John Banks!

Mr.. and Mrs. John Banks, TAO
st. Anthony, st. Paul, were posi-
bly, very much perturbed Tuesday
to find themselves the center of
attraction in st. Paul. Reason: A
radio broadcast Tuesday told of
the shooting of a "John Banks" by
his wife or another woman.
Immediately a storm of rumor
and conjecture swept over st. Paul.
Phones began to ring, tongues be-
gan to wag, rumors of the shoot
ing of "John Banks" ran rife.
A reporter for the Recorder and
Spokesman punctured the story
when he called at the residence Of
the Banks, and found that the
"John Banks" of the radio broad
cast was not the st. Paul John
Banks.
Mrs. John Patton, 923 st. An
thony Ave., was hostess Friday
past to the Earnest Workers Club.
The Valentine theme was carried
out in the service. The meeting
was one of the most enjoyable of
the winter. Fourteen members
were present.

right now is something I can't under

would smother to death. It doesn't

I wonder what that noise is! 1t sounds
as if some one is just outside. My

1t was Mr.. Blacksnake. He put his
head in through the hole under the
porch. He saw Peter at once. even
though it was dark under there. He
darted his tongue out and kept doing
it. Then he slid in through that hole.
Anyway, that is the way he seemed to
enter.
Hello, Peter Rabbit" hissed Mr.
Blacksnake. What are you doing over
here. Why aren't you over in the
dear Old Briar Patch?"
Peter had retreated to the farthest
corner. He knew that Mr.. Blacksnake
would not attack him. for he was too
big. At the same time Peter had never
got over the feeling of fear which
had been his when he was very tiny
fellow and he had been taught that
big snakes dearly love to swallow little
Rabbits. Peter made no reply to Mr..
Blacksnakes question.
Il didn't expect to find you here. "

THIS surname Is not derived from
the popular fruit-iemon, as many
people have supposed, but from the
French Le Moin, meaning "the monk. "
1t has been spelled Leamond, Lemond,
lie Mons, Lennon and Lemon.
The founder OF the family Of
Lemon, from whom o great many Of
the name In America trace their
lineage, was Joseph Lemon Of Charles
town, Mass, who emigrated before
1880 from Dorchester, County Dorset,
England. This settler brought over
with him the coat OF arms here dis
played. but with a different crest. II
Is interesting to note that this crest
shows q lemon tree, being q departure
from the true meaning OF the name.
This coat of arms with crest, however,
Is assigned in Cores Roll of Arms to
the Lemon family, Of which Joseph
Lemon was q member. The Lemons,
LIE Mons and Lemmons of Counties
Herts and Norfolk, England, bore the
same arms.
There are living in the United
States today a gerat number Of
Lemons who trace their lineage to
one or another Of these ancestral
homes.

Quotation Marks.

COME one has wisely said that every
~ thing Is q quotation Of something
that has previously existed.
Every house is quotation. Every
poem is q quotation. Every human
being is quotation.
Every human being a quotation?
This is really worth thinking about.
Just how far back along the ancestral
route are you able to detect the quo
tation marks that enter into your
makeup? How many persons are
able to say something definite about
their great-grandparentS? Yet all
your -great-grandparents have
contributed something. Perhaps a
great deal.
There is a law called the law Of
mutation. This law means that ma
ture seems to store up traits and then
turn them loose several generations
after the storing took place. In this
way an individual might turn out to
be q genius. In this way you are
likely to possess single trait that
accounts for a big difference between
you and your immediate blood rela-
tives. In other words, you may be
possessed of quotation marks which
no one can possibly trace to their
origin. That's why you are different

hoped to find some one else here"
"Who?" Peter ventured to inquire.
who would be likely to be look
ing for under here?" retorted Mr..
Blacksnake.
OF course, Peter could guess, but he
didn't say so. He just shook his head.
II thought" continued Mr.. Black
snake, that I might find Old Mr..
Toad under here. I couldn't seem to
find him in the garden, and I know
that he likes places like this. Have
you seen Old Mr.. Toad lately?"
This was an embarrassing question.
Peter had been afraid that he might
be asked this question, He didn't an
swer it directly. You can see for
yourself that he isn't here" said
Peter.
Eyes, I've already discovered that,
replied Mr.. Blacksnake, who had been
exploring all about underneath the
porch. But that isn't answering my
question. I asked you II you had seen
Old Mr.. Toad lately"
What business Of yours Is 1t
whether have or haven't?" demanded
Peter.
It am Just looking for information.
that's ALL" replied Mr.. Blacksnake.
IT have an idea that Old Mr.. Toad
may come here, so I think I'll wait q
while. There Is no one of my ac-
quaintance that I would rather see
just now than Old Mr.. Toad"
Then. to Peters dtsmay, Mr.. Black
snake proceeded to coil up and make
himself comfortable on the very spot
where Old Mr.. Toad had dug in.
There he was, looking and waiting for
Old Mr.. Toad, and down in the
ground right under him was Old Mr..
Toad himself.
1T was a good thing that Old Mr..
Toad dug in when he did," thought
Peter.

not have been very well pleased.
Eagle feathers were the ones pri8ed
by these tribesmen and also by In
dians in many other parts Of the
continent.
When eagle feathers could not be
obtained. turkey or goose feathers were
used very often.
Some warriors of the plains did
not have the right to wear o single
eagle feather. and others could wear
only one or two.
There were other uses Of feathers
among olden Indians. Feathers Of
small birds were fastened to arrows
to make them ny straight to the
mark. Virginia Indians used turkey
feathers in the making Of robes. The
Iroquois had feather fans, and other
tribes trimmed baskets with feathers.
Pueblo Indians kept turkeys and
eagles captive In order to take feathers
from them when needed. They used
the feathers on wands and to adorn
their affairs.
Along the North Pacific Coast the
feathers Of ravens and fiickers were
highly priced. California Indians
made use Of the plumage Of wood
peckers, blackbirds, orioles and other
small birds.
Hawks and parrots also supplied
feathers in some sections, but eagle
feathers seem to have ranked FIRST
in almost every section OF the conti-
nent. There was hardly q tribe
which did not have at least one eagle

Evolution In Grocery Merchandising

That group merchandising has been a boon to the
consumer, can be thoroughly proven by the statistics.
Both chain systems and independent stores which be-
long to large-scale buying and distributing organiza-
tons, have performed an invaluable public service in
recent years in reducing the spread between the price
paid the producer Of foods and the price paid at re-
tail by the user.
Here, for example, is what happens to each dollar
spent in a store of a large western system: A little
over rs cents represents the actual cost to the store Of
the merchandise sold; salaries and wages take more
than IL cents; miscellaneous expense accounts for
about 7 cents; and rent for 2 cents. The balance-16
cents-is the stores profit.
That marks a great departure from the notsods-
tant time when grocery prices were fixed on the basis
of "all the traffic can bear" A profit Of 1 and one-half
percent is obviously an exterenly low margin OF return
yet this particular system is no different from a
number of others in various parts Of the country. What
might be termed a new order OF food merchandising"
has come into being since the war.
Good independent stores are usually not inimical
to the socalled chains. Instead Of kicking they have
emulated certain chain methods which increase the
efficiency and cut costs, and thus the Independents
too have progressed and bettered their service to their
patrons. Group buying, group transporting, and group
distributing, by all types of stores, marks the greatest
step forward in merchandising in recent history.

this line. From the letters. it is ap-

Hull felt he was able to make under
our laws. Worth noting is the fact
that Mr. Hull rejected the argument
for a balanced trade be

clined to commit this country to a
