ROOM FOR BOTH

mo definite stability within the
merchandising field can be expected
until Congress wakes up to the fact
that big business has as much right to
operate in a free country as a little

neither for the country nor its mil
lions of purchasers" says the Bucyrus,
Ohio, Telegraph-Forum
"It is easy to sit back and condemn
chain stores and hope that they are
taxed to death, but What about the
economic result of such silly Iegisla-
ton? 1t is only reasonable to under
stand that any chain concern which is
forced to pay such bounty to the gov
eminent is going to close a good many
stores. The Independents would get
more business, perhaps, but how sta
BILE would this new business be ? If the
chain concerns are forced to close many
stores it would mean new and large
additions to the nations great unem-
plOyment total. Chain stores contri-
butte well to most community programs
They hire employees who buy or rent
homes and buy merchandise in the
community. They advertise heavily.
They pay heavy taxes. Their employees
drive automobiles and pay toward the
upkeep of the streets.
There is room for both chain
stores and independent establishments
in every community of any size and
time has proved in these communities
that both can hold their respective
trade"
That is a temperate, sensible and
reasonable commentary on the situa-
ton. Most of the attacks against the

cal winlbags v4o instigate them. Not

ing on an open competitive basis, gives
a better break TO consumer, producer
and all involved.

THE KEY TO FARM PROSPERITY

Greater cooperation among dairy

He added: From beginning to end

down, but to bring them together and

win without loyal, undivided support
from all producers.

HOPKINS CITES FIFTH YEAR OF
GROWTH IN WPA EDUCATION
PROGRAM; SAYS LLITERACY
REDUCED % PER CENT.

In spite of economy reductions in
the teaching staff and the number of
classes, enrolment under the education
program of the Works Progress Adj
ministration during the 1897 : 1888
school year showed an increase for the
fifth consecutive year, Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins announced today.
Total enrolment was 1,586,211 as COM
pared with 1,569,529 a year ago.
At the same time, he added a five
year goal of teaching one million ill
iterate adults to read and write has
been reached and passed. The WPA
program, he said, had reduced litter
acy in the United States by approx
mately one-fouwth during the 5 years
of its existence.
From a report submitted by DR.. L.
R. Alderman, WPA educational direct
or, showing the accomplishments of the
program during the school year just
closed, Administrator Hopkins cited

the scope and value of the work.
proof is now at hand" he said,
that a large segment of adult Ameri-
ca is hungry for educational advantag-
es which it missed in its youth.
until the inception of the emer-
gency education program under the
Federal Emergency Relief Admin
stration in 1888, publicly supported
adult education in this country was
limited to a small number of states. AS
begun then and continued under the W
PA, educational opportunities, geared
especially to the needs of the lower IN
come groups, have been extended to an
ever-growing number of people.
participation in these classes is,
of course, voluntary and without cost.
The fact that more than one-half mill
ion persons of all ages, creeds and col
ors were enrolled during the last school
year is convincing proof not only OF
the need for such a program but also
that those who have lacked in educar
tional opportunities are eager for a
chance at seIf-improvement."

 For Bonus Counting
Babies Race Shows Tight Contest But Contenders Are Urged to Submit Ballots Right Away
 to Help Official Check

Come, come, contestantsl It's all very well for you to hold your votes until the last minute just so you can tell how the other contenders are doing this bonus week in THE, MOST POPULAR BABY CONTEST. But it isn't so good for the CON- TEST MANAGER, who has to check all of these subscriptions to THE DEMOCRAT before they can be counted officially, 500 votes each during this week.
 Fail to Understand
 Some of the leaders cannot un- derstand why some of she other contenders are holding back their subscriptions until about 5 o'clock Saturday night, so they've started doing 1t, too. It's all very discon- certing.
 You see, we know that the SUD- porterS of Margaret Lemere, for instance, have lots of subscriptions which aren't reported yet. So, prob ably, there are numerous votes for Anthony Borrelli, ready to be count ed but not made official, yet.
 Who Is Holding Back?
 How many more, besides Randall Saunders and Dorothy Berardo and Lawrence DiPersio are planning on bringing in large batch at the last minute. it is impossible to know. So. the CONTEST MANAGER pleads with you, folks. to get those sub- scriptions in NOW and then start on saving up another bunch. He wants a "break" in checking the subscriptions so that the official count can be made soon after the close of the bonus period, Saturday evening.
 "Sar Wants to Know
 And "Sal" Borrelli, father of Tony, who is leading the race today with 46000 votes to Margaret Le- mere's 45,500, wants to know how many votes some of you contenders have which care not turned in yet or. if they are, haven't been checked to become official. Sal" who runs "Sal's Restaurant" out on East Main street, says he has great interest in having Tony, the heir, win the title and the first prize.
 But so have some of the others who are showing strength in THE MOST POPULAR BABY CONTEST, of course and NATURALLY. It really is quite problem to keep this counting up to date. you know

TEST-you can keep a check on every subscription you bring in to the CONTEST MANAGER by just calling on him. He has every sub- scription obtained in the CONTEST filed under a special system where by every contestant has special file with his entry blank and the sub scripitons.
 The subscription blanks show whether they were to be counted 500 votes, during the bonus periods, or the normal 200 votes. The check up is bomb-proof and simple to op- crate.
 IF YOU'LL GET YOUR SUB SCRIPTIONS IN so THAT WE CAN KEEP THE FILES UP TO DATE WITH THE OFFICIAL TAB ULATIONS.
 Try to do this. Keep turning in the subscriptions as often as it is convenient for you to call at the office. This will help keep the count up to date.

What woman answer to silence? Smiles and indifference, spirited shrugs What can she say of the lover she's losing? Oh, he was good friend, the finest of mugs. What can she do to show him she loves him? How can she talk to him, empty of heart? Ask him for nothng-be gay when she sees him Last to arrive and first one to part. Maybe he's hurt-maybe he's dying Maybe he's waiting in pain for her call- Leave him aloile He will speak if he wants her. He did it at first, but he's bored now, that's all How can she face this grief and this heartbreak Shining and laughing in everyone's sight? She can look forward, when pains past enduring, To weeping alone on her pillow at night.

With the relief cupboard bare,
thousands of needy Chicagoans
looked to the State legislature for

the pinch of a belt-tightening pro-

Nearly 370 down-State communi-

STATIONS TO CLOSE
The crisis in Chicago was the
most acute, and officials prepared
to close all 10 district stations to
night, leaving only skeleton staffs
to handle emergency medical calls.
The temper of relief clients was
keeping pace with the dwindling
of food supplies and scores yester.
day picketed the neighborhood
