by the slump in the price of the sta
pie as the farmers themselves. Ii
many cases they find themselve
loaded up with big stocks of good
bought at high prices, and here an<
there, just like the farmer who is sell
ing cotton at prevailing prices, the;

will bs greater.
This being true, -there has neve:
been a time when truthfulness in ad
vertising, the bare, bold face facts
would bring greater and more satis
factory results than right now. No
has there ever been a time whei
merchants, farmers, laborers, all o:
t?s, could accomplish more by ever:
one play: j the game open and fair
Iinpressidns made now, while we ar<
goihfc through this period of genera
readjustments, will be of long dura
tion. Confidence in the integrity o
the -honesty of the man from whon
one buys produce, eggs, butter, milk
potatoes, things peddled on the stree
bete every day by those who produc<
them; in the man who supplies th<
groceries that go on'one's table; ii
the mail who sells shoes, clothing o:
ftiriiiture, or what not. is not to b<
trifled with.
And this also being true, it is dis
tressing to listen to a lot of talk tha
is being indulged in these days abou
. prices. *
f*oi\ example: A man told me thi:
mbrfting that he had been trading a
a certain store?I will not tell yoi
h&w many years he said he had beei
buying goods at that store?and tha

something about the low price of cot

alleged, Rcy Henderson, 16 years of
age, killed two small boys, Frank
and Floyd Kirby. aged six and eight

I Henderson, according to the re

smaller boy, blowing off his right

then caught the larger boy, whom, it
I is claimed, he beat over the head
, with his gun, after which, it is stated,
j he threw the bodies of both lads into
! a de$p hole of water.
i The father of the dead boys, ar|
riving from work and hearing that

j Henderson, became uneasy and in

Kverv year the crowds of those who

hp said, "I had always been much attracted
h.v trees and plants, so I got
Percy Grlmshaw to take me to the
Temple Newsnm woods, outside
Leeds, to a favorite beech tree there,
and I asked him to pluck for"ine a
leaf of it. He did so, .and with my
tongue I began to touch every part of

my head, till I was sure I could recognize

True Chivalry.
One evening, coming home from the
theater on a car with a lady friend, i
Jones stepped from the car and no- |
n mntnrpflr cominar no behind the !
car.
So Jones kept his eye on the car
and took the elbow of the next person
alighting after him, expecting It
to he his friend.
Still watching tiie mritor, he led the
elhow safely to the walk and then
turned to her.
But to his embarrassment who
should he find himself escorting hut
a sreat tall man, who said, in the
Sweetest voice:
"Thank you, I was never escorted
hy a young man across the street before;
you are the kindest fellow I ever
met!"
The lady was following them, and
she giggled over the joke all the rest
of the way home.
Nothing worm mentioning.
There was a wild clanging of a hell,
and the roar of an automobile engine
in the alley that ran past the roar of
a Southern home. Mandy. the .cook,
dropped her culinary implements and
left the kitchen in great haste to find
out what it was all about.
Her mistress also heard it awl
reached the kitchen in time to meet
Mandy, returning with a look of disappointment
on her face. "What was
all the noise. Mandy?" asked the mis- j
tress.
"T'want nothin'. ma'am, hut the po- i
lice control wagon come to get dat
triflin' Brown nigger for vagroin," was
her disgusted answer.
Why Wear Shoes?
Eve was reputedly barefoot, and
I Xnnsicaa nlaved hall all the better he
cause she was unshod. Helen of Troy
J at the most wore sandals, and the
sandal is the compromise between the
shoeless and the shod. It is easier
to tnako sandals than to make boots.
In Ireland and Scotland the children
have run barefoot for many a day, and
the w It of one and the enterprise of
r the other show that there is nothing
I really demoralizing in going without
i shoes and stockings, remarks the Loni
don Chronicle.
