'I^ooks count, and 1 ain't talking about neckties, nther. . . Week before last, L^heard something come thru the door and tap-tap gently on my desk, I looked up and there stood an angel". . . . "Howdydo, Mister. I'm working my way thru coltege, H[pw about 8 or 10 of these wonderful magazines. Head much? None better than this selection, 5 including Woman's Life, for only 18 dollars for 8 years." She went away with a dollar and a signed card for which I never expect to get anything. ..Socks and stockings are peddled freely and highly all around us. You can't walk down the street without meeting Borne kind of dealer in this or that. I often wonder how the poor old merchants ever sell enough stuff to pay their clerks, much less their taxes. Face powders, rouge, lipsticks, perfume and bath-salts are "housed-to housed" everywhere, and lots of the ladies think they are buying stuff cheap, while, as a matter of fact, they are buying only cheap stufT. , .Funny thing; you rarely ever find a salesman peddling any'articles that Are advertised in the newspapers or magazines. . They usually have a brand or a pattern that nobody ever heard of till they discovered it. It's cheaper to do "door-to-door" business than it is to run a shop or store and pay licenses, rent, light and water bills, telephone accounts, clerk hire, interest and daily , doles to the helpless callers, .Seeking aid not furnished by Uncle .Sam. No expense at all except for half soles, handkerchiefs to cry with, and possibly car fare when irto "lift" is in sight. 1 ' i * ..A great many of our dear agents buy their 25, 35 and possibly 50-cent items from 10-cent stores. (Soap with a peculiar incense affixed there-to is by far the easiest seller. Nearly everybody will buy a pretty cake of soap even if they never use soap^ Toilet articles of all kinds come next, | and when the magazine and sock I artists run a close-third. . . Our merchants are all more or less helpless. It is no task at all to sell a pair 'of things for $1.00 to the lady of the house (that is?to some ladies of the house) that she would turn up her nose at in a down-town department store at 49 cents. Salesmanship is a strange bird: it takes away nearly all of the common horse sense (that most of us possess and profess) under pressure. NOTICE: THE CLARK CLAN WILL HOLD A RE-UNION flat rock, s.

EXCERPTS FROM AN OLD DIARY ,,A daily diary disease struck me when I was about 15 years of age. In fact,, this malady became pretty general in our country school; nearly every child who was able to write started a diary, and the teacher had all sho could do to keep us from spending most of our time on our diaries, I ran across my old diary in a closet last week, and will quote some of my young doings: GEE McGEE'S DIARY ' Sunday?Went to see Susie Green. Her daddy set in the room all* the time. I never got to say nothing to her tfbout our marridge which we had been talking about. Lost my pocket knife on the way home. It cost 10c. Monday?while slopping the hogs this morning, one of theon bit me on my shoe. If I had not of had on brogran shoes with a brass tip on the toes, he would of bit off my big toe. Clumb a cherry tree and fell out of it on my dog, old Tolly, and nearly rulnt him in the back. Tuesday?JPa ketched me in a smoking cross vine in the barn and wore me out with a hickory width which was left over by him from making a fish basket. Not able to set down so far. Sudie Green let me tote her books all the way. Sudie gave me a bite of her hoss apple. I love Sudie. Wednesday?'Had to set in for missing 3 words. She snid I spelt the following words wrong: caff, manny, and possum. It hurt my feelings to hafter set in as Billie Peterson walked all the,,)vay home with Sudie and toted he books. She let him bite her apple. Thursday?Teecher tanned my hide and also Billie's hide for fussing in time of books. I waylaid Billie from some bushes on the way home, but missed him with a big rock. Sudie wont speak to me. Stumped my big toe nail off while running after a chicken for the preeeher who ?pent last night at our hous^. I ketched it, bub he et it all up. Friday?Teacher hit me on the , head with: her .baton for saying a speech that had her name in it which sounded like I called her a monkey. Lost my slate pencil. Me and Billie had more words at big recess. .Sudie looks like she has kicked me for him. Me and brother Robert treed a highland mockerson in the garden and he bit old Tolly, our dog. 'Saturday?Cut sprouts in the ; morning, helped to plant the turniff patch, fixed up the ashhopper for Ma, dug bait to slip off a-zfishing that evening, but Pa watcjied me so close, I did not get away. Sudie passed our house with her Ma so I did not get to speak to her. Fell out of the barn loft. Me and Billie made up and robbed 2 bird nestes. Billie is going with Jennie Brown now.

Van Meter Sent Home For Burial Fort Wayne, Ind., Aug. 24.?The bullet-riddled body of Homer Van Meter, "advance man" for the John Dillenger gang, who was shot to death in St. Paul last night, will be brought to Fort Wayne, his childhood home, probably vSaturday, for funeral services ami burial. Van Meter apent most of his youth here and is remembered as'a Jjkable boy. He had no police record In this city. According to police Homer "had a> good front," and in many of the Dillenger gang holdups first visited the bank officials, posing as salesman or in some other capacity to obtain the inside information necessary. His craftiness was evident in the gang's raids for firdarms and bul- ' let proof vo&ts on Indiana police stations. Gaining the cofldence of police through his talkativeness, he was credited with collecting information as to manipulation of weapons which he and his chieftain later secured through their raids. Police stations systematically robbed were those at Peru, Auburn and Warsaw. \ General News Notes Armed bandits hold up a bank at Palmetto, Ga., early Wednesday morning and escaped with an undetermined amount of ' cash, making their escape in an automobile.
