It is concerned with what boys are reading, and the instances it gives which the boy's imagination is "blown out" by the impossible stuff put out in series on the market to day, written just to sell, 'with abso lutely no merit save that they are "thrillers,"—well, one wouldn't feed one's stock on such unhealthy food and expect to produce good results. And the pity of it is that there are just as many interesting, wholesome stories to be had for the money that goes for the poor ones. How are you going to know the trash from the healthy ones? Well, ask your deal er in books, when you are choosing the boy's Christmas present, for a book backed up by the Boy Scout Movement. Not the' so-called "Boy I Scout series," but a number of good stories like "The Call of the Wild" and "The Horseman of the Plains" Big ut up in a special Boy Scout bind and selling for only fifty cent*.

He's fat as any poisoned pup It's jest his meanness swells him up He's .always scheming 'round to do The things you most don't want him to. The mule, he lives on anything He's got a lovely voice to sing, And when he lets it loose at noon, It sounds like buzz saws out of tune. He stands around with sleepy eye And looks as if he'd like to die, But when there's any dying done, It ain't the mule, I'll beta bun. Some folks don't treat mules with respect They say they ain't got intellect That may be so, but if you've got To go to heaven on the spot, And want a way that doesn't fail, Just pull the tassel on his tail, The mule, he tends to his own biz He don't look loaded, but he is—Ex.

Goats do not smell quite so baid as polecats or so sweet as a flower garden. They will eat tin cans and scrap iron, but are especial ly fond of clothes that have been left out over night. Some goats are as bad as men and women to butt in where they are not wanted.

Will Produce a Hero Military experts tell us that mod ern conditions have made war anony mous that we need not look for the skyrocket rise out of the present bat tling armies of a new genius compar able with a Marlborough, a Naolpeon, a Grant, a Sheridan, or a Lee. With due respect, we do not be lieve it for a minute. The one thing that can not be kept down is human ersonality. It will appear. It is ound to. Otherwise the philosophy of history would have to be discard ed. The never-failing supply of vital young blood that insures the continu ity of human progress will produce a hero for the present conflict, just as it has always produced leaders in periods of great stress and excite ment.

Who says Cut down THE PUBLIC The new cash system we have adopted is working out nicely. The public has begun to see where the high cost of living must come to a stop. The person who trades with us on th 30-day cash system will receive the same price, as the person who pays the cash as we consider 30 days as cash. We are still giving 30-day credit under the new cash system. But we are going to enforce our 30 day accounts, paid when due. In case-a person cannot pay his 30 day account when due, arrangement can be made by giving a note. All arrangements for credit must be made at the office. Accounts are sent out on the 1st and 10th of every month, and if your ac count is not paid by the 16th you will be refused credit until your account is paid. And on the 15th if your account is not paid it is then turned over to our attorney for collection. We are deter mined to cut down the high cost of living, and to do this we must cut out the long line of credit.
