BY PATRONIZING
LOCAL DEALERS
,We have adopted as a slogan
"Business as usual"
The farmer's slogan should be
"Greater and better crops"
Other industries should adopt similar slogans, and
then we should all live up to them so that the best
in terests of our community may be conserved. We
can render our greatest service to the Government
by keeping all industries moving.
' Co-operation is necessary. It is time when we
. should all work together for the common good of
our community. Patronize home dealers. Keep
the money at home.
We are ready to do our part by supplying high
grade drug store goods at prices that are right.

their executive questioned Tenet as
to what he might do if the National
leaguo should unanimously request
that he retain his office. "I won'tsay a
word," he declared. And there the
argument or cross-examination ended.
Tener has a lot of business Interests.
Before he became governor of Penn
sylvania, or before he became connect
ed with politics et all to any consid
erable extent, he was president of
one of the nation's most prosperous
small-town banks. That business
calls him. In addition ho has holdings
of coal land in Pennsklvania that are
very valuable. Ho is able to devote
only a small share of his time to
theso interests, and private enter
prises are being sacrificed, by him, to
a certain extent, for the good of base
ball. ' Under these conditions Tener can
hardly be blamed for chucking his
present job overboard. He has had
four years of troublo, has conducted
a clean administration, and will leave
the league if it docs finally come to
that with a fine reputation.
Tener is a man who came from the
ranks of baseball, passed through the
early grind of viccissttudes which
assail any young man's life, because
a member of the national house of
representatives, was elected governor
I of ono of the nations most powerful
states, and passed into the third stage
of his public career as president of
I the oldest institution in baseball the
National league.

clared that was all he had to say. "I
am not a candidate for re-election," he
declared. "I refuse to be questioned
further." And that's all ho would

. that Tener was governor of Pennsyl
vania when the National league club
