SHUT 'EM UP I
The charge is frequently made by
the city dweller that life in the small
town is narrow and self-centered,
that petty gossip is the chief diversion
of the people, and the pity of 1. is that
it is true.
Ci:y people are, however, even
more selfish and self-centered thai,
the s:nal. town dweller, but they ara
freer from the annoyance of gossip.
The city lias its sneaks and cow
ards and hold up iiK-u who strike in
In looking through the country
town for men of prestige and re
nown, who build and advertise a place,
we fihd the banker sets the pace.
There are some slanteked money
kings who keep small towns from do-
tlie darlc, but they are pearls of per- Ing things, but they are scarce-
Some sober, honest thinking, clean-
nilndedness in viewing our neighbors,
and Christian charity in our public
contracts would do a lot to stop
trouble makers.
"Shut up at least one scand'.
miger each day," would be a fine
motto for every one to adopt.
The next time you are told a scan
dalous story, ask the teller to furnish
you with the proof of its truth.
Then watch 'em squirm.
THE BANKER
ftct'on by comparison with the veno-
inous-tongued speaker of scandal.
"Have you h-ard the juicy bit
about So and So?" is the backbiter's
invariable openin?. Then follows a
slashing of reputations and a befoul
ing of good r.r.nies which would sicken
a soul, while It gladdens the heart
of the devil.
The anonymous letter, the annony
nious to'.eph'jne message, the whisper
ed "Now, I'll tell you, but don't use
my n;;me if you repeat it," launch the
conceded venom of a fifthy mind.
Once on its way, the gullible, the fool
ish, tho idie, and the vicious pass it
along and embellish the story until
its croitor can baiely recognize it. So
goes t ' sncadal story. So do tho
viciouh end t lie simple-minded com
bine o. srjiir' h good men and women.
No v'l i so prevalent and far
death seals their doom and then their
towns enjoy a boor. When you ve a
chance to make a haul by buying
pickles in the fall and peddling pick
les inthe spring ana tnus Decome a
pickle king, you do not seek your
maiden aunt and spring your coin-extracting
chant, you don't slam and
meekly rend your robes before some
wealthy friend; they'd help you but
they've spent their jack for camisoles
and bric-a-brac. The only chance to
make that deal is at the bank; they
hear your spiel and pave, the way with
gold in stacks, for you to pay an in
come tax. When some subscription
project lags, committees call on
"rroney bags;" they smoke his 25c
cigars, attend conventions in his cars
and corkscrew ducats from his vault
to cure the lame, the blind and halt.
In times, however, vou will learnthnt
even banking worms will turn, and
there's no penace that compares with
bearding bankers in their lairs. You
seek their den with raltermg step
without your usual nerve and pep and
meekly stammer that you've "got
some money coming but your not
at present fixed to meet that note,
you'd like" the words won't pass
your throat. The banker lays his pen
aside and says: "Well, Bill, we'll let
it ride." Outside the bank you fairly
dance and go and buy your kids some
pant3 and several books about the
yaks and get your wife a bran-new
axe. That chap in there behind the
bars helps head off half your familv
jars; Oh, when I leave this earthly
sphere I hope some banker will be
near to supplement my stringy roll in
case I can't pay Charon's toll.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES
President Harding has gone on
'record as a man absolutely capable of
fearlessly meeting an emergency
when one arises. Regardless of wUai
might be one's opinion upon the sol
dier bonus bill that has so long stirred
congress, it must be admitted that
President Harding was master of the
situation in refusins to support the
bonus measure during this election
year when the vote of so many con
gressmen in his own party hangs in
the balance and the organized soldier
vote of the country practically holds
the balance of power. People pre
dicted that Harding would be com
pelled to vote for the bonus because
of pressure from candidates. But be
I has weighed the question carefully
land has rendered his decision accord
i ing to his best judgment.
Of course there will be diffirecces
I of opinion as to the wisdom of his veto
but there should be no difference of
I opinion as to his statesmanship in this
j critical hour.
THE ARISTOCRATIC PLASTERER
Speaking of wages, how would you
like to be the plasterer? One of
Chicago's largest contractors says:
"A"plasterer is entitled to ?44 a week
under the Lanclis award. On one
house I am building in th esuburgs, a
plasterer receives $12 a day as regular
wages and $6 a day overtime, or $S0
for five days, excluding Saturday.
For Saturday he receives ,.G for his
regular morning's work and $12 Joi
the afternoon, which is overtime.
This gives him $108 for six days'
work. Some plasterers work Sundays
and for eight hours overtime receive
824 additional or a total for the seven
day week of $132. In 1917 It cost ap
proximately $500 to plaster an average
house. Now it costs $2200." In other
words, it costs almost as much to
plaster a house today as it did to
build a substantial structure in 1917.
If the average farmer makes so much
, a month as the Chicago plasterer does
,a week, he is apt to be pretty well
: satisfied. And he doesn't call eight
'hours a day e.ther 'Washington News
Letter.

rpHIS is just what you need, madam. Many
a women who were troubled with indigestion, a
sallow, s l7 skin, indicating biliousnsss and
habitual constipation, have been permanently cured
by the use of Chamberlain's Tablets. Before using
these tablets they felt miserable and despondent.
Now they are cheerful and happy and relish their
