If the Utilities Commission is desirous of serving this com-munity they will most surely have an opportunity in this telephone matter. It may not be possible to make a public utility and public servant put in an up to date system here but we can and will at least let the world know that a sneering, contemptable public utility can-not be an immoral agent for I. W. W.'ism and get away with it. A Member of the Bingham Kiwanis Club the immediate use of both nec-essaries and luxuries, but most-ly luxuries. Credit is not only the life of business, but it is the salvation of a modest home. . But there's a possibility that business rivalry makes credit so easy to get that we are inclined and do abuse it. Today we buy homes, musical instruments, washing machines, insurance, automobiles, books and in fact, about everything imaginable, on the part payment plan, mortga-ging our incomes for years to come. It is a queer fact that there are 10,250,000 passenger auto-mobiles registered in the Unit-ed States and yet last year ac-cording to U. S. Government reports there were only 4,000, 000 persons in this country who filed income tax reports show-ing income of more than $2,000 a year. The inference is that there are five or six million per-sons in this county earning less than $40 a week who bought au-tomobiles, and, presumably, are paying for them on the instal-ment plan. Discounting the future, is, to a certain extent, an aid not only to our social but to our economic life. . It not only establishes our faith in but it her-alds the fact that our financial transactions are honorable enough for us' to obtain credit. But there is always the danger that over-indulgen- in this form of buying is going to make us a dollar-a-wee- k slaves. Lust for the comforts of to-day should not lead us to mort-gage our life by our pens. DOLLAR A WEEK SLAVES j , . Life in this country is getting ; ;to be a dollar down and a dollar a week if we are to believe an analysis of business methods appearing in a recent issue of a business magazine which says in part "The country is going time payment mad" and further that wage earners have signed away their wages for many and . many years to come to procure His First i Love Br ELLA SAUNDERS (, 1J4, Weitorn Nwippr Union.) TVA'AY, he's the dearest boy. And A"-- we love each other aa I'm sure no two persons ever loved before. And as soon as he's saved up enough money for furniture we're to be mar-ried. And not a soul Is to be told." Dorothy had all the enthusiasm of seventeen. She and May had been friends for years. They bad passed through school together. Why should-n't Dorothy confide In May about her engagement to Harry, rather than to her parents! , There would have been a dreadful time If she had done that Her father would have laugiied In that crude manner of his, and her mother would have made trouble. Harry and she were Just made for each other. They had suddenly dis-covered It a few days before, when they were walking home at night to-gether from the dance. He had taken her In tils arms and kissed her, and she hud kissed him back. No other boy had ever kissed hernot like that, any way. They bad declared themselves en-gaged at once, and were to be married. And only May was to know because she was Dorothy's best friend. Mjiy had always shared Dorothy's sympathies, but she bad not been very fond of Harry, whom she only knew slightly. It wus with delicious tremors that Dorothy took May to meet Harry the following afternoon at the rendez-vous, the scrub oak patch on the north side of the town. "I want you two to like each other because you are both my best friends," siie said. They shook hands and agreed that they hadn't understood each other be-fore, and that they would unite In friendship for Dorothy's sake. How proud Dorothy felt I Before she left Harry it was ar-ranged that they were to meet secret-ly lu the same place at twilight tne next day. There wan renllv nn why Hurry shouldn't have" come to Dorothy's house, only it seemed more romantic. All the next morning Dorothy went about the housework in a dream. "What's the matter with you, child?" deniunded her mother. "Nothing," answered Dorothy meekly. Her mother, who had once been young, too, looked at her rather close-ly, but did not say anything more. And how time lagged that afternoon I At last the sun descended, and Dorothy, putting on her hat, made her way In trepidation to the scene of the rendez-vous. She waited half an hour, but Harry did not appear. Disturbed and anx-ious, she made her way homeward in the dark. In the shndow of a high hedge she suddenly heard voices. They were those of Harry and May. She stopped, and after she had heard the first few words she went on lis-tening. "But what will you tell her. Harry?" "Oh, 1 11 make up someUiing." "Are you going to let her know?" "No, I'll let her flud It out little by little," answered Hurry. "I think that's kindest." Toor kid. It's such a shume; she's so fond of you," said May. "Do you know, yesterday I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she asked us to like each other for tier suke. She hasn't the least Idea that we were engaged before." "We can't let her know that." "Wouldn't It be awful If she did suspect that you only asked her to marry you out of pique at me?" "Those are things that are merci-fully conceuled from the simple." "She Is simple, Isn't she!" The sound of a kiss followed. "roor Dorothy!" sighed May In Harry's arms. "You're quite sure It was pique, Harry? lou haven't a tiny, lingering fondness for her?" "Darling, there can never be any one for me but you Dorothy slipped off home In the darkness. She had gone through the crucible, and she knew that thence-forward everything would be entirely different. Just for the moment she felt thut In a queer way she was up-lifted.

BAXTER (tfi, 124, Wtniorn Nswiyaptr Union.) tiniY, Meyer, this Isn't the time V to talk ubout raising wages, with business as it is," the president of the little bunk hud told the old watchmuu. "Besides, prices are full-ing, und your money will soon be worth a good deul more to you thun it is today." Old Meyer suld nothing. He hud siinily taken the securities and left the oilite. But lie wus thinking harder thun he bad ever thought In his life before. v Eighteen dollars a week, after thirty years' service! He had suved up six hundred toward the realization of bis dream, a bungalow in I'loridu for his old age. He hud neither wife nor child. And the president hud re-- fused hlru thut pultry rulse which would enable him to retire to the bungulow, ten years hence, at sev-eut- In the package he carried were ne-gotiable securities to the value of Ave thousand dollars. Every week he carried a similar pucknge to the post office. He knew ull ubout It. And only thret weeks before Wad-del- l, a man with whom he hud struck up an Intimacy at the furnished room house in which he was living had hinted at ways of making easy money. Waddell had of course known of his position as the bank messenger, but he had not known how sorely he was tempted by his words. Waddell had. not been explicit. Old Meyer did not allow him to be. as because the temptation was so strong that old Meyer's Indignation was so great. He had soon shown Waddell where he got off, and Waddell had left the next day. Meyer hud not seen hltn again. Rut now the temptation struck home so fiercely that Meyer could not resist It He hnd only to wulk straight to the stutlon, tnke a train to the Junction, and there pick up the 2:15 to the const He would he well on his way before he was missed. No one would have the slightest clue to his whereabouts. And It would serve President Han-son right I Next time he had a trust-ed employee, he would be wiser than to keep him struggling along on eight-een dollars a week! No sooner had this thought come to him thun Meyer found himself proceed-ing, almost against his volition, to-ward the Union station. He took a longer route through the slum district to avoid being recog-nized. A great many people In the town knew Meyer. And one never needed to take more risks than neces-sary. Luckily, he had drawn a hun-dred dollars from the savings bunk that day to make a payment on his house. That would be enough to tuke him through to the const und keep him till he could dispose of his se-curities. He must let the other five hundred of his savings go. What a fool he had been to struggle all those years for Hanson I He was passing through a little al-ley when a man stepped out from a doorway In front of him. To Meyer's astonishment he recognized Waddell. "Hello, Meyer," Waddell nodded. "Mty you wouldn't come In with us on that deal. Well, that's up to yon. Hand 'em overt" He snatched at the pneknge In old Mtyer's hands. For nn Instant old Meyer did not understand what Wad-dell meant. Then, snatching it back, he started to rnn. He raised his voice. A blow fell on his head from behind, g him. And he screamed at the top of his voice, and fought with desperate fury. He had forgotten all about the const. He only remembered his years of service to the bank. And. still clutching desperately nt the pneknge, he sank Into oblivion. He opened his eyes to see a face staring Into his. As the room censed to revolve about hltn be discovered that he was lying In bed. The fuce beside his own was Hanson's. "Meyer," said Hanson, In a voice choked with emotion, "you've saved the bank fifty thousand dollars. That was tlie value of that package you held on to until the pollee arrived. And the bank won't forget It, ubout that re-quest for a raise come to me when business Is Improving and ask me again !" It FunnyT It is funny about some "realistic' novelists that they never write aboui any likable people, yet there are lots of them. Cosmic Rocks. One of the curious facts about me-teorites Is thut they often contain previously unrecognized minerals, al-though their chemlcul elements are familiar on the earth. One of the stones that fell In a meteoric shower at El Nukhla, 25 Ave miles east of A-lexandria, In Egypt, some time ago, was analyzed by Meunler of Paris. It Is pentagonal In outline, about four Inches long, an Inch and a half broad, and an Inch thick. Its composition Is pe-culiar and Trofessor Meunler, believ-ing thut the mlnernl of which It con-sists Is an entirely new compound, has proposed to cull It nakhllte. The source, or sources, from which meteor-ites come cannot be as yet designated, but their customnry great relative density suggests an origin In some massive body In spare. Ths Sams Face.

"No, It Isn't, sir," replied the boy, looking at the baby. "It's Just been washed, that's all!" |
