BUSINESS IS BUSINESS BUT—
& Business is business, says the
economist. But business with
out the added touch of humanity
would be almost unendurable and
on that foundation some good ad
vocate could base a plea for the
1 neighborhood store.
Too often do we hear the people
of the small toWn suburb say,
“The Jones store stock is so lim
ited, I don’t bother to look for
what I want there. I’ll have to
send to the mail order house.”
| They forget that if Mr. Jones
were asked for that article very
often he would have it in his
store.
X Nor do they realize that after
| all Jones can sell them more than
just the mere goods, that every
purchase in his store pays a divi
dend of service to the community.
II If they do not patronize their
| own store they cannot expect it
to build itself into an asset or to
consider their interests its
ests.
In hard times it is not the
order house nor the city
ment store that extends
it is the neighborhood
il keeper who provides food
clothing and takes the
that he may collect when
perity returns.

THE PUMPKIN PIE.
v The season of the exquisite
, home made pumpkin pie is at
hand.
S The kind you find in restau
rants are fair—but the variety
that tickle your fancy, and your
palate and your stomach, all at
the aame time, and as long as
there’s a last mouthful left, is the
old fashioned, home made kind.
Indiana brags of its buckwheat
cakes and sausage; Baltimore
speaks of its~ oysters and sea
food, and Iowa of her prairie
chickens; Boston her beans; Port
land, Me., her clams; El Paso her
hot tamales; Los Angeles its
fruit; Illinois its onions and
pork; Ohio and Vermont their
maple sugar; New York its cheese
—almost every city and state in
the union brags of something that
ia better than anywhere else in
the world, but the golden, glori
ous pumpkin pie knows no state,
no locality; it belongs to all of us
alike. i
There’s more real down right
democracy in the pumpkin pie
than in any other product of the
fields.
Pity the man who doesn’t love
pumpkin pie.
But it must be done right if
justice is to be done. ,>
A master’s hand must build it,
build lovingly and with wisdom.
8f& None must approach the mak
ing without due reverence and
li homage.
The hand of the queen who
stirs the milk and pumpkin, the
butter and the flour, the sugar
and the spices together must be
a lady hand, and the face that
bends over It must wear a smile,
1
of the maker’s personal-
must be put into the pie in
shape of smiles and sunshine,
it will be a failure, and no
is quite so bad as the fail
of the pumpkin pie.

ENVOY.
The spark that set fire to the
recent bloodless revolution in
Chile has been completely extin
guished. The political crisis
which precipitated an insurrection
and resulted in a newly-born lib

ALVIN VICTOR DONAHEY.
One of the most startling fea
tures of the recent election was
the overwhelming "Victory of Gov
ernor u Vic” lionahey in Ohio.*
In the face of a Republican land
slide which carried all other Re
publican state candidates,
dent Coolidge and
county tickets through to
running for re-election against ex
Governor Harry L. Davis, carried
the state by a plurality expected,
in official returns, to run around
the 150,000 mark.
Greatest Vote Getter.
Political students of both par
ties are unanimous in calling the
governor “the greatest vote getter
the state has ever had. ft
Donahey’s rise from a farm boy
to the position of chief executive
of his state reads like fiction.
He w£te bairn July 7, 1873, on a
farm in Tuscarawas county. As
named by his parents he is Alvin
Victor and he chose the name of
Vic for himself.
Donahey received his early
in the Tuscarawas county
schools and the Methodist Sunday
school. He quit school at the age
of 15 and went to work on a farm.
When he was 23 he married Miss
Edith Sterling, of Dover, Ohio.
They have ten children.
In 1900 Donahey was elected
clerk of Goshet township, which
includes New Philadelphia. In
1904 he was elected auditor of
Tuscarawas county and re-elected
in 1906. In 1912 he was elected
state auditor and re-elected in
1916.
Defeated in 1920.
In his first race for governor, in
1920, Donahey was defeated by
Harry Davis, of Cleveland, but in
1922 he defeated Carmi Thompson,
of Cleveland, for the first office in
the state.
Donahey and the state legisla
ture, strongly Republican, werq at
cross purposes during the session
of the General Assembly, with the
result that the governor set a new
record for vetoing bills passed by
the legislature, with 76. The Sen
ate struck back by refusing to
approve many of the administra
tive appointments. Both houses
re-enacted, over his veto, fourteen
measures he had disapproved.
Donahey did not have the back
ing of the Democratic bosses in
the recent campaign.

V. Ambassador William Miller
Collier.
“All Chileans, including the jun
ta, which has assumed power, pro
fess a desire to re-establish the
ordinary civil and constitutional
order as soon as it can possibly
be done, working out various re
forms, as to the necessity of
which there is a very general
unanimity of opinion," said the
ambassador, who added he did
not care to discuss conditions. He
refrained from commenting on
revolutions, except to say:
Bloodless Irevolt.
, I There has not been a particle
of blood shed or the slightest vi
olence, not even a street brawl,
nor any organized meeting of
protest. ft
He asserted the Chilean people
are calm, orderly and law-abid
ing, and every person who is ac
quainted with them has confi
dence they will be able in the im
mediate future to settle govern
ment problems and re-establish
themselves on a firm basis.

Akin To Galley Slaves.
Four men will pay with suffer

slaves.
They will lie strapped face
down to the ground while “legal
ized” prison whip of Texas falls
on bare backs.
Judge Refuses To Stop It.
Late Monday afternoon Judge
Walter Montieth, of the sixty

Date Is Kept Secret.
II Mutiny and impudence” to the
farm manager, Captain Buck
Ross, are the charges against
the four men, Roy Bird, Dr. E.
Roach, John Cook and Robert
Barnard.
It was on the strength of the
charges that Ross got permission
from the prison commission to
use the lash.
Authorities at the farm refused
to make known the date on which
the flogging would be given, or to
make any other statement.
Protest to Newspapers.
The order for the whipping was
revealed Monday in a letter from
26 of 27 men working on the
farm t who protested to a Houston
newspaper.
The four accused men had been
soaked from the h,eavy mists in
the cotton fields, and had merely
asked permission to change their
clothing, the statement of the
prisoners reads.
Denied permission, the men
changed anyway, the letter de
clares, but were gone only 30
minutes.
Ross immediately requested per
mission to inflict punishment with
the lash.

He fished in his pocket and haul

two buses were about to pass he
shouted something to the driver
of the second bus, at the same
time dangling the string in a most
tantalizing manner.
Instantly the air turned blue
with oaths, and whips slashed
viciously as the two buses passed.
<« Whatever’s the matter?” gasp
ed the astonished American.
u Oh, he makes me sick,” replied
the driver. “He ain’t go no sense
of humor. »»
a But what’s the string got to do
with it?” asked the American.

Throughout the United States
( of
on the memorable anniversary
the armistice which silenced the
guns of world strife the American
Red Cross called the people to
join it in the engagements of
peace.
The annual enrollment, which
opened on Armistice Day, Novem
ber 11, and ends on Thanksgiving
Day, November 27, will be in
progress throughout the 3,089
counties in the United States, upon
the high seas and in the insular
possessions.
More than 3,000 Red Cross
chapters, representing a total
membership of more than 3,300,
000, will engage in the member
ship campaign.
The chapter is the community
unit of the national organization
which carries out locally the ex
tensive program, services and poli
cies of the American Red Cross.
The industry of these thousands
of busy units is a voluntary and
steady outpouring of well-doing
and practical sympathy, softening
human suffering and distress
wherever it arises.
Strength in individual member
ship means effectual preparedness
of the Red Cross to cope with any
x
call, at any time, It
is this annual enlistment of mil
lions of Americans under the ban
ner of the American Red Cross
which makes possible the con
tinued work of this great and
democratic legion of “mercy,” say*
Judge John Barton Payne, head of
the national organization.
(< Membership in the Red Cross, ft
declares Judge Payne, “is a priv
ilege within the reach of everyone.
The need for service grows more
insistent each year. To keep pace
with the demands which come
from every section of our country
we must have the people’s loyal
support. Our capacity for service
in the years to come will be lim
ited only by the extent to which
we receive support for our work
in the coming Roll Call. »>
