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.

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. PERSONAL LIBERTY Freedom is the one thing for people will fight and die, without which they are mis Most every man knows that the thing to every normal hu being is freedom, yet there millions of men who never their wives one breath of While some men regard their as angels to be worshipped, others regard their wives as slaves. Others regard their wives as scapegoats who are to blame for everything that goes wrong. No real man, no matter how good and kind and generous a father he has, could endure ing to him every day and papa to please give him his fare and lunch money, and to buy a new necktie. If he worked all day in father’s store or office and the very best that was in him building up the business, he regard father as a grinding rant and the champion wad if he got no pay on Saturday night and still to go to papa and ask for car fare and lunch money. Yet that is precisely the tjon of thousands of women husbands refuse to make any sort of a personal ance. To their families they give vice so great and never that money cannot ever pay yet they never have a penn y their own that they do not to wheedle out of their Marriage should be a 50-50 con tract. People often marvel that wo men show such Christian forti tude in bearing the loss of a Hub band who was an estimable citi zen and a good provider. It may be because many a wo man draws through her widow’s veil the first breath of freedom she has ever had in her life, and that consoles her for everything else. Our great men used to leave their footprints on the sands of time; now too many of them leave their thumb prints on the police records. A young . fife’s diamonds are not reliable evidence of the size of her husband’s bank roll, but they are a sign of how long it will last. A vice president of the United States is an obscure office hold er who was a prominent man until he was elected vice presi dent. The best position any young man can get is the one from which he can take a long running jump into the midst of hard work. The modern young man too of ten discovers that the girl whom he selected as a help-mate is a check mate. The propaganda against Ameri can girls marrying foreign noble men might be called a count-of fensive. There is too much of a crime wave because too many prosecu tors waive.

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.

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.
