HOARDING THRILLS
E. R. Whelde has never taken a railroad trip, though for 39
years he has bean the railroad station agent at Milton, N. Y. Now,
retired on a pension at the age of 57, he starts a 7000-mile jaunt in
a Pullman. He wifi travel over the continent, visiting the alluring
. places to which his has been selling tickets since 1883. To put your
self in his place for a moment, just recall your breathless excite
ment when you took your first railroad trip long ago.
Many a man who figuratively “has seen and done everything”
would trade several-years of his life, to have followed Waelde’s
system and saved up a few of life’s simple thrills. Youth says,
“Hooray! Pm going there. First trip! Don’t you wish you were
me?"
Old age, conceited, cynical, boasts scornfully, “Aw, I’ve been
there. Don't expect too much. You’re apt to be disappointed.”
Yet old age envies youth’s excitement and anticipation. v4en
those are gone, youth is gone—and, with it, most of life that is
really worth while. Joy is in the pprsuit and conquest, not in the
capture and victory. Anticipation fcjmU realization. You young men,
taking hard knocks, trying your strength, you do not realise it hut
with all ypur hardship! and disappointments you are living the
best time pf your llyes. The trip, it ,the thing that counts, not the
destination. The lure of the sea, also its charm is in the voyage
rathpr than the far-off port. Young woman, too, some day will look
tiack with misty eyes and long for the dreamland of girlhood
Don’t be impatient Everything in life comes—oh, only too soon.

LETS HAVE THE ABATTOIR
' THe statement by the Mayor and Council that: they proposed
to erect a Municipal.Abattoir will be received with (ratification
by the people of Athens.
It. is jjist as important that the source pf food supply be super-
as it I* to see that fte water Its driph and it sources be kept
free from impurities.
We would not fqjt one minute consider using the water that
eopjgf from any "qld Ifra^chqjr creek, the a laugh ter'and sale of
IPpat. hag never peen properly regulated iH Athens and repugnant
aa the .thought ft. there Is n» dpubt but that pounds and pounds of
meat have been sold in Athens that were unfit for use. The only
way to prevent this In the. future is to erect a municipally con
trolled.absttpirand require all meat to be slaughtered there.
. The determination of the Mayor and Council to take this for
ward looking action will meet with the hearty endorsement of
every tax payer. ^ !

WHAT THE REPUBLICAN TARIFF MEANS
TO YOUR. POCKET BOOK. * .
‘ Kv,r V American fatpijy is. supposed to consume 450 pounds of
apgar each year. A greater part of this sugar Is imported into this
country. But the Republican tariff propokes to make the American
sqgajt consuming family pay just about *200,000,000 more a year
for its sweets. This sugar tax wiij touch every family pocket book
in tht country. .....
Negriy every American family wears gloves and here is what
the f roppsed Republican ftfiff will do to the American wearer of
glqyea. For the past nine yean the tax or tariff on gloves has been
♦2.00 per dozen. The proposed Republican tariff raises this tax to
something like ¥17.37 per dozen.
Some. J10,000,000 Americans wear shoes. For yean it has been
the,custom of even Republican tariff maken to put no extra bur
den on the feet of the American working man or Eis children, but
McCumber and his hard boiled Republican tariff makzn propose
» taif, of. $ 100,000,000. on hides which when worked up into shoes for
tq* American family will bring the cost of shoes to the American
people under such a.tariff to figures unknown in this past. . ,
A 11 i* estimated that the American people eat a million buahela
a day of |ri|h potatoes. Under the Underwood tariff there was no
iHMIHMIPmiQMIPmPIMIIPqpPpfcpl*. The iMcCumber
Rvpqblicsn tariff makers propose to tax this food of tbe people
1 something like a million and a quarter dollara a year.
. Perhaps the mogt foolish and hurtful jart of tbe new Repub
lican. tariff gs it will affect, the business -of this country may be
seen in tbe proposed tariff on wheat. America raises more wheat
than this country can consume. Therefore this surplus wheat must
ha exported to meet the competition of other wheat in the markets
of the world. Recording to the Republican tariff maker foreign wiieat
must dm jitft out of Amercjan markets by the prohibitive tariff.
e j ujt how Jt worfw Qut
American market, we force
^ ! market with this self same
wheat, and as American wheat must be exported to dispose of the
cure 1 " 3 wheat this country,raises, the tariff has not benefltted the
American wheat fanner after all.'Unless the American farmer can
disp^c.nf his surplus wheat ip (he foreign.ipirket, ft ft a drug on
his hands and will natjirally force lower prices in the American,
market. . , ' , ' ,
But thc'American manufadturpr who wants to trade ft foreign
markets has lost bis chance to do so, /when wo force foreign raised
wheat rnd other products away from this market, to compete with
them later in wheat sales in England, Germany, Italy and other
countries. America must buy the products of other countries, if we
pro to establish trade relations with them. If South America has
wheat for/sale, and America.doesn’t buy this wheat, then we may
b> sure that when Souh America buys goods of all sorts with her
wheat money, that shg ft gqfng ft make these purchases in ,the
same market that hgs bought bey.whftt, '
The proppsed Republican tariff is going to bear heavily on
States, It is going to bear
tidal wave of popular op-

ed States in the coming Faff elections. The Republican Jeadersun,
der Lodgp gild McCumber have had nearly two years to Wke good.
They have only sueeeodsd go far la disgusting a large portion of
the American people by their do notblng. policy. They are going.to
disgust. g» fm J«»er jK)rtftn, If they pass the proposed Republi

The*|Test of Good Will
™Mo^mai^ifacturors appreciate the 5
importance of good will on the part of 1
the vdealer, and count it one of theip
greatest assets./ But many of them
ne^d to consider . more thoroughly in
what good will consists.
■ The kind of good will that counts
rmost with the dealer is the good will
■ of the public towards your goods.
The final test of good will is thet
salability of tno product—the con-*
sumer demand.
The dealer may be willing to con
cede the high standing and prestige of
the manufacturer.- He acknowledges
freely that it is one of the foremost
concerns in the business, that it is
backed by men who have a solid repu
tation in their industry, and - that its
relations with the-dealer are business
like and pleasant He is disposed to
estimate aU these things at full value.
, But all this good will can66t lpate-
rially help the dealer sell your goods
unless the public is dispo:
them,
.to | buy
t If the consumer is demanding your
product, and the dealer is able to sup
ply it at a profit, he will have ample
good will for the house that makes
this possible. ,
> There is just one way to build up
this consumer good wifi, and that is
by making the product right, and tell
ing the consumer about its merits
through Advertising.
With the consumer demanding your
product, apd the dealer disposed to
give it every preference, its steady
sale is certain. Good, will becomes a
big reality in business when that good
will extends to the consumer. More
and better advertising will create the
kind of good will that every manufac
turer needs most.
