I WILSON’S GROCERTERIA
■
*. b.
I
TO reduce the high cost of living we have adopted the Gash and Carry
System, under the name of WILSON’S GROCERTERIA.
By this means we can save our customers a great amount on their pur
chases. Everything is plainly marked showing the price, and if you can’t come,
send servant and they will be given an adding machine slip and a cash
register receipt, for your convenience.
We are going to continue carrying the highest grade of groceries that we
can possibly buy, and we want to impress upon you that the cutting of prices
does not mean that we are cutting the quality of our groceries.
In our Grocerteria we have a fresh meat department, which is clean and
neat and thoroughly scr eened, and we are carrying the highest grade of Kansas
City beef that we can obtain, Just one order will convince you of the superior
quality of this meat to the ordinary kind.
In connection with our'Grocerteria we will carry a line of heavy groceries
in the rear of the same building, and out of this department we will make only
one delivery a day, same leaving the store promptly at nine o’clock in the morn
ing. i his department will be operated for cash just as the Grocerteria, and all
orders that are not paid for before delivery, will be sent C. 0. D.
Assuring you of our appreciation of a share of your patronage.
Very respectfully,
J. D. Wilson & Sens,

WASHINGTON, D. C.—Twenty
thousand persons in the United States
are now rated as millionaires, the
new income tax reports show. More
than 12,000 new millionaires were
created in this country during the
four years of the European war.
The internal revenue bureau is re¬
ceiving these reports from all parts
J of the country as a result of the fil¬
ing of returns for the three months
period which ended last Monday. I
1 The millionaires class, according
to government standards, includes
; all persons whose incomes for the
calendar year are at leat $ 50,000 on
5 per cent, of $ 1 , 000 , 000 . This, of
course includes some high salaried
executives whose private fortunes do
n0 £ total $1 000 000 ,
On the other hand tho millionaire ■
class includes many persons whose
incomes are well n above 1- 1000000 1,000.000 a
year. Thus, for the last full year
; for which reports were available to
j day sixty-seven persons paid taxes on
income ranging from 1,000.000 to
1,500,000 a year. The average tax
paid by these persons for the year
was $249,9b8.
,For the same year four persons
mads returns on personal incomes of
at leat $5,000,000 each. The aver
age tax paid by this group was $4,
937,731.
In J;he calendar year of 1913 ap¬
proximately 7,500 persons were rat¬
ed millionaires, according to the in¬
ternal revenue bureau. In 1915
there were 17,000 millionaires, and
in 1917 there were 19,103.

It is quite encouraging (?) to an
editor, remarks the Metter Adver
tiser, after having just written an ar
tide laudatory of his home town, par
ticularly mentioning certain indivi
duals, to go out and find that these
same persons have recently had an
order for printing filled by an out-of
town house. But that is the exper
lence of the publisher of every coun

Mary Pickford as Amy, “The Hood¬

for Slum Gullion.
Alary Pickford has a most
tile part in her latest production
from her own studios, “The Hood¬
lum,’’ which wil be seen beginning
Feb. 11—12 at the Franklin Thea¬
tre.
Amy Burke, played by Miss Pick¬
ford is first seen as the pampered
granddaughter of the wealthy Alex¬
ander Guthrie, a hard-hearted man
whose love is confined only to his
money and to Amy. Besides her
father, Amy is blessed by no othei
relatives. And the father is a socio¬
logical writer whose work makes im¬
perative his presence in the toughest
and most sordid tenement street in
New York.
Trade, Europe For An Alley
Eschewing a trip to Europe with
her grandfather. Amy decides to live
in the slums with her father while
he writes the book which is expected
to make him famous.
Rather than jeopardize her fath
er’s work, Amy decides to adapt her¬
self to surroundings and win Ifc,
friendship of her poor but whole
souled associates. She becomes the
meanest looking girl in C'reighen
Street, the infallible crap shooter, a
fearless shimmie dancer and a “come
on-kid” for thugs, street sweepers
and colossal cooties.
How Amy’s kindly nature I?
awakened through her association
with the poor to an extent which
leads her to dress as a boy and at¬
tempt to rob her grandfather’s home
in the desire to vindicate the man her
grandfather jailed and whom she
loves leads to a surprising climax.

HOW IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
From the Alpharetta Free Pres,.
We know a Georgia merchant liv¬
ing in a country town who pays his
local newspaner nearly $1,000 a year
for advertising. This merchant has
pursued this policy for many years,
and the result is that he has grown
immensely rich, while giving the peo¬
ple of his county the very best ser¬
vice.
In this fast age, when almost every
household receives the local paper
each week, the merchant who neg¬
lects to advertise his wares is stand¬
ing in his own light, and likewise
failing in his duty to support the most
active agent of progress and prosper¬
ity in his community. It is not only
good policy on the part of a business
man to advertise his goods, but it is
duty to support with his patron¬
age the newspaper which continual¬
ly places before the public the best
things to be said about his county.
The merchant referred to in the a
b'ove paragraphs is a Christian gentle¬
whose influence is behind every
movement in his county. lie
in his local paper not only
it pays him dollars and cents
do so, but because he believes it is
duty to uphold the newspaper
influence, in his community is
the moral side of every ieeue.
