What can we buy to cot. or wear any cheaper now than wo could before the Wllaon Tariff law went Into effect?" W« find the above query In a letter nent from "The People” to one of the streng Democratic dallleii In New York. Kueh questions aa these ema nate from those who have eyes to See, but see not. It Is for this reueon a waste of time to offer enlightenment, but. since others, with less deliberate and determined stupidity are some times impressed with these superficial efforts to reflect upon Democratic principles of government It Is ns well to respond that with war In Europe and our import trade entirely knock ed to pieces, wo arc getting a double dose of "protection.” The war In short, ts doing In a very large and terrible way, what protectionists Iwve been striving to do for America all along. It la entirely removing outside com petition and leaving us to the mercy iso to, ironically, speak) of our own Bear trusts and combinations. In how much worse a ease we would l have found ourselves had our govern invent been depending, ns it has de tpended tinder Republican control, \ipon high tariffs upon imports we | leave to the reckoning of those who i are willing to see a plain proposition (and reason it out. We are suffering still from the high jeost of living, but Its cost Is nothing Dike It would have been had this dls [aetrous war broken upon us after the J’alne-Aldrlch ahomlnutlon Probably there were a number of who believed that when Mr. 'Wilson and the Democrats got the reins of government In their hands that all the evils of the mistaken amt fallacious politics uiton which, for half a century the country has been building, would vanish as by the wav ing of a fairy's waml. This would not have happened, even If the na tions of Europe had not decided to bold up the world's commerce and progress, hut a few years would have shown a remarkable Improvement. As it is. we need only watt a little while \ before the most unthinking cltiten ! will reallte that the strain of living Is letting up. Certainly, this country has never been in a more prosperous and prom - tslng condition. Republican calamity bowlers, to the contrary, notwith standing. ANTWERP.

Above are three of the characters in “How Helen Helped,” a story by Hal Coffman, which shows in prose and picture the life of a girl in a business office and her influence upon the men she meets there. The first chapter, “Hey, kid, who’s the peach?” will shortly appear on this page. Some of the chapters to fol low are: “That’s a good girl and you let her alone.” “That can’t be me; it’s the whiskey I’ve been “You’ll pay for this!” drinking.” “No, no; I must look after Helen.” “Boy, boy, don’t you see what you are losing?” “I’ll get that fellow yet.” “Give me time and I’ll find the culprit.” MR. FOX AND HIS CRUTCH. Aa Mr. Fox was going home one night, he saw n crutch lying by the aide of the road across which he had to go to reach his home. Ho eyed tile crutch suspiciously at * ssalkre /e / s«ee Ass? e—< ra jtsw ear, "asst .er * first, and then he remembered having seen some one walking with one once, and he leked it up 'i'll tako it home; It may come in handy," he said, amt before he reached home he had an Idea. The next day he limited out of the house leaning upon the crutch and walking very aloxfly. Pulling a New Product on the Map A new chewing gum has been put on the map and 500,000 dealers stocked, and it was all done in sixty days. In addition, a tremendous consumer de mand has been created that is keeping the factory busy. It has largely been done by bold, aggres sive newspaper advertising. The same advertising that is influencing the consumer is proving effective with dealers. They are glad to stock up with an ar ticle that easily moves from their counters because it is advertised in home news papers. The way from factory to cpsh register is via the newspaper advertising route. “How Helen Helped” An Illustrated Serial Story of Business, Guile and Love, "What is the matter with you, Mr. Fox,” asked Jack Rabbit, who hap pened along Just then. “O! 1 have sprained my ankle," re plied Mr. Fox, limping more than be fore he met Jack Rabbit. "Why don't you stay In the house, then, and let It get well?” asked Jack Rabbit. "You should not try to walk about on a sprained ankle.” ■'Yes, I know, but the doctor said this ankle needed exercise, so I am going to walk over the hill a short distance anfl sit In the stm.” "Now, that is funpy,” thought Jack Rabbit. “He never Is anxious to be out In the daytime or walk about if there Is nothing to he gained." Jack Rahhlt ran along behind Mr. Fox. hiding behind bushes and stones and trees, so that Mr. . Fox'hnh no thought that anyone was following him. By and by when he felt sure no one was watching him. Mr. Fox put the crutch over Ids shoulder and walked along ns well ns ever he had. "Well. 1 never," said Jack Rabbit, when he snw this, "he Isn’t lame a bit. he Is Just making believe,” and Jack rabbit was so surprised that he almost forgot to follow until Mr. Fox was almost out of sight, then he had to scamper aa fast ns he could to catch up to him. Rut ho did pretty soon, and Just before Mr. Fox reached the farmhouse he began to limp again and use the crutch. "lie Is up to something,” said Jack Rabbit, "but I cannot think what It can be that he needs that crutch to help him.” Mr. Fox began walking up anh down THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. HELEN HAWTHORN, THE STENOGRAPHER. on the road by the farm yard, and soon the hens and geese and ducks and turkeys were looking through the fence at him. “Oh, look at Mr. Fox,” called out a fat goose, who spied him. "What Is the matter, Mr. Fox, are you hurt?” she asked. This was Just what Mr. Fox wanted, so he could limp close to the fence and tell them how helpless he was. He walked very slowly and stopped once or twice before he came up to them. “I have sprained my ankle,” he told them. VI slipped on a stone crossing a brook and I am very lame. I can hardly walk,'You see.” "How did you get up here then?” asked an old hen, with her head a safe distance through the fence rails. "My dear madam, I am obeying the doctor," replied Mr. Fox. “He told me to take exercise, and the best place was up on this hill, he said, so I climbed up hero with the greatest difficulty, I as sure you, but T must obey the doctor If I expect to get well.” That In man which does not perish is his personal Influence. Since we are creatures of environment and heredity, if you wisely shape the en vironment of those about you and transmit that which Is good to your— and their—posterity you. will live. And the waves of time shall dash Impo tent ly against your life, next year and MAKING JOB STEADY. A report soon to be made by inves tigator* who have looked into the thrift and morals of employes of Henry Ford at Detroit should prove a remarkable addition to the available data about the relation of thrift to good cltlsenship and community pros perity. It is not generalty known that fol lowing the announcement of a profit sharing plan In the great Ford plant a corps of one hundred investigators began collecting the important facts concerning every employee, so the company may determine Just what ts the square thing to dii In every indi vidual case. The investigators were moetly recruited from the ranks of Ford employes, and were known to possess those Qualities which are most necessary for work of this character. Some were hired from the outside— doctors, lawyers and well-educated men who were known to have hard sense and ability to understand men and conditions. latch investigator spends his entire time going from one place to another in the car provided by the company, with a driver and interpreter, learn ing all he can about the men whom he is asked to investigate. He finds out how they live, what the condi tions ure In their homes, how they spend their evenings, what recreations they Indulge in, how much money they have saved, how much they send abroad, how many persons are depen dent upon them, and, in fact, every thing possible that will aid in the smallcet way to determine whether they are to receive a share of the Ford profits. It is not hard for one to Imagine that Ford workmen are contented. Each one knows to a surety that he will be rewarded for his skill and en terprise; that he cannot be and it not overlooked. Kach one knows that he is valued for his individuality, that if he does good work It will be noticed at once and that if he fails he will be instantly detected. It has been said that the "square Idacl" program which has been tn ope ration months before the profit-shar- That Which Lives THE WAYS OF THRIFT PAUL VAN BUREN, SON OF “THE OLD MAN.” All the barnyard fowls were close to the fence now, looking at Mr. Fox with wide open eyes. "I could be happier if I had some one to walk with me,” said Mr. Fox, moving away, “and I must not stand still too long, the doctor told me not to do that, so I must walk again. Won’t one or two of you charming creatures come along, too?” “He cannot harm us,” said one young goose, “and it would be such an adventure to talk of a walk with that sly Mr. Fox. I believe I will go.” On she waddled to a place where shs could get under the fence, but Just as she was crawling under Mr. Dog leaped over the fence, and awa y ran Mr. Fox, dropping his crutch and go ing over the hill like seven kinds of foxes, running lickerty spilt, I an tell you. Jack Rabbit laughed until ,te could not sit up when he saw .vhat hap pened. Copyright, 1914 by the McClure News paper Syndicate, New York City, next century.

And it has been pointed out that thl* was to be accomplished by making each man satisfied with his job, by giving him the squarest of deals. “Now, let’s see how the thing actually worked out," says a Ford bulletin. "At the end of one month’s trial of comparison w-as made with the month of December, 1912, a typical month under the old system.” Here is the table of comparison; Dec.
