One of the explosive orators, of the Billy Sunday type, who was harang- uing a crowd of society women for supposed slackness in war giving was neatly countered by one of them, who arose when he asked what any of them had given to the coun- try that amounted to anything. “My only son” was what she answered.

These figures will doubtless be of interest to men who spend $2 to $3 per month for advertising and then flatter themselves with the idea that they are liberal with the printer, and that they have done a great deal for charity. A print shop is not an ob- ject of charity and money put into right kind of advertising is money well spent—Urich Herald. Judge P. A.
