Yhe story filters in via the Nebraska Citv Press of a florist ami an Italian fruit vender whose business houses were side by side. Th florist had his national slogan, "Say It With Flow ers orominently displayed in the win dow, and this excited the admiration and emulation of the Italian, who put WD a similar sism: "Do It With Bananas." , Sort of throwing banana peels in jour enemy 8 path, praps. The woman folk generally sniff nrnmfullv when any man arises and claims that he can cook. But don't be flereived its onlv jealousy.

When the lights went out, passersby could hear a full house sing ing, "Brighten the Comer Where Ytu Are." , Then they started singing, "Send the Light," and after a while the prayer was answered.

Now the Campfirettes are going for u whole month without eating candy, dopes or anything between meals. .This is a straight tip to the high school swains to ask them to line up at the soda fountain. BAPTIST cyiURCII. Can you beat it! What? The fol lowing, a basis for a story on the faith fulness of a church and the determina tion of a crowd of people to get a neat in the building. You say, "Shoot"; well, here goes: A full house at 7 o'clock; a Are two doors away at :15; about one-fourth of the audience ieave the building to see the fire; immedi ately their seats are taken U'., the house is full again. The loyal pianist, orchestra and choir kept their stations, music and songs are furuish'Hl to en tertain the people. The pastor's curio? ity pets the best of him and he gees to the fire, returns find.) all light out, aisles crowded with people. 1'atriotic songs are sung, three kerosene lumps are secured, candles, and a gas lamp later. People try to force their way in the building. Fire rages for forty-Avo minutes and all that time the building is full to overflowing. Services Mart 45 minutes late, three men kept busy filling the main and back ai.sle vith chairs, the song service over bv dim light, the lecture begins, and about 8:35 the electric lights are back on. Crowds tiy to get in the building only to find all aisles full and no standing room left. lecture continues, amid i un, humor and pathos, fire is exting lished, invitation given, two more come for ward for the Master, making five adults for the day. This is followed by a baptism service of nine others. At 10 oclock the crowd disperses, Mjr'ng they have laughed more tho.-e ihrce hours than any three hour in their lives. To what can we attribute thU .von derful record? The loyalty -of the pianist, the orchestra, and choir, not one of whom left the building, the knowledge upon the part of the people in general that the messages delivers! from the Baptist pulpit are worth i ll the discomfort one may Ik? called upon to suiter. lUal religion, honestly con sidered, fearless attack of the e iU of life regardless who is hit, all this in terspersed with pood clear humor. Come to the friendly church wit't the friendly grip, on the Joy coiner, Sev enth and Laramie. B. J. M1NOUT, Tator.

Quality isn't just a word; it's a fact; you don't get it in clothes unless it's there. Hart Schaffner & Marx make a business of putting quality in clothes; materials, making, smart style. We make a business of selling that kind of merchandise. We could sell cheaper stuff at lower prices; stuff that's priced lower because it's of cheaper quality. We don't want to sell it because our customers really don't want it; no ((gold bricks" here.
