The independ ent retail store, however, will not disappear, he says, although It will change its business methods ' radi cally.

TOO BUSY TO SMILE 5ouHce:TEARS Baking Rjwder Guaranteed Pure Use KC for fine texture and large volume in your bakings Millions of pounds used by our Government NOTICE NOTICE Charles M. Schwab, tells reporters that among the lessons that life has taught him there has been nothing much more 'valuable than the im portance of the slogan, "keep smil ing." , "Ah, that is the thing." says Mr. Schwab. "Be happy, boys. Enter into your work good-naturedly. It you succeed, laugh.' But better still, if you fail, laugh, too." This, coming from one of the country's leading industrialists, must be accepted as sage advice. Yet it represents a philosophy, popular as It may be in this country, in which we Americans do not really believe. Ever since the Declaration of In dependence, or thereabouts, we have prided ourselves on our national sense of humor. That old doggerel about "the man who'a worth while is the man who can smile" probably can be repeated irora tne memory by three Americans out of every four. Yet, for all that, we don't really mean it and we aren't really light- hearted. The pioneer humor of the country In the District Court of the County had a kind of gaunt, grim quality of Cass, Nebraska i to it, as if laughter were only the jennie A smith. momentary easing or a great ten-1 Plaintiff alon.
