an opportunity is now presented you to take advant

week out of your salary or wages and it is never noticed.
We are your friends in time of sickness and need and our
wonderful chain of stores have been built up to the won
derful success that they have attained through the liber
ality of the system that is original with us.
Our prices are just as low and sometimes lower than

convince you of the fact. Credit to all, none refused. We
give S. & H. Green Trading Stamps, ask for them.

GENERAL MENTION
Bits
of Labor News Picked Up
Local and Other Fields
in
The store of Miller & Paine closes
at 6 o'clock every evening except Sat
urday, when It closes at 7 o'clock. This
ought to mean a whole lot to union
people who are working for the shorter
work day.
Rogers & Perkins carry a large line
of union made shoes.
Walter Brown, foreman of the Freie
Presse press rooms writes that he Is
much benefited in health by his so
journ in Hoosierdom. He expects to

Congressman Ellis, of the Fifth Mis
souri district attended Kansa City Tjh
pographical Union's eight-hour demon
stration last week and came out with
out equivocation in favor of the eight
hour day.
Kansas City Typographical Union
voted almost unanimously against par
ticipating in any Labor day parade this
year.
By referendum vote the Amalgama
ted Sheet Metal Workers have called a
The June Social a Success From the
Start to the Finish.
The June social of Capital Auxiliary
No. 11 was held at Bohanon's hall
Wednesday evening, and while the
attendance was not as large as it
should have been it was large enough
to evidence a continued interest in
the Auxiliary. A musical program
of unusual excellence was rendered,
opening with a piano and cornet duet
by Fred W. Mickel and Clarence
Mickel. Mf. Mickel officiated on the
cornet and Master Clarence presided
at the piano. Little Miss Dorothy
Righter and Master Perry Barngro-
ver greatly pleased the audience. Mas
ter Perry singing while Miss Dorothy
presided at the piano. Mr. Peters
sang a couple of solos and Master
Clarence Mickel rendered a piano solo.
Fred Karcher and Don Thomas en
tertained the audience for thirty min
utes, Karcher playing the saxophone,
bango and cello, while Thomas ac
companied on a harp-guitar. These
gentlemen have well earned reputa
tions for musical ability and they
added to it on this occasion. Many
professional teams drawing big mon
ey stack up beside Karcher and
Thomas like three lead dimes by the
side of a week's wages. Had they
been influenced wholly by applause
the chances are that they would have
been playing yet.
After the close of the show at the
Oliver Mr. Jesse Fulton and Mr. Cas
tlebury appeared, Mr. Fulton singing
one of his best songs and Mr. Castle
bury singing a rollicking song and
winding up with a little jig step that
greatly pleased all present. Mr. Jack
Glines, manager of the Fulton Stock,
company, made a great hit with a
baton swinging act, showing himself
to be an artist in that as well as in
other lines. From start to finish the
program was entertaining, and it had
a lot of musical entertainment beaten
both ways from the midle. Mr. Ful
ton was '.urged to sing more, but
could not ' respond, owing to limited
time. Refreshments were served dur
ing the eveuing, and dancing was in
dulged in bys Jhose who so desired.
Taken as a whole the social was one
of the best, ever given by an organiza
tion in the city. The thanks of the
Auxiliary are due to the gentlemen
who so kindly lent their services, and
they will please consider this as offi
cial notification thereof.

GUARDED INDIFFERENCE
May C , the six-year-old caughter
of a Presbyterian clergyman in a small
Georgia village, had a playmate,
Jimmy by name, of whom it w is her
custom to make a special mention
in her evening prayer at her mother's
knee. One evening after some child
ish quarrel, Mrs. C noticed that the
boy's name was omitted from the peti
tion, and said, "Mary, aren't you go
ing to pray for Jimmy tonight?" "No,
mother; he's a mean, hateful boy, and
I'm never going to pray for him any
more." Her mother made no reply,
not wishing to add fuel to the flame
and decided to allow the youthful con
science to work out the problem in
its own way. Tn a few moments she
fell upon her knees, and said, m
a tone of guarded indifference: "God,
you can bless Jimmy if you want to,
but you needn't do it on my account."
