The war has x come to these. Not as it has come to so many places in America, with greedy fingers for profits and for beloved i' ones. It has come clad in a toga of hustling bank notes, bearing golden ! greetings. 1 hese tiny temples of rejuneverai tion for the ancient, little old last years duds are fairly walloring in iwealth throughout the country. Since I war was declared and the country has .fallen in the grip of a tight-fisted ■ economy, the pay of these "little busi- j r ness’ men has dawned. Persons who scorned to have a once worn hat refurnishbd or wear repaired shoes , have reformed to the repair shopI M u ers benefit ami little business walks hand in hand with prosperity.
