EIG MEN IN SMALL TOWNS: — "It’s the finest town in the finest state,” says h red W. Anderson of his home town, Conzad, Nebraska. If you could have heard him say that with all his natural enthusiasm

before the convention of the Interstate Merchants' Council at Chicago, last week, you would have begun to understand how he has built up a general store business that amounts to over $300,000 a year in a town of 1,300 population. It was a fascinating story he told. It gave everyone who heard it a better idea of the opportunities that are lying around in every good little town re ady to be picked up. It also convinced those present that if you have the “stuff you can make a big Inlsiness out of life, regardless of where you live. Anderson’s beautiful store once existed only in the dreams of a little country boy. "I'm going to be a storekeeper. and I’m going to have a big store. It’s going to be the biggest store in the town.” So when he grew older he began to work toward that goal. He learned all about merchandise and merchandising, but the greatest thing that he learned —or perhaps It naturally came to him—was to be a good fellow and to help the town along in every possible way. Here are some of the little things, he says, that help make u tiusincss big: "We get on friendly terms with the farmers when they drive in, and we help them carry their groceries out to the wagoli. “We have a league baseball team in our town, and our store finances the team through the season. We put on free movie shows. We let organizations hold sales in our store. Wc support the local newspaper. We never knock a competitor,—we don’t believe in trying to get ahead that

way. “We like the town and its people and the people who live in the conn try for miles around the town. An< we listen to their stories because w< are never too good to talk to any body." These are simple rules, but mix them wi ll good business intelligence and you Lave the/ stuff that success anywhere is made of. The police order that all cars must stop at “Five Points" has been affirmed by the board of safety, acting upon a petition filed by a number of citi«en 3 to change the order so the north and south route would be open. We accept their decision, knowing they have given the matter careful thought and are acting for the best interests of all the people as they see it. There is one thing sure and that is: We can’t be to o careful if we would avold *<.. cidents, we believe in co-operation 11.'. me !.hi 1 S . he O j. der v , c bGli „ ve it should be rigidly compiled with.

Face to Face J With' Judge B. B. Lindsey Juvenile Court Authority , (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) i Mention Juvenile Court and you 'l think of Judge Lindsey, Ever since I the day he was born in Jackson. |Tennesse .Benjamin Harr Lindsey has been busy. While in the public schools he determined that boys should have their chance. At the age of twenty-one he was admitted to the bar, but he had already started the

study of juvenile courts as a boy. All his carefully gathered information j served him well when he launched his crystallized ideas as Judge of the v Junventle Court in Denver, Colorado, t in 1901. Not content with merely pre- L siding in juvenile courts, he becifln" a • promoter of the juvenile court system f throughout the country and origin- >, , ated many of the features that have n given him an international reputation t as an authority on juvenile delin r , quency. He put boys who were sen- ( | fenced to industrial schools on their honor, allowing them to go unattend- j ed. and only five out of several bun- is dred ever betrayed this trust. | c , Mingling with and working among o the boys, Judge Lindsey saw the n

• necessity of statutory protection and ; succeeded in having the first contributory delinquency law against adults pased by the Colorado legislature, insisting that negligent parents and employes should be held account--1 able. A medium-sized man with black eyes, he is a very forceful and vigorous speaker. It is not long before you realize that no father could be more interested in his own children than Judge Lindsey is in all children The work he has established in l>enver is looked upon as the Mother Juvenile Court. A mere record of the laws inaugurated and fathered by Judge Lindsey totals one hundred and fifty-one—a statute book in itself. ‘There are lonie who wonder whether we are not going too far the other way and giving the children too much predigested help. If all the eminent men of the past who have achieved had lived under restrictions of the Child Ijibor Laws, they w.ould have likely been less eminent.” An ardent Progressive, he has

the train was accosted by a flock of newspaper men who wanted his pic ture. He refused, but when told that the “set-up” had cost six hundred dol lars, which would be lost if he didn’t stop long enough to “look pretty,” he agreed to stand a couple of minutes. Just as the camera men were ready, a couple of thrifty-looking gentlemen walked up and posed beside the republican vice-presidential candidate who left in a rage with the remark that “they couldn’t make a d n movie man out of him.” Wouldn’t it he awful to have him talking to the 1 United States senate in such langu-

It would be interestng to know just x what developments have been made c over there in a country millions o' 3 years older than old mother earth and it is not impossible that somi day the information wil be obtainable However, we Will not be able to tel’ much more about it tomorrow than any other day for we are still thirty five million miles separated from the old planet.

A If Os JUDGE BEN LINDSEY says: ‘‘What can be compared to the work of helping to build the lives of boys and girls—those who come after us." given of himself and all the money he could make to the cause which is near to his heart. For months at a time he has been on trips without receiving compensation. His criisadic work is comparable to that of Wendell Phillips, Garrison, and Beecher, in their zeal for reform. Now that he has turned the half tentury mark, he has the satisfaction jf grateful acknowledgements from nearly all the nations of tlie earth for

the spirit of helpLulness to youth* which he has helped to wireless around the world. The dominant passion of hit, life is to do something that will help chil- ' dren. Whether lecturing in Chautauquas, in halls, or after court, or the meetings has adjourned, Judge Lindsey has that colloquial way of I giving out information that sets us to thinking. “What can be compared to the Work of helping to build the lives of boys and girls —those who come liter us. What else is there in life than to do some thing to help those who are to follow. Why should they suffer the things wo have suffered? Why should we not make advance in ethics, morals and education as well as in mechanical developments? Much of my life has been given to juvenile courts, but the dream that comes to me is the time when mothers and fathers will so care for and train their children at home that juvenile courts be unnecessary to give boys and girls a fair start in life.”

if any of them felt they could not support the state ticket because of the position taken by the party on the klan question or for any other reason, they ought to retire as committeemen for it was not fair to the organization. And that is certainly right.

SERVANT OF ALL This Bank is not ashamed to he called a Servant We are here to serve you. The only excuse a man or an institution has for living is < to serve the common good. v The Peoples Loan & Trust Co. Bank of Service \ An Appreciation of Red Crown MirarTivi i 1 ti lilifi ffWii The High-Grade Gasoline THERE’S just one way you can know the vast difference between Red Crown and other gasolines. That is by asking Red Crown to get you out of difficulties. It does it every time. Here’s one man’s experience: “Red Crown had been my engine fuel for many years—long tried, well tested, and entirely satisfactory—- “ But, in a foolish moment, YOU KNOW, on the advice of a (so-called high-test) gascline salesman, I changed my brand, and for several months used other kinds of gasoline with various unsettling results, as: Short mileage, with more frequent filling of my gas tank; hard to start after the lighter elements were used out of my tank; lack of power on a hill, with always in low as I climbed; and, to top my difficulties, one day I ran out of ‘gas’ on the hill. “Then I was cured. I nad always carried a gallon of Red Crown under the seat, and 1 put it in the tank and climbed the hill on high gear for the first time in months. Red Crown for me from now on.” F urthermore, Red Crown takes a hint with a haste that will delight you. It has the right attitude toward its job — peppy, active, ready to anticipate your desires, and always dependable. Forestall trouble. Put Red Crown in your tank now—and laugh at sand, grades and mud! . At tie following Standard Oil Senice Station: Corner Mercer and Winchester Sts.
