VOICE OF P E O P lTe WOULD INCLUDE GIRLS To the Editor: Many years ago Thomas K. Beecher of Canandaigua, N. T., gave a very Interesting address to the National grange in annual session on "The Most Valuable Product of the Farm the Boys and Girls." I am very much interested In the articles reporting the commencement by the Chamber of Commerce of your city of plana for the uplift of the boys of the city. Why not also Include the girls in the movement? There are now a very important part of city affairs as well as of farm life. For many years we have delegated to the girls and women the majority attendance at church and Sunday school. VTE VOTERS are about to ALLOW the women of this state and the nation the right of suffrage. Before that comes to pass the women and girls as well as th; boys ought to be taught their rights and duties as voters and cltixens. We have now too many voters who are not citizens in the best use of the term. If eacll and all the Chambers of Commerce of your county will work to gether with all the other organizations j ror tne upnrt or in young; people, we

Arthur behutz, Florist. 12-: TAKEN By NTERSTATE It has been known for some time that neg-otlations were under way whereby the Interstate Iron and Steel Co, of East Chicago, were to purchase the interests of the Grand Crossing Tack Co., of Chicago. Announcement came yesterday that the deal had been completed and that this was one of the ph'ates ot the expansion that this enterprising- companyl contemplates for the immediate future. I It is also understood that the workingforce has been Increased by the addition of a new executive, Samuel Hale, formerly connected with the Wisconsin Stel Co., of South Chicago. DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE BT SR. K. E. SA3LXAB.S. Tut rood and Sror Commissioner tot Indiana. (Writtea for tha United Frets.) INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Dec. 23. Don't make the mistake, la these days of high cost of living;, of buying food on which the price has been cut. Cut prices in food shouM cret suspicion. Merchants may get rid of their entire stock of furs or other such goods at half price and make money by doing it, but there Is no money la. cut price groceries either to the man who sells or the man who buys. Please do not take me too literally. Competition may compel a difference of two cents a pound In the price of butter sold on opposite corners. Sugar may be sold at a price to lure trade; coffee and tea may be .offered at special bargains, but whenever meats are offered at unusual prices, it is best to inquire closely into its character. Whenever fish is sold at cut prices, you may be sure It Is worth no more than is asked for it. When canned goods are offered at prices below the cost of production, they are no bargains. Foods are staples on the market. They are sold on a small margin. The average increase in retail over wholesale price is usually 20 per cent. If It were not for the fact that most foods are sold promptly and turned quickly Into cash, the grocers could not live. The milk man converts his stock in trade into cash three hundred and sixty five days in the year. There is no such a thing as a bargain In milk. If you are buying milk at a cent lower than the market price, you are not making a cent you are mnning a risk. It is almost certain you will get inferior milk. Hunt bargains if you wish, but confine your hunting to department stores, but when you go to the grocery or meat market, don't think you will find bargains, for you will not, and if they are offered you. be very chary about accepting them. It never pays to save money by buying inferior food. CLEVELAND LEADER SEESJEW MERGER Inland Steel Company List ed Again With Proposed ' Youngstown Combine. CLEVELAND.. O., Dec. 23.

"Oh, no. I don't mean that." said Santa quickly. "I'll e every-place, Just as Tisual; but the youngsters will do all the heavy work. .Their sleighs will carry most of the packages. I'll wait on all the roofs and the young chaps will scoot up and down the chimneys with the rifts." The Lights Then Went Out. Just then the Northern Lights went out and It was day. There was an awful commotion in the big harn and all of a sudden the eliding doors rolled back and and out scampered the little Santa Clauses, whooping and yelling and tumbling over one another. "Well." said Santa Claus. Jumping up, "you can easily see I've got my hands full now." And the reporter, realizing that Santa and the litle fellows crowding round him faced a hard day's work, he shook hands with Santa, said good'by to the hopping, skipping little Santas and hurried away. GOODRICH TO WIPE OUT JOBS (Continned from rage One) ent that they were impressed with the talk. It was pointeq out to them tnot the Republicans promised economy and efficiency in their campaign anH that it is up to them to make good on those promises. As a result of the speeches, it is now believed that the house will not have more than thirty-two employes, as against sixty-five with which the Democratic house began its session two years ago, and that the senate will practice the same kind of economy. It was decided at the conference to refuse the proposition of the Democrats, for a division of the patronage and Jobs in the senate. Although there will be twenty-five Democrats and twenty-five Republicans In the senate, the Republicans declare "that they will have a majority, with the vote of Edgar D. Bush, who will be lieutenant governor. Ralph D. Kane, attorney, of this CHjr( and a iujjiiti uiTiuuct v. miv ate, gave the conference a legal opin-j Son on the powers of the lieutenant governor. He said he had examined the law and the constitution and searched out precedents and had concluded that it was not only the power and authority of the lieutenant governor to cast the deciding: vote a all questions before the senate in case of a tie vote but that the state constitution was mandatory and made it his duty to d so. This opinion was adopted as the policy of the Republicans in the senate, and Bush, will cast vk, AofiiMntr vote on all Questions, in cluding the passage of bills, whenever there is a tie. i Full Pound Maraschino Cherries, Chocolates, 33.

-in,' A resolution a adopted stating that the Republicans assurru-d full responsibility for legislation at the session, and that they did not feel that it would be right to divide, or shirk that responsibility by trafficking in appointsmenta or otherwise. What the Democrats will say to thi. decision remains to be seen. State Chairman Hays was instructed to send an answer to the propositions of the Democratic senators. It is said that they are planning some kind of coup to gain control of the senate, but what It is is not yet known. The conference, yesterday. decided to push through the Republican state platform measures as quickly as pos sible after the opening of the session. ! thus clearing the way and ' redeeming j the party promises. On all other! measures the members will be free to j use their own Judgment and preference, but on platform measures caucuses will he held.
