DON'T 8AY ANYTHING MEAN
| Candidates are sometiitaeg pron
* i to 8dy mean cutting things abou
- I each other,- and excuse tbcmselve
' by thinking. MIt's cnJy political talk
but harsh words are easily spokei
' but hrod to forge!. With a city elee
tlon Just around the corner; It I
i w ;se for the candidates to stop ant
consider before they say something
. detrimental to another's cbaraotor
which might cost a friend. And i
true fi^end Is worth more than win
n'ng any election.
NOT SO DUMB
Orover Cleveland Bergtkll It com

We think Mr. P err doll in eomlni
that he wa? net no dumb by evadinj
war In 1!?I7 to make the world 'tart
for democracy." Musslflnt and Hl'le
have proven tha' the "war to mi

WHY PAY IN THE DARK?
So one would be so foolish as t
choose a pitch dark rcom In whlcl
to compute monthly- blll? for rent
clothing. fuel and food, and to noun
the necessary luoney due on ?nch.
' Yet the Average consumer Is mad
to do something just as foOUsh b
paying taxes. In the dark ? tnxe
that cannot be seen because the
t. pre concealed In the purchase s prlc
hf every necessity. A competent. et
tsrnate Is. that 63 percent of alt taxe
