Finding him.self for the moment short of cash he went to the Ea.-;t Side branch of one of the large banks. It was the first time in his entire business career that he had found it necessary to borrow extensively. He explained his position to the manager, who knew of his success, and ashed for a loan of fifty thousand dollars. “I’ll be very glad to accommodate you, Mr. Rabin,” said the banker. “Just sit down there at that desk and make out a note for the amount.” The caller smiled an embarrassed smile. “If you please,” he said, “you should be so good as to m%ke out the note and then I should sign it.” “What’s the idea?” inquired the bank managtr puzzled. “Veil, you see,” he confessed, “I haf to tell you somethings: Myself, I cannot read and write. My v/ife she has taught me how to make my own name on paper, but otherwi.se vnth me reading and writing is nix.” In amazement the banker stared at him. “Well, well, well!” he murmured admiringly. “And yet, handi* capped as you’ve been, inside of a few years you have become a rich man! I wonder wtiat you’d have been in this country by now if only you had been able to read and write?” “A shammos,” said Mr. Rabin modestly. (American Newt Fe«tatea.

However, I d> favor taking it off the necessities of life at once and I believe that the State, with the h.lp of a committee of merchants, can wotk out a plan to make the sales tax less irritating and objection-1 able and devise a new method of j levying it which will make it much | easier for cu.stomers and merchants' alike.” The candidate als> proposed that since the ,‘?tate was already bearing the whole burden of the school sys tem they should logically go a step further and futnish all books to the students; which, it seems, would have admirable results in many ways.
