"I've been eating at your cafe erias in A'lanta. Charlotte. Knox ille and other places for a num ?er of years." he continued. "I hope you've enjoyed your aeals." said Paul. "Yes, indeed. By the way; how nany people can you accommodate lere?" "Aproximately six hundred." said 'aul. "That is if you include the tanquet'ball and the private din ng rooms." "I used to be in the restaurant business myself down in Atlanta >nd I believe I've met you down here. My name is Farwell." "Oh, yes. certainly! My name is /ecker." They shook hands. "It must be quite a job to look fter as many places as you've got. T don't see how you do it. By the vay, I was trying to think of the name of your manager in Knox vllle. Let's see; what is his name?" An expression of slight constern ation flitted across Mr. Vecker's countenance. "You mean Harri ?on?" he inquired. , "No. it isn't Harrison," said Mr. Farwell. "Oh!" exclaimed Paul. "I know whom you mean; but he isn't there any longer. He was inducted into the army about six weeks ago." "Into the army! Why good heav ens, he must be around sixty years old!" This time the expression of con sternation was much more in evi dence. Mr. Vecker looked slightly befuddled. "Well, you see." he began, "he was a major in the last war. so he I applied for special duty and they i gave it to him. He's really in excel-' ent physical condition." "And what did you say his name is?" inquired Mr. Farwell. "I was just trying to think I'm the worst person in the world to -emcmber names. Sometimes I for- ? get the names of some ot my clos est relatives. It's a great affliction." "It must be," agreed the other. "Well, I'm glad to have had the opportunity of meeting you ... I wait a minute; I've just recalled the name of that fellow in Knoxville; it's Jim Phillips." "That's right!" agreed Paul heartily. "Good old Jim; I feel! ashamed of myself that 1 couldn't think of his name. He's an awfully 1 nice fellow, and we were certainly sorry to lose him." "No. I'm wrong. Phillips lives in Chattanooga. The guy in Knoxville had some other name." Paul was beginning to get wor ried. He didn't know what was go ing to happen next. "Well," said Mr. Farwell. "I'm very glad to have met .you. I rep resent the United Kitchen Supply Company out of Atlanta, and I'd like to have a few minutes of your time later on today. When would it be convenient for me to see you?" "Let's see," said Paul. "I'm go ing to be pretty busy this after noon,'' "Oh, any time will suit me," said Mr. Farwell. "Suppose we make it at 3:30," said Paul. "Suits me fine," said the other, "pood bye." "Goodbye," said Paul, mopping his brow with his handkerchief. The man went out through the j front door; Mr. Canady came In at i about the same moment, and the three of us went down the line and got our lunch. "I wonder what's going to hap pen at 3:30." mused Paul. I wondered, too, but so far have been unable to find out. P. S. I didn't have to pay for his lunch; it took us exactly nine min utes to get served.

I weave into | the warp of the past, the -voof of the future. I tell the stories of | peace and of wark alike. I make the human heart beat with passion of tenderness. I stir the pulse of nations, and make brave men do braver deeds and soldiers die. I inspire the midnight toiler, weary at his loom, to lift his head again and gaze, with fearlessness, into the vast beyond, seeking the consolation of a hope eternal. When 1 speak a myriad people listen to my voice. The Anglo Saxon. the Celt, the Hun. the Slav, the Hindu, all comprehend me. I am the tireless clarion of the news. I cry your Joys and sorrows every hour. I All the dullard's mind with thought up lifting.

We are sincerely sorry, and wish we hud supplied our selves with enough for all. We had thousands of favors, but even at that, the supply was soon exhausted. We deeply appreciate the wonderful response to the formal opening of our new and modern plant. You began coming to see us at two o'clock, and hundreds were here at nine, and we were mighty happy to have each and everyone. There were times-when I could not possibly get around and shake hands with each individual, but it was because of the physical impossibility and not because I did not want to greet you in person. \ We also are appreciative of the part the WTHS Band had in making our formal opening such a suc cess. The parade and music by them was excellent, and certainly enjoyed by the large throngs during the evening. We are proud of our new home, and want you to come and see us just any time. SEE OUR BIG ?
