Nobody's Business By CJEE Md.’EE Ups- And Dow ns Speaking ot our present schedtllr of telephone rates and iniscellan cons charges for services rendered and not rendered- did you ever hear of the old woman and her string oi heads? Well, I have never heard oi them either. Next to wives and automobiles, the telephone is the most useful and necessary adjunct to business In the world. but their rates mid debit schemes are so vexatious and ex pensive. It. seems that lots of (oiks who are able to pay for telephone are having them taken out and are thus boy-cot.ting the company. The telephone folks think that the de pression Is the cause of their loss of phonea. I am not familiar with all tele phone charges, but If you have n phone put in your house, you have to pay for having It Installed—as I could talk at, all without having it Installed, but that alnt but about 3 dollars. Later on. If you want It moved to a new location 10 Inches more or less, from Its original loca tion. you must cough up from 1 to 8 dollars. If ym call Bill Jones and you “I Never Gargle for Sore Throat « "Now, I Just tak* a swallow of •niojdne, and In 15 minutes all the soreness Is gone.

If a laborer gets low wages. |.hei wants low rents, low gas, low | street car fares and low bread. If a ! merchant can't make any profit, he doesn't want to pay high prices for his insurance, trurk repairs and electric lights. Folks don’t understand what it is that holds many necessities of life up while other necessities—that they grow and make—are not worth the water that it took to produce them I aint saying that railroads and power plants and telephone rates and a few other rates are too high but I do say that they are so high the public can't afford to pay them, and that’s why they aint doing more business with one another. As for me and my house—it smelts like I am on the way back to kerosene lamps, a well in the backyard, bicy cle, or walking stick, wood cooking stove, mule-back freight traffic, eat ing uncooked food, unless my own family cooks It, and talking through my hat—Instead of via telephone.

Miens Of The Times When the Literary Digest Is thin, time# are hard; when It Is setnt thin, conditions are Improving, and when It Is thick, times are normal and folks, are advertising as usual. When politicians conduct a "cut the budget reduce expenses" cam paign, get ready for htglier taxes. This is a sure sign of burdens un heard of before. (It took me 40 years to find out for whom politi cians work, viz: themselves and kinfolks, of,course). When a man buys a bunch of groceries or borrows 9. dollar from you with a-positive promise that, "I will pay you next week" you might as well give him a receipt along with the stuff If he Is trading with you on credit, and suddenly stops trying to "few" you down on your prices, he Is getting ready to Jump his bills. Good payers always ask what merchandise ts “worth before It is wrapped up. When a man eats every third or fourth meal down town, you just put it on the front leaf of your note book that his wife is a good bridge player, or that his mother-in-law is spending a few days at hts house, or he Is tired of spinach or his gas ha# been cut off, or his family ha. gone south for the winter or north for the summer---or probably he bought stocks on margin In 1930 and lost his home. When you neighbor begins to count his wealth in equities, "In this nnd that," he's broke, as there ain't any such animals a# ‘equities’ any more. A second mortgage aint 'worth the Interest on a dime for 2 minutes. And when preferred goes to 20 and common goes to 10, they are then In a class with European war debts. When your friend Brown walks up and says: "Hey, there, Bill. You’re tine this morning. That suit you have on is a dandy, and your tie matches it to a tin whistle. Old boy. I wish X had the brains you’ve got.” He is getting ready to ’touch’ you for a 5 or 10 or 20. or -rhat have you? The only good thing about such ‘‘touches’’ is: the toucher rare ly tries to touch in the same place. Moral: Pay him off and get rid of him for life. When your nose itches trouble is lust ahead. When your nose doesn’t itch, trouble is just ahead. If a black eat runs across the street In front of you, that is a sure sign that she’s trying to get on the other side. If you walk under a ladder you are going to have n misfortune but if you walk around it, you will like wise have some misfortunes. I be 1‘eye in signs, that is, most highway signs, but that's gU.
