OUR CREED
"I take no thought of my neighbor's
birth,
Or the way he makes his prayer;
I grant him a white man's place on
earth,
If his game is on the square:
If he playes straight, I'll call him
mate;
If he cheats, I'll drop him flat;
All rank but this is a worn out lie,
For each clean man is as good as I,
And a king is no more than that."

How Doctors Treat
Colds and Coughs
To break up a cold overnight and re-
lieve the congestion that makes you
cough, thousands of physicians are now
recommending Calotabs, the nausealesa
calomel compound tablets that give you
the effects of calomel and salts without
the unpleasant effects of either.
One or two Calotabs at bedtime with a
glass of sweet milk or water. Next morn- j
ing your cold has vanished, your system!
is thoroughly purified and you arc feeling
fine with a hearty appetite for breakfast.
Eat what you wish,—no danger. t |
Calotabs are sold in 10c and 35c pack-
ages at drug stores. (Adv);
with an important official of the
government who knows Mr. Johnson.
He told me that General Johnson's
best helper is his good wifg, that she
knows as much about this whole thing
as the General does, that she is work
dng just as hard in trying to get the
things straightened out as the Gener-
al is, and that she is working just as
intelligently and effectively. I sus-
pect that General Johnson, like most
other men who really do big things
in this world, owes a great deal of
his success to that good wife. Instead
of growling about too much Johnson
I wish we had forty more just like
'em. Good women are generally an

worthwhile activity and man in this

Washington D. C. Aug. 11 To
my million and more readers; One of
the now word coined as a result of
the NRA effort is chiseler, A chisel-
er is one who seeks to take selfish ad
vantage of the present nation wide
drive against depression and
grab something for his own greedy
self which belongs to somebody else.
For instance, I had lunch two or
three days ago with a man who is in
the trucking business in a large way.
I don't mean that he raises garden
truck for the market. Instead he has
trucks in one of the big cities for
hauling things. He signed up the
NRA blanket code. A very big item
of expense in his business is labor.
This blanket code means shorter
hours, more helpers and probably
higher wages in some instances for
him. Anyhow, the net result is an in-
crease in his expense of about 25
per cent.
One of his competitors has not yet
signed up this code but is sneakinpr
in under the old scheme of long hours
and low wages, to take advantage ol
my friend. This scamp is a chiseler.
There is just one thing each of
us ought to do at this particular time
and that is forget about our own
selves and our own selfish interests
just as much as we possibly can, and
join the big army in the nation's for-
ward march which is on so superbly
today under the leadership of Pre-
sident Roosevelt and General John-
son. This is no time for holding back
or for fault finding or for doing any
thing else except to get right in line
and pull. Complete team work will
put Old Man Depression on the run.
General Johnson has a gigantic job
ahead of him. One of the biggest
and probably an impossible one for
him to accomplish up to the 100 per
cent mark, is to keep the big fellow
from getting in "their work so that
they can gobble up the little fellows
in these code arrangements.
Here is the Standar Oil crowd.
They are bitterly opposed to the idea
of price fixing in oil, saying it is un-
American and all that. The fact is
if I am informed correectly and I
think I am, that the independent oil
fellows have their very lives at the
stake in this thing. Unless the price,
of oil is fixed some way, the Stand-
ard and the other big and heartless;
groups will put the little fellow en-
tirely out of business.
Anoher way they work it is to pro-
vide, as they do in their proposed
code, that every steel manufacturer
must file his card of prices with the
secretary of the association at least
ten days before these prices go into
effct, and if they make any changes
they must give like notice ten days
before such cahnges go into effect.
In other words, the big fellows will
know exactly what the little fellow
are doing all the time.
Another thing, the big fellows se-
lect, practically, the members of the
Board which hear the grievances.

JOHN BOX OF RUSK TO
GET SHARE OF N. Y. ESTATE
In an article from a New York
paper there is a notice of the
death of Edwin St. Clair Thompson,
I feey very intensely about this
thing. I don't beleive in the boycott,
but just the same I don't intend to,
knowingly buy any goods or hire any
services from an outsider, man or
corporation, who has not signed up
and who is not now working under
the Blue Eagle, if he ought to be
signed up.
Another thing, I don't intend to
critize or fault find with the good
people, men and women, who are
making sacrifices and doing heir best
in this great work. For instance, Gen-
eral Johnson is at the head of this
national recovery movement The pa-
pers a few days ago told about his
boy helping in the office. This morn-
ings papers gave a picture of his wife
helping him, in charge of investigat
I have been working on some of
these proposed codes One is the steel
code, in which I am representing a
comparativly small corporation. They
make a ertain line of steel goods.
The big fellows have incorporated
in the code that for this particular
line of steel goods they shall have
the privilege of selling on consign-
ment. This means they can sell to
jobbers and to the little dealers
without having these jobbers and
little dealers .invest any of their cap-
ital, paying for goods only when
sold. The small steel men, with limit-
ed capital, obviously cannot meet
such competition because they must
make outright sales and get their
money for their goods within the
usual thirty day time limit. This is
just one little instance of the way
the big fellows are scheming and
Aiv you a chiseler? A vigorous Am-
erican was in my office one flay this
week and he said we were a nation
of chiselers. He said instead of car-
rying muskets, we ought to march
with chisels on our choulders. \\ hi'.e
he was speaking in a very exaggerat-
ed way, yet I am afraid there is
entirely too much truth in what he
was saying. Too many of us are

advantage that we step on the other
fellow.
ing complaints about these very chlse
lers. I met a man during the forenoon
who I have been trying to help get
an important job. About the first
thing he paid to me in a kind of
sneering way was, Aren't we getting
too much Johnson.
Mind you, these are things incor-
porated in the proposed code which
the big steel fellows have submitted
and I am going to do my best, of
course, to proitect my client, who is
one of the little fellows, but I don't
know whether I can succeed in it or
not. Sometimes it looks to me like
these big fat boys are the super gov-
ernment and are smart enough to
scheme around to keep in control in
most instances in spite of President
Roosevelt and all the other fine fel-
lows working with him in their effort
to give the people not only a New
Deal but-also a Square Deal.
When I think of the big fellow and
the little fellow lying down together
I am always fearful it is going to be
l'ke the fox and the chicken lying
down together—the chicken inside
the fox. These big fellows have got
to be watched every second, and I
don't know whether General and
Mrs. Johnson and all the little John-j
sons and all the others who are play-1
ing the <?ame unselfishly can keep
them straight.
