Hospital buyers ordinarily pur-
chase mattresses with an. 8 ounce
ticking, which means that a yard
of ticking 32 inches wide weighs 8
ounces. Home economics, too, urge
consumers to insist on at least 8
ounce ticking, either when making
or buying mattresses.

Why Go To School
Why do you go to school? If you
have gotten any such idea as that
you are going to school so you can
make a living without having to
work, get that out of your head
right now. We go to school to learn.
It is a place to learn how to work
For many years too many of our
boys and girls wrere encouraged to
go on to school just to get a “white
collar job” or so they might “make perested in in the seventh grade?
more money.” Now as they get older
they realize that these “white col-
lar” jobs and merely “making mon-
ey” are not nearly so fine as they
were pictures.
We can always be sure that the
world still needs all the trained
minds and hands it can get. We can
also be sure that the person who has
the strength and clear-thinking that
come from plain hard work in school
and the person who knows how to
live a happy life, and not to make
money alone, and who knows how
to work for others, and not for him-
self alone, is more likely to receive
the financial rewards as well.
In order to meet out-of-town
cut-rate cleaners, we are re-
ducing our prices as follows:

A Man Is The Product of
His Friends
Choosing your friends is choosing
your standard. By deciding upon
them, you have in fact admitted
the choice of a standard in which
you belong or hope to attain.
A progressive man does not choose
unprogressive companions. One of
clean thoughts does not choose a
companion of base thoughts.
You may be capable of doing your
own thinking, but the process by
which you think depends upon the
material at your command, and this
comes from those around you. No
man is better than his friends, for
sooner or later, if they would remain
his friends, their standard of right
or wrong must agree. Their ideas
and ideals must be in harmony.
They must have habits in common.
The choosing of friends of high
ideals is the first step for the reach-
ing of high ideals. Cultivating
friends worthwhile helps us to de-
velop a life worthwhile. A desire to
know men of accomplishment will
help us to become men of accom-
plishment.
We each give some quality in ex-
change for one we acquire. This
process of equalizing soon sets us
a standard of common Interest and
belief "A man is the product of his ’
friends”
