A Good Example - !
President Goolidge does not do all I
of his talking about economy with j
his mouth.
Ordinarily the President uses a j
special1 train whenever he takes a- long '
trip. He is provided with a traveling ]
expense fund of $25,000 a year for j
such purposes.
President took a trip to Chicago I
and traveled on an ordinary train—
not even with a special car.
By such measures he hopes to be
able to turn back in the treasury a
considerable part of the $25,000.
This thrifty New England executive
is not going to ask the rest of the
people to do all the economizing. Ex-
ample always carries a bigger wallop
than precept.

Quit Pinching
Exasperated beyond endurance, an
Italian fruit vendor was much annoy-
ed by prospects and customers pinch-
ing the peaches and the pears and
thereby spoiling the fruit. Finally
he painted this sign:

WHO WAS THE JOKE ON?
During the term of office of our late

to spending his vacation with Thomas
Edison, Henry Ford, Mr. Firestone, of
the Firestone Tire Co., and Mr. Bur-

| camping trips, they left their own
| camp for. a day's fishing at a nearby
! lake, making the trip in an old Ford
car, the property of Mr. Firestone.
In their old clothes and the condition
of the car, they resembled nothing
less than a party of famous million-
aires
Pas. ing through a small town, a tire
blew out right in front of the local [
garage. Getting out, Mr. Firestone
| went into the garage and inquired of
the man in charge if he had a Fire-
; stone tire of Ford size. After some
! search they managed to unearth one, 1
and the medianic started to roll it
out- when Mr. Firestone stopped him.
“I will have to give yo ua check for
the tire. We are on a fishing trip
and I do not have enough money.
In order that you may be perfectly
easy about accepting it, I will tell
you that I am Mr. Firestone, and own
the company that makes the tire you
have there.”
The man- accepted the check and
then proceeded to change the tires.
When he. ahd finished Mr. Firestone
spoke to him. “I would like to have
you meet these gentlemen here with
im-.-
L.'i ving his tools on the ground, the
mechanic straightened up and assured
i Mr. Firestone that he would be “pleas-
! fd to meet them.’’
I Mr. Firestone then introduced them,
commencing with Mr. Ford.
! “This gentleman is Mr. Henry
j Ford, the man who made the car we
| are riding in.”
j The mechanic’s eyes widened a bit!
and he nmrmdred he was “pleased to
meet him.”
“And this is Mr. Edison, our elec-
trical 'wizard- whom I am sure you
have often heard of.”
Again the mechanic was “pleased to ■
meet him ’’ j
“And here we have Mr. Harding, j
the President of our United States.” i
Instead of replying to this, the man j
leaned oyer and picked up the ham-
mer he bad used in replacing the tire.
Straightening up. he held it aloft.
“Hold on.” be said, “hold on there.
Next you are going to tell"me this!
