Coral Reefs and Barnacles
The coral and the barnacle are ceusiqs of the deep. They
have the same shell formation. They live in the same way. Yet
t e coral reef is the basis of new land and new life, while the
barnacle is a parasite which fastens itself to other life and slowly
destroys it. ° 7
The business world is made up of cpral reefs and barnacles.
The one ,s equally useful, the other equally dangerous. And in
the business world the barnacle imitates the coral as closely as*
possible. • o
Every town has its coral reefs and its. barnacles side by side. >
In one block you will find a thriving business, with clean stocks
of merchandise. Next door, you will find the barnacle;clinging to
the side of the street, feeding off the life that the coral reef has
made, supplying nothing new to society, taking everything from it.
In one place you will find the active merchant, buying goods
with care, seeing that his custom is given the best that can be had,
acting as your agent, watching for opportunities for‘you and ad-
vertisihg those opportunities to you when they are found.
Next to him you will find the parasite, buying everything he
can as cheap as he can, selling everything he can as dear as he
can, premising everything, vouching for nothing-merelv a useless
tfernacle on the ship’s side.
To which are you going to trust the little argosy in your pock-
etbook? Where are you going to buy the things you are planning
for uow?
The active merchant, the coral reef of society, the solid, sub-
stantial, reliable man, is sending his message to you through this
paper. He is your representative. He has been watching out for
your interests. And he will watch out for your interests even
ofter your money is in his safe. He is the builder, the leader, the
reliable member of our business world. He may have a small
j store or a large store, but he is in business because he has some
service to render you and he is advertising himself in this paper
[as his guaranty of good faith,
Then, of course, there is the barnacle—but why go further?
[The advertising in this paper will tell you who are the live ones
land where to go.
Anyone would rather anchor to a coral reef than have a barn-
lacle fasten itself to him.—-J. R. Hamilton.

Timely Warning
In about two months experts
agree that this state as well as
every other part of the Union
will be again under the influence
of the influenza which scourgec}
the country last fall.
From now until the influenza
comes it behooves every citizen |
to guard himself as far as possi-
ble. There are many ways in
which the individual can help I
keep this epidemic as light
possible.
Personal hygiene is best of all.
Keep your body, your teeth, all
parts of you clean as possible.
Keep your clothing fresh and |
clean. If you are ill consult a
doctor at once. Don’t let any-
thing go too far. Don’t be in a |
weakened condition when the
flu germs get into the air.
Make it a determination with

Eat lightly and well balanced
foods. Keep yourself in spic-
and span condition and keep
your home, grounds, streets and
city in the same shape. These
may be just the things that will
save your life this fall or winter.
