Politeness usually pays off,
always say. You may be a diamond
in the rough and extremely valu-
able. but if you don't mind your
manners people are just as liable
as not to think you're a very small
pebble and heave you out on your
ear. So I think it is the duty of
young boys and girls just starting
out in life, to learn to be polite, and
not go around kicking stray dogs
and sticking pins in little babies.
My own manners are kinds av-
erage. I mean, I wouldn't kick a
dog unless he got in my way, and
especially if he wuz a real big
hungry-looking brute like some of
the ones I sneak past up in my
neighborhood. I hardly ever eat
peas with a knife, mostly because
they always roll off and are very
hard to spot on our checkered
tile floor. And since I've gotten
married I hardly ever yell down
to the far end of the table "Shoot
the spuds up!" But even so, may-
be I could stand a little jackin '= up
in the manners' department. Any-
how, when I got this letter in the
mail about a month ago from a
company advertising a book on
etiquette, my sales resistance was
pretty low and I kept right on
reading. Especially since they had
been reading their own book and
were real polite about it; suggest-
ing in a nice way of course, that
maybe if I wasn't as I wanted to
be, it was because I made a fox-
pass occasionally. Like using other
people's toothbrushes, laughing in
a loud and boorish manner at holes
in folk's clothing, or flicking my
cigarette ashes in my neighbors's
pants cuff. and so forth•
hwk
So I signed the card and in a few
days along came the book. It was a
very nice book, I think, but about
that time my aunt Rosamond took
off for the Democratic convention
in Chicago and there was more
action around here than Marilyn
Monroe walking up a very long
staircase. Most of my spare time
was spent kicking the linotype and
saying mean things to a big ugly-
looking newspaper press. Anyhow,
I didn't get a chance to look at the
book and see if I wanted to send
it back or not. My experience has
been in the past though, that no
matter how fast you shoot it back
to them companies, 'the ten.day
trial period just expired" and ya
wind up keeping the whatchama-
callit. Well. pretty soon I got a
statement from the publishers and
they wanted I should send them
$5.09 for the book. But by that time
one of my kids had busted a front
window in the house, a neighbor's
dog had swallowed my last $10
bill, and the missus read about a
big sale on peanut butter at a local
grocery store, so you can see I had
a lotta things on my mind. A little
later another bill came, but I was
so darn busy fixing windows, fol-
lowing that dog around, and car-
fling home peanut butter for the
ittle woman that I didn't have any
e monkey around with un-
important things like paying for
books on etiquette.
hwk
Well, things went on like that
for awhile, and letters and bills
were coming thick and fast. It got
to be such a doggone nuisance that
finally I read one of them, and ya
know it made me kind of half sore
at 'era, because they were starting
to tell me all the things that would
happen to me if I didn't settle up
pronto with $5.09. About that time
my aunt Rosamond came back and
she let me see her expense account.
Right then I felt a little ashamed
and figured I had no excuse for
not paying for the book. So I did.
hwk
But I guess the publishers had
got so in the habit of writing that
they couldn't stop, and by that
e they had invited in a collect-
ion agency to help take care of
their correspondence. This agency
has a name so long that I ain't
even gomaa' bother you with it, but
it was founded to preserve stabil-
ity, arre abtmes, and aid in pun-
ishments of violations. It said so
right on the letterhead. The letter
said they'd ive me exactly I0 days
to square up for that book, and
that I didn have to bother sending
the book back ither, because it
wouldn't do me arty good. They
went on to say that ! needn't try
and tell them I wu laeoke, out of
work or ill. They Mmp .

It was serious! Pol-

just what to do• I'd check that et-
iquette book and find out how to
write Mr. Casey, no Mr. Murphy,
for surely a book that cost $5.09
I ought to tell what to do in such an
emergency. It had to be polite, but
not servile if you know what I
mean. Dignified. yet friendly, with
a touch of mild sorrow that I
should be so misunderstood, and
yet firm. So I wrote•
hwk
But to make a long story short,
I got a letter yesterday from my
pen pal Hogan, er Murphy telling
me that his company had received
my August 14th letter and that its
contents had wiped away all mis-
understandings. Well I sure felt
awful good about that and was
really grateful to old chapter 12 for
geiting me out of that jam. But
after a few seconds a suspicious
thought flitted through my mind.
and sure enuff, the gouldurn letter
that Dooley, no Murphy was so
pleased to get was my check for
$5.09. Not the, gentlemanly letter
that I had written them. Apparently
that publishing outfit is nothing
but downright plain hypocrites, for
what they was interested in. wasn't
my good manners but the money
I've earned during the years I've
lived as a normal slob. Well,
its too late to do anything now and
about the only thing that etiquette
book can be used for is to park the
youngest kid on at the dinner table.
As for me. I'm gonna' start eating
my peas with a knife again, only
I'll fool that Murphyrll mix 'em
with mashed potatoes so I don't
have to be picking them out of my
shirt pockets or pants cuffs.

This column so far has never
spouted poetry mostly because the
writer is probably the poorest
judge of poetry living. On one oc-
casion I bravely ventured the
opinion that Robert W. Service was
my favorite poet and "The Shoot-
ing of Dan McGrew" my favorite
poem. All present smiled sadly,
shook their heads gently and eyed
me pityingly. I never felt more out-
of-place in my life. unless it was
the time somebody forgot to lock
the door on a steam room in the
Minneapolis YWCA. But when
some humorous person, with ob-
vious good taste, stuck this on my
spindle while I was having coffee
Monday morning, I figured that it
was too good to get thrown away
by some uneducated water drinker.

roach of fall also means that many
organizations take up their pro-

inactive summer, families return
from vacations and settle down to
work again and preparations for fall
activities begins.
Among the organizations begin-
ning a new year in the fall are the
4-H and Homemaker clubs. Their
club year begins October 1. For
anyone who is interested in joining
or organizing a 4-H or Homemaker
cluh in your community there are
only a few requirements necessary
to organize a club.
To organize a Homemakers club
gather together ten or more women
who are interested in studying and
receiving practical and recent in-
formation on phases of homemaking.
Contact your Home Extension
Agent who will explain' club work
and help organize the group.
Homemaker club members must
be willing to share the responsibil-
ity of holding an office in their
also important that the parents
support their club work as the pro-
jects will require their help and co-
operation.
In addition to the project work,
club members receive many other
opportunities belonging to a 4-H
club. They have a chance to work
and play with other boys and girls
of their age. Members have the op-
portunity to participate in County
4-H events such as camp, achieve-
ment day, demonstration and judg-
ing contest, 4-H talent program and
other events. Older members with
good club records are awarded
many state and national trips and
other awards•
If there are parents, young peo-
ple and leaders who are interested
in organizing a 4-H club contact the
county or Home Agent and arrange
for the first meeting. Now is the
time to organize a 4-H club.

The key to continued prosperity, it has been pointed out, depen
a sound increase in the quantity of goods produced each year W itl#lt
this steady increase, the economy can not keep up with th; natiO'
growing population and its expanding needs• However in the hhr#
i::rs;f:he Eisenhower Administration, the average increase in p rO;
' g cls and services has been about 3 per cent--less than half
it was under the Democrats. This reduced rate of growth, if allowed
continue, can have serious consequences, for economists agree that $ ]
per cent growth is not enough to match the country's mounting need
Part of the slippage can be traced to the laree number of the b"
nesses which have failed since the Eisenhower " Nixon Administrsti#
took office. Figures compiled by the financial re ortin " e Dtt $
p _ servlc ,
radstreet. show that while the number of business failures in 1947 "
only 3,474, there were 11,000 in 1954, and at least that many in the
called "boom" year of 1955. The failure rate has doubled between
last 10 Democratic years and the first three Republican years A cor,
account of GOP business failures must include no only those
folded uu, but those which were never born One of the clearest sig
the real strength of the economy during the Truman Administration .
the fact that more than 50,000 bmdneekes were started each year. I/l
Ike• the number has dropped to an average of about 6,500"a year.
The situation has grown so serious, in fact that the Commerce I..l
ment has issued the somber finding that a business starting up no--
about a 50-50 chance of lasting two years and that four out of five '
die within 10 years.
Republican speechmakers, in painting their glowing picture of t,
perity, will also avoid mentioning that the economic gains have
heavily weighted in favor of the big business segment of our econOl.
Since 1952, the 'take-home pay" (profits after taxes) of eorpOrati˘.
has risen 36 per cent, @hile the average person's take-home pay has C
up only nine per cent. And in the same period, while farm income
ed 27 per cent, the income of corporation ,stockholders rose hY sw
that amount• In fact, in the last half of 1955, corporation sharehOl__
received more income from dividends than all of the farmers in I

The key to continued prosperity, it has been pointed out, depen
a sound increase in the quantity of goods produced each year W itl#lt
this steady increase, the economy can not keep up with th; natiO'
growing population and its expanding needs• However in the hhr#
i::rs;f:he Eisenhower Administration, the average increase in p rO;
' g cls and services has been about 3 per cent--less than half
it was under the Democrats. This reduced rate of growth, if allowed
continue, can have serious consequences, for economists agree that $ ]
per cent growth is not enough to match the country's mounting need
Part of the slippage can be traced to the laree number of the b"
nesses which have failed since the Eisenhower " Nixon Administrsti#
took office. Figures compiled by the financial re ortin " e Dtt $
p _ servlc ,
radstreet. show that while the number of business failures in 1947 "
only 3,474, there were 11,000 in 1954, and at least that many in the
called "boom" year of 1955. The failure rate has doubled between
last 10 Democratic years and the first three Republican years A cor,
account of GOP business failures must include no only those
folded uu, but those which were never born One of the clearest sig
the real strength of the economy during the Truman Administration .
the fact that more than 50,000 bmdneekes were started each year. I/l
Ike• the number has dropped to an average of about 6,500"a year.
The situation has grown so serious, in fact that the Commerce I..l
ment has issued the somber finding that a business starting up no--
about a 50-50 chance of lasting two years and that four out of five '
die within 10 years.
Republican speechmakers, in painting their glowing picture of t,
perity, will also avoid mentioning that the economic gains have
heavily weighted in favor of the big business segment of our econOl.
Since 1952, the 'take-home pay" (profits after taxes) of eorpOrati˘.
has risen 36 per cent, @hile the average person's take-home pay has C
up only nine per cent. And in the same period, while farm income
ed 27 per cent, the income of corporation ,stockholders rose hY sw
that amount• In fact, in the last half of 1955, corporation sharehOl__
received more income from dividends than all of the farmers in I
country received from faming.
This lopsided prosperity zs no economic alt of
..... " quirk. It is the re !.
conscious Administration policies which put the interests of big b O#
ahead of the interest of small business, farmers and workin - people,
the theory that sooner or later, big business nroe tvwi]]n v " v "]] triekl" e d0#
to the rest of the economy. Of course whether thPeyrixa;; itor not,
approach subordinates the consumer is tl
• " , whose ability to buy good L
real generator of lasting prosperity. You may recall that this trie
down method was the one that Cooli the "
dge tried, and i produced
evitable results. --ttWK
