Ory org?“ Business' May Lead Disclosures Here is a clever burlesque that is going the rounds, We do not know where it started, but it contains a lot truth nevertheless: . \A dry goods merchant was start- ing down town when his wife remind» ed him of his most important~ duty during the day. 'Now, my dear, be sure and send to the city for that new radio outfit, so we can have it for Sunday, You know our old vie- trolm is getting so that it is not fit to be heard.\ \Just a few blocks away the mer niture was sitting at breakfast with his family, 'The conversation drifted wround to the near approach of school. 'And@that reminds me, John,' said the lady, who sat at the head of the table, '1 must be going to the city not later than next week. I must get school clothes und see about a sult for myself, and while there perhaps I had better see about the new lace curtains for the front windows.\ \An hour or tw later a leading grocer stepped into the bank to buy a draft which he was going to send to a catalogue house for'a swell bedroom sult. \ 'How's business?\ asked the bank- er. 'Oh, not so very good,\ replied the grocer; 'things are dull just now.\ \Before the banker finished writing the draft a dapper young man with a grip stepped up and asked how every- thing was. The banker seemed glad to see him.. He was a representative of a big printing establishment in an- other state. He and the banker chat, ted pleasantly for a few minutes, af- ter which the young man inquired casually of his friend behind the win- anything, 'Well, yes, replied the fbanker. 'I believe I do. Print ush, drafts, 5,000 checks and a couple thousand letter-heads.' \The young man thanked his friend cordially and hustled out. \That night the local business men had a meeting at the town hall to dis- cuss the growth of the mail order evil, All the gentlemen mentioned in the narrative delivered short talks, They agreed that the farmers were guilty of treason to their home merchants, when they persisted in buying their goods from mail order houses, and the meeting closed by adopting strong re- solutions against trading away from home.\-Des.

Last year Valley Stream very successfully entertained the as- sociation at its annual tournament in which ten thousand persons from all ions of Long Island were present. e fact that the tournament was 1d on the south shore last year it is d may interfere with East Rock- way's plans as several north shore vil- Tages would like to entertain the fire- mea as their guests. If East Rockaway is Tortunate en- to have the Nassau County As- jon designate the village for its annual contest it will be the first time in the history of the village. Practic- ally every village in the county has in the past entertained the firemen in the-annual firemanic events. In June, the City of Long Beach will be the mustering point for the three days convention and toumna- ment of the Southern New York As- sociation when volunteers from all o that had been marked and asked Bla-| parts of the state will be present.
