Dominion's revenue shows an in-
crease of $825,224 'as compared

In a certain town in Kentucky
they inaugurated a "T'al e titeb^el:
Day" on which everybody. return-
ed borrowed articles to their right
ful owners. 11 is said there was
lots Of fun over it but outside of
this there was a sound principle
involved. Many a person is. a
good borrower but a wretch; d y
'bad hard at`reutrning. The tor -
mer act might be a great pleasure
to the lender but when the article
stays away weeks and months at d
comes home in a! most disreputatle
condition there is plenty of
cause for a very severe "pain?'
Now just while your memory has
been refreshed, how many things
would you have to carry if a "Take
Ft -hack. Day" were established in
your community? If no such day
exists you had better be a Com-
mittee 05 one to return the bor-
