A Hopeful Business Greeting. 
Of the many business announce- 
ments that reach this office at holiday 
time, for beauty we assign first honor 
to a calendar issued by The Stamford 
Lumber Company, Stamford, Connecti- 
cut. This calendar is peculiarly appro- 
priate to ArcAdiA as it brings an effec- 
tive reproduction of an original paint- 
ing by Thomas Moran entitled ‘In the 
Valley of Happy Days.” The bit of 
sentiment especially appreciated is the 
following : 
“We all dream of a happy valley. We 
all plan to go there some sweet day. 
It’s a valley where peace and plenty 
abound, where skies are softly bright 
and pleasant waters flow through 
shaded banks, where good friends and 
kindly neighbors dwell.” 
From a somewhat different aspect 
but not peculiarly ARcAmAn, yet with 
the sweetness of honey, comes this 
hopeful announcement from the A. I. 
Root Company, Medina, Ohio: 
“It isn’t the best of times. You know 
it and we know it. But — 
“Times are going to be better. 
“We live under the best flag in all 
the world, where law and order pre- 
vail. There is more than a plenty of 
food and raiment in this land of ours, 
thank God. 
“So let’s wish each other a Merry 
Christmas and Happy New Year, keep 
sand in our gizzards, and march into 
the new year whistling. 
“It’s going to be a good beekeeper’s 
year.” 
“Me and the Prince.” 
The secretary of King George tells 
an amusing story in a British weekly 
about one of His Majesty’s body ser- 
vants. The servant was explaining to 
the secretary an incident that had re- 
cently taken place. 
“Me and the prince ” he began. 
when the King’s secretary stopped him. 
“You should say ‘the prince and I,’ ” 
he observed. 
The man gazed at him for a moment 
and then replied : 
“I beg your pardon, sir, but I did not 
know you were there at all. However, 
‘you and me and the prince ’ ” —
