Pittsboro, Wild deer on Long Island ate ; enough of a five-ton truck load of cauliflower, sunk to the hubs in the soft marshland, to spoil the sale of it. Motorists read a big sign at the en trance to Peekskill, New York, “This I is Peekskill, a Friendly Town.” Traf- I sic officers are instructed to be cour teous at all times. i Men swimming in the surf on large icebergs find the water has a tem perature of seventy-two degrees, ev en close to the berg, for the water in contact sinks as fast as it cools. A honeybee’s work consumes about half the hours of daylight, the remain ing hours of the twenty-four being spent in rest, according to tests made i by the United States Department of Agriculture. Eels packed together in pipes of the city water system of New Lon don, Conneticutt, shut off the water in many parts of the city. Fire plugs | were flushed and thousands of young eels flooded the ground. The “airveyor is a pipe line sys tem which conveys grain from an ele an open view in every direction, make for safer driving and greater motor ing enjoyment. At $590, this is the lowest priced Sedan ever placed on the American market. It is a car of broad appeal and compelling value. _ .. _ . vator to a vessel at the water front without use of the familiar belting.

Mighty Smart Sparrow. , Percy Anderson climbed to the roof of his home, Middletown, N. Y., last winter and rescued a half-frozen, starved sparrow, took it into the house and kept it in a cage all winter. In the spring he placed a band on its leg 1 and freed it. The same sparrow re turned a few days ago, flew into the house and into the cage, where it set tled down contentedly for the winter. Why should a smart bird freeze or starve or go to Florida during cold . weather if it has an understanding ■ friend with a nice warm bird cage. \ LOOK AT THE LABEL ON PAPER. MOTORS PAY BIG TAX. j Buyers of automobiles contribute about 2 1-2 per cent of all the reve nues collected by the Federal Govern- , ment. Purchasers of new cars paid Wash ington $101,060,000, in internal reve • nue taxes in the twelve months ended September, according to the Treasury Department. This sum is roughly 2.5 cents on each dollar collected from all sources by the Government, which is now taking in revenues at the rate of $4,000,00,00 a year. The internal revenue tax on auto mobiles is levied as a percentage on the sale price of the car receivd by the manufacturer. A similar tax le vied on motor trucks and parts and replacements for passenger cars is not included in the total given above. IP it were the proportionate tax contri bution by automobile owners and buy ers of new cars would be increased. 1 July represents the peak month for tax collections on the purchase of new cars. In that month buyers contri buted $13,501,000. Piece of Dorothy’s Mind. Dorothy Cromer, 3 years old, had a spat recently with her mother. “I don’t love you any more,” said she. “I am sorry,” said her mother. Then Dorothy grew impatient and remark ed, “Oh, I love you all right, mother, but if you were my girl I would give you a good licking.” Everything You Need in GROCERIES We have everything you need in fancy and staple Gro ceries at reasonable prices.
