The Road In New Overland 4 e Three-Point Cantilever Sprin YOU expect a bad road to ride as it looks. It did, until the introduction of the Overland 4 Springbase. Overland 4 does not change the road, but it does change the manner in which you can ride on it; It gives you comfort instead of dis-comfort. It gives you a smooth, sailing sensation instead of bouncing and swaying. i The Diagonal attachment of Three-Point Canti lever Springs at theends of a 130-inch Springbase gives long wheelbase road steadiness. let Overland 4 retains all the advantages lightness, econ omy 3 and easeofhandling,of 100-inch wheelbase. flfl. flill ... , j ... , . r .

The Seats of the Mighty. A Certain captain went' calling upon the village belje. The old man kept a very vicious housedog, and upon the occasion of the officer's call the dog was untied. When the fearsome ca nine had finished with the captain the seat of the lattw's trousers was miss ing. His brother officers, joshing him about his predicament, asked if the girl was worth risking his anatomy in that fashion. The captain replied: "Maybe hot, but I have always been willing to give up my seat to any ladv V'lxulua 1 v, Women Volunteers, Preparing Tnemseivea tor special Group of "TSce at Baptirt Women's Training School, Fort Worth, Texas. Have Eye for the Future. Do for yourself what you admire .seeing the other man do. He takes time to get "ahead. His mind is his most precious treasure. No pains are too much to bestow upon it. You watch him grow and admire his pluck. You even speak the word that boosts him. Why not apply his principles to your own life? Make the hours count. Take detours now that you may ride an easy road later. Exchange. "Carpet-Bagger." It is said that the term "carpet-bagger" was first applied to political ad venturers in America. It was designed to describe a needy political adventur er who wanders over the country pan dering to the prejudices of the igno rant in order to try to get into office. He was so called because he was re garded as having only enough property to fill a carpet bag. Learned Her Lesson. A friend of ours was collector for a lodge. His little daughter .was in the habit of accepting pennies from the members. Her mother chastised her and told her she mast not accept pennies any more. So the next dayy when one of the members offered he$ a penny, she said: "I can't take pen nies ; I can only take nickels and dimes,"- Exchange, North American Moose. The best moose hunting in east ern North America found in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The best in the United States is in Maine. Moose are believed to, be hold ing their own if not increasing. Er nest Thompson Seton, the naturalist, estimates that there are about a mil lion moose in North America. Next Morning the Loaves Had Two. 'A baker of raisin bread whose prod: net got shyer and shyer or raisins one day received this sarcastic letter: "Herewith I hasten to return a raisin which I found in a loaf bought on your premises this morning. Trusting that you, have not been inconvenienced in any way by its temporary loss, I re main, etc." Masculine Contempt. Small Richard asked hfs sister to roll his sleeve up for him and as she didn't do it neatly he remarked. "Gee, and you expect to be a wife yetl" . - - - - -i Sea-Island Cotton. Practically all of the sea4sland cot ton is produced in the states of Georgia, Florida and South Carolina, the finest coming fpc m the chain of isl ands off the Carolina coast. It is well named sea-island cotton, "Is when grown away from tW coast the fiber rapidly degenerates into upland cot ton unless seed grown in the islands is obtained for planting successive crops. To Start -a Clock. The stopping of a clock may be dua to clogged wheels. Thoroughly satu rate a piece of white cotton with kero sene oil and place it inside the clock case. Probably at the end of a week the cotton wrill be black wifh dust that has been loosened by the fumes of th oil and the clock will run as well as ever. "Writ Sarkastlc." In answer ,to a question as' to whether it is safe to allow a baby and dog to sleep together the health de- hpartment of the Brooklyn Eagle says : "A child of that age is capable of har boring all sorts of microbes, and she might infect the dog with something; so it isn't very safe.for the dog. A dog should have a separate bed : with 8 change of sheets every night. Make Bells.
