MONROE HARDWARE COMPANY. HOWELL'S GARAGE (Thos. V.Howell), Peachland. T. J. RENFROW & SONS, Matthews. Honors Even Much to the surprise of his fellow townsmen. Tom Buckman passed the draft examination and entered the United States Army. Although physi cally a fine specimen, he was always considered, as they described it. us "p. little lacking." Evidently, Ms men ial deficiency was soon discovered in the army; he did not go overseas, and was in the first baitch of soldiers dis charged after the signing of the aim Istice. Tom soon reappeared in the village, ivoudly strutting up and down the Btreets, and stopping to relate his iiiarlial experiences to all who would listen. As everyone knew that he had i ever left the training camp, his ter lible adventures in "action" were the source of keen amusement. He was in the midst of a great battle one morn-1 lug when the village Joker came along. ' "I suppose, Tom," said he, Inter rupting the lurid story, "that you i;iust have killed a lot of Germans over there." "VWl," answered Tom, modestly, "I killed a few. 'Bout a thousand of 'er.i I guess." "What!" cried the Joker. "Surely you didn't kill thart many?" "P'r'aps 'twas only a hundred," Tom grudgingly admitted. "Oh, you couldn't have killed as a many as a hundred unless you had a machine gun or were a bomb throw er!" "Well, niebbe 'twas only ten 1 kill ed." "Now are you sure of that?'' "I know I killed one, anyway," was Tom's answer. "Did you actually see the one man that you killed and are you sure that you did it?" Tom was beginning to got angry. "Now look here. Hill Green," he shouted, "you think you are smart, but I'll tell you what I did do! I killed Just as many of them as they did of me, anyhow." u Women!

The Uses of Adversity i The morning after the strike of the street railway men began, says the Kansas Ci'ty Star, we overtook a per ipatetic philosopher swinging down the boulevard, with his chest out and : his head thrown down. j "Rotten business, this strike," we said. I "Finest 'thing that ever happened." he said. Strikes saved my life made 'a man of me." j "l'n Ion man?" we asked. "Naw. Office slave. Two years ago I was an anaemic, dyspeptic, neuras thenic, hypochondriac slave of the desk. For two years I have been try ins to cut out heavy midday lunches and to start walking down in the morning; couldn't make up my mind I to do lit . Then came along that wait ers' strike, and I cut out the restau rant brought a couple of sandwiches down and Fletcherized them at noon. Then the street car boys struck, and I had to walk. I haven't ridden in a street car since. I've gained twenty pounds. Never have been sick a day since. Have a clear head for my work, and never felt better In my life. There's Just one more strike I'd like to see. "What's that?" "Pie makers. I'm still a little over fond of pie."

Richard Henry ! Little, who intimates, aimim nthr,Y things, that he has been regaled with X boiled sawdust as a substitute for coffee in Berlin, writes an article for the Hutchinson (Kansas) Gazette, de scribing present-day living conditions i in the German capital. From what he says it appears that In addition to the substitutes there is also the most de- Y liehtful uncertainty regarding the A prices one is likely to be asked to pay for his meals, it is said: One can get breakfast for two and a half marks, but yesterday afternoon I in the bar-room at the Hotel Bristol. X two of us ordered chetse cake and!? what the bartender said was eggnog. 1 It as not eggnog. but It was very! good, altho "the two gh.sscs and the! two cbesse-cakes were twenty-nine1 marks. There are elcht marks to the: dollar. And two and a half marks is really not such a cheap price fori breakfast, because it consists only of a slice of toasted bread, a little lain. and coffee, which the waiter explains ! is not real coffee. (ern One can get something close real coffee by ordering "mocha". you say "mocha" you gt coffee that tastes like coffee, but it costs four marks or more, depending where you are. The ordinary coffee served in the Berlin restaurants tastes rather good. If it had a high-sounding name and was said to be free from the deadly tannin and a great restorer to shak tered nerves and was made in Battle Creek, people at home would be will ing to pay much more for it than the best blend of Mocha and Java. But when you have to drink it, of course, that's different. Motor Accidents A large per cent of auto accidents are reallv MOTOR accidents. X Your motor is the heart of your car.

A As to what meals cost, three Amer ican correspondents had dinner last evening at a very nice restaurant. All the tables were well filled wtth well groomed men and women and a vio linist with a long mane played sonl fully during each course. We had a fine soup, good beefsteak', 'mashed potatoes, peas, bread and butter, chocolate carniels for desert, coffee, and sugar, a bottle of Moselle wine. The bill was 125 marks, about $17 in our money, something over $4 apiece. The Americans in Berlin like to go to the smaller restaurants more than they do to the lobster places, because in the little places there Is not such an appalling array of goblets and glasses and table cutlery, but good, plain substantial food. In the humbler restaurants, too, the waiters don't poke the wine-card ait you ev ery few minutes and are not worried to death if you haven't got your meat and butter and bread and sugar 'coupons with you. Generally speak ing, if you have your bread and other coupons you are probably safer, be you might find a waiter who would stand on the law, but If you haven't got them you get what you want just the same anyhow. Of course, lots of foods things we are served with in the Berlin restau rants are substitutes, but that is equally true of Chicago. Perhaps in Chicago the substitutes are purer and more wholesome, but anyhow, the Berlin substitutes look and taste like the real things. They may be very de trimental to health In the long run. but anyhow you have the benefit of the long run, which Is something. The movie fans in Berlin are lik? those in Chicago. They are very loyal and they laugh and cry at the pic tures. I don't blame them for crying. The pictures would make anybody cry they're so bad. But the Berllners have their own German Mary Pick fords nnd Charlie Chaplins, and oth er popular idols just hKe ours, aim are intensely devoted to them. The actors are, of course, terribly handi capped by the photography and the ; poor quality of the films. j The pictures are generally blurred and streaky, and sometimes a wild burst of light and then deep gloom with the beautiful heiress and the i had vlllian walking around in a Lou-, don fog. But the Audiences don't mind, whether he is German or Anier-1 lean. You simply can't drive him away from his Idols. When America begins sending over; ship-loads of food-supplies to the Ger-, mans I hope that some of our sym-1 pathetic movie devotees will slip in a j hundred or so of our latest and best ' films. The poor starving movie fans j of Berlin, choked with substitute! Mary Pickfords and the chemical! Charlie Chaplins and photography committed by the village blacksmith,; ought to be looked after and fed back to strong movie health by liberal rat-; ional on the best films that sunny' California can produce. Germany has been Isolated for; years from a lot or things that oven In America we think we couldn't get along without. New books and pic tures and plays have appeared very seldom in Germany sice its sole oc-! cupatlon became war and the Influx j of all these things are eargerly await- j ed. i 1' expected to see German women ' wearing styles of five years ago but ; not at all. They are wearing things as chic and smart ts in Paris. I am told that the reason for that in that ' will not be downed, war or no war, and that French dressmakers who found business somewhat slack at ; home during the hostilities, turned many an honest penny by sending their latest creations through Swit zerland to Germany. Anyhow, the( women at the opera and .In the fash ionable restaurants In Berlin look ex tremely well drest. while I am not an 1 authority on this subject, they seem ; to be fully to date. The men are all well drest, too. I hadn't seen full-dress suit frr so long before I came to IWlin tliat all I could remember about them was that tbey were black and consisted of pants, coat, and vest, hut If th? even ing dress worn In Berlin Is not mod- It looks as if it ought to be. The lojsilk hats, which abound in the even jf jing, are my ideal of what the perfect silk nat ought to be. ana I snouid t.ay Berliners wear the latest thing in canes, dogs, and jewelry. I was told (hat before I came up here Germany was suffering terrible agony because of the scarcity of soap, and I tried to relieve stricken human ity by importing twenty cakes of the kind of American soap that does not sink when you throw it in the tub. A cruel custom-house officer in Holland with dirt behind his ears hated me be cause I was a missionary of cleanli ness and he took all my soap away from me and I could not carry out my philanthropic intentions. But I haven't seen anybody in Ber lin with a drily face or who doesn't look as clean as they do in Evanston. Everybody's linen and collars and hankies are Immaculate, and, while there is no soap on your washstand in the hotel, you can easily get a bar for a few marks. Anyhow, I have a bar of soap that I smuggled out of Holland In my pocket and I won't worry till that's gone. When it is gone, I'm going to ask some of these clean-looking Btrliners where they get their soap or what substitute they use. If It Isn't honest-to-good ness soap It's the next thing to it. iMte a lovely old lady, but she waste & great deal of life. We all know the other kind, also, the persons who drift along with out much thought of time, or tardi ness or promptitude. They do not care whether you are ready and wait ing, or whether. meals are, They come when they please. They often cause huge inconvenience to other people, but they themselves seem to live very contentedly so contented that they make ou wonder whether the world would not be much happier if free from the thorny consciousness of clocks. But there is a class of persons born with a pressing.driving sense of punc tuality, yet apparently never quite able to live up to it. They know their duty, but they cannot do it. They are never absent or seriously late. Vet even with the most desperate struggle they are somehow never quite on time. You are equally conscious of the strt'ggle and of their tardiness. So are they. It is not a question of oth ers' convenience merely, but of their own. They mean to be prompt, but they simply cannot. The delay may 'not be more lhan five minutes, maf 'not be more than one minute. Or if. , by a superhuman effort, they are for 'once on time, they still give the im pression of being late. These tin fort ' unates seem to be too late for life, j Such people often have the same 'slight tardiness In affairs. They may be intelligent, even brilliant; but thoy One Minute Youth's Companion.
