I' n (Considering the proper form of the plurals of such words as "spoonful," "cupful," armful," etc., it must be borne in mind that the unit considered is not the spoon, the arm, the cup, etc.,; but the material that fills the spoon, etc. Thus the unit is the spoonful, not the spoon, and as "spoonful" Is the name of a thing In itself, the proper form of the plural is found by adding an "s" to the word "spoonful," and not to the part of the word "spoon." Of course, there are times when the unit is the spoon itself; that is, when two or more spoons are filled. When, for example, you have before you two spoons filled with sugar, you should say "two spoons full," and not "two spoonfuls." But when you take ' a ?poon, fill it with sugar and' empty It Into your coffee cup, and repeat the process, you have taken two "spoon fuls" of sugar, and not two "spoons full." . , (Copyright.) ; .SUBSCRIBE TO PUBLIC LEDGER WEEKLY AMBON OF ST. STEPHEN'S i PARISH THE TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY The ancient Feast of Tabernacles, or Booths beginning 15th of Tishri (Oct. 17) fills this week of the Hebrew Calendar with its spiritual wonder. It is the third of the great Feasts of the Old Testament, also the most important. This Harvest Festival re minds Israel of the booths in the wilderness journey, and fore casts the final harvest of the world, when the mission of God's people will have been completed, and all nations gathered unto the Lord, and His Holy Name known, indeed, among the Gentiles. It is remarkable how many allusions to this High Feast occur in the writings of the Prophets. Also remarkable that this Feast is the wily-type- irt the Old Testament hot-yet -fulfilled. So far' it is Pre served in lonely majesty, to; be revealed in the fulness of time. St. Matt. 21:8, repeats the. words and acts of one of the chief cere monies. Rev. 7:9.10. is another allusion. The Dedication of Sol omens Temple, and the resting of The Shechinah over the Mercy Seat occured during this Feast. SUNDAY SERVICES Holy Eucharist 7:30 a. m. Sunday School 9:45 a. m.

' 'uiiiiiHftinuiiiiimmmuiiiEiiiiEiiiiiiiiii I THE GIRL ON THE JOB J How to Succeed How to Get E Ahead How to Make Good ' E I By JESSIE ROBERTS J rriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiKiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir? DO YOU WANT SUCCESS? DO YOU want to make a success of your business life, or do you put that second to having a good time? Don't complain if you can't have both. The girl who runs around from party to party is not going to get to her work in the best state for doing it well. Her mind is not clear, her body is not; alert. She is tired. Are you willing to do the uninterest ing part of your job well, or do you slur what you don't like in it?. Every jobhas its grind side. But to succeed you must make that grind worth while by doing it well. It is part of the price you pay for success. ' - You must keep in good physical con dition if you want success. You need proper rest, enough sleep and healthful food. You need exercise in the open air. Keeping fit is part of the price you must pay for success. A number of girls regard an office as a sort of matrimonial bireau. Their first idea is to be fascinating to the male element. But if that is what you are after, don't say you want success in your business, and don't be sur prised if you see other, girls who do want success get advancement while you stay put. Success Is a big thing. The success fur woman Is not afraid of losing her job. She knows that her work is so good that an employer will be lucky to get her, or that, if she is in busi ness for herself, she is sure of results. But success Is, not, an accident,- tCopyright.)

Granting that we are selling targe quantities of low grade tobacco, our general average is higher than our neighboring markets. We are selling tobacco "at prices that compare favorably with prices of 1919., The High Year; quality considered. We believe Oxford is standing on the top round of high prices and feel that those who are not taking advantage of the high prices paid on the Oxford Market are making a mistake. It is easy to talk of high prices paid on other markets, but we are delivering the goods. The following prices quoted tells 'the tale:' , 11 1 - - : . 1 Williams and Oakley J. C.
