It fits me perfectly and is a very expensive hat. Why, boys, that hat was imported from Italy."’ Auditor Durham, who was in the treasurer's office at the time, examined the hat very carefully. He held it cjit in his hands ami looked at it for a mo ment, "That hat looks just like Will Ever ett's." said the auditov. Treasurery Isicy called up the secre tary of state attd asked Mr. Everett if lie had lost a hat. "Yes." replied the secretary of state. "It was a light hat, size—” "Aw. you needn't describe it, Will." the treasurer told Mr. Everett. "Come on down here and gpt the blamed thing." That hat was left in Mr. Lucy's office when the secretary called on the treasu rer regarding the sale of some bonds. Last year organic heart disease killed nearly three times as many persons iu New York City as did tuberculosis: more than twice as many as cancer; more than half again as many as pneu monia. Approximately twenty thousand ele- , phants are killed annually for their ' ivory. IN AND ABsijt THE C3TY ~~ CROSS WORD PUJJ2LJE IS ADDING TO ITS VICTIMS Persons In All Walks of Use Joining Word-Maddened Masses—tWWord Puzzles to Many. Concord, like 'the rest of the nation, is. cross-word puzzle mad. It is nothing new now to hear daily of friends and enemies who have joined the word-mad dened masses, and there seems to be uo limit to the thing. Cusu-word puzzles is the favorite ex pression of many high-brows who are forced to admit defeat in face of the puzzling questionnaires appearing daily •in all of the newspapers now. Mah i jongg, hearts dice and in many instances the radio fiends admit t|ieir former pas sions were but playthings compared to the new indoor sport that calls for in formation on subjects ranging all tbe way from "who was king of So and So iir 14 B. C.?" to “What Is Half of a Painter's Measure.” Newspapers have devoted columns to the newest fad; whole books have been covered with the black and white puz zles; Sunday editions have given the greater iiortion of their magazine space to the questions and answers so great lias become the puzzle's hold on the American people. But who can say the puzzles have not been worth while? Who can truth fully declare they have learned nothing from the seemingly strange and some times weird questions one is required to answer? Many there are who must confess the puzzles have driven them to the dust . covered dictionary. Hundreds must ad mit theSntrieate answers have demanded a peep in to the moth-eaten reference book. Tlie Bible, the dictionary, the encyclopedia, the speller and various bocks an history have become popular in homos that formeyly knew them not. Professors, ministers and educators are sponsoring the puzzles. It develops the brain, they declare. And just as en thusiastic is bis praise should be the imp of Satan if he believes a cuss word starts on the primrose path. When the puzzle fad started we were sure it would not affect our highbrow clientele. That explains our hesitancy about publishing a daily puzzle. How ever. we have seeu the error of our way. We have been made to understand that most readers of The Tribne have already started on the puzzle path and hereafter we are going to aid them on the journey with a puzzle twice a week. Spring-Like Weather Not Popular. Spring-like weather has been Concord's lot during the past several days and judging by comments heard on the streets during yesterday and, today the weather is not popular. "Too hot for this time of the year,” is the general complaint. "This weath er would be fine next spring but it is dangerous now. Fine weather for colds and penumonia.” Fires have been needed firing the past several days only to counteract tbe dampness that followed she recent rains. The thermometer has hovered around summer heat - furs and other wraps that were ui ygreat demand a’week ago have been temporarily discarded. The merchants have suffered from the warm weather also, for many persons will uot do their winter buying until forced to. and they are taking advantage of the spring-like weather to continue tlie usage of summer' goods.

SHARP PRICR RRDUCTIdNS MADE BY HUDSON-ESSEX Coach Prices Are Definitely Fixed at Less Tit an These of Open Cars. Coach prices are definitely fixed at : less than those of open cars in the re duction on all enclosed cars announced i by the Hudson Motor Car Company. Thfi stage for this move was , set months ago when the. Hudson coach was offered at exactly the same cost as the Hudson open cars. This move was con sidered a sensation in the industry. The proportion of enclosed cars in the Hudson business, already high, reach new marks. As the volume of coach business in creased further, a reduction was pos sible which brought the Hudson coach actually below the open cars in cost. Now has come the move which brings the price of both Hudson and Essex cars below those of open ones, and far below any previous standard of enclosed ear prices in the automobile industry. Davidson College vs. Concord “Y”. The first wrestling program of the season will take place here Friday eve ning at 8:30 o'clock, between seven of Davidson's fastest into and Concord's Y wrestling team.

Tlie County Marker has prove! to be ■nick a success that it has been decided to change the hours of closing and beginning uext Saturday it will be open until four o'clock. Lots of busy .housewives find it impossible to get down town until tbe af ternoon and for their sake it has been de cided to stay open until four o'clock and thus give every one An opportunity to visit this now- plaeeof business, of which Cabarrus iieople can be justly proud.
