Mr. Ebeltoft even reads it him* seif, although his biggest seller is “'True Stories.” And since we’ve been boosting the real estate agents some of the others may think that this is an advertising column, and this paragraph is no thing else: Theatre fans who like Rood shows should not miss two com ing to Shelby this week. “The Merry Widow” with Mae Murray and John Gilbert at the Princess theatre will be un evening well spent, and no theatre fan should miss the opport unity of seeing the ulmost impossible impersonations on the screen at Webb theatre of Lon Chaney in “The Phan tom of the Opera.” * * * “Wearing out water,” that’s a new expression, but it’s what the tex tile men are saying about the power companies during the dry season, karl Hamrick says that while the Water has been low in the streams of this section that the power companies have been using the same water so mlien that is becoming .-lick * * * After looking over all the differ ent things that drug stores downtown curry in stockan old-timer remarks that once was pharmacist merely had to pass a medical board before he started working in a drug store, but that nowadays he had to be an ex pert soda hop and a philospher on dispensing garden and flower seed" ss wtl! as knowing how to get th? static out of a radio bedtime s'er ■ Ain’t it so? * * * A lawyer who read in the column recently of the advertising being car ! ried on for what is owing to doctors | takes a (ling in saying that most peo ple usually have to Jo heroic deed? to have a monument erected, but that i every time a doctor made a mistake it meant another monument.

LADIES, CURLED HAIR STYLE IS COMING BACK, ITS HERE London, —The curl oner seen In the coiffure is coming back. edict of the hair dresser is hair again must show from ath the brim of woman's hats. The stern mannish line of the small hat cram med upon an eton-cropped head so that not a single hair is visible, has been ordained a thing of the past. The lost curl, or a bunch of stray, wavy ends of hair, wh;ch will give softness to the face, are to be the vo gue. Dame fashion has decreed that the curls must match the dress of the wearer. Thpy come in pastel shades and are pinned on so that only hair in pale blue petunia, -rose or green shows from under the hat. For evening wear, complete wigs in pasttl evening dresses. Wisdom is in knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is in doing it. David Starr Jordan. CEIL KEEPS 1 OF RALEIGH Oil! OE BRITISH TITLE I Dr. W. A.

Amesbury, former Hyde Park physician and defendant of Sir Walter Raleigh, has been trans ferred from Charlestow n State Pri son to the prison camp in Rutland. Amesbiyy was sentenced to life im prisonment in-1909 for murder of his wife on Christmas Day, 1907. Grim steel bars for the past six I teen years have prevented this once |.respected member of the medical pro fession from inheriting a British'title a castle, 107,000 aeres and a fortune : of $5,000,000. vr Brother A&aifeHt Brother Two years ago, his sons, Dr. Win ter Raleigh Amesbury and Ivan Ral eigh Amesbury, arrayed themselves against each other on the question of his parole. “If 1 had my stl&T Waiter at that j time said, “he would take his medi cine like any other murderer in the electric chair. He is niy father, yes, but he is still my mother's slayer/' In direct contrast was the attitude of Ivan. “I bear no ill toward my father,” lie declared. “There was no pic-medi tation and he has suffered enough." Served With “Bobs" Dr. Amesbury claims direct dc ! cent from Sir Walter Raleigh, the petted favorite of the "Virgin Queen,” Elizabeth. He is 06 years , old and is a son of a surgeon-general in the British army. He himself en tered the Vfritish service and was a lieutenant with Lord Roberts in the Afghan campaign in 1877. He studied medicine in India, re ceived his degree there and served ns medical officers in Egypt, South Afri ca and Jamaica. In 1898 he came to Duxbury and settled there to practice medicine. Later he left the Cape and went to Texas. He remained in the Southwest a i year; then came to Hyde Park, w here he was practicing medicine when the I murder of his wife took place.

(From The Indianapolis News) The Northwestern port of the country, which has hail more or less trouble with the Industrial Workers of the World, now finds that it has another I. W. VV. organisation—the "I won’t Walk,” made up of what are called “gasoline bums.” Men travel about the country in antiquated motor cars, without suffi cient money to take them front one place to another. Often they have their families with them and seem to be merely traveling round, letting each day take care of itself. They form a new tribe, a cross between the hobo of the past, who walked the railroads and the highways, ahd the gypsies who traveled from place to place in gayly colored horse-drawn wagons. The gasoline tramp does not hesitate to tell a passing motorist that he has ,just run out of gasoline and needs a little to get him to the next filling station. Motorist are not as open-handed as they once were, but they still have a kindly feeling for. another in distress. The flivver tramp also begs food and shelter. Farmers who have listened to their tales and (riven shelter to such per sons have found when the visitors left the next day that articles from the farm had been stolen. Oregon residents are -tarting a movement against the gasoline trumps. They wish to have these wanderers known for what they are. They have been classed as ts arista, but now they are beginning to be re cognized a- a menace. A tramp is a tramp whether he follows the cross ties or goes about the country in a motor car. The honest turn who ir going somewhere in search of work has nothing to fear from the reform movement. Maybe Me Sow aCrnwd.
