FLIVVER SAM cjjji that putteth her hand to the steering wheel 'and straightway taketh it away to powder her nose shall make up in heaven or a hospital. The Judge: You are hearby sen tenced to thirty days as a pedes trian. Reckless Autoist: Good heavens, judge, do you want to murder me. Speaking of variety, there is the ftory you tell friends about the smash-up, and the one you tell when you trade the ear in. “It's always springtime when you are in love,” chirped the young husband to hia, bride. “Just the same. John, I must have a winter outfit.” Modernized Jingle Bells Blow that horn, blow' that horn, jump upon the gas, Oh. what red hot fun it is, another car to pass! Roaring down a concrete road, the surface sure and fine, Give her all that’s cornin’. kid. we’re touching eighty-nine. Ninety-five the meter says, the speed laws all are hash. Holy sweet patootie, but we’re heading for a crash, Toll, oh bells, toll bells, keep to'l- ! ing all the day, For another sorry dumb-bell’s busy being laid away. There are degree's of freeness. Air is freer if you buy gas and “Well, little light,” said the car riage horse to the candle, “I guess i we represent the powers that used i to be!” Pride: Buying an automobile to j keep folks from thinking they’re, too poor to aford a flivver. I envy thee, little lightning bug. You worry not a bit. For when you see a trafic cop. You know your tail light’s lit. A little jack lifts a car. It takes a lot of it to keep it up. ( Fair Motorist to traffic cop—j Sorry, I just washed my car and can’t do a thing with it. Automobilist: How can I get to the cemetery? Shelby Constable: Don’t stop at railroad crossings. Windy Wolf: I’m certainly in the hole. My rent’s due; my wife’s j sick; niy children are hungry and reed shoes and clothes. What shall I do? Will Arey: Buy an automobile. Take care of the dimes and they’ll take care of the interest on the flivver installments. Cop—Hey, where are you going? Don’t you know this is a one-way street? Abe (in new car)—Veil, I’m goin’ von way, ain’t I? All the world’s riding to the future in a .mortgaged automobile. What make is that ‘cut-down’ junk of a car of yours? Oh, just an old ‘Hen’. Chevrolet ? No. George Moore says along with the telephone that will dodge a motor car, there is need for the perfection of a fireplug that will move over a few feet from the only opening parking space in the block. Some men are so prosperous they can own an automobile and raise fancy chickens too. “Back-Biting” Houston, Texas.—A resolution passed by the members of the hirst Baptist church will require the 2,022 members to repledge themselves, to avoid “tattling hack-biting, unrighteous anger and 'ntoxicating drinks” or consider themselves out of the church. The time limit set is “before January 1. 1927.” Here’s a good one: Resolve to use Texaco, the better gas, and .an, clear high grade motor oils lr> 1927. adv genuine rex COAL NOW at $10 A TON.

The Raleigh Merchant’s assoc iation has inaugurated a campaign to abate the use of the term—it is not a word—Xmas, intended to mean Christmas. Habit is strong and it is often difficult to break, but this one originated in sheer in dolence. That may not make it easier to overcome, but at least the truth should be told about it. The X is supposed to represent the Cross, but as that emblem is one of the most sacred and significant in the Christian religion, it would be more intolerant and resentful of its debasement to the uses of serv ing a lazy man’s convenience. Pub lic sentiment can accomplish any thing within reason, but the diffi culty lies in arousing and main tanirig such a sentiment as will disuade even the indolent from the abuse or misuse of a sacred sym bol to serve their convenience in doing and writing things in the easiest way. Heretofore sporadic protests have been made against “Xmas” habit, but since many advertisers were wont to use the execrable ab breviation in their advertisements not a few newspapers hesitate to be outspoken in disapproving the use of the term. Now, however, that the merchants themselves have taken the initiative in the matter, we are hopeful that with the co-operation of the press and the public sentiment aroused peo ple generally may be impelled to develop sufficient energy to write the werd “Christmas,” instead. But the propaganda against Xmas must be sustained, if it is to be ef fect.vc, and attain its objective. 11. NEW ENG inside __ iecv?e.( War;', Mass.—Addins: to a long list of recent changes in the tex tile situation in New England, the Otis company of Ware has an nounced a plan for closing their plant here and removing manu facture to the South. The project j will be submitted to the stockhold-! ers for ratification on December! 6. Reduction of manufacturing. costs to meet Southern competi-! tion was given as the principal reason for the removal. Within the last month a num ber of consolidations of textile companies have been made public with economy in production as the goal. Recently the Nashua Manufac- j turing company purchased the] plant of the Tremont and Suffolk mills in Lowell and cjelails of a merger between the Peppered Manufacturing company and the Massachusetts Cotton mills were made public. Last month the Jenckes-Manville company of Rhode Island closed its Nourse mill at Woonsocket and moved the machinery to units already in op eration in the South. The plant of the Quidniek-' Windham company at Willimantic was closed in October, and the an nouncement reason was the inroads of Southern competition. The Otis company employed 1.500 persons in the manufacture hf awnings, denims, cotton suit ings, cotton underwear, and otfytr cotton products. The mills, estab lished in 1830. constituted the town’s most important industry. Recently the company sold the gas company, which i. had operated. Under the olati now submitted to the stockholders by Treasurer Harry G. Nichols the mills and other property here, including a number of tenements, would be sold, as well as the company’s mills at Greenville, N. J. Part of the manufacturing would be re moved to two modern plants own ed by the company at Palmer, hut the majority would be taken South. Merry Xmas will be twice as merry if you use Texaco gas ar.d oil in your car to take you there and bring you back adv The best way to start a savings account is to use Texaco gas and oil. adv. The Usefulness of Scientists (From The Montgomery Advertis The New York American, dis cussing the usefulness of scientists, says: “There are Vvo ways of looking at scientific investigations. “One is to regard it merely as an interesting exercise of the mind a curious exploratio ninto the mys teries of nature, with no special objects in view except the pleas ure* of investigating itself: the other is to look at it from its more practical and useful point of view. “No doubt science has been of enormous assistance in the world’s work, but it is a question whether those who made the remarkable discoveries in science had the usefulness of it in mind. “Most of the investigation are made ‘just for fun,’ that is, doina a thing for the joy of doing it; and the usefulness of the discovery has been a sort of by-product. “Many important discoveries of modern times have not enured to the benefit of the discoverer, but have been put ,o practical use by quite another type of mind.” It is true that pure science gives us valuable discoveries, while applied science puts them into practical use in the world, but wo think there can be little doubt that th l great majority of scien tists have done their work with the usefulness of it in mind. They may not ^e the ones to pa; their ideas into practice, but they know that o'ce they have made discoveries, others will spun give them to the world as practicalities. Scientists no doubt get immense 1 personal gratification out of “ex ploration into the mysteries of nature,” buf few indeed go about their experiments and researches with no special object in view. Chemists, who make ut> a large class of scientists, certainly have the good of mankind in mind as; they work in their laboratories, j and so it is with workers in the 1 great field of medical science. In | ■ he field of pure physics, and in j the zoological and biological | branches of science, the work may ! not enure directly to the benefit of mankind, but indirectly the ! knowledge gained by these scien- , lists is of value to the world a: large. To Pay Sesqui Debts Philadelphia, ra.—The City ad ministration plan to finance the Sesquicer.tennia! Exposition deficit out of loan funds was advanced when the council passed an ordi nance appropriating $5,000,000 to the mayor, part of which will be used in paying the debts of the exposition.

MRS. O. M. SUTTLE, Clerk and Treasurer. Traffic The guy ahead threw her into re verse, Broke my front, but it might have been Worse; ! Some hurryin’ boob tore off my door, Rut things like that don’t make me sore; Along came a saphead that could n’t stop So he went right over and ruined my top; I was sidoawiped then by another, near The place where I usually sit to steer; The top was ruined, the front was smashed, Th" door was gone and the sides all crashed; 'Twas then I got mad and lost my cheer—t When some nut behind, asleep or blind, Mushed in and spoiled my whole career. American queens don’t get the attention Queen Marie did because they are not so uncommon. The difference between a suc cess and a failure is that or.o al ways gives reasons and the other gives excuses. The small boy may think he has a hard life because he must wash bis ears now and then. but wait until he grows up and has to shave every day. No permanently wholesome life e'thtr in the community or the na tion can be built on a substantial brsis unless home life and home training play a great part in this process. Going broke is an easy trip be cause it is all dov.-n hill. When a gossip meets a gossip, it brings on a lot of talk. It requires an optimist to be tickled at what a hard time he is having.
