Random Shots
General Pershing will never know
What a good time he missed by not
accepting Alliance's Invitation to
atop over with us.
Mark Woods threw us down.
We're not sure of this, but we've
got to la? It on someone.
Now that Mark, has gone la for
politics, he'll hare to learn to be the
goat and do It chcerfull.
We hope Pershing makes him am
basaador to Russia.
Ninety-seven people called up the
telephone office New year's night
when ther heard all those whistles
blowing, and wanted to know where
the Ore was.
One brother thought the peace
treaty had been signed.

Boys' Shoes in this part of the State.

The fellow who was tooling that
whistle that had the low, moaning
sound was sending Morse code for a
while. We caught two "l"s In suc
cession, but couldn't make ou the
letters that preceded them.
Chiropodists aren't the only kind
of foot specialists.
When you can't think of anything
else to talk about feet is an under
standable subject.
We wrote It "1920" for the very
first time. We're not telling about
the next three.
These fellows who say it's easy to
spot a drunk may be wrong. We ran
acroHS a very respectable citizen on
our way home the other night and
he bad no odor of liquor or lemon
extract on his breath but he was
looking at that light on top of New
berry's and muttering something
about two moons.
Remember that story about the
man who was found lytrg In a gutter,
dead to the world. Thy shook him,
and kicked him, and the cop said In
disgust: "The fellow's dead drunk."
A little girl on the edge of the crowd
who had see nher father spiffllcted
a good many times, spoke up pos
itlvely: "Why, mister, he's not
drunk. I Just saw him itove a
finger." .
What do you think of the deter
mination of a man who swears off
smoking, and two hous after he an
nounces the decision, is seen puffing
awa j at a big black cigar?
There are worse things than to
bacco. Have you ever smelled one
of the new model cubebsT
Our op, feeling that he ought to
swear off on something has decided
to wear no more purple ties with or
ange spots In them.
Those who have no vices are pret
ty lonesome on Good Resolutions
day.
The hunt Is on. For one whole
year no presentable bachelor will be
safe from pursuit.
We know of one of them who
wants to be pursued. He's beginning
to use some nice smelling stuff on his
hair.

CITY FINISHING VP
THE COAL BUSINESS
Invoices for certain carloads of
coal are coming In slowly, but the
present outlook Is that the end of the
week may see the city clear out of
the coal business. Checks to cover
more than half of the coal purchased
have been mailed, and the city man
ager and. assistant, Mrs. Glvens. are
anxiously waiting for the last bill to
arrive.
Figures for the coal business are
partially complete, and sho-r that, an
enormous amount of work Is entailed j
In supplying the city with fuel. A
total of twenty-Beven carloads of coal
ber 26 to December 14. Actual cash
receipts were 111,185.31. The freight
amounted to the tidy sum of 13,
768.62. The number of pounds of
coal handled was $2,126,500, and
the number of loads hauled was
2.261.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR v
Weak Links
in a Strong Chain
That 's just what imitation parts are when they become .a part of your car.
They look well enough, but the metal isn't there the strong, durable Vana
dium steel that goes into the Ford chassis and every Ford part. Ford parts
are specially case and heat-treated, each according to its use. Some require a
hard, flint-like wearing surface, others need rcsilcncy, and some need just
"toughness."
Ford metallurgists have been studying those problems for sixteen years
and know just how each unit should be made to endure a maximum of wear
and tear. They know that best results can be obtained only by the use of
special formulas for different parts, and that honest Ford parts wear from
thirty-five to one hundred per cent longer than counterfeits.
We carry complete assortments of genuine Ford parts for both passenger
cars and trucks. And our garages are equipped to give careful, prompt Ford
service from minor adjustments to complete overhauls. Drive in, it's better
to be safe than sorry. Come to the Authorized Ford dealers for service.
