BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE I DID THEY HAVE SOME MILK IN THE PAINT A rcry broad smile spread itself over the face or the averae Ikl- sheviki. when congress placed the war tax on toilet articles, it would never worry him. :o: Generally speaking. xa wife 'is a person who thinks that Just because you have let go of the money for tickets to some charitable entertain ment, you ought to go. :o. In every city of importance, there is an acute shortage of dwellings this year. The question is no long er. "Will there be a phonograph in your home this Christ mas." but "Will there be a home for jour phonograph?" :o: A Vermont druggist, sentenced to twelve years in prison for killing fifteen of his customers by selling them wood alcohol, has been pard oned. The governor learned that he only intended to sell them grain alcohol, a slower poison. :o: The old lien sat in a leafless tree ami said: "Nobody cares for me. My food is what I find about, I bunt for it until I'm frazzled out. My own er says I do not pay. and that I ottcht to lng and lay. I wish he had to sit out here and live on pickin's all the year. I'll bet a half a cent, by Jing. he wouldn't lay from now till spring." :o: It Dimt be a great relief to the altitude champions, after flying around 2S.0OO feet in the air. to start down and see tte earth grad ually come back into view. They say the earth looks like an object that could mighty easily be mislaid, in the eyes of a man that high in . the sky. :o: In an ordinary column there are in.iHo pieces of type, there are sev en wrong positions that a letter may be put in. there are 70.000 chances to make errors, and millions of chances for transpositions. In the short sentence. "To be or not to be." by transpositions alone it is When a bit of sunshine hits you After passing of a cloud. When a bit of laughter hits you And your spine is feelin proud; Don't forget to up and fling it At a soul that's feelin' blue, For the minute that you sling it It's a boomerang to you. :o: economy consists not in going without needed things so much as in using all things, money included. to the best possible advantage. :o: It is absolutely certain that if some people would follow the rule to think twice before they speak they would never say another word in their lives. :o: If you are dissatisfied with your farm get a real-estate man to ad vertise it for sale. Then read the advertisement : it mav make you better satisfied. :o: A gain of 2.0S pounds a day was ports have increased $5,000,000,000 made bv hoes on J. W.

They say that the war is not over, the Germans say they will not sign- the treaty, and if they do, the United States senate will reject it. and that there are no sound principles upon which the traders are acting. Notwith standing that kind of laih, me greatest business ever known is be ing transacted on the exchanges. What makes wealth is continuous production in a country where raw material is abundant. One indus trial statistician who lias an in ternational reputation concerning industrial production, was applied to by a big firm in New orK. i ne following was the reply received: "Although we possess only 7 per cent of the worlds land in un united States, we produce in this wonderful country 20 ier cent of the world's gold, 40 per cent of tin world's silver, 40 per cent of the world's iron and steel, 25 per cent of the world's wheat. 10 per cent of "the world's lead, 52 per cent of the world's coal, 60 per cent of the world's aluminum, 60 per cent of the world's copper, 66 per cent of iho world's cotton. Gh ner cent ot the world's oil, 75 pr cent of tin world's corn and S5 per cent of th world's automobiles. Our total ex tractive fence placed country home, which The story is told of an in state farmer, who recently had a very at- around his he concluded he would paint white to be jn keep ing with the proper Ks'd'spirit Two calves were grazing near by, and immediately left their clover, and approaching the fence, licked the paint entirely off the pailings. The calves were taken with lead poisoning and died. The farmer i. now mourning because he has no paint on his fence, nor calves in his pasture. :o: "OUR BOYS" AGAIN. p'OLKS are a heap like tobacco Thar's hot-headed, bitey folks. Thar's Hat, uninterestin9 folks. An9 then thar's folks like Velvet mild, bat hearty an' fren'ly, too. A closo record should be i the product of each hen on possible to make 2.750,022 errors. So you can see the perils that beset a printer. :o: The Springfield (Mo.) Leader re ports that Kmil Kromer, a tool ex pert of the Frisco Railroad shops, has been granted a patent for his invention which is a new boring tool to be used in boring out engine cylinders and air pump pistons in locomotives. Its chief advantage is that, it can be used without dis sembling the parts of the locomo tive which are to be bored, it being so licht in construction and so bal anced that it can be moved to the engine and operated successfully without removing the cylinders and carrying them to the machine as has been necessary with the boring tool now in use. :o: Hawker and Grieve hopped off in to what has ben described as "the greatest sporting adventure in all history." They lived to experience every sensation the adventure prom ised except actual success and act ual death. Their disaster brought them down to a very intimate view of the latter. Their rescue brought them back to a welcome and a place of honor high above anything a mere flight across the Atlantic could have afforded, even though the first successful flight i3 yet to be made. Half of the prize for which they flew has been accorded them; in place of the half they lost, tbey will have their names written along with that of Columbus. And plenty of glory remains for the man who actually succeeds in making the Trans-Atlantic flight. No hu man intellect could have divided a prize so well In advance. should be sent to market or to t he j pot. - - :o: . The "hammer" is the implement of the artisan and the sound of the saw and hammer is music in a pro gress ve town, but many towns are non-progressive because the ham mer is used in excess, not alwavs constructively, but destructively better put that little hammer away for awhile and let something happen. :o: The matter of "show me" in Mis souri, is not always required, for in the little town of Cordonville, the town board who are keeping abreast of the times, have sold their city jail for ninety dollars, anticipating the ushering in of national prohibi tion at an early date and consider ed they would in the future not have any use for a jail. The man who purchased it, Henry W. . Mack will use it as a storage room. Un bounded faith in national law has evidently superceded the "show me." :o: Conservation seems to have ran riot with some people. It is told of a young lady who had supervision over the kitchen supplies of her home who, when a hail storm came which destroyed the wheat crop, ruined the oats, put the corn on the blink, stripped the trees of their fruit and leaves, killed much young stock, on account of the size of the hail stones, ran out and gathered up what she could so as to save them for freezing ice cream, that nothing be lost that could be turned to use. Pretty good girl, eh! :o: It is reported that an up,-state physician, who is also a piscatorial artist, always with a view of "Safe ty First" parried a pocket scale with him to verify a catch which he might make while plying the rod and line. He did not wish to exaggerate his fish stories, and he always weighed all he caught. One time he chanced to be called to a place where storkship was also making a visit and on the arrival of the new Nebraskan, there being nothing to weigh him with the fish er physician pulled out his scales to weigh the baby and judge to the surprise of all present when on his scales the young man tipped the beam to 42 pounds. -:o: A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE FOR BAD DRIVING The Star invites attention to the letter from Mr. K. (. MofTatt, pub lished yesterday afternoon, suggest ing the formation of a citizens" vigilance committee to report and deal with infractions of the traflic rules.- The careless or reckless motor car driver is a menace not only to the owners of ears, but to the tens of thousands of passengers who ride in them every day. The police force can cover only n small part of the city. I5ut if motorists generally were organized into an association for dealing with the improvement of trafilc condi tions, they could cover the city thoroughly and virtually put an end to dangerous driving. The person who never thinks of reporting a reckless driver under present condi tions would make it' a point to re port him If he belonged to the vigil ance committee. The plan has proved its practic ability in St. Louis. There is 'a great opportunity to put it into suc cessful operation in this city. K. C. Star. -:o:- Just. fess up now on this proposi tion. The papers are just at this time discussing what kills towns. Yes, some are -dead, some are alive and some ten years behind the times, and what is the matter with them. Well we have an idea that it id because when some project in advanced for the benefit of the city, that some one is always placing an obstruction in the way because they think it will benefit someone they do not like. Well now is not this about the truth, you do not need to say so in public if you do not want to, but privately is not it so? :o: We have heard of Goose Creek, and suppose it is quite a stream a-, it has been mentioned in history, and wonder it it runs through Mon roe county. "According to the Mon roe County Appeal. Claude Hender son who has-recently purchased a farm near Monroe City. Mo., which he will use for the raising of geese. Last year he raised some thirty thousand of the birds, and had only gotten started then. The Middle West thought it had used up all its joy and pride when the 25th came home. Now. reading of the landing of the S9th, and re calling its great achievements, tliel folks oack Home una uiey nave a big a supply of emotions as thev started out with. The stock hasa't been diminished a bit. They are prouder than they can sav that tlie hoys or the VJlh are their boys and all Americans share their pride in this division that was whipped into shape at Camp Funs- ton under the direction of that master soldier. Maj. Gen. I-onard Wood. K. ". Star. :o: Jfackiione is that rear uualitv in one's organization which will refuse to allow one- to sign a petition. whether it is just or not. :o: If a young man puis away, at tie per cent interest, ten cents out of every dollar he earns, he can live comfortablv on the interest from hi.- savings by t lie time he is iuty years old. :o: Tho shorter the pasture the better the line fences ouuht to be. Once let a sheep get the habit (if crawl ing through the fence, or jumpin: over, and we have lost every nope of peace for the rest of the season. :o: A little scrubby bull that ban been a priceless possession on Spike Harrow's farm for nearly ten years. has been sold to the butcher. Spike was sold out by the sheriff, and Un lit tie runt had to go. :o: Making a fortune in America seems to be only a matter of a few weeks. Mr. McAdoo. who resigned from the Cabinet the first of the year to regain his fortune, eeem to be all finished with that now. and is talking of running for Presi dent next year. :o: Hens that are laying are not likely to accumulate fat;. it' is when they are not laying that they do so. Keeping hens in good condition does not mean that they must be heavy. Fattiness alone is desirable when they are being made ready for mar ket. :o: One quart, more milk a day from each cow was secured by a Ilicks- vill'e, N. Y, dairyman after he be gan to spray bis cows with the oil drawn from the crank cases of his auto and truck, to keep away the flies. That man has the right hog by the ear. u m. u oi- iii:; S3 ' f . FRIEEIM.Y tt Friendly" is a vcrv frood word to H positively pleasing quality that sets VELVET tobacco apart. There is that indescribable something about VELVET that is associated in men's minds with the thought of a friend. . It is a satisfying smoke never harsh; without a bite. Like a friend it "agrees' with you no matter how much you use it. Long, patient ageing in wooden hogsheads does it. Friendship must ripen slowly. Good tobacco the same way. An army of men have " learired this through VELVET. Today is a good time to get a lot of comfort out of a pipeful of friendly VELVET.
