Tearing Down Road Signs Under New
 York States Law

New York, Sept. "A numbering five-ton motor truck sallied forth into the Borough of Queens from the Au- tomobile Club of America at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, stocked with inn plements of war shovels, axes hatchets, fire-hooks on poles and climbing spikes, to say nothing of a ladder and pair of rubber boots. The war was on the advertisements which have reared themselves, multi-color- ed within the public highways, and the declaration of it was in the new law making it a misdemeanor to paste, fasten, or erect such business or commercial advertisement within the highway limits and whish con- cludes with this sentence:
 Any advertisement in or upon a public highway in violation of the provisions of this subdivision may be taken down, removed, or destroyed by any one."
 That law went into effect yester- day, Sept. 1. Of course the Good Roads Committee of the club could have started it's actual campaign against the disdguring signs at mid night, but it repressed its zeal until dawn, and then the truck went out, manned by A. Ward Chamberlain of Croton Falls, one of the clubs mem- bers; two boys employed to assist him, the chauffeur, a photographer, and two reporters. 1t was well on in the afternoon when the truck for sock the Hoffman Boulevard and by that time it was comfortably loaded with signs-signs of every description and numbering fully a thousand. The truck will goAout again to-day; and 1t is the intention to keep up the good work for some time to come.
 The small army of destruction nov ed out across the city and took to Greensboro, by way of the Queens bor Bridge. Then it made for the Hoffman Boulevard, which, because Of some temporary road repairing, it had to reach by detour to the left, sweeping down on it triumphantly by way of the Union Turnpike. But the work of purging the scenery began before that. as
 At the corner of Jamaica Road and the Turnpike, Mr.. Chamberlain spied some advertisements adorning a tree. The chauffeur brought the truck to stop, and out piled the three-Mr Chamberlain and his two boys. A few hacks and the first sign fell. It was a cement advertisement. With it fell two other notices. which set forth respectively the merits of a machine oil and washing powder. The de- bris was gathered together and thrown on the floor of the truck. In climb ed the three, and away went the truck. That was the course of events for the greater part if the day.

He ascended from the track without difficulty and attained a height of 100 feet, but In attempting to make a turn the plane dipped and Frisbie lost control.
 As he came crashing to earth the spectators could see the aviator try ing to right the machine. but as it approached the ground one of the wings crashed into a bar and the bi- plane, glancing off, struck the earth with F'risbie underneath.

Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1911-12-21

The following sentiment excepted
from the Milwaukee Journal. and
which The Tribune readily endorses, is
deemed good, logical reading at this
particular time:
Is It necessary TO remind anyone that
Christmas is to be celebrated as the
birthday of Christ? To call to mind that
it was ordained that Christ should be
born among the lowly? To remember
the years of His life. not spent in luxur-
ious surroundings. and feasting, but
among those who needed His services,
the poor, the sick, or the sorrowing,
or those in any kind of trouble.
Christmas is time to be glad, to
create gladness. 1t is time to forgive
enemies. Think of the offenses that
you are holding in memory and see If
they are not deemed trihing things
and not to be !Gid up against one. 1t
is we'll to cultivate the real Chirtmas
spirit the spirit of good will and peace.
Too often one treasures resentment
for some injury which was not in the
least intentional. Most people need to
cultivate more forgiving spirit. Re-
member that if others have hurt your
feelings, without doubt you have also
hurtthe feelings of others. You make
excuses for yourself; do the same for
them who have offended you. Try to
forgive and to forget. 1t can be done,
1t is no excuse to say you are $50 SEN
sitive Others are sensitive also.
1t is well to pass by all small otfens-
es as if they were not. 1t gives one
the sense of being in the right. In
stead Of dwelling on your wrongs. be
thinking what kind thing you can do
for some one. Do not wait till you can
do some great good act and have your
praises sounded loud and far. Do the
little things that hourly come in your
way. Give the smile, the appreciatiye
word, the helping hand. Form the
habit of carrying sunshine and it will
be Christmas all the year. You have
your cares, your sorrows, your unful-
filled hopes. Your intimate friend will
know some of these and give you SYM
patty and encouragement. You need
not thrust the gloom of the private
sorrow out on those who cannot If they
wou.6 help you. They have troubles
enough Of their own. They need the
cheer that you can give them.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1911-12-21


The man who pays his bills at the
market and department store is the
man who supports his neighbor who
doesn't settle his obligation Ever stop
to think of that f" said a well known
travelling man one afternoon last week.
''You can bet it isn't the store-keeper
who loses anything from bad accounts.
This is how it's done
when concern is about to embark
upon a new year of business, or is
about to begin operations for the first
time, allowances are made for certain
fixed charges, including an allowance
for bad collections. These are added,
and the percentage Of profit to be
made during the year is determined
from it. OF course, fluctuations of
values, and few other things like
that, make differences, but | can tell
you that it's to every mans advantage
to see that bis neighbor keeps his ac-
counts straight.
Otherwise the community must pay
them"
