HIS IS
He DAY
THEY CO.
Dictionary Day" The Distribution
Begins Come EARLY for Yours
Books are Ready.

Today is Dictionary Day. Come
early and avoid the rush Of the wise
ones who will seek to take advantage
of The Pioneers offer of a new Web
tsterian 1912 Dictionary, Illustrated,
for six coupons clipped from six con-
secutiye issues of the paper and a
small expense bonus.
Judging from the crowds that have
been examining the volumes during
the last few days, they are going to
go like the proverbial hot cakes.
So far the flexible black leather
binding Of No. style has made that
type of book the favorite.
1T looks like a Bible" is what they
all say. The comment is justified, as
the book is made up of the best
print on the best Bible paper. In
fact, as the work is almost indispens-
able, the dictionary should be placed
beside the Bible on every bookshelf,
no matter whether if he five or fifty
feet in length. In appearance it is
a fit companion volume of the best
Bible ever printed.
This dictionary is not published
by the original publishers of Web
ster's Dictionary or by their success.
sors. -, L...,.s... .f... ~,
! A dictionary of such common sense
size and compiled in such compre-
henslve manner is just as indispens-
able to the business man as the tele-
phone book or the city directory.
1t is not how much knowledge YOU
| have, but how much knowledge YOU
use, that counts in your work, and it
is the same with books. You might
have the largest dictionary or ency-
clopedia in the world, but it would
not do you as much good as the die
! tlonary which The Pioneer offers it's
readers. The volume is small enough
to keep constantly at your elbow and
you will use it ten times to the once
you will cross the room to consult the
I
big Webster's on the stand or table ::
and that you will use it a hundred
times more than you will use a Ii
brary or encyclopedia.
| A well-known business man ex-
planned yesterday why he was clip
ping the dictionary coupons. A WISH
tor noticed that he was preparing to
secure the New Dictionary and ex-
pressed his surprise, as he had a. big
volume of Webster's in his office.
| Il want that flexible leather die
! tionary," he said. "It's the handiest
| book of the kind I've ever seen and
the most complete. Do you know
most people don't realize how many
new words are placed in our language
every year. This book is up-to-date
and l need it in my business. It's
dollars to doughnuts that I'll use it
ten times as much as I ever use that
cumbersome one. This Pioneer book
is Carnegie library at your elbow. "

Reflections and Flowers,

If you would always achieve tho
best effects with your flower decorar
tons you should consider which of the
colors you have to select from will
take most kindly to artificial lights.
Some qualities of electric lights show
the colors almost as by daylight, while
Others produce different effects. Blues
and Violets are to be avoided, as they
take on dull appearance when
spread beneath the glow of the artif1-
cial lights. With lilac tones, however,
the color is intensified and there are
some shades Of purple which lend
themselves we'll to such lighting. If
you would be sure and safe in your
choice of decorations, white. red and
yellow flowers are at their best under
any lighting effect, whether it be day
light or artificial light.

Necessity Of Good Nature.

There is no society or conversation
to be kept up in the world without
good nature, or something which must
bear its appearance, and supply its
place. For this reason mankind have
been forced to invent q kind Of arti-
fetal humanity, which Is what we ex-
press by the word good breeding. !"

OF what we call SO, we shall find It til
be nothing else but an imitation and
nimicry Of good nature, or, in other
terms, affability. complaisance and
easiness Of temper reduced into an

Hon. Harry St. George Tucker in
StauntOn Monday

Hon. Harry ST. George Tucker
was the chief speaker at a Demo
cratic rally in Staunton Monday.
Tuesday 5 Daily News says of the
address:
Hon. Harry Tucker delivered an
address yesterday that warmed the
cookies in the hearts of all his hear
ers. The audience was large and
naturally enthusiastic and Mr..
fuckers message was everything
that could have been desired. What
especially pleased and encouraged
us was the manner in which he
dwelt upon the need for party har-
mony in this the greatest struggle
the party has ever been engaged
in. He preached the straight doc
trine OF Democratic cooperation, the
suhJection Of personal issue and
acrimonious friction, and pointed to
the virtue of abandoning all petty
jealousies and complaints and con-
centrating effort on the election and
installation Of the Democratic party.
The supreme question is that OF
recovering this nation to Democrat
ic control and to that end Mr.. Tuck
or devoted all his energy and sum-
moned every art of Oratory. 1t was
a great speech and will do much
good. We thank him for it from
the bottom Of a grateful heart.

Murder Will Out"

Several weeks ago a well-knowI
young man Of this community pro
cured a marriage license from the
county clerks office, and requested
that the matter be kept a profound
secret until the marriage ceremony
had been performed. The newspa
pers complied with this request ano
did not publish the item. A few
days ago, however, the young mar.
10 t letter from his fiancee in which
details of the marriage were dis
cussed, and of course the matter
now is public property, hence this

ROCKBRIDGE TO THE FRONT

The liberal response of Rock
bridge Democrats in their contribu
ton of 81, 1000 to the Democratic
National Committee, places this
county in the lead. The Wilson and
Marshall Club, with only a week S
notice, raised ove- $500, and liber-
al and enthusiastic and public
spirited gentleman OF the communi-
ty gave 81 .OOO A check for 81, 300
was sent to the committee. A con
tribution of 500 had already been
sent some weeks before, making ST.
400 for Rockbridge. Other contri-
buttons will be sent later.
This contribution represents
about one dollar for each Democrat
in the county. At the last presi-
dental election there were 1000
Democratic votes cast in Rock
bridge. At this estimate, $40 each
is represented by the contribution
Rock bridge responds nobly to the
call, and has met her obligations Of
one dollar for every Democrat.
Should other counties of the State
give as literally, Virginia would
help wonderfully in helping to elect
Woodrow Wilson president of the
United States.

Sunday Mail Distributed

The recent order Of the PostOffice
Department forbidding the putting
up OF mail in boxes on Sunday, in
compliance with an act OF Congress,
was enforced in the Lexing ton office
for several Sundays, but this last
Sunday the mail was distri buted in
the boxes Sunday night after the ar
rival of the mail on the Chesapeake
and Ohio, and the holders of lock
boxes got their Sunday papers and
other mail as usual.
The new law was supposed to be
for the benefit OF the postoffice EN-.
pioyees, enabling them to have Sun
day off duty, but instead, they we're
required to separate the incoming
mail and dispatch outgoing mail.
Special delivery mail had to be de.
livered, as well as certain other
classes. All arriving mail had to be
ready for the rural carriers Monday
m ;rning, " hi III necessitated SUNDAY
night work or beginning Monday
morning at unusual hours. In a
great many Offices the law worked a
hardship on the clerks instead OF
affording the relief intended. In
consequence the letter OF the law
has not been enforced.
The policy OF the Postoffice De-
partnent is to provide the greatest
accommodation to the patrons of
pOstOffices consistent with the rights
and comfort OF the employees.
