THE MAIL ORDER Fool,

Ninety per cent of the money
orders written at the local postoffice
are oing to Sears Roebuck & Com
pany. "a.
Why?
Simply because Sears Roebuck &
Co. know how to advertise. This
is proven by the fact that local mer-
chants themselves are among the
flock of fools who think they are
saving money by sending orders to
the mail order house. =
Take any page of Sears Roebuck
Il Go. catalog and compare with
local pric s, Where's the difference
Wool underwear for instance, is
quoted at not less than $500 by the
mail order house and you take a
chance On the fit. Any reputable
merchant in High Point will guaran
tee all wool underwear at that price
and refund your money if doesn'
fit.
Look at the catalog price of Mack
NAV coats-$8.25 is the loves
while any dealer will beat that pric,
by ten per cent. :
Go through the catalos from cove
to cover and compare prices. You'll
find you loss by sending to the mai
order house. -

LEVY TAXES ON "lNSIGNIA'"
English Government Makes Charge
for the Use Of Armoriat Bear
Inas and Things Like That.

If you wish to escape the clutches or
the law be very careful what you
wear in the way Of jewelry, what you
use on your notepaper, or what you
place in the way Of decorations on
your furniture, plate, carriage, or even
in your books, says an English paper.
Very unfortunate was the expert
ence of q London doctor who received
a ring from a grateful patient. one
day a London county council officer
called to inquire if the doctor had Ia
ken out a license for his motor car
and noticed that the doctor was wear
ing the ring in question with peoole'
on which there was a design-a garter
encircling hand.
"That's a crest" said the officer
and a few days later the doctor was
summoned for using armorial bearings
without license. .s>t
Since then many people have been
summoned for wearing rings on when
designs we're cut and for using note
paper bearing arms.
What are "armorial bearings"
They are defined as follows by tnt
sgovernment authorities:
i The term "armorial bearings" means
and includes any armoria1 bearings
crest or ensign, by whatever name tn
same shall be called, and wnetne

DEATH RECALLS SHOOTING.

The death of G. and o. Brakeman
Harry Traugott which resulted from
falling under the wheels OF NOV
ing train near Soldier tunnel on the
night of June End, recalls a time
when he was shot at last fall. On
that occasion he and another brake
man, whose name Is Daniels, were
running on this division of the G.
and o. They had had some trouble
with a man named Fitch, who had
leen in a scrap with the railroad
men and got the worst OF 1t. Fitch
went into house and armed him
self with a shot gun and lay in
wait for the men to come along on
their train. When 1t was passing
Fitch fired at them. both being
badly peppered with the shot but
neither was much hurt. Fitch, or
Fitzpatrick, as he is rightly nam
ed, fled but was soon caught. While
awaiting trial he was taken sick
with typhoid fever and now is de-
yeloping symptoms OF tuberculosis.
He is noninally under guard, but
II is doubtful II he ever becomes
able to stand a trial.
