MAIL CLERK UTTERS PROTEST
Have Habit of Pinning Their
Written Sheets Together.

'If people must stick pins into their
letters, l wish they would cover up
the points so that they wouldn't push
through said a mail clerk whose
hands were dis1gured by tiny scratch
es. Il must get about a hundred digs
day from pins that systematic folks
use to hold their correspondence to-
gether. | never could make out, any
how, why so many letters need to be
finished OF with pin.
''Of course, understand that about
half of those written by women have
a postscript in the shape of samples of
dress goods or newspaper cuttings,
which perhaps require pin or two to
hold them in place, but even that habit
cannot account for the large number
: OF letters that come through the post
once with a pin sticking out OF one
corner.
IL have come to the conclusion that
many writer's so mail their manuscript
with malicious intent 1t may not be
us fellows in the postoffice against
whom they hold a grudge, but we are
the ones that usually get the benefit
OF those pins"

Misusinq the Dictionary.

1t is not the use, but the misuse Of
the dictionary that is deplorable,
writes Robert J. Menner in The Allan
tic. When one happens upon a strange
word it is quite natural to refer to
the dictionary, both for it's meaning
ana it's pronunciation. The pronun-
citation of technical terms of an art or
science with which we are unfamiliar
can often be learned in no other way.
But when the dictionary is appealed
to as an infallible however unreason-
able judge, when monstrosities and
century-old fossils are exhumed from
its pages to be Haunted in the faces
of our friends, it is time to recall it's
true function of mere recorder.
If we should use our energies, spent
in this pleasant but absurd revival of
antiquities, in occasionally noticing
pronunciations which, though COM
mon, slight rejection would prove to
be at least extremely careless, we
should appease the goddess of ortho-
epy in much more satisfactory man
ner.

CADILLAC AGAIN AWARDED
DEWAR RELIABILITY TROPHY
Coveted Prize Awarded American Car
for Second Time in Five Years
Strenuous Tests by z. A. C. That
Determined Winner

Bearing the distinction of being the
only make of car in the world to du-
plicate the achievement, the Cadillac
car has again been awarded the Sir
Thomas Dewar trophy by the Royal
Automobile Club of Great Britain
for all around vehicle efficiency and
reliability demonstrated in a series of
exhaustive tests made under the
supervision of that body 1t was five
years ago that the Cadillac first won
the trophy as the direct result of the
degree of standardization of its parts.
A stock car was dismantled and dupli-
Gates for 50 of its parts, selected from
stock, used in rebuilding it; only
screwdrivers and vrenches were per-
mitted in the rebuilding.
The test just completed, whereby
the Cadillac is awarded the trophy
for the second time, involved driving
over 1000 miles of give-and-take roads:
a careful compilation of fuel and oil
used-the fuel consumption figured
out at I'LL miles to the gallon and
the oil at less than one pint per / 900
miles: tabulation of the number of
times the electric starter and the
electric rear axle gear change was
used; the time the lamps were burn
ing, etc. During the test, the speed
was maintained practically constant
at 1915 miles an hour. The starter
was used 100 times and at the con-
clusion of the test cranked the engine
1000 times without falter. All the
lamps were continuously lighted for
&c hours II minutes, though at the
end of the trial the side, rear and
speedometer lights continued to burn
for 20 hours longer. The two-speed
rear axle mechanism was operated
go times without fail. adv

Dead City of Asia.

OF the seven cities of Asia, perhaps
Sardis has the most interesting and ro-
mantle history, and yet, with all it's
wealth, it's famous rulers, it's wise
counselors, its victorious armies, it
was the greatest failure of them all.
The richest man in the world, Croe-
sus, was king of Sardis; the wisest
man, Scion, was her guest. and yet.
through overconfidence and lack of
watchfulness, time and again it was
surprised, conquered and all but de-
stroyed, until at last the disintegrat-
ing rock and soil from it's own citadel,
loosened by the winter rains, and
hurled down by destructive earth
quakes, buried the city 80 feet deep
from the sight of man. 1t became a
dead city, and it was buried by the
forces of nature.-The Christian Her
aid

REGULAR SPRING WEATHER

Aren't we having just the finest
weather you ever experienced ?" is
the question everybody has been ask
ing the past week. And indeed they
have been justified in thinking it was
the finest ever. We have had balmv
spring breezes from the south and so
warm that a fire in stoves or furnaces
has been uncomfortable at times
On Wednesday the thermometer
showed As above; Thursday so: Friday
60 and Saturday g. Most of the time
it has been foggy, cloudy and Friday
night big lot of rain fell. However
the week has established record for
warmth for the latter part of Novem-
Der. 1t turned colder on Saturday
night and while Sunday was full of
sunshine, it was snappy. In some
parts OF our state, dandelions have
blossomed and every indication that
even nature had been fooled into
thinking spring was coming. There
is no doubt aboutit it was our Indian
summer, though devoid of much sun
shine.

How to Wed.

Why should not the church which
solemnizes marriage go behind the
ceremony, encouraging young people
to wed and giving them needed in,
struction concerning marriage life?
Just this the New York diocese of the
Protestant Episcopal church proposes
to do. In the discussion of the mar
rage problem it was unanimously
agreed that health certificates should
be required for marriage. The much
greater problem OF how the church
is to bring young people together with
marriage as the aim and how to make
the married state happy and perrna-

Declare War on Colds,

A crusade of education which aims

EVEN FLOWERS MUST LABOR
Nature Demands Its Toll From Every
Living Thing, and Accepts
No Excuses.

However fine and dainty a flower
may look, it is pressed to do a great
service and it's colors and forms are
all suited to it's work. 1t must bring
forth the fruit, or the continuity of
plant life will be broken and the
earth will be turned into a desert ere
long.
er are all for some purpose, therefore
no sooner is it fortified by the bee,
no sooner does the time OF its fruition
arrive, than it sheds it's exquisite pet
ais and cruel economy compels it
to give up its sweetest perfume. 1t
has no time to fiaunt its finery, for it
is busy beyond measure.
Viewed from without, necessity
seems to be the only factor in Ma
ture, for which everything works and
moves. There the bud develops into
the flower, the flower into the fruit,
the fruit into the seed, the seed into a
new plant again, and so forth, the
chain Of activity running on unbroken.
Should there crop up any disturbance
or impeachment, no excuse would be ac-
cepted and the unfortunate thing so
choked in its movement would at
once be labeled as rejected, and be
bound to die and disappear post haste
In the great Office of Nature there
are innumerable departments with
endless work going on, and the fine
flower that you behold there, gaudily
attired and scented like a dandy, is
by no means what it appears to be,
but rather is like laborer toiling in
the sun and shower who has to sub
nit a clear account of his work, and
has no breathing space to enjoy him
self in playful frolic.-Rabindran
Tagore, in the Atlantic Monthly.

GOOD LANDS.

During the tramp through the
northern part of the state recently
we found that the soil there is much
better adapted for potatoes than is
the soil in this county. 1t may be
some crop to raise 223 bushels on less
than an acre, but if the natives may
be believed the crops in the north run
from 80 bushels per acre up, several
making claims of 600 bushels. We
want to add that no better potatoes
are raised anywhere. jefferson Ban
ner.
Such is the report of all who visit
the upper country where the best
cheap lands on the continent pre-
vail. They are rapidly being settled
by men of means from Illinois, Iowa,
and other middle western states
men who know good soil and appre-
ciate good environments. November,
1913, will probably be the best month
in the history of the state as to the
settlement of our vacant lands.
