Beware Of Fake-Price
Automobiles
Look Ahead (!

1t is a well-known fact that buyers
of 'cut-price' and "f2ke-price' ears
need look for nothing in the way Of
service OF care from the dealer.
The legitimate dealers effort is to
keep you OUT of trouble. TO have you
call frequently that your car may be
kept in best possible condition. The
other dealer WELCOMES trouble. for
it enables him TO CHARGE you for
work done on your car. He expects to
make his profit out Of pay-wOrk that
should be free-work. Unless he sees
a repair job he would prefer that you
never came near him again.
Service - future care should be
bought WITH your car.
Look ahead

CURING SPEED FIENnS.

The city of Portland. Ore, has dis covered what appears to be an in- fallible method of curing recklessness fin automobile drivers. for there has not been an automobile accident in Portland since its present automobile ordinance was adopted, about ten months ago. The Portland cure con- sists in imposition of sentence to city rock pile for exceeding the speed limits. A city ordinance makes such sentence mandatory. and there is nc alternative of fine.
 Tn the punishment of offenses against federal statutes the fedora courts in recent years have shown : tendency to send offenders to a pris on where prison sentences could bt imposed, and the tendency has beer salutary. Many man who does no fear the largest fine that could b, imposed by law dreads the possibilit. O. a prison sentence.

AN EXPLANATION THAT DOESN'T
 EXPLAIN.

The principal reason why the charges of pr. J. l.. Greene, former superintendent of the State Hospital for Nervous Disease, should not carry weight, according to the four de- posed members ot the charity boari, 1, that pr. Greene was born outside c: the South and has voted the Re- publican ticket. Had Dr. Greene been born in Arkansas doubtless he would always have voted the Demo- cratic ticket, but his birthplace was not of his selection, and he cannot justly be held responsible for the fact trat he was not born i'll Arkansas. The remainder of the boards eXpld- nation of Dr. Greene's charges IS along the same line. While the eX- planation specifically denies some of the charges, the greater part Of the several columns is an appeal to D, eiudice; an attempt to revive pas sions of reconstruction days. No wonder the brave Confederate veter- an. Gen. Thomas Green, stood Wlta Dr. Greene against these four mem. Lers of the board.

SHE'S NO MORE.

Once upon a time there used to be an d-fashioned woman who made a lot of Christmas presents. Made them, mind you. Manufactured them. And her machinery consisted of q Knitting needle. Her hours began after supper, and she stuck to the job until goodly line of Christmas pr esents were done.
 But she isn't much on the job of late. Those of her who are still Ill the land of the living are backward about their abilities. Perhaps they do mot wish to do unpopular things, o,l suggest to the young ones toe tcrcibly that they hail from by gone day.
 But grandma enjoyed Christmas, And maybe she pities the new genera tion that doesn't get as much out oi 1t as she did with her knitting needle and kerosene lamp.

First Epistle of Paul to the
 CORINTHIANS.
CHAPTER 6.


 Dare any of you having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
 2. Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you. are ye unworthy to judge the smallest mat ters?,
 3. tKnow ye not that we sial, judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
 4. If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
 ,. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
 6. But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbeliev- CTS.
 2. Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye so to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be de- frauded?
 s. Nay, ye do wrong, ana de1raud, and that your brethren.
 9. Know ye not that the unrlght- eous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornl- cators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abuse of them selves with mankind.

Book Windows.

Books are the windows through which the soul looks out. A home without books is like room without windows. No man has right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It Is wrong to his family. He cheats them' The love of knowledge comes with reading, and grows upon It. And the love of knowl edge. in a young mind. is almost war rant against the interior excitement oi passions and vices: --Henry, Ward Beechar.

TINE BLUFF R0GRESS 1 PROSPERITY
INCONSISTENCY OF CONGRESS-

One million dollars was appropriat- ed by congress on Monday to be used i. Investigating the foot and mouth disease among cattle, that, if possible 2 cure for the disease may be found. Absolutely nothing is known of this disease, which spreads so rapidly, and already cattle valued at millions of dollars have been killed. The South has no fault to find with con- eress for making this appropriation, but it is impossible to avoid noting how some congressmen's attitude as to this appropriation contrasts with tFeir attitude toward legislation for the relief of the Southern cotton grower.
 One of the arguments advanced by cl ponents of propositions for federal oaid for the cotton grower was that favorable action would be class legis- lation. It is difficult to conceive how action by congress to maintain the value of cotton can be consider ed any more class legislation than this appropriation for the study oi the foot and mouth disease. Unless the cattle disease is checked the en- tire country will be affected. The lew price of cotton has already af. fected the entire country.
 
 Apparently the real reason for the inconsistent attitude of some con- gressmen is that most of the cattle are grown outside of the South, while all the cotton is grown in the South

Actors Don't Use Walking Sticks.

 There is one profession that has al' ways refrained from carrying a walk ing stick. The actor knows we'll that on the stage he must walk without extraneous support, and he knows that the mere hint of walking stick in his hand as he walks the streets is 9 temptation to lean this way or that. Actors, even when out of a job, never lean on a stick. They know that their balanced walk is their asset. If the whole of society recurs to walking sticks the actors will refrain.

Ypres, gaining at one place more than $40 yards of ground and at others se- curing a firm footnold ill mutually coveted positions.
 The Germans are bitterly contestlng the French advance against Muelhaus- en. where the fighting is on German territory, and the official statement of the french war office admits 9 check in front of Steinbach by Prus- sians advancing from Ufholz, two miles away.
 The statement asserts, however, that though the German infantrymen gain ed a foothold ln this region, the French still maintain their positions on the heights which dominate Stem bach. The advance here has reached to within twenty miles of Muelhausen, a short distance east of the line held by the French ill their invasion of Alsace in August.
 The allies line to the east of Nle4- port now extends from s point just inland from the coast where the sand dunes end, along the western edge of the town of Lombaertzyde, southWard to the farm of St. Georges.
 The significance of this advance will best be realized when it is recall cd that it was through this corridor along the coast that the Germans a month ago planned to cut their way to Dunkirk and Calais.

CANARY POPULAR IN PARIS
Every Street In French Capital Eohos
With the Song Of That Tune
full Bird.

The Partisan has an amiable weak
ness for the canary. Every street
echoes with the song of this bird, and
during holiday times when families
are away there are concierges whose
more or less restricted quarters are
positively numbered with cages Of
canaries. But in or out Of the sea-
son the bird market Is held every Sun
day of the year In the City Island,
and there is always a lively trade
in canaries. One venerable ornitholo-
gist who dwells near the market has
spent his life in teaching canaries
to sing, and he has, after years OF
effort, produced pure white canary
with a song as powerful and sweet as
any yellow or green bird ever sold.
The supply of the white canaries be-
ing at present very limited, those sold
at the Paris market have brought COM
paratively high prices. These birds
are as white as any dove and with
out speck on their plumage.
The Partisan has his own special
way of transporting his canaries to
the cage that awaits them at his
home. The bird is placed in a small
paper bag and pinned to the lapel OF
his coat
