The New Leaf

This is the day for turning over the new leaf. What a hoard of good resolutions have been stored up to take effect on this day. Here man is going to quit smoking but but not chewing. There a mau is going to quit chewing but will con- ti.. ue to smoke a little. That other man swears off from drink, today. One woman has decided to quit be- ing scold. Susie has resolved from this day to be better help to her mother and Willie has given his sacred word pot to be '11ic,.I. to his little brother any more.
 He who is to smoke no more may smile a little at the resolution of the one time scold and the scold that was may smile at the mans pledge. Willie is disposed to smile at Susie, and Susie visa versa.
 Seriously, it is matter of deep regret that of the millions of pledg- es dated this New Years day, many will be broken. No matter what the pledge may be, the maker of the pledge binds himself by his sacred word and his strength of character is put to test. All honor to those who remain true to their word during the coming year.
 Let not one of us be stumbling block to a maker of a good pledge, during this new year.

to compete with the Parcels Post?
 What if Uncle Sam should take over the telegraph and el:phone lines of this country, combine them and run them for service, not pro- fit? Wouldn't telephones then be- come far more common than now? Postage stamps are to be found in every home. With the government in charge of the telephone service don't you suppose there woold soon be telephone in just about every home?
 What do you think of the idea |? The pest master general proposed it and it is meeting with remark able amount of favor in con tress. Think 1t over
 There are certain public utilities whose generol use is particularly essential to thriving business and to the general good. The post off ice is one of them. ATS not tele- graph and telephone services two others? If these wefe in the hands of the government, wouldn't they be far more generally used? That would, of course, stimulate busi- ness and better serve the pubic.

When Telephones Are As Com
 mon As Postage Stamps

That heading sounds a little overdrawn, at first thought, but nevertheless it bears print.
 Postage stamps weren't always so common. Would they be so com mon, today, if the government did not have charge of the postal ser vice? Suppose postal sevice were in the hands of private concerns and run for profit like many other public service utilities. Would hostage be so cheap, or would we find it about where the express rates were before they were lowered

.SiYA'S TOGGERY
DISPLAY TIMELY
AND APPROPRIATE
Handsomely Dressed Windows
Indicate Possibilities For
Christmas Shoppers

Maintaining its policy of handsome
end effective shop-window decorations
for the holiday season, Silva's Tog-
gerry is making a series of fine dis
plays this year. And the appropriate
haberdashery goods shown in the WIN
dow are borne our in the well-stocked
shelves and counters.
Anticipating good trade for the
holiday time Mr.. Silva selected a
stock of unusual merit for it's gift
choosing possibilities and has display
ed the goods so artistically as to show
! them Off to the best advantage.
The lines that have appealed to
most buyers are neck-wear, handker'
chiefs, pajamas, clothing, shirts, stock.
ings and novelties for dress wear.
Siiva's line of neckwear is a reve-
latioH to the shopper who has knowF
edge and appreciation of fine silks
and beautiful patterns. While there
is a wonderful assortment of medium
priced neckwear there is also a
wealth of ties at higher prices, anG
anyone looking at and handling the
finer grades will instantly recognize
the values in them
Silva's is the Mecca for men choos-
ing gifts for men friends and rela-
tiyes, and particularly for women who
know the virtue of buying gifts for
men from a store which the recipients
would choose to buy from themselves.
But the main, thing about Silva's
Toggery to the man about town-and
his wife-is the feature of personal
service. Mr. Silva and his corps of
statesmen are not only efficient along
the usual lines of knowing their stock
and of being able TO pass out exactly
the right thing deliberately asked for.
but they go further than that-they
help the tired shopper to make good
choice of gifts.
