On the Spur
of the Moment
By ROY x. MOCLTON.

Bunk.
II got an idee," said Farmer Brown.
There's too much bunconbe float
Ing arouns
You can't go here and you can't go
there,
And you can't go travelin' anywhere,
But what some Teller is on your trail
With a sure investment that cannot
fail
He tells you how you kin git rich
quick,
And his method, it sounds purity dog
gone slick.
He tells you how to make dollars
grow
Until you will jes' be rollin' in dough.
He'll sell you mine stock fer song
That's going to be double before very
long.
And he puts up such a winning spiel
You feel yourself ownin' an oatmobile,
A place in the country and one in
town,
And a private yacht fer a dollar
down.
But hang onto your dough fer a
rainy day,
And make your money in the good old
way.
Save up your dollars as wise folks
do,
And the poorhouse never will yawn
for you"

Uncle Abner.
There amt no use in getting sore
at a Teller who wears a green hat
with bow behind. Maybe his folks
didn't teach him no better when he
was young.
Some fellers are so anxious to stand
in with the administration that they
would even drink grape juice.
One of the pleasant things in this
life is to see a baldheaded Teller
on a street corner sellin' hair restorer.
There are a lot of fellers in this
world who don't live up to the adj
vance notices passed out about them
when they were ten months old.
There are still lot of old-fashioned
fellers in this country who get purity

There amt so much difference be-
tween a nickel cigar and a ten-cent
cigar after all. When a Teller buys a
nickel cigar it takes nickePs with
of matches to keep it goin'.
One needed invention is o two-piece
suit that will last two seasons.
The Teller who gets excited may
splash around quite a lot, but the
quiet Teller knocks off the persim-
mons.

Gertson, Aviator
Will Give Exhibition

Spectacular flying, something
that Chesterfield County has
never seen, is scheduled for next
week when Louis Gertson the
world famed birdman will give
an exhi bition in the art of flying
at Chesterfield County Fair
Louis Gertson, according to con-
tract, will arrive one day ahead
of time, bringing his biplane and
a staff of mechanics. The avia,
tor will ordinarily flv from TWEEN.
ty minutes up, weather permit
ting of course, and will attain an
altitude of not less than 1000
feet. He will also fly as close to
the ground as it is possible to
do. The aviation exhibition,
which is to take place, Is with
out doubt the most popular ar
Hanged program that any aviator
could attempt to carry out. He
will do stunts within the grounds
that hardly seem possible for
anyone to do without wrecking
his machine.
The main point in Aviation
meets Is to see how the machine
gets off the ground, aid in fact
inspect the machine itself, as
well as to see how close to the
ground they can fly, and do just
as good work as though they
were high in the air. Many peo-
pie imagine that by standing
outside of the grounds, they can
see flights, just as we'll as if
they were within the grounds.
This is not the case, because it
gives very poor idea of the
workings of the machine.
Louis Gertson has been very
successful in all Of his attempts
at aviation ard has practically
met with few accidents, none Of
them serious. While some of his
attempts have been more daring
than others, and the fact that he
recently made a record breaking
flight at Petuluma, Califonrla to
Santa Rosa, q distance of 14H
miles, in II minutes and 80 Sec
onds, goes to show that he must
be something of an aviator. In
this flight just mentioned he got
away apparently with as much
ease bird, which goes to show
that a man can run an aeroplane
AZ easily as he can run an auto
mobile, providing he is not too
careless.

Execution
oflMiss Cavell

On the mornIl, g of October 12
Miss Edith Cavell, an English
nurse, was shot at Brussels by a
German firing squad In accord
ance with the sentence of the
German military court. She had
Deen arrested Aug. s, with thir-
ty-four others on the charge of
aiding British and French SOL
diers and Belgian young men to
escape from Belgium and enter
the Allied armies. 1t appears
from the evidence that she used
the medical instiIute at Brussels,
OF which she was principal, to
shelter soldi ers and recruits an
til they could be carried away
by night to the Dutch border.
After a trial eight of the accused
Kere condemned to death. At
be solicitation of the Pope, the
ling of Spain and the American
Am bassador at Berlin, the Kaiser
perdcned the Countess de Belle
vile and some others, but Miss
Cavell was executed the morn
ing after her sentence, although
Brand Whitlock, the American
Minister to Belgium, used his
utmost efforts to have the sen.
tence suspended long enough for
ar appeal to the emperor.

the court was frank and courage

PROHIBITION
DOES PROHIBIT
Capital City Brewing Company Of
Indianapolis Finds That II
Does So EttectuaNy.

indianapolis, Ind, June 19-That
prohibition does prohibit is the testi-
mony of the Capital City Brewing
company of this city. Representa-
tives of the company yesterday ap-
peared before the board of equaliza-
tion to ask that their assessment be
materially reduced. In support of
their petition they claimed that the
spread of prohibition during the past
few years has greatly reduced the
value of brewing stock. Reginald
Sullivan, receiver for the company,
declared that he receives letters every
day from breweries in states that
have gone dry begging him to buy
their equipment at 19 cents on the
dollar. Mr.. Sullivan declared that the
equipment for brewery of $4,000 bar
rels annual capacity could be bought
for $4,000.
On the strength of these represen-
tations the board reduced the assess
ments of the Capital City company
from $4,000 to s2S,00O.

CHARGE IT UP TO LIQUOR

has been at the head of the institution
for ten years, says in that time 10000
persons have been brought to him and
that NINETY-TWO PER CENT OF
THE INMATES ARE BROUGHT
THERE BY THE LIQUOR ROUTE.
That means that were it Lot for sa-
looms and the liquor traffic, instead of
the inmates numbering 4,40O a year
they would number but 1852. Think
of the lessened expense of main
tenance and then think of the dimin-

is principally taken up in hearing the
cases, to say nothing of the increased
number of happy homes and manly
men, we're the saloon abolished and

result and unless the Inflammation
