Three Cigarette Faults
to Avoid

First, avoid cigarettes that
don't just suit your own taste.
Second, avoid those that
bother your throat or tongue.
Third, avoid those that
make you feel mean" after
smoking an you want.
If Fatimas, for instance,
seem to you to be guilty on
any ono Of those three counts.
we say, avoid Fatfulaa.

Fatimas can't possibly please

do that. But FatiYnas do please

should try them.
Another reason 10 because

The Tale of a Ford.

Once upon a time there lived a
man who bought a car-not a Ford
but a car. The name was Over
land and it was modelled after pre-
tentious lines and cost pretentious
sums of money. One day this spring
the driver with the big Overland car
attempted to turn around on the
highway to Homer just after =
heavy rain. The result was that the
car was backed too far and went in
to ditch. The driver got out. Like
wise the passengers and all together
pushed or pulled. No use; the car
never budged. Along came young
man with a Ford roadster. He stop
ped. "Can I do anything to help
you?" he called. "No, guess not"
came the reply. The driver Of the
Ford was undaunted. "Have you
got a chain or cable, or something
of that sort?" he asked. No, they
had nothing. "Get a piece of barb
ed wire around here somewhere, and
1 will pull you out" The wire was
found. 1t was hitched from the Ov-
erland to the Ford, and-chug,
chug, chug, out came the Overland,
while the Ford went on it's way re-
ioicing.

A Curious Find.

H. B. Hummel found big chunk
of lead in the shape of round ball
Saturday in the vicinity of the
new high school building, northeast
of the Catholic church, while pass
ing that locality. 1t weighs twelve
pounds and where it came from or
how it got there seems to be some
thing of a mystery. The ball is COW
cred with dirt as if it might have
been dug up in some garden or when
the eXcavating was done for the
street curbing. Mr.. Hummel hap
pened to see it in passing and his
curiosity caused him to give it a
kick, when he was surprised to find
it was so heavy. He picked it up and
brought it down town and the cur
ious are trying to unravel the mys-
terry of where it came from It looks
like a cannon ball but they are not
made of lead, at least not in this day
and age. rus" Clark, who examin-
ed it, suggests that perhaps Yep
pelin airship has been dropping
bombs or other missiles in this To-
cality.
