CHICKEN THIEF LOSES BIRDS.

Chicken thieves We're busy on Main
street last night, but their efforts
were in vain after almost proving
successful. Mr.. j. D. Attlesey, living
OH the corner of Main and Church
streets, hearing a noise in his fo.rl
yard about ten o'clock, investigated
and jumped a negro with a sack Of
chickens.
The theft chung to his sack in the
foot race that followed, but in jump
ing the back garden fence, was forced
to drop it. The night prowler got
away, but Mr.. Attlesey secured the
sack in which he found not only his
own, but several of his neighbors'
Chickens
The police were notified, but as the
negro had made good his escape, min
us the chickens, it was useless to trv
to capture him.

starting and Lighting SYSTEM" said
Mr. bradt yesterday, because it is
81 the same type that is used on every
nigh priced car, namely, the true two
unit system with the starting motor
or n side and the lighting motor
on the other, giving an even distribu-
ton OF weight. 1t is a system too
that does not interfere in any wav
with the accessibility of the Ford car
as its assembly does not disturb any
Of the Ford parts but merely neces.
states the removal of five short
standard Ford bolts which are re-
placed by five longer bolts.
Other features that impress me
were the three-way bolt which drives
the fan, thus doing away with a noisy
chain, and the Ward Leonard reeu-
lator which automatically prevents
the battery from over-charging.
I'm a word, after examining the
plans of the A B c System l found
that it was just as effective and Just
as high in quality as the highest
priced system that is used on anv car.
There are over a million Ford
'ars in use now and it will not be
very long before there are another
million in commission, and l believe
nat with the competent, steady, re-
liable system of high-class quality ,

JEWISH NEW YEAR
ON SEPTEMBER %
More Orthodox Will Observe Thurs
day and Friday, September
the 28th and 18th.

Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New
Year, also called Yom Hazikoron
"Day of Memorial" falls this year on
Thursday, September 2Sth. 1t CON-
mences, however, the evening previ-
Gus, since in Bible usage the days are
counted from shutdown to shutdown.
The more orthodox will observe not
only Thursday but Friday as we'll, it
being their custom to keep a second
day in connection with practically all
the more important JEWS holidays
and festivals. This custom on their
part grew out of certain complex con-
ditions in the colonization of early
rabbinical times and the practice, once
established, has been kept up by them,
even though the original reason nc
longer obtains. The Reform Jews
observed only the day scripturally
prescribed. The date of Rosh Ha-
shanah is the first day of the month
OF Tishri and the New Year now to
be ushered in, is, according to the
traditional Jewish calendar the wear
5677.
Unlike January LIST, Rosh Hashanah !
has been fully able to resist seculari- !
zation. 1t is in form and spirit a holy
day acknowledgment a holiday. SOL
emn services characterize its observ.
ance both evening and morning. It is
a time dedicated to retrospection, in
trospection and resolutions for the fu-
ture. The day bears the special desig-
nation OF Yom ha-Din or a Day of
Judgment. With quaint mysticism the
old tradition represents the souls Of
as being on this day before the |
divine Tribunal at the annual a~ssizes
on high. The great Recording Books
lie open and the individual destinies /
are set down, but land this is the sig
nlllcant element in the c%onception) the
award in each given case must be
sealed by the person himself: mean.
ng thereby that, though the varying 7
ssues Of the New Year proceed from
Gods providence, no ones future il +
determined apart from what he him. +
eli Is and does. Out Of the above o
conception has grown up the familiar t,
,feetlng interchanged by Jews on P
