CHAUFFEUR KILLED BY
LARGE GRAVEL TRUCK

Harry Callahan, an employee of the
Holbrook Construction Company, met
with an accident Thursday morning
which resulted in his instant death.
1t seems that the young man,, who
was 27 years of age and unmarried,
and who had been driving a huge
truck for the above company in the
construction of a county road, started
to crank his machine, which was stor-
ed in Mason's Garage, while it was
in gear, with the result that the heavy
truck jammed him up against another
truck, MASKING his head badly and
otherwise crushing his body. Coroner
Munro viewed the remains and decid-
ed that an inquest was unnecessary
as the death was clearly the result of
an accident. The deceased leaves one
sister, who lives in West Chester, N.
Y, to which place the remains were
sent for interment.

FIELDS DISCUSSES
DEPARTMENT STORE.
Comedian Tells Why He Has Selected
This Business For His New
Production.

"Step This Way the musical sa-
tire which Lew Fields is presenting al
the Apollo Theatre this Friday and
Saturday evenings with Saturday
matinee, with a company of one hun
dred and twenty-five entertainers.
show girls, and dancing nymphs, has
for its locale that most gigantic OF
modern institutions, a big department
store. 1t is said that Mr.. Fields, him
self, inspired the author of the new
production, Edgar Smith, with the
idea for the satire. Be that as it
may, here is what Mr.. Fields, himself,
has to say on the subject of depart
ment stores:
One afternoon I had a strenuous
time exploring that wonder of Won
ders of modern civilizations big
New York store-and as my wife
happened to be my chaperon on the
expedition l acquired a pretty good
idea of the vast proportions of the
thing. Then one night about a week
afterwards as I lay awake turning
over in my mind various themes for a
musical comedy it occurred to me that
the department store of today might
be utilized for stage purposes. So l
obtained an introduction to the owner
of one of the big stores and he gave
me enough material to supply a doz-
en- funny shows. Human nature at
its best and worst is found in these
big stores. The greater the number
of persons allured to a store by spec
ial bargains the more chance you have
to study humanity. l mean that in
dividual persons are never just the
same; but masses of people averale
up about the same. One striking
phase of human nature that every
big store manager knows is the differ
enc between men and women buyers
seeking the same sort of article. But
the best place to study both sexes is
at the soda water counter. That is
why l have made this feature of a de-
partment store one of the principal
comedy themes in "Step This Way"

to keep us immune from war, just as
a loaded gun will bring any bully to a

What are we doing for Pleasant
vile? What are we doing to push it
along, to make it something more than
just a dot on the map? Ask yourself
the question first, and then ask others,
and keep on asking until we locate the
cause of our backwardness and take
steps to remedy the defects. This is
not a drifting age, and the town that
is content to just drift along will soon
learn that there is no place left in
which to ever drift. 1t is not a lack
of brains, because u people are
blessed with an abundance. 1t may
be, however, that we lack the initia-
tive that is necessary to keep pace
with the more thriving and prosper
Gus communities of the country. If
so, we should at once correct our fault
and move forward. We should grasp
every opportunity for improvement
and expansion that presents itself,
and when there are none in sight we
should go out and hunt them. Drift
ing will accomplish nothing but to
bury us beneath the enthusiasm and
prosperity of our neighbors. Now
who wants to drift? Not you, we
hope.

PRESIDENTIAL POINTERS

There were remarkable coinci-
dences in the lives of Abraham
Lincoln and Jefferson Davis.
Both were born in Kentucky,
Lincoln in 1909, Davis in 1903.
Both removed from their native
state in childhood, Lincoln to the
northwest, Davis to the south
west. Lincoln was a captain of
volunteers and Davis a second
lieutenant of regulars in the
Black Hawk war in 1882. They
began their political careers the
same year, 1874, Lincoln being a
presidential elector for Clay, and
Davis an elector for Polk. They
were elected to congress about
the same time, 1845 and 1916.
They were called to preside
over their respective govern
ments the same year, Davis in
February 8, 1861, Lincoln On
March 4, 1861.

GENERAL TRADE CONDITIONS

The fall of the year is naturally the
season of greatest trade activity, points
out the october business bulletin
issued by the National City Bank of
New York, and it continues: The
crops go ON the market at this time
and cause wide distribution of funds,
the preparations for winter mean a
heavy retail trade, the transportation
lines are usually at their maximum
traffic and nearly all industries are
normally busy. Last year the volume
of business crept slowly upward
through the first eight months and
rounded into full activity in the fall
Since then there has been no let up,
and about the only difference appar-
emit as we come again into the fall
season is that prices are rising. When
all agencies of production are driven
to capacity an increasing demand
works itself off in this manner Not
outstanding the fact that business
was good in September last year. bank
clearings in the month just closed were
about 40 per cent in volume above
that time. Railway traffic is up to the
OopoNA1S u biiC iiliSS+ SUI passing all
records, and complaints of car short
age are heard from many quarters.
There IS more confidence in the
/ future than has been felt at any time
in the last two years. This does not
mean that there are no apprehensiens
of an industrial slump after the war,
| but that with the profits of the last
year applied to Indebtedness or added
to resources, the position of the in
dustries is Inherently stronger. More
over, there is a feeling that business is
