Garry It Home"

In the effort at nation wide &c
OnOmy, no one move will have
greater effect. provided it be sys
tematically and universally prac
ticed, than the move to eliminate
the expense of special delivery OF
commodities, that has grown to
such enormous proportions in this
country.
For many years now the custom
has been growing with the growth
of the telephone service, until in
almost any part of the country if
the lady of the house wants q paper
of pins or the man of the house
needs thrasher or an auto, a tele-
phone call brings one to the door
as readily and as promptly as the
other.
This is peculiarly a modern prac-
tice. Our fore fathers carried or
hauled home their purchases. We,
under the spur of necessity, can
and should be likewise.
There are two angles to the pro-
posed reform that should appeal to
the public. First, the direct saw
ing to the purchaser. This, in the
aggregate, is bound to be enormous,
as the expense of delivery through
out the country has grown to huge
proportions Second the releasing
for other and more needed service
the immence capital and equip
ment now tied up in the special
delivery of merchandise. Thousands
upon thousands of horses, wagons
autos, trucks say nothing of the
men and boys-are now engaged in
this work, which is to a large ex.
tent entirely superfluous. There is
vital need in other channels for
all of this force, and it should be
released and made available where
1t is so badly needed.
Among the economic reforms none
Is more important. Get the Garry
It Home spirit. You will profit
by it, the Dealer will profit by it.

1t Is necessary that her resources
be SO marshaled and organized as
to be most effective. The manufac-
turing interests of this state are
among those Of vital Importance.
To become effective organization

ment of your governor. recently,
visited Washington, d. c., in the
interest OF Colorado. That CON-
mittee., in cooperation with the
Special representative Of the Denver
Manufacturers Association, did effec-
tive work, especially in presenting
the vast resources of our State.

concerted action among our citizens.
Therefore, |, Julius c. Gunter,

quest the various manufacturing
enterprises of this state to send a
representative to q conference to be
held in Denver in the house OF re-
presentatives at 2:3O o'clock on

purpose of effecting such organiza-
tfOn among our manufacturers, dis
cussing the questions which con-
Germ them and our people and bring
ing about the cooperation which
national and state conditions de
mand, Respectfully, Julius C. Gun

Editor Il Bsrstsd yer Local That

Madam Rum0r. has 1t that there
is to be q big double wedding stag
ed in Holly sometime this fall or

mitted to give any of the particu-
lars but we'll tip 1t OF to you in

The above paragraph appeared
in the local columns OF the Chief
tain last week, and harmless. as it
appears, it seems to have stirred up
some little cOmmotiOn. Several of
the boys took it that our popular
druggist, C. E. Haskins. who has
/, been q confirmed old bach for
many years, was to figure as one Of
cthe parties and made no hesitancy
in telling him so. all of which is
said TO have irritated Mr.. Haskins.
very much.
Now Just why they should think
the article referred to Mr., Haskins
is mystery to us-as we did not
intend to be that plsin about it
and Mr.. Haskins has demanded
that we say 1t. "aint So, OF
course, we want to be absolutely
fair with everyone SO we do not
hesitate moment to give you his
version of it-this does not necess-
arily mean that you are to believe
or not to believe it-but we want to
square Olrself with Haskins so we
give you his side of the story. He
says, 1T amt So"
OF course, II 1t was 80 we presume
that Mr.. Haskins would come right
out and tell you-old bachelors
are generally that proud. that they
can't keep the good news to them
selves and 60 about telling everyone
when it's going to be and who's
who" But since he says, ut amt
no." there seems to be nothing to
tell. Only we were Just thinking,
as how, it wouldn't be so bad after
all II it was so for Mr.. Haskins is
a good clean sort Of fellow. keen
business man, tactiful and well
liked By all who know him. To
gether with his partner, Mr.. Bean,
they have builded an excellent drug
business at this point and are
elassed among our most popular
and influential business men, and
as We were saying, it wouldn't be
SO bad after all, II he did fall to
Cupids charms.
Anyhow, we hope that II Mr..
Haskins does change his mind
that he will be as fair with us as
we have been with him and tell us
in plenty OF time 80 that we can
say after all as how 1T is true"

BaffIeplanes "PIaY Dead
ard Roll Over" at Front

When planes are fighting high In
the air and one suddenly finds HIM
self in a tight corner, he plays dead"
That is, he shoots vertically up into
the air, turns over on his back and
literally falls, head first, rolling over
and over. Stimulating all the motions
Of a plane whose pilot has been
killed and which is utterly out OF
control. SO deceptive are those
movements that 1t is impossible to
tell the difference very often from
the real thing.
Today ] saw a good example Of how
this playing dead" works out. Lieu
tenant A, flying at an altitude OF three
miles. well above the clouds. encoun-
tered two enemy machines. lie dived
at the nearest and az short range fired
short burst into II from his machine
gun. II pitched on It's nose, and with
smoke coming out OF It's fuseloge went
plunging and spinning into the clouds
below.
II so happened that pilot belonging
to an entirely different squadron hap
pened TO be patrolling under the clouds
above which the fight took place. In
his report he mentioned seeing an en-
emy plane, OF a certain type, fall In
flames out Of the clouds over his head
and. burning n@cely crash to the
earth at such and such a spot.
As both time and place and the cir
cumstances coincided exactly with the
report Of Lieutenant A. Lieutenant A
was credited with bringing down the
German plane. But for this accident
Evening journal., 1917-10-19

his dght would have netted his record
nothing.
Whenever possible the victor in a
fght in the air follows the falling plane
to the ground and actually sees II
smash TO bits. When this happens
to onlookers on the ground, it appears
exactly as II both planes are falling
for the one which follows must put
his plane into a "nose-spln" and fall I'm
the wake Of the other like a stone. II
Is only when the pursuing plane sees
his victim crash that he, at only a few
hundred feet from the ground "nat-
tens OUT and ICONS up into the sky
again. Sometimes, 10 make sure, the
pursuer fires 80 or 100 rounds at his
falling opponent as he falls in his wake
to make sure that the spin is real and
not just a willy pilot playing dead"
SO 10 sometimes happens that a fall
begins by a pilot playing dead" and
ends In IL becoming genuine. In these
cases the victorious pilot will never
know whether he was firing at an
enemy trying TO escape or into the back
Of a dead man.
