Ilappeared TO be fixed in certain we'll.
defined grooves and my future to be as
sured along lines OF advancement entirely
satisfactory and agreeable.
I was President Judge OF what was re-
garded as tho strongest court in tho city,
my services were acceptable to the bar
and tho community. had recently been
elected for u further term OF ten years,
and 1t was generally believed by both law
yers and politicians that upon tho occur
renee of the next vacancy l would be sent
to the Supreme Court.

my mother ] had received about SO, 900,
and | had also share Of my unce's in
heritance. from which some years before
his death he had distributed, in accordance
with his view, that while he was free to
bestow his own accumulations as he saw
fit, inherited money was in the nature OF
a trust fund.- to be divided without favor
among members OF the family.

] was entirely out of debt. I had a house
in town and had recently bought the his
torc home of the family, which had been
in its possession for 80 years, and there
l intended to spend my summers. l owned
a library of more than 10000 volumes
OF Americana especially relating to Penn
sylvania, which in some respects was uu-
equaled in the world.

LIGHTLESS NIGHTS

Lshtless nights? Nobody who ever lived
in the country can get scared out at the pros.

and bred may think 1t impossible to get
along unless the night is made more brilliant
than day by artificial means. The folk who
came to town from the rural regions know
better. however. They might not choose to
do SO for the mere. pleasure Of the experi-
ence. but II necessary they could slide back
to the dark night customs OF olden days
without hardship.-st. Joseph 0asette ~

ELG|N CO. ERECTS
ITS THIRD FACTORY

In a small frame building at Chi.
cago, in, April, 1916, a group Of men
began turning out an automobile that
they called the Elgin Six. They did
not know how it would take" al
though in their own minds they were
confident of its worth. Today the
third factory for the manufacture of
this car is in process of erection, and
when completed will have capacity
of 100 cars daily.
This, in part, tells the story of
the wonderful success Of the Elgin
and the popular demand with which
it has met in all parts of the country,
says Frank Coombs, Elgin distributor.
within few weeks after the FL.
gin was put on the market, demand
for the car was created, and with the
need for bigger production came the
necessity for larger shop accommo-
dations. 1t was not possible to put
UP buildings fast enough SO circus
tents were pitched on neighboring
lots and the necessary machinery in
stalled. A factory with a capacity of
forty cars per day was then built, but
it has proven inadequate, although
occupied for the first time only as
recently as last July. The third plant
is now welPunder way"

Owners of cars, other than those in
the rent service, will be given the
Red Cross boxes. These may be Sc
cured at the Star. Bulletin. A list is
kept Of the name of the owner and
the car number together with the date
the box is given out. The box is
placed on the car and the dealer re-
ports back oncss each month. A receipt
is given for the amount, and the funds
turned over to the Red Cross. : ~
When you place the box on your
car, the friend who Ii given q ride
in the morning or in the evening will
see the inscription, PAY Your Way
for the Red Cross" and will then de.
posit a nickel, dime. or quarter in
the slot. It Is thought that the own
ers of boxes will be able to average
anywhere from So to SO each month.
This plan has received the indorse-
ment Of the Red Cross and number
of motorists nave already taken
boxes. A number Of inquiries have
been received at the Star-Bulletin and
it is expected that before the week is
out not less than rs boxes will be
given out to the patriotic motorists of
the city. .>~..
Make it point to call for Red Cross

in the week. Place the box on your
