THAT the State Highway Depart
ment is determined to enforce the
automobile law against individuals
using 1917 tags on January l, seems
to be understood generally, as ap-
plicatons are coming in daily in IN
creasing numbers.
~. Denny O'Neil, State Highway
Commissioner, has already announc-
ed that there will be no extension Oh
the use of 1917 tags, as they are be-
ing received from the manufacturers
in quantities large enough to ensure
prompt filling of all applications, SO
that tardy applicants for proper reg
istration cards and licenses need eX-
pect no leniency.
1.-The statement also directs atten-
ton to the fact that, under the law
no municipality, city, or borough
has the right to extend to car owners
and to operators the privilege OF
using old tags or to operate motor
vehicles on January ], without tags.

norman subscribes $5; who will be
the next?" the preacher announced.
Mr.. Zimmerman paid the subscrip-
ton, as he said it was worth the
price to swat the annoying fly.

A SENSIBLE STATEMENT

Editor C. A. Haney, of the St.
James Journal, made the following
statement in the journal last week
that will receive the endorsement of
every editor in the country, in fact,
every sensible man will agree with the
statement:
$50 many people get the idea in
their heads that if they advertise or
subscribe for the paper that they are
doing it to help the editor. If anyone
has such an idea in their noodles in
regard, to the journal the sooner they
change their minds the nearer they
will arrive at our idea of the facts.
Don't give us any advertising unless
you are sure you are doing it for your
own good land that's 999 times out
of 10000, and don't pay your S for a
years subscription for our benefit, for
it isn't worth that much; it isn't
worth taking, but for goodness sakcs,
don't read it for four or five years,
and then have it stopped without pay
ing for same, just to please US; that's
too much of a good thing. We never
part friendship with a fellow who
pays up and stops his paper; it's the
fellow that don't that doesn't appeal
to u.s."
