Mackey Says.

Possibilities of an increase and en-
largement of the office building and

plans to get control of the ground in
order to prevent some one else from
hedging us in when we want to grow"
However, it is possible that an an
nouncement of immediate construc-
ton will be made in a short time
The lots which have been purchas-
ed by the company have small brick

FOR WHAT REASON?

This is a most pertinent question
that the Salem, Mass, News uses for a
caption over a brief but pointed edi-
torial relative to the many and divers
burdens that are being piled these
days on the shoulders of the consum-
ers. and apparently without sufficient
cause. The editorial follows:
One of the leading tire and rubber
companies of the country reports an
Increase of $27, 500 900, in round mum
bers. in gross receipts for the year.
Earnings are equivalent to about So
per cent on the common stock, after
preferred dividend requirements.
After the first of the new year, tires
are to be increased in price. What is
there about the foregoing showing
that justifies a lacking up of prices?
AS with this concern. so with null
titude of others, prices are seemingly
bumped, not so much because legiti-
mate factors warrant higher prices as
because there is a disposition toe
prevalent to place upon the consumer
all that the traffic can be made to
bear.

Rustlings: Plainsmen are thankful

things fought by hygienists of the

Told by the Dickinson County News:
An Abilene man went out of town to
see his girl Christmas. For the occas-
Ion he had his best suit cleaned and
pres ed. He was in a hurry to catch
his train and rushed into the clean
er's, grabbed suit off the rack and
stuck in his suit case. When he got
to his destination, he prepared to
dress up. But the suit he grabbed
didn't happen to be his and belonged
to a man whose arms were shorter
and whose legs weren't as long.
Wouldn't a situation like that make
you swear? He swore and he isn't
a swearing man.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels-there's no need
of having a sallow complexion-dark
rings under your eyes-pimpIes- bill
ious look in your face-dull eyes with
no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and flyer.
DR.. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action, yet always effective. They bring
about that exuberance of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en-
joyed by everyone, by toning up the liver
and clearing the system of impurities.

Tablets by their olive color. 10c and
