Editorially we desire to say, it

tip toe in and out of the room.
All ladies' who offend are thought
to v ear number nine shoes, and,
very naturally, the speaker and
the audience crane their rccks
to see who has such curious 'eet.
AS for the men who stomp" so
heavily in the 10 yer hall, on the

them.
Unfortunately, there is a lack
of carpet to deaden noise in the

other hand, when a i cally polite
person must leave hofn~e the
close of the meeting. he " she
tip-toes in a manner that, in ef-
feet, is a real apology to the
speaker for the disccurtesy of
the interruption. But there seems
to lie no hope for those whom
Nature endowed with such feet

GREAT PERFORMANCE
An Automobile That Has Covered More

What was real curiosity IN
the way Of an automobile passed
through McConnellsburg last
Monday. 1t was a curiosity
not OIL account Of It's size, not on
account OF the strangeness of It's
name, for it bore the name of a
popular make-but 1t was a cur
loslty because Of what it had ac'
complished.
The car was a Buick, Model 16
and was built away back in 1909
and had been on the job out IN
Kansas until 1t had run 261,60
miles doing all kinds of pleasure
and jitney work. 1t showed such
remarkablevltallty thatltsfrlends
decided to give it a chance to see
what it could do in its old days
and, consequently, few days
ago 1t started out from Detroit
Mich, for a tour east to Boston;
thence by way of Washington,

burgh, Cincinnati, st Louis, Salt

aud back to Discriminating a
trip of $4,000 miles.
1t was met at Cham mbersburg
by our local Buick dealer, r. M.
Cline and escorted to McConnells-

Deserve TO Lose.

Some time ago, before food
gamblers became aware that the
United States government in
tended to put down "cornering"
and specializing in food, thous-
ands of acres of potatoes were
bought up by the greedy crea-
lures. In some instances the po-
tatoes were contracted for be-
fore they were planted and from
81. so to $500 a bushel paid in ad-
vance. 1t is now predicted that
a fair price of one dollar a bushel
will prevail and the guilty specu-
lators deserve to lose.
There is no intention whatever
on the part of the government to
reduce normal profits to the pro-
ducers of food for man or beast.
On the contrary, it is the inten-
tion of those in authority to pro-
tect them in recognition of the
country's helplessness without
the farmers aid and in gratitude
for their efforts to meet the guam
tity demand. But the seventy
per cent. who buy the produce,
and the brave men who are at
the front in defense of the coun-
try must be protected from the
wretched men who prey upon
human misery.
