SIDE TALKS BY RUTH oA1EEsoN
A 'fPor trait
BY RUTH CAMERON

I ways ready to laugh, and she has. moreover the Magi's gift of being able ito be diverted when other people are annoyed" at; inconven- fences or small discomforts.
 She is an excellent listener Not just the passive kind, but the kind that stimulates you, makes you wit tier and cleverer than you are wont to be.
 Yet she is not at all Silent per- son. She knows everybody in town and can tell you all the latest news.- not malicious gossip,--but all the in teresting human cfit-clat of. the neighborhood.
 She Brings Up Your Favorite
 Subject.
 She has always heard something nice that someone has said about you and never fails to repeat it. Also. she knows just what subject you partic- ularly like to talk about and does not oblige you to introduce it for yourself.
 She always has good time where ever she goes because she carries this good-company atmosphere with her and because she knows how to mako a lot out of small pleasures.
 This is portrait of woman who is good company.
 Is it "damning with faint praise to use that phrase of any one? n~@

 E Margaret, I have the queerest message from Richard. cannot make it out.''
 My mother-in-law rustled into my room. her voice querulous, her face expressing the utmost bewilderment.
 What is 1t, mother?" asked ner- vonsly. It was late afternoon of the day on which Robert Gordon had re- vealed his identity as my father, and my nerves were still tense from the shock Of the discovery.
 .'Why, Richard has left the city. He telephoned me just now that he had m unexpected offer at an un- ai8ua1 sum to do some work in San Francisco, think he said, and that he would be gone some months. If he accepted the offer he would have no time to Oome homo. He said he would write to both of us tonight. What do you suppose 1t means

MOUNTAIN VOLUNTEER BAND

The meeting OF the Mountain Vol
unteer Band Sunday afternoon was
the largest Of the year. The leader
was Prof. John F. Smith OF the Nor
NAL Faculty, who discussed the top
ic. Quaint Customs Of the Noun
tains." The speaker told Of large
number of customs which are some
times regarded as quaint and Of
their origin. This meeting was es-
pecially instructive and enlighten-
ing. A number Of the Faculty were
present and the scholarly study OF
the leader amply repaid them for
their attendance. That the social
ed quaint customs Of the noun
tains were established by necessity
and will disappear as fast as they
become useless was the dominant
ihot Of the leaders speech. The
Band is handling some
very vital questions at its meetings
and great interest is being
aroused. Give il your support!

UNION CHRISTIAN ENDEAv0R
MEETING

One Of the best Christian Endea-
vOr meetings Of the year was held
Sunday night in Main Chapel. II
was a joint service between the
Christian EndeavOrers Of the In
ion and Christian Churches. The
leader was Glenn Phelps, president
of the Union organization. He dis
cussed the topic, Fruits from the
Christian Endeavor Tree" That
one tree could produce so many
kinds Of fruit was a puzzle TO many
until the leader explained its bio
logical development. A solo by
Professor Phalen, The Lost Chord,
was especially well rendered and
added much TO the spirit OF the
meeting. This service was an ap-
propriate celebration OF Christian
EndeayOP week.

GooDYEARs MILEAGE Is BIG

Figures which indicate in striking
fashion the size Of the output Of
Googyear tires have been compiled
by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,
Akron, o., The company's produc-
ton for the past year was 3,5O0.0oO
tires, and taking 5000 miles as an
average mileage for each tire, the
total mileage necessary TO wear out
this output would be 1880, 900
miles. Or a car would have 10 COW
er i375,0O0,OOO miles TO wear them
all out-would have TO travel 49,
600 times around the world, or ~
times the distance from the earth
TO the sun, and return. Or, TO put
the figures another way, an auto
mobile going at speed OF 80 miles
an hour would have 10 travel day
and night for a period Of 10000
years TO wear out Goodyear's 1915
output.

TAG DAY SUCCESSFUL

Tag Day dawned cloudy but warm
and every one started into the work
of selling tags with a good deal OF
enthusiasm which grew rapidly as
the day advanced.
Even the rain which began in the
early afternoon failed TO dampen the
ardor Of a few who worked faithful
ly on.
A neat sum was realized which
will go far toward buying the equip
ment for the kitchen for the Graded
School. The thanks due every one
who were instrumental in making
Tag Day a success we wish 10 give,

first honor is due, in having given

My sentences are punctuated by the

"whiz" Of the sniper's bullet, and

, secure inside information

to secure inside information state that the engine is remark able for it's simplicity of con- struction; while it represents standard type of motor now in general use rather than any thing radical yet it is enough different to set a new design of construction.
 The production in the man. moth plant is being pushed in order to finish up a quantity of these new cars so that they will be in the hands of the big mot or car merchants distributing the Nash product in September.
 The new car was unveiled before the organization of Nash distributors at the facto- ry in July. It was received with the immediate approval of this new distributing organ. ization which was gathered a. round the Nash Motors Con- pany by General Sales Mana ger, MT. c. B. Voorhis, in rec ord time.
 The fact alone that the new car even surpassed the expect ations of which this organiza- ton believed the Nash Motors Company would be able to pro- duce, practically assures the immediate acceptance by the public of the value represented in this car.
 Altho these distributors so far have not been able to have a new car on hand to show to prospective dealers, they nev- ertheless have gathered around them large group of the best automobile dealers in the coun- try, which is another indication of the confidenc the trade plac- es in the future of the Nash Mo- tors Company and their pro- ducts.

Support the Council

The Town Council realizes that there is one big issue be- fore the town of Williams at the present time, which over shadows all others-the water and light question. According ly the members are devoting their efforts to this one issue, to the neglect, temporarily, of others. This is exactly what the people have a right to ex- pect of their representatives.
 The Town of Williams is fortunate at this time in having five able men on the Council who are competent to cope with the difficult task placed upon them. The energetic and earnest manner in which these men are attacking the water and light question, merits the hearty support of every citizen of the town.
Williams news., 1917-09-13

Last week the press told o1 a new achievement of German kultur, the use of machine guns and bombs from airplanes against Red Cross hospitals, killing patients, nurses and doctors. To this they have ad- ded yet another horror, in the dropping of poisoned candy from airplanes, to tempt the little children of France to a horrible death. No doubt the future will witness many new savageries at their hands. And yet there are those of American birth who still fail to see the necessity of defeating this conscienceless military despot- ism, in order that democracy and humanity may yet remain on this earth.
