THE HUN IN 1871

Every village they have passed
through has been the victim OF
what is only organized pillage.
Every city has been practically
sacked, ransacked on system; its
citizens plundered, its civil officials
terrorized, imprisoned, outraged or
killed. The civil population have
been, contrary to the usage of mod
ern warfare, forced to serve the
invading armies. brutally put to
death, reduced to wholesale starya-
ton and desolation. Vast tracts of
the richest and most industrious
districts of Europe have been de-
liberateIy stripped and plunged into
famine, solely in order that the in
vaders might make war cheaply.
Irregular troops, contrary to all
the practice of war, have been sys-
tematically murdered, and civil
populations indiscr1minately massa-
cred, solely to spread terror. A
regular system Of ingenious terror
ism has been directed against civil
ians, as horrible as anything in the
history of civil or religious wars.
Large and populous cities have been
NOT once, but 20. 80, 40 times
bombarded and burnt, and the wo-
men and children in them wantonly

THE THRIFT CAR

The title THE Thrift Car" as ap-
piled to the Overland automobile
has been the topic for widespread
discussion, since the automobile
shows.
''The fact is.s said John N. Viii
lys, president Of the WHY'S Over
land Inc., recently, commenting on
the aptness of the term, that time
and money are just about one and
the same thing.
''To save time is to make more
money. To waste it is to lose both
meney and opportunity.
"The automobile is helping to
turn spare moments into money.
shorten miles and conserve time
for to be thrifty with time is an
absolute essential to success.
Thrift implies not merely saving
but investing your savings in hours
or dollars with wisdom. The auto
mobile has been the greatest aid we
ever had in capitalizing time and
coming this common possession into
cash. Naturally, the man who can
accomplish more in a given time
with thesaid Of an automobile reaps
the greatest reward. That is equal
ly true of the farmer. the sales
man, the doctor, the plumber, the
contractor and people of all trades
and professions whose number is
legion.
"Just as the telephone, the tele-
graph, the transcontinental rail-
ways have set up new standards in
world travel and communication,
just SO the automobile quickened
the whole system of modern busi-
ness usage"
Get one Of these thrift cars and
save time and money.

Music and EIoauence

The first entertainment of its
new series was very successfully
given Friday evening by the Wes-
ton Concert Band at the local opera
house. The program was one that
would have made demands upon
professional musicians, yet every
number was played in a manner
that brought tribute of hearty ap-
plause from the audience. A ring
ing address along patriotic lines
was delivered by Stephen A. Lowell
of Pendleton-whose earnestness
and eloquence are such as would
galvanize a statue into loyalty.
Prefacing his address, Judge Low
ell took occasion to highly compli-
ment the Weston band and the Wes-
ton Leader. The Weston male
chorus sang so pleasingly as to
earn an enthusiastic encore.
