Many man has thought it cheaper
to move than to pay rent. But what
mistaken idea he had! If he paws
his rent promptly he will build up
credit which he will find amounts TO
many times his rent money. In times
of sudden illness and accidents. the
value of credit cannot be estimated.
Some of our most congenial citi-

short time, unless it is absolutely nee

Buying on installments is the pocz-
est business policy imaginable. Sell
ing on that plan is highly profitable,
but buying that way is ignorantly ex-
; travagant. As a rule you must pay
more than the article is worth, be mo-
Tested and at times insulted by the
collector for months and even years,
and never legally be the owner of
what you have purchased until the
article is half or altogether worn out.
Don't buy on installments, unless act

In the city people are unmolested by
prying and gossiping neighbors. They
do not need to worry for fear their
actions will be noticed and commented
upon, but when man in the city is
down and out he is friendless, for no
one takes an interest in him. The in
habitants of small towns, however,
may gossip and be gossiped about;
they may pry into things which are of
no concern to them; they may tattle
and quarrel, but when one of their
number is in need of help he is sure
of finding it. His neighbors prove to
be the truest friends in the world.

LIGHT SLEEPERS

Sometimes people in the country
complain of the night notes.-the
croaking of frogs, hooting of owls
Growing of ROSTERS and other noe
turnal sounds; but do you ever think
Of the noises disturbing the sleep of
the people of the cities? Street cars
are changing their way past the resi-
dence all night long, taxicabs are
honking their way over the pavements,
into the city continually, and then,
about three o'clock in the morning
the milkmen start charging down the
alleys, tramping up the steps in their
heavy shoes and rafting the bottles
outside the door. Yes, noises in the
country may be bad but they are not
so hideous as those in the city.

SPECIAL ASSEMBLIES

At 1:45 on Friday, the boys and girls of the Senior High School con vened in separate assemblies. The girls were given a. splendid talk by Miss Williams which was followed by a song rally. Rallp and school songs were sung with much enthusiasm. Miss Eckert, at the piano, accomran- jed the singing.
 After the rousing song fest, Wilma Stephens was appointed to take charge of the assembly, Finding that there was a scarcity of pep songs for school contests, a committee con- sisting of two members from each of the four classes were appointed to make up the deficiency
 Those appointed on the committee were: Seniors, Hilda Woody and Myr- tie OLeary.
 Juniors. Francene Hill and Edith Overman.
 Sophomores, Thelma Collins and Mildred Stephens.
 Freshmen, Majorie Newell and Bes- sic Stephens.
 Not all of the committee have re- ported their success as yet, but we expect to discover quite mine of talent in our midst

TEN MS

Among the many new features of the school this year are the tennis tournaments. These are quite an acquisition to our athletic activities. To Miss Edwards is due the introduc- tion of this sport to the High School
 Plans are now being made to ar range tournaments between the girls team, the boys team and also mixed sets. If enough interest in the sport can be aroused in our neighboring schools, we plan to have some inter- scholastic tennis games. There is no reason why Clifton can not hold the tennis championship as well as her other honors.
 A large number of the students are joining in the plans with great en- thusiasm. Already much progress has been made by the pupils under the able instruction of Miss Edwards. The t'Y'' has. shown it's good spirit by allowing us to use it's court. We appreciate the favor very much and intend to prove our appreciation by the frequent use of the court and an earnest effort to earn the Tennis championship for Clifton.

ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL

A general assembly was held Oc- tober 27, in observance of Roosevelt Memorial Day. MT. Halberg presided over the meeting. After brlef re- sume of the life of our ex-president, Colonel Roosevelt, voluntary subscrip- tions were taken up for the Roose- welt Memorial.
 This memorial is to be University located in Washington for the purpose of Americanizing our foreign popula- tion. The students responded eager ly and sum of $31.10 was realized. Ninety six of the students contribu- ted. This speaks well for the spirit of Americanism in the Clifton High School.

ORCHESTRA TO BE ORGANIZED

V hC fN I v D6
 We have still another new feature which, if it succeeds, will be one of the finest things for the whole con- munity that has as yet been attempt ed by the Clifton High School. This is an orchestra, in connection with the music department.
 Although the orchestra will be un- der the general supervision of Miss Eckert, our music director, we are fortunate, indeed, in securing the ser vices of MT. Woody, as orchestra ln- structor. The desirable feature in this new undertaking is that instruc- ton will be provided for those show ing musical talent on any instrument whether previous lessons have been taken or not.
 We are anxious for these plans to materialize and any support when Clifton people can give will be appre- ciated. We are sure that the music lovers in Clifton will welcome such an organization.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE

After special study of breakfast dishes, the Freshman class in food study is now ready to serve complete breakfasts.
 Two girls from the Sophomore clothing work visited the North Cliff ton clothing class Tuesday, the idea being to add interest to the work for both classes, by having the High School girls see what the children of the elementary grades were studying The High School girls were very fav- orably impressed with the work of the North Clifton sewing class.

TITTONI PLEDGES
UNITY WITH ALLIES

ROME, Sept 81 delayed Italy must
remain In unity with her allies, declared
Tomasso Tittoni, the Foreign Minister,
in the course of his speech to-day in
the Chamber dealing with the situation
growing out of the Fiume incident, in
which he offered to resign In favor Of
any member who believed he could
handle the problem better.
The Foreign Minister had gone over
the course of the peace negotiations at
Paris, paying particular attention to the
status off President Wilson in the peace
activities and pointing out that the Ital-
ian delegates had had to adopt an atti-
tude of compromise because, while
France and Great Britain had assured
Italy of their support, they had avoided
going beyond the point in which they
would have come into conflict with
President Wilson. The Foreign Min
lister went on:
IT should be q traitor II I did not
recommend the avoidance of a course
which would put Italy in open oppose
ton to the Peace Conference. which
would mean Italy's abandonment of the
conference, with the loss of all the adj
vantages coming from the peace treaties.

CHARLES RAY IN "CROOKED
STRAIGHTFORWARD

Charles Ray is the Lillian Gish of the
actors! He has one of the most sensi-
tive faces of all of the men actors. He
can register things that are not found
in a movie catalogue. You can read his
thoughts by watching his face. He is
one of the coming stars, in my humble
opinion.
In Crooked Straight Charles Pay
has a chance to demonstrate great
deal of his extraordinary talent. He
plays the part of a country boy who goes
to the city, and gets trimmed for fair,
leaving him stranded, starving and aw-
fully wet from the rain. man makes
him a proposition to turn safe blower.
considerable amount of criminal infor-
nation and becomes a cracksman
But he is never satisfied. He convinces
his pal that it is the wrong life, and
they agree to turn straight. However,
they are nearly arrested doing their last
Job. and the friend is shot. He leaves all
of his worldly goods in the care of Ben,
Charles Ray, and dies happy in knowing
he has a friend that will look after his
two children
Ben goes to the farm, where the ex-
burglars family lives, and becomes los
ter parent to the children. There he
meets the girl who is to make him glad
that he has turned straight Complica-
tons turn up, however. Another crook
who had told on Ben and his pal and
tried to have them arrested Is trying to
rob the girls fathers safe. Ben inter-
yeres, and there's lots of explaining to
be done, but Ben can certainly explain
beautifully, and instead of stealing the
fathers money, he steals his daughter
