Saturday night Nose Clements

He was quite shaky when he hit
the front door. and rather than wake
Alice, his better half. he dragged him
self atop the square piano and went
to sleep.
Along toward morning he rolled on
the piano. and hit the floor hard
enough to wake and scare his wife.
She rushed downstairs and made SO
much noise that Nose became fright
ened.
He supposed that burglars were in
the house. He grabbed a pint bottle,
half full Of liquor. and let 1t sail al
the supposed intruder.
The bottle broke and cut Alice on
the jaw. The whisky trickled down
her nightie and drenched her.
OF course, Nose had a good excuse.
He must have been mighty sure. he
argued, that burglars were about, else
he would never have wasted half
pint Of $-a-pint whisky.

REPUBLICAN, SUNDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER &c.
PHOENIX SOCIETY
WOMEN WILL FLY
To OLD PUEBLO

"A party Of Phoenix society women
will fly to Tucson for an afternoon tea
at the Country club there"
That such an announcement may be
expected in the near future is indi-
Gated by the enrolment in the charter
class of the flying school which Lieut.
R. E. Goldsworthy will conduct at the
state fair grounds beginning Tuesday.
The lure of the air appealed so strong
ly to certain members of the younger
social set in Phoenix that they have
taken the initiative in enrolling in the
new flying school, and they will be the
first to graduate as full Pledged aviatrix
from the first class of its kind in the
state.
Lieutenant Goldsworthy has re-
stricted the enrolment in the first
class to eight pupils, but will start ad-
ditional classes at intervals dependent
upon the rapidity with which the be-
ginners master the art Of plotting the
ships.
Lieutenant Goldsworthy visited Mesa
in his Curtiss plane during the past
week and SO interested the students
at the Evans school there that most of
them signified their intention of tax
ing the flying course as soon as room
could be made for them in the classes
at the fair grounds.

FEED BREAD TO HORSES

Guy Hickok in the Brooklyn Eagle)
PARIS-A threat that the price of
bread will be raised in the near future
has been issued by the French govern
ment. The cause for this warning is
that under the artificial control of the
price of wheat and flour bread has
become so cheap, comparatively, that
cab drivers feed it to their horses.
1t is common sight in the districts
in which the "cochers" live to see
horses munching bread and water in
the street while their masters MUNICH
bread and drink soup in the house
The price of bread is kept down by
an involved and mysterious system of
subsidies.
The farmer is subsidized to raise
wheat by being guaranteed a much
bigger price than he ever had before.
This makes wheat abundant but ex-
pensive.
In order to make the bread from this
wheat cheap, the government turns
about and subsidies the millers, pay
ing them bounty for every bushel Of
flour they grind
The two processes together cost
France 1 billion dollars a year in taxes,
but the bread is cheap.

If the dinner dance Friday night
that marked the opening fthe San

of what the season promises, certainly
the social outlook for the winter is
most brilliant one. One hundred and
fifty-three people sat down to a most
excellent dinner in the big dining room
whose beauty was heightened by a
bountiful use of roses, chrysanthemums
cosmos and other flowers. Later the
dancers comfortably filled the bali
room, while those who looked on"
occupied the adjoining arcade over
looking the patrio, which was hung
with Japanese lanters.
Besides the guests of the hotel and
residents of Chandler, the dance was

UNREST REACHES BETHEL, MO.
(Kansas City Starr


Modern unrest has reached even
Bethel. Shelby county. Mo-, and the old
inhabitants sadly shake their heads and
lament the passing Of the old days
when the fame of Bethel was interna-
tional, the prosperity of Bethel ire
futable and the peace Of Bethel i'm
pregnable. Bethel is torn by a law
suit, thing unknown in the good old
days.
The settlers Of this quaint Missouri
town were idealists, relates the Macon,
Mo-, Republican. They came to what
was then a wilderness and located on a
picturesque stream. There they estab-
lished water mills, factories of various
kinds, a community church and many
God looking houses. DIR. William Kiel
was the prophet, priest and king of
the settlement. Greater authority was
vested in him than in any other officer.
Attendance at church and at Sunday
school was compulsory. A community
store supplied the people with clothing
and food. All worked certain number
of hours each day, and were entitled to
draw from the store according to their
product.
From all accounts the community
thrived and was happy. There were no
divorces, no police courts and no brawls
of any kind. When there was a dispute
Doctor Keil passed upon 1t, and his
word was law. From all accounts
Bethel seems to have been a thorough
ly happy and contented community.
The products Of its mills we're sold all
over the world, some of them receiving
awards of high merit at expositions
at New York and London.
The colony as such has long since
been disbanded

MOTOR MAKES AN
AUTO DEPENDABLE

ut is the motor that makes an au-
tomobile from the standpoint Of util
ity," says Bert 0. Brown, local dealer
in Chevrolet passenger and CONNER
cial cars.
Hundreds of dollars may be spent on
body comfort and appearance, but in
the end, the enjoyment of a car is lin
tied to the worth of the motor.
Just as the heart is the center of
life a human being, so the motor is the
heart of the automobile. 1t makes
it go.
IF man has a strong heart he is
generally capable of doing big physical
things. The ordinary tests of everyday
do not tax him at all, they do not wear
him out. He has endurance. He lives
long and is fit and vigorous in his. old
age.
In just the same manner the ca
pacity of car for hard service and
the length of that service depend on
the character of it's motor.
ut is because so many people fail to
grasp this important point that they
make so many costly experiments be-
fore finding real motoring satisfaction
1t is because of this that so many
makes of automobiles are permitted tc
flourish on the sole strength of at
tractive features before public opinion
snuffs them out.
ION the other hand the most sue
cessful cars of today are those whose
motors have stood up to the tests Of
time. They are the kind in which the
motor has been the first consideration
Then the rest of the car has been bull
to fit the power of the motor.
I'm such cars the motor is not over.
taxed by unnecessary weight. Strength
and flexibility have taken place o
bulk. And the result is greater ridins
comfort, endurance, freedom from re
pairs and far more power at far les

trip in a 1920 Oakland ROADSTER, and

been equal to the occasion at all times.
He said Il don't believe there was
ever a better automobile built than
the Oakland Six, regardless Of price
Anybody who makes as long a trip as

minutes trouble, and whose tires will
show up as well as mine do now, has
reason to be very proud of his carr"

PREDICTS CHEAPER
RATES To ARIZONA

Returning with predictions that the
long fight waged by the interior west
for equitable west-bound freight rales
Will come to victorious conclusion in
the immediate future, and that one of
Inc most important steps ever taken
for the commercial development of
diately, +. A. Jones of the state cor
poration commission is back from his
trip to Salt Lake City where he was in
attendance with the Intermountain
Rates association at a five-day hear
ing by the Interstate Railroad COM
mission. concluding last Tuesday.
Although the commission will not
announce the result of that hearing at
once, because of following out its usual
course of deliberative procedure, Mr..
Jones does not hesitate in saying that
from everything he could gather in the
hearing it is a foregone conclusion
that the commission has taken a fav-
orable view and that the people can
expect its favorable announcement in
due time.
The granting of equitable west
bound rates, Mr.. Jones says, will re-
move the tremendous commercial dis
elimination that has existed in favor
of the Pacific coast terminals since
the early years Of western railroading,
and will occasion the establishment of
great manufacturing concerns II,
Phoenix and other interior places that
could never be obtained in any other
way.
Commissioner Jones has been presi-
dent OF the Intermountain Rate asso-
Walton since its organization eight
years ago. during all of which time
he has worked interminably to end
me unfair discrimination which the
coast ports have enjoyed for So long
ana on which they have waxed so fat.

aminer j. w. Thurtell of the Inter-

given by a Spokane newspaperman
who had written the interview with
McAdoo, the newspaperman being sub
