Verify, verify. If Lover Spake the
Truth, in the Days of His Courtship,
No Woman Would Marry Him!
My daughter. ask me not why a man
regaleth his Beloved with Viewers,
and "Forevers", and Beautiful Lies!
For verify, his reason is more OBJ
vious than a debutante's shoulders,
and simpler than last summers bath

Lo, he saith:
Beloved, shall love thee forever
and ever!
"Never before, have really loved

"Alas, I confess that I am not per-

"Never again. shall hear the call Of

"Never again. shall even THINK

And the Damsel MARRYETH him

Yet, If he had spoken the truth,

For, verify, thou hast got me go

GRADUATED SCALE
FOR AUTO LICENSES
TO RULE IN 1920

Automobile licenses for both trucks
and pleasure cars for 1920 will be
somewhat higher than they were for
1919, in accordance with the new reg
istration law which will become OPP
erative in making application for the
new licenses.
Heretofore the cost OF license for
an auto~aobile truck was the flat sum
OF $500 regardless Of the size, and
traiiers were not regulated by law,
while the new license scale for trucks
follows:
For a truck Of one-fourth ton capac-
ity and less than three-fourths tons
capacity, Sc and 50 additional for each
trailer. For truck Of three-fourths
tons capacity, and less than one ton.
So and 81 for each additional trailer.
For truck OF one ton capacity and
less than two tons capacity, $40, and
81 for each additional trailer. For a
truck OF two tons capacity and less
than three and one-half tons capacity,
$40 and 10 for each additional trailer.
For q truck Of three and one-half
tons capacity and less than five tons
capacity. $40 and SIS for, each addit-
ional trailer. For truck of five tons
capacity, and less than seven and one
half tons capacity, $4O ana $zU aool-
tional for each trailer. For a truck
OF seven and one-half tons capacity
ana over. $50 and $25 additional for
each trailer. .....
No Eleven Ton Trucks. , g.
Under the new law, no truck OF
greater capacity than 10 tons is per
mitted on the public highways Of the
state.
The sliding scale, according to horse
power, though slightly changed. is re-
tanned in case of auto licenses for
pleasure CARS. In the past, machines
Of Is horse power and less, cost the
owner s. to register with the secre
tary, of state. while under the new
law, autos Of less than Is horsepower
requires q IS fee for registration. II
the machine Is even Is horsepower,
the state is given the benefit, adm the
owner will be required to pay So for
his license plates. The So fee will in
clude cars up to 80 horsepower. while
cars of 40 horsepower will cost SIS.
The SIS fee takes all cars up to SO
horsepower while license plates for
autos of so horsepower or over, will
cost $50.

Mr.. bennett emphasizes the psychic
logical effect upon the German popu-
lat.on of the American efforts to re-
lieve American prisoners in this way.
THE United States Government
showed its determination to look after
It's prisoners, watch their treatment,
see that they were well fed and well
clothed. 2 All these things had their
effect on the German mind. While
never contemplated for that purpose,
IL is undoubtedly true that the food
and clothing parcels sent to American
prisoners constituted the best possible
propaganda. f-,
THE German population had been
systematically educated to believe that
an American army Of any size could
not possibly be sent to France and
that even II such an army was sent
It would be physically impossible to
transport the necessary food, clothing
and supplies. And yet here were pris-
oners, scattered all over Germany, re-
ceiving from America twenty pounds
per week Of better food than the Ger
man population had seen for years,
and better clothing.

} "The effect was Irresistible and
spread all over Germany. 1t became
a source of embarrassment to the
German officials, and we were even
told that we were sending more sup
plies than were necessary and asked
to reduce the quantity. We were in
formed officially that the prisoners
received so much food that they were

manner.
Because the American prisoners
were sent food. clothing and toilet ar

spected by the Germans. On the con-

But perhaps you do not know all
there is to know about chicory.
A glance at its history will reveal
the reason for its popularity as a bev-
erage and adulterant. About one hun

their purpose better than any other
substance, not merely because it was
not easily detected, but also because
the mixture really was superior to cof-

guarded, but became publicly, or at
least more widely. known about the
beginning of the last century.
