more care should be taken in the
tire equipment or second hand cars
than IN the equipment OF brand new
automobiles. IN the case of q used

more OF a selling point than it is

that the geared-to-the-rOad tread

Of those tires adds real value 10 any

SO, the attractive appearance Of the

However taking it all in all. a
new set Of tires and a little cleaning

the same results for the old worn

the street, % years of integrity, honor and
trust walk along behind him.
When he said the prayer the other day
for the boys that were leaving for the war;
there wasn't dry eye among EN-; it wasn't
as eloquent an address to the throne as
some college guy could have made, perhaps,
but those boys knew who it was praying,
the man their fathers and mothers believed
in and respected, and Pm thinking the Al
mighty knew who it was, too, and listened.
Brother Thompson has his limitations.
Everybody has, except me and you. But
we know 'em. And love 'em. And we
know that beneath them there's heart as
sturdy as oak, and soul as clean as sum
shine, and that, to say nothing of ourselves,
who are so darn good we ache, there's not
a drunkard, or a woman that has gone
wrong, or a sick man, or sorry boy, that
wouldn't turn to our Minister as to a friend
in trouble.
No. stree. You can't turn an old pastor
out like horse.
This all may be sentiment. But, take
it, this Church business is about ten-tenths
sentiment. Anyway, it's sentiment to me-
So long as / attend this Westinghouse

and talk, he's going to be my pastor And
when his designations accepted it carries
mine along with it.

is red. And ] guess l don't want so much
devotion to the Churchs welfare if it's
gong to make me as dog-g gone cold-blooded
as it makes some folks.

Virgins Wagons, dealers in stoves and
hardware.

No. said Virgins, when the Official Board
met to take action on the resignation OF
their Old Minister and to select some Young
Pastor. No, he said I'm against it.
Old Brother Thompson has been with us
twenty-five years come September. He's
grown up with us. He's part of us. Same
as kinfolks. I'd just as soon think of ac-
cepting my fathers resignation. because he
has notion he's been in the fathering BUSH
ness too long, and the children need a
younger man.
Brother Thompson has married us and
buried us, that is, some of us-there's a
lot more need burying, take it from me.
But he's been part and parcel of our we'd
dings and sociables and parties and fairs
and town meetings and everything for a
lifetime, and this here proposition to kick
him out-for that's what it amounts to

You say he's over sixty and is feeble.
Well, let's hire him an assistant to do the

How Cities Can Buy Surplus Food
From War Department

There are three ways in which municipalities can take
advantage the departments sale at cost or below OF
its surplus food supplies ,
l. Where the city operates munlclpal market, the
authorities charge of the market bid on the supplies
2. The mayor common council can appropriate a
of money for the purchase of the supplies appointing
a committee to handle the bidding. -
3. Citizens organize COMMUNITY BUYING
CLUBS where the other two plans are not feasible
The way follow the latter plan is to get busy and
organize 1t makes difference how the organization is
effected principal thing to provide enough money to
pay for the supplies wanted. -
single carload of food supplies will cost anywhere
from the amount of money TO be raised
depends on the number of carloads of food needed.
Uncle Sam demands his money before he delivers the
supplies. That's an important point to remember.
Perhaps a number of wealthy publcspr1ted citizens
agree to $4,000 apiece to for the goods
When the supplies arrive and sold to the public these
be paid back
The first thing do is to get the and common
council interested If they refuse to act It's up to the
citizens themselves.
The best way is to call meeting in some centrally
located schoohouse church theatre and appoint COM
ttee to handle the work This committee with the force
Of public sentiment behind it, should be able to raise the
necessary funds for worthy cause without trouble
The result will be that hundreds of poor people in this
city will have the opportunity of buying excellent not
weather meats vegetables and fruitshe kind that made
our doughboys fat-at cost far below current market
prices.

Lord Bacon also said: "Of all inventions of modern

those inventions which abrdge distance have done most
