American aviators flying into Mex

PAID $3.50 FOR TWO CASES OF
VINEGAR.

A well-known Ashland business
man who is always on the lookout
for a deal in which to make a little
money, went up against deal that
makes him wonder why all people
are not honest Two men telephon-
ed him that they had a couple of
cases of whisky, bottled in bond, the
real thing, that they would dispose
Of at a fair price. They came over
in a skiff from Ohio and brought the
cases up to the bank. The bottles
were inspected. Evidently they had
never been opened. The speculator
at once paid $50 case, or $3.50, for
the entire lot. 1t is said he was
offered a few minutes later a larger
sum, but refused. The skiff was
carted away, and the bottles when
opened were found to contain good
brand of vinegar.

TAKING CENSUS TO REQUIRE
$4,000 CLERKS.

The Director of the Census, Hon.
Sam L. Rogers, announces that
$4,000 enumerators will be needed
to take the next census. The work
begins on January 2 and will last
about two weeks in cities, and a
month or more in rural districts.
Rates of pay will vary, depending up
on the locality and character of the
district to be canvassed. The aver
age pay per enumeration at the census
of 1910 was about $40. At this
coming census it will probably be not
less than 500.
"Active, intelligent, and reliable
men and women, not less than 18
years of age, are needed for this
task" said Director Rogers, "and, in
sense, this is a call for volunteers.
The Importance of a complete and
reliable census, especially in these
critical times when more than ever
before perhaps we need complete
data regarding population, condi-
tions, tendencies, and resources, can
hardly be over-emphasized. The re-
organization of the social and eco.
nomic structure and the readjust.
ment of international relations neces'
STATED by the War must be based on
accurate knowledge if we are to act
wisely and deal justly with all classes
and all interests. 1t is hoped, there
fore, that public-spirited energetic
people throughout the country will
volunteer to act as census enumera
tors even though they may not care
for the positions so far as the pay il
concerned. l should be sorry tt
think, and l do not believe, that al
our 'potriotism was used up by thu
war and none left over for public
service in times of peace"

Let Action Follow Thouuht.

A philosopher once said that there
Is no value to any thought. no matter
how fine or noble, unless it is trans
formed into action. If you feel up
lifted by beautiful music. do some
thing that will tally with your mood,
and then the music has been worth
while. If you read something that is
inspiring, ut once do something, no
matter how small that is a little diff
ferent and little superior to your
routine. The theory applies with equal
truth to the reading of books as more
than pastime.-Chicago American.

course there was a stiffness between
them and Ruth was not easy to win
over, but by nighttime Of the next day
when Scott game home for dinner. they
had managed more than a few sentences,
and were talking more or less freely.
! However, there was more to come. more
to be said on each side before there
! could be any assurance of understand
ing. No two young people can say
awful things to each other, and then
promptly forget all about them. It.
simply is not possible. Ruth knew that
she had contemplated if only for f"w
short, mad moments, leaving her house
Even though she would never have uyne

she had been too sure that Scott had
been in the wrong to forgive him alto
gether without having him admit It.
! Scott, too, could not forget that he had
admitted to himself the fact that in one
respect Ruth satisfied him altogether.
while in another she failed him and he
could not be contented unless he did
have that comDanionship, no matter how
hard he tried to convince himself that
he had all he could expect. And it is
the little trivial thing wearing con-
stantly on the minds of a young couple
that does more damage in the end than
any other.
But some good had come out of the
evening. Ruth felt less bitter toward
SCotts friends. She probably would not
forget in hurry that II was to the
Bohemian crowd she had turned, in her
extremity, while Scott would not for
get that shifting of his conscience. that
he had felt when he had admitted to
himself that Ruth had been more right
than wrong about Alice. Not that Ruth
had really contided in any of the Bo-
hemian crowd she was not even friendly

for the first time the utter imposslbllity
