ON THE SPUR
OF THE MOMENT
BY ROY K. MOULTON

The Prince of Wales we don't just
remember his regular name, is going
to pay the U. S. a visit, and possibly
he will pick out an American bride.
It is said the prince doesn't care to be
bored to death by high society, and
would rather have a quiet visit This
is to inform him that our place is at
his disposal. He will not be pestered
by society folks there. The kids may
climb over him a lot and throw sand
in his ears and mark UP his collier
with lead pencils, but he can eat in
his shirtsleeves and snooze in the
hammock and have an all-round good
time.
When it comes to pick out a beauti-
full American girl for bride, well, our
neighborhood Just naturally swarms
with 'em. We hereby extend him an
invite. If he wants to see a one-hun-
dred per cent American family In ac-
ton, We know of no better place.
Never a dull moment.
More statistics: If all the photo
graphs of New York society beauties
taken in one year were placed in a
large frame everybody would rush to
look at the pictures of the chorus
girls.
So far as the war is concerned 1t
seems to be all over but the shooting.
Twenty-Five nations are still at it.
Old Friend Mexican Situation is
sitting on the presidents desk to well
come him home.
A rain cloud will chase all over a
state until it finds a Sunday school
picnic and then settle down to spend
the day.

TRUE NORTH.

TRUE WORTH.
You don't have to be rich TO be kindly, you
needn't be rich to be true,
You needn't be rich to be honest in all
that You say aud you DO
II it's friendship you're seeking. go make
It i. the old world Is eager for friends,
It's on hearts that are golden not money
that all that's worth having depends.
You don't have to be rich to be worthy,
you needn't own silver and gold
To have men rejoice in your presence, for
manhood by moneys not told;
And he who Is honest and helpful. who
lives to the truth that he knows
And gives his full measure Of service is
welcome wherever he goes.
You don't have to be rich TO be noble. you
needn't be rich to be great,
Not always the men who have fortunes can
weather the tempest of fate;
II you will be true to your loved ones,
your God and the Flag Of the Free
The sum of your gold doesn't matter You
sare all that rich man can be.

1t Is reported that the cattle raisers
have decided to withhold their stock
from market whenever prices are not
such as they consider sufficiently re-
munerative. The plan is a good one so
long as 1t works. But II prices should
continue unsatisfactory for a consider
able length ottime. holding cattle may
become an expensive proposition and
their owners may be forced to sell
for what they can get. Any movement
To increase prices Of food products is
certain in time to react on the pro-
ducers. Higher prices for food result
in higher prices for labor of all kinds
.and its products. There are many
things which the cattle raiser, for in
stance. must buy. What therefore will
it benefit him to obtain higher prices
for his cattle, If he must pay corre-
spondingly higher prices for what he
must buy. including feed? Prices of
all articles of commerce are Joined to-
gether in an endless chain which is
going round and round on the wheel
of labor. In any decline in prices
food must take the lead. There can
be no lowering OF food prices except
thru increased production.

He rose stiffly, busted off the earth of

TIRE ADJUSTMENT
IS RETROACTIVE
Tom Leach, Proprietor of Owl Ga
rage Says Coodrich's New Adjust
ment Holds On Old Tires.

Goodrich's Victory announcement
of more mileage adjustment on the
Goodrich Tires-fabric 5000, Silver
town Cord 5000 mile3--has made Z
decided hit with every dealer and au-
tomobile owner in this territory, ac-
cording to Tom Leach, manager of
the Goodrich: Rubber Company Of
this city.
He further stated that
This new adjustment stands back
of all Goodrich Tires, including all
tires already purchased, in the hands
of user or dealer.
Fix these new Goodrich adjustment
figures firmly in your minds--6000
miles for safety treads-8000 miles
for Silvertowns-in of the $500
and 5000 miles respectively hereto
fore in force.
Goodrich tires in actual usage on
road and pavement are today unfold
ing such matchless mileage, regular
ly in excess or adjustment basis, that
Goodrich knows it has the strongest
and most durable tires the rubber in
dustry has produced.
The Goodrich adjustment mileage
is increased because Goodrich knows
the mileage in its tires, and it wants
to give every motorist share in
their economy, and their all-round
benefits.
Go to "a Goodrich dealer and buy
a Goodrich tire-or buy four Good
rich Treasure that with fair and
square usage a safety tread will rem
der you at least 5000 miles; and a
Silvertown Cord at least 5000 miles
The newspapers, as usual, formed
the backbone of this very unusual
announcement and the comments by
everyone who has read this advef-
tisement that it is all that a 100 PEI
cent effective advertisement should
be. The B. F. Goodrich Company
believes in newspaper advertising
and it is now conducting one of the
most effective as we'll as result bring.

Paris, March 80 (By mail BY no

can soldiers from Paris be more
keenly felt than by the humble "me-

and cigarette ends.
This has been a golden time for
them, and Papa Cinquante," who is
the recognized boss of the trade and
employs some thirty pickers, replies
Idisdainfully when folks grumble to
him about the scarcity Of tobacco.
'There's always tobacco where the
Americans are" he says. "My men
follow them up. Fine fellows! They
smoke good stuff, and, what's better,
they just crew their cigars and throw
away half of them. That's what we
gather in our little harvest The quail
ity of my tobacco has gone up sew
eral degrees" and he grinned.
Just now busines sis fine," he
went on. "People aer beginning to
sit outside the cafes again, and my
men pick up all the fag ends on the
Sidewalk. Another squad cleans up
the music hall LOUNGES early in the
morning. People smoke more than
ever"
Out in the Latin quarter Papa Gin
quante has drying and sorting shed,

made into pipe mixture, and the Gig
arctic ends are sifted and turned into
new smokes. He pay from S5 cents
