SOMETHING JOB NEVER DID
Possibly an Experience Like Mr..
Browns Would Have Shattered
His Reputation for Patience.

Filled with pride, Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown started out for a drive in
their new motor car. Mrs. Brown
was hoping the neighbors were watch
ing, but her husband was too busy
steering to hope about anything.
Alack Before they reached the
end of the road the car stopped,
and stayed that way with a mule
like persistency. Mr.. Brown tried ev-
cry lever and handle in turn. Then
he got down from his seat and be-
gan TO investigate.
Presently he lay down and crawled
underneath the car until only his
number mines were left visible. In
few moments the car gave a sudden
jolt and then stopped, and terrible
flow of language, more forcible than
polite, became audible.
"Oh, John" exclaimed the wife, In
Mortified tones, don't swear so Have
patience, like Job did"
JOB" shrieked Mr.. Brown, In
stifled voice. sob would have sworn,
too, If he'd been underneath this
beastIy car with his mustache caught
in a cogwheel."

ADMITTED HE WAS LOSER
conViViaI Gentleman Preferred TO Buy
His Wine Rather Than Comply
With Wife's Request.

Three men about town had a very
good day at the races. Each vowed
that he would go home and cheerfully
obey the first request that his wife
made him. A bottle of wine depended
upon the result.
The following night they compared
notes.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kimer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

TREE SUPERSTlTI0NS

If a tree near your house splits In
two 1t fortells Ill luck.
If you hear old trees crashing down
the mountain it is a sign of a storm.
The e IS a negro superstition that
water taken out of old stumps Of trees
will take the kinks out of negroes
hair.
If a tree you planted grows crooked
~ there will be black sheep in the
family.
For a branch of tree TO grow into
your window is a sign Of success in
your wishes.
There is another superstition about
cutting the name on a tree. 1t will
die when you die.
If young tree withers without
cause there will be sickness in the
family living nearest.
1t is bad luck to climb over tree
that has been blown down across the
road. Walk around it.
If the oak and beech trees bear
many acorns and nuts, it is sign Of a
severe winter to come.
Among some savage races souls are
ascribed to trees, and it was thought
very bad luck to cut down an old tree.
The first fruit of any tree should be
gathered into a sack and some left on
the treesso that it will bear well ever
after.
A few leaves trembling on a tree
when every other part Of the tree is
still forebodes bad luck to the OBJ
server.
1t used 10 be a tradition In some
communities to plant a tree at the
birth of a child, and as the tree grew
so grew the child.
If you carve your name on any tree
it is said you will be opposed by some
one all your life until the tree is cut
down and burned.

A.Store's Character& Its Advertising
A store has character, as we'll as an individual,
or a town, or a church, or a club

CThe character of an individual or town or church or club is largely
a matter of pride; but the character of a store is a matter of
pride plus profit.
(A store of character is ever reaching out for the acquaintance of
ystrangerS, that they may come to know and value its character
and its superior merchandising facilities. There are various means
employed to secure this result, but that which has been and is en-
ployed to the greatest extent and to the greatest satisfaction is news
paper advertising.
CIf the newspaper advertising does not give the reader a good
conception of the stores character, a large percentage of the
space and money expended is lost. Such advertising may be said
to be all lost unless it merely assists the strangerreader to recall
the name of the store at some time when a purchase is contem-
plated.
discriminating and appreCiaive purchasers are able to tell at a
first glance at any metropolitan paper what the good stores are in
the city in which the paper is published. Their ads stand out
among all the others in the sheet. They show a careful prepara-
ton which might correspond to the pains with which a stock might
have been selected; they have a clean, weIlbaanCed, symmetrical
look, which suggests that the merchandise in the advertising store
is weILarranged for display and examination by the prospective
purchaser, and that the store is a pleasing place in which to spend
the time required for the purchases contemplated; the illustrations
are alive, ~we-drawn, attractive, pleasing to look at, and suggest
that the lines of merchandise advertised are up to the minute and
comprehending all demands that might be put upon them by the
most desirable class of customers.

NEWSPAPERS NEAR RUIN

In speaking af the present print stu
alton the Business Printer says that
the inability to secure news print
imperils the existence Of thousands of
small newspapers and publications. 1t
S stated that t~wenty-siX large publica-
tons are responsible for this sad con-
dition. Facts have been uncovered by
the senate committee, but these facts
are suppressed by the big news agen-
cies. linked up with the Big %.
Jason Rogers Of the New York
Globe admitted that the bulk Of the
ncwsprint was consumed by twenty
odd publications. and hat the short
age was brought about by the unbusi-
ncsslike methods Of the newspaper
business. Hundreds of papers have
suspended, others have consolidated,
and still others have c~urtailed con.
sumpt on All this Notwithstanding
the fact that the mill output is 35 per
cent more than in 1916.
1T is wen charged that the immense
volume of advertising in 1920 by tn
profteers is a two-edged weapon. On
the one hand it is an effort to dispose
of excess profits TO fool the tax col
IectOr and on the other to keep the
big newspaper quiet.
Rogers told the senate committee
that an earnest, unsuccessful effort
had been made to induce the Big 2f
