PROOF OF AN OLD SAYING
Argument With Woman Costs Man
Fine Of $3.50

There are still few people who don't
believe it always costs money to argue
with women.
Salvatore Pammaro, twenty, 772l
Germantown avenue, discovered the fact
that morning when Magistrate Price
fined him $3.50 for little occurrence
last night.
According to testimony. Salvatore
had friend called Mabel and last
night he offered to borrow friend $
automobile and take her home from the
restaurant in which she works. He
took her as far as Broad street and
Wyoming avenue when he decided it
was pretty late-about 2 2:30-and that
Mabel would have to walk the rest of
the way home. Mabel couldn't see the
walking part and an informal argu-
mcnt followed.
Patrolman King broke in on the de
bate, arresting the upholder Of the af
firmative. At the hearing it turned
out that Pammaro had no driver s
license and the fine was imposed. 1t
would have been cheaper to take Mabel
all the way home.

JUDGE COMMERCIAL CAR
VALUE BY FOUR POINTS

"The Commercial Car is four
fold-asset to business house." says
Mr.. Davis of the Maryville Auto g.
Garage Co., local dealer in Chevrolet
passenger and commercial cars.
"First of all there is the intrinsic
value. This is determined by the
quality of materials, the character OF
the design, the efficiency of the
mechanical units, workmanship, com
pleteness of equipment and prestige
of the car.
"Service is another measurement
of value. Commercial cars serve by
saving time, and labor, increasing
the efficiency of traffic systems and
affording the most direct and inde-
pendent method of handling merchan-
disc. Their service is dependable
and enduring.
"They are paying investment.

FEATURES KIWANIS

W. L. Webster, the Whistle man,
was chairman of the Kiwanis meeting
last Thursday and introduced new
stunt at the meeting when he called
for whistling contest, giving case
of Whistle to the group whistling
the best. The crowd was divided
into two sections, and each did their
best, however, some wondered what
the tune was they were whistling.
The Whistle was passed around, and
all had a refreshing drink.
Miss Smith and Rev. French
Wampler spoke relative to the sup
port of the public library. The
need for the continuance of the
library was emphasized, and also the
possibility of securing Carnegie
library. 1t was the sense of the
club that the library should be sup
ported by the town and not entirely
by individual contributions and to
this end a committee was named tU
appear before the city commission
and ask that small levy be made
The meeting was one of the most
enjoyable yet held, and the Kiwanians
hoped "Whistle" Webster would be
chairman again soon as the drinks
he furnished were super-excellent.

Ever stop to think where Fines
come from? How about those you
saw at the breakfast table this morn
ing? Nice flies, weren't they?
Seemed friendly, too, and willing to
dine with you, didn't they? Yes,
every last of one of them hatched
fresh from some stable, pig pen
manure pile or open privy within the
last ten days or two weeks.
Here is their history in brown
Nutshell. Old Mrs. Fly laid a setting
of 12O fresh eggs in the manure pile
couple of weeks ago. They all
Matched out into tiny, wiggly white
maggots before night. These little
maggots squirmed around in the wet
manure for four or five days, got fat
and grew a shell. Once in she'll,
these little maggots start to growing
wings and legs and everything else
that goes to make up first-class flies.
This job is done in five days and out
comes our rising generation of flies.
Their Shiny, wet bodies, make it easy
for them to crawl to the outside of
the manure pile, where they dry their
wings, take first breakfast, and then
make bee-line Cor fly line) for
your kitchen and dining room.
Yes, those We're the very identical
flies you saw at your breakfast table.
That's their pedigree.
