Says Mosouitoes Punctured Tire.


 The biggest big mosquito story of the season is credited to Fred Zavat- kay employed by the New York and New Haven Railroad company at Win sted, Conn. With a party of friends he motored in his car to Riverton, three or four miles distant, on fishing trip He left his car near the village and upon returning from the brook, he no- ticed that a spare tire fastened to the rear of the car was literally covered with giant "skeeters." They all seem ed to be in working order, too, be- cause when Zavatkay had to use the new tire to replace fiat one on the way home he declared he found 1t had been punctured by the huge mos Quitoes.

THE FINAL TEST

The final test of every wise buyer IS quality not quantity service not saving !; perfection not price. In the purchasing of those things upon which the success of business is dependent, the aim is to se- cure that which will certainly pass the test of every emergency rather than find something that may meet the require ments. This rule applies equally to the purchase of merchandise, machinery or insurance.

"The dimensions of an intruder were not considered at all by Sir Ruby" says R. I. Brasher, writing or a humming bird. "A fiat lazy wood- chuck, sitting upright on his hind legs
 calmly chewing a sprig of leaves and surrounded by an admiring circle of Leghorns, was informed In no uncer- tain manner that he was outside of his domain. He returned to his proper territory with an abruptness which scattered the hens in a wild furry of cackling.

The investigation so far has con.
cerned itself mainly with the street
Improvement and sewer departments
of the city government. The persons
arrested include a number of officials
and contractors. 1t has been found
that eXorbitant sums have been paid
by certain officials for the gravel
which is the principal material used
in road and street construction, large
brides having been given freely by
groups of contractors. Graft has
shown in the construction of the new
great Meiii shrine, opened with great

least that enterprise should have been
immune
in Japan, which like most other
countries in the Orient, is the home of

presents which would be termed graft
in western countries, official pecula-
tons of this kind must be extremely
vicious before they attract attention.

case they intend to investigate to the
bottom. In this they are backed bv

WHEAT CROP IS
LOOKING BETTER

Maury county wheat is looking
somewhat better than it did a month
ago, and still is not up to the average
for this time, according to reports
from the county. The crop, sown this
fall in dust, did not sprout well and
has not grown well. However. there
has been little cold weather to iniure
the crop this winter and it is believed
that with favorable conditions the
crop will show material improvement
before spring.
