North Carolina is being praised
and advertised for its good ROADS
program:
News comes from Charlestown
that West Virginia, to the west
through its Legislature called IN
extra session for that purpose,
has voted an issue Of bonds in
the sum of $50, OOO,0 900 for the
building of good roads. 10
the south, North Carolina
recently issued bonds in similar
amount that it might lift itself
out of the mud. To the north,
Maryland, already known as a
good roads state, is spending
millions of dollars each year IN
the construction and maintenance
Of highways that are ajoy to the
traveller after crossing the
boundary from the Virginia mud
holes that are called roads only
through courtesy.
Already North Carolina is
receiving advertising throughout
the length and breadth OF the
country by reason of its pro-
gressive action, which is bring
ing in new industries, fresf
capital and added inhabitants
1t is not beyond reason to believe
that before it has laid a mile O.

BALLAD ON BOOLE

Halifax is filled with prohibition
news,
But still you can getit any KIND
you choose;
Especially monkey-rum and corn,
But if Jackson stays on it will all
soon be gone.
You can buy it on the mountain
tops
Far away from all the cops,
Or you can buy it on the street.
Where the cops daily beat;
Or you can buy it on the hill
Hot! just from the still,
Or you can buy it on the road
Served from dipper, glass OF
gourd.
But there's one thing prohibition
will do, is
Knock our State of Revenue.
It has given many easy positions,
Paid many large commissions,
Walking around all dressed up
Looking for a place to sell 6
quart.
1t has made many men law
breakers, :.
Who will have to answer to thell
Makers,
But you can make sure OF m!
advice
There will be some booze as Ions
as there's a price.

CARE OF SPRING
WILL Save TIRE
Improper Adjustment of Brakes,
Careless Driving and Under
initiation Are Bad.
LUBRICATION IS NECESSARY
Oil or Graphite Between Leaves Will
Enable Springs to Take Up Shocks
of Road and Prevent Hacking
of Parts.

There Is very close relationship
between proper care of the springs in
an automobile and the mileage which
the motorist receives from his tires.
Properly adjusted, well fabricated
springs will mean longer life to tires
and TO the entire car, while cracked
or neglected springs will cause rapid
deterioration of engine, body and tires.
Many motorists believe that if they
make cursOry examination of the
tread and outer sidewalks of a tire
they are taking ample precautions
against undue wear and tire trouble.
Yet there are many other things to
which the average driver pays little
attention which have a direct bearing
on the service he gets from his tires.
Harmful to Tires.
Improperly adjusted brakes, care
less driving, overlooking, underinfia-
ton and, last but not least, bad
springs will all strip dollars off the
tires every time the car is driven.
Springs are placed in a car not only
to make 1t more comfortable to ride
In, but also to take up a major part
of the road shocks and prevent rack
ing Of the various parts. When there
is a shock, such as comes when a
wheel hits rough spot in the road,
the tires get ii first. Then follow
shocks to the wheels, axle, body, &C.
cupants and motor, with the springs
in between to take up as much as pos
sible.
Springs Need fabrication.
When the springs fail to function
properly, all the shock has to be taken
up through the tires, both in the ini-
tial shock and in the natural rebound
fabrication of the springs is not
difficult, and labor expended in this
task will pay big returns. One of the
best methods is dismantling the
springs and lubricating them with
graphite grease. First remove all the
rust with an emery cloth. Another
method is to lift the body Of the car
on jacks, and open the springs with a
cold chisel inserted between each leaf,
squirting oil and greases in freely.
A simpler method is to take an oil
can and run 1t along the depressions
In the springs, allowing the oil to flow
out freely, and then rocking the car
to open and close the leaves. working
them back and forth. permitting the
oil to work well back under each leaf.

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
LOVELY"

fxDID you enjoy the play?" "Yes,
III had lovely time" The
person who used the word
lovely" in this sense did not know,
or forgot. that "lovely" should be used
only to describe something which is
adapted to or worthy of being loved
that is. of inspiring the highest
esteem of which the human being is
capable. The word "lovely" means,
according to the Standard dictionary,
possessing mental or physical quail
ties that inspire admiration or love;
winsOme, charming, lOvable, as "A
lovely face"
The word "lovely" has, therefore.
distinct and valuable place in English
dictiOn. and should not be debased by
use in connection with common or or
binary matters. or trifles. Instead of
"lcvely," in most cases some such
words as attractive, agreeable, pleas
ant, enjoyable should be employed.
Here is correct use of lovely: "She's
adorned amply that in her husbands
eye she looks lovely"
