NOISY AUTOMOBILES, ETC.

A citizen remarks that Tazcwcll

than any small town in the state,
and adds: "And the noisiest." Facts.
is it necessary-all this earsplitting
noise and racket? 1t is positively pro-
hibited in large towns and cities. No
use trying to talk or do little else
when one of these big trucks and
some autos open up. The tin Lizzie

Is all this racket necessary? If so,
let it go on. If not, it should be pro.

AMI while we are at it, automo-
bilcs should rot drive past stand

been narrowly averted on main
street. Persons alighting from a
street car, start around across the
street around the car to be met by
an automobile whizzing by, and if
you are not as nimble as Il cat an
injury may occur. Main street is
narrow, and at times crowded with
autos and people, and PRECAUTIONS
should be taken. 1t is easier to pre-
vent than to cure. Our forcfathers
who laid out this town and ran off
the streets, knew nothing of auto

BUY, BUY; EAT, EAT.

AT the beginning and during our
participation in the World War. we
were Xhorted-almost commanded
to economize i'll every way, in order
to feed our boys and win the war.

other-"less" days, and saved food.
clothes, bought bonds and stamps
with our surplus, and formed habits
of economy.
Now, behold! Just the opposite
course is urged upon the country.
Buy merchandise and food abundant
~ and lavishly, they tell us. This
course will stimulate trade. The mer-
chants will increase their orders from
the manufacturers. The manufac-
turers will increase their orders for
raw material. The idle freight will
be needed, and the railroads will get
busy. Buy coal now for next winter.
this Will start things up Mt the mines
and idle coal trains will get busy.
Buy onions. in order to help the
growers dispose of their $500 car
loads left over from last yenr, and
so 1T goes. Here's the point-this
entire process comes right back To
the consumer. The consumer mist

May Lessen Use of Canal

Application has been made to the
Public Utility Commission by the Penn
s|yIvania railroad, which own the Del
aware and Raritan canal, for permits
sion to extend the time for its closing
from December 20 to April 1, instead
of March 1, and to close the canal
every night between Z p. m. and { a. m.
The additional month is sought in
order that the company may have am
pie time to make repairs to the canal.
Night operation of the canal is unnec-
essary. the railroad contends, and its
discontlnuance would make possible a
reduction by at least $500 annually in
the large loss which the company suf-
fers. A hearing on the application will
be held January ,.

Yet Fifty years ago, odd as it may seem,

thousand pounds of Powder. for the, Feet
were used by our Army and Navy during

The reason is this: Incasing and combining
the feet in Leather or Canvas Shoes is
bound to create friction, more or less.
Aliens Foot=Ease. removes the friction
from the shoes, and freshens the feet. It
is this friction which causes smarting, cal

COOPERATIVE BANKS DENIED

COOPERATIVE BANKS DENIED
Every state in the Union in which
the legislature considered the model
bill for cooperative banks proposed
by the American farmer-labor coop
erative commission during the last
session either slammed the door on it's
advocates or messed the thing up in
such shape that it is no good for it's
purpose.
The Iowa senate passed the bill
after amending it to death and then it
was lost sight of in committees at the
close of the session.
Nebraska gave the state banking
department discretion in granting the
right to establish cooperative banks.
It will find that the farmers always
want bank in the wrong place.
The governor of Pennsylvania We
toed an amended bill haggled through
both houses.
A member of the senate banking
committee in Washington wrote to a
farmers cooperative society: "This
model cooperative banking bill is so
complicated that it would mess up the
simple banking laws Of this state"
Anyway, it isn't necessary" This re-
minds us of the time North Dakota
politicians told farmers to Ego home
and slop the hogs" anyway, it isn't
necessary" strikes US as just about as
insulting.
Minnesota legislators consulted the
bankers, and the bankers all knew
that the bill was dangerously radical.
orth Dakota, the state of "terrible
things" is the only state in the Union
that gives cooperative banking fair
chance. ---' ..~

WEEKS ON DISARMAMENT

Secretary of War Weeks, in speech
at Tufts college, Massachusetts,, on
June 20 made a strong if not directly
expressed plea for a let up in the fight
for disarmament. He asked his audi
ence and the country to trust the adj
ministration as to how far it was safe
to go in disarmament.
''The present administration" de-
clared the secretary, "is most DESTROYS
to have disarmament as far as it is
safe to go. But we must ask that we
be the judges Of just what this degree
is, for we have information which we
can not divulge, obtained in reliable
and complete manner, which makes us
the only competent judges.
"When we see nations preparing for
war, making greater preparations in
times Of peace than during the war,
we must sit up and take notice. Eng
land is at war, France is at war, and
many other foreign nations are in con-
fict, and it is not the time for us to
make a move for everlasting peace"
IF the administration were 100 pei
cent DESTROYS of disarmament it would
welcome the uprising of our public
opinion in it's favor to offset the ex.
IRENE militarism demanded of it by
the most powerful interests in Amer
lea at the present time-the very men
