HOW MANY people would ride in
a taxicab if they really knew that in
case of an accident they could collect
no insurance from the driver or his
employer.
To secure this insurance for his pa
irons the taxi owner must be respon-
sible or he couldn't get insurance. If
the car is driven carelessly or reck-
lessly the premium would either be
raised so high as to make it prohibit
tive to retain the policy, or the policy
would be Cancelled.
Before you step into taxi, for your
own protection, ask if the driver car
rieS insurance.
Mr.. Roy Payne has insurance on
all of his cars. This not only is pro-
lection in case of accidents, but far
better than that, it is a protection
against having accidents, for all the
Payne drivers are required first of all
TO be experienced and careful.
They are not only required to COM
ply with all of the city traffic rules.
but also a few extra safety rules made
by Mr.. Payne himself.
AS an instance of this all Payne
drivers are required to drive west from
Kansas avenue to Jackson street be-
fore turning to go to the Payne Taxi
office, near the Avenue on West Sixth.
This is required as a safety measure
by Mr.. Payne and not by the city traf-
fic regulations.

HAVE YOU sometimes wished that
we could get back to pre-war time
prices? Well, except that there was
war and we have to add the tax. the
prices of the soda fountain drinks at
the Dibble Grocery, Sixth and Quincy,
are right.
Coca Colas used to be cents-so
they are now at Dibble's, with one
penny added for Uncle Sam. Before
we leave the Coke" subject, let me
ask you If you ever had enc of Jtm's.
If you haven't, drive over to Dibble's
and order one. You'll admit that it
can't be beaten.
The plain sodas here are also only
a nickel and one cent war tax. Ice
cream and the plain syrup and choco-
late sundaes are only Is cents and the
war tax at Dibble's.
There is also at. this store a very
complete line of toilet articles in sew
eral well known brands. Excellent
face powders, toilet water, cold cream,
talcum powder. tooth paste and even
listerine, Lavoris. peroxide. not to
mention good reliable medicines OF

The late fiction will be added to the
library it arrives at the store. In
connection with the library is new
plan. There is a membership fee of
one dollar and the dues are only two
cents day. That is a very inexpen-
sive way of indefinitely enjoying the
latest books. The slowest reader
couldn't take over two weeks to read
a book-and it has been his to enjoy
all that time for only fourteen cents.
Unfortunately the appropriation of
funds to our city library is very in
adequate to it's needs. SO it makes the
securing of many books impossible.
Unless this condition has been bet
tered, the reading public is fortunate
to be able to enjoy the latest fiction
at a most reasonable fee from The

Library.

The Code of a Good Sport.

The following rules apply, it seems
to me, to any game-especially the
little old game of life:
1. Thou shalt not quit.
q. Thou shalt rot alibi.
8. Thou shalt not gloat over win
ming.
4. Thou shalt not be a rotten loser
5. Thou shalt rot take unfair ad-
vantage.
6. Thou shalt not ask odds thou
art unwilling to give.
7. Thou shalt always be ready to
give thine opponent the shade.
s. Thou shalt not under estimate
an opponent, nor over estimate myself
9. Remember that the game is the
thing, and that he who thinl-eth
otherwise is a mucker and no true
sportsman.
10. Honor the game thou playest,

Instead of waiting until the very

This you can easily and conven-

your gift will arrive and with it the
thought that inspired it.

HAVE YOU been longing for box
of good candy and felt just a little
leery about buying it in midsummer?
There is a fresh supply of Cranes
candies at Stansfield's Drug Store. By
the way, have you ever eaten the
Crane candy? I have, lot of it, and
1 was crazy about every bit of it.
There are boxes to suit every taste,
and the taste will suit everybody. The
Particular Package" is an excellent
assortment. Then there are the
Cranes French Caramels." The Nut
Brown Package contains no creams,
Gust try it,. The Mary Garden
Chocolates are of course delicious and
there isn't a lady living that wouldn't
be impressed by it.
The prettiest thing in the way of an
especial gift box of candy is the dull
gold box. on the top of which is a very
good copy of THE Rubaiyat," a paint
ing by Maxfield Parrish.
All these good candies are put up
by Cranes and are strictly fresh at
Stansfield's.
