EXPECT NO LARGE BUYING.

NEW YORK, November 26.-It is
the consensus among large manufac-
turers and retailers. that the balance
or the year will be given over to
llquldating stocks now on hand and
that very little quantity buying can
be expected in any line of merchan-
disc before next spring. 1t is believed
also that the cleaning up process now
going on will be good thing for
business in general The buyer. it is
explained, is in no state of mind to
purchase goods, and that condition is
expected to continue until the public
feels the pinch of necessity.

ATLANTA MAN HAS
CLOCK 100 YEARS OLD

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 27.-Atlanta has
gone clock crazy-crazy for antique
clocks.
"People generally have gone on a
search for the ancients and are max
ing them the most cherished part of
their household goods" said a promi-
nent clockmaker in the Peachtree Ar
cade, Atlanta's little city of shops,
who has been busy for many weeks
getting old clocks into shape for lead
ing citizens in many parts of the city
Among the "newly-founds" is a
clock said to be 100 years old, accord
ing to the Arcade clockmaker. Instead
of an ordinary pendulum swinging
back and forth the clock has con-
traption moving in half circle, first
to one side and then the other. Some
how, it is stated, this rotary action
seems to meet with the minimum re-
s:stance, and so the clock is able to
run on and on.

Rules to Remember in Harvesting


The following simple rules must
be carefully followed if storage is
to be successful:
Harvest the potatoes before frost
kills the vines.
Remove the vines and plow the
potatoes out carefully to prevent
bruising and cutting the potatoes.
Dig during the forenoon and allow
the potatoes to dry for several hours
before hauling to storage house.
Do not bruise potatoes by throw
ing them in piles or heap rows.
Gather the potatoes in smooth bas'
kets, buckets, etc., if they are stored
in bins. If they are gathered in
crates be sure that no projecting
points bruise the potatoes. Never
use rough baskets or boxes as re-
ceptacle for the potatoes.
Grade the potatoes in the field ;
this does away. with the need Of re-
handling the potat ,as in the stprage
house. Throw OUT A. Gu. or scratch
ed potatoes.
Never haul sweet potatoes in bulk.

NO FIXED DEFINITION FOR
MOTOR TRUCKS ESTABLISHED
What is a motor truck?

What Is motor truck!
There is no universally accepted
standard of what constitutes motor
truck in the various States, says the
Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture.
AS result, only 13 States have fur
nished the department with the i'm
portant data-so essential to road
building-as to the sizes of trucks
and commercial cars using the Ma
tion's highways during the first six
months of 1921.
"In some States," says the depart
ment, "all motor cars are registered
on the same basis; in others, only
cars having solid tires are classed
as trucks; while in others all motor
vehicles used for carrying freight or
merchandise of any kind whatever
are CldSScu as VI uShS. GfSh IAOSS
States which provide for separate
registration for motor trucks do not
employ the same basis for designat-
ing the size of the vehicle. Some
States use the total weight of the
loaded vehicle, others the weight of
the unloaded vehicle or the weight of
the chassis, and still others use such
indefinite bases as the horsepower or
the cost of the vehicle.
The need for definite and uniform
information concerning motor trucks
in use on roadways is felt, the de-
partment says, in the preparation of
data which will enable road builders
totake accurately into consideration
the effect of such traffic.

"He started it. He said-he said

MEN IN PRISON.
TRY TQ.ESCAPE
GETAWAY NIPPED
IN BUD BY GUARDS-PRISON-
ERS AT PENITENTIAR1 COME
NEAR GETTING OUT-CAP-
TAIN DAY STOPS PLAN

Columbia, Oct. 29.-Penitentiary
guards made a coup d'etat" and
frustrated the plans of at least nine
prisoners when they discovered cell
in the main prison building cut to
pieces and everything in readiness
for the escape of number of men.
Capt. R. NJ. Day, head Of the guard
at the penitentiary, said yesterday
that the discovery was made just in
time as the men, at least nine and
probably ten, would have had little
trouble in making good their escape
after getting out of the cells.
Captain Day and Guard Gillespie
went through the building and found
the cell cut to pieces and everything
in readiness for the walkout of the
prisoners. The cell was occupied by
C. M. Grier, sent up from Charleston
for seven years, Captain Day said,
and was literally slashed to pieces
It could be picked up set aside, so
complete was the work.
The attempted escape was we'll
planned and the destructive work on
the cell was done by professionals in
the business, Captain Day believes.
Had Captain Day and Guard Gillespie
been few moments later the men
would have been out, it is believed.
Captain Day said yesterday the
tools used in cutting the cell, iron
bars and everything, were apparent
ly of the best type and something
new here. He characterized the at
tempted escape of the men as one of
the boldest ever discovered at the
penitentiary. He is making thor
ough investigation of the case and
expects to find at least ten men i'm
plicated in the contemplated escape.

My landlords different than most.
Although perhaps I shouldn't boast
But-wejl he takes L as his task
TO DO whatever ! may ask;
lie meuds the root, or paints the wall
Repapers dining room and hall;
In brief, he seems to take a pride
In doing things as / decide.
-
My ianitor is quite unlike
The kind you usually strike;
He keeps up steam, he tends the fire
Whenever it is my desire,
He never gives me any lip,
He doesn't ask or want a tip,
He feeds my dog, he feeds my cat;
Few ianitors are nice as tLati'
You ask me. where are landlords
Who with such kindnesses abound?
And where do janitors exist
Whose virtues make so long a list?
The secrets plain enough to trace
am the landlord of my place,
own my house-and, saving pelf--
/ am the janitor myself
