GAS PRICES TUMBLE IN WOOD

Here is some good news for the
motorist. We have been in the habit
OF paying about six cents a gallon
more for gas here in Wood than they
have had to pay in Winner. But all
this has changed now and we will be
able to make our Lizzie talk for just
one cent above Winner prices, which
will mean a drop of about four cents
a gallon, while the price of gas at
all railroad points has taken an adj
vance of about ~ cents a gallon dur
ing the past week.

A city exchange remarks that some
towns spend more time in sounding
their slogans than they do III clean
ne their streets.
1t is quite true, to the detrimcnt Of
the towns. Glowing slogans cause
the stranger to expect something out
of the ordinary, and when he learns
his mistake his interest ceases to
exist.
Fine words on the wings Of the
wind travel n lon" wav. but a clean
street leaves a more lasting impress

Quite a discussion is springing M
as to who is our richest man. SOM
hand the palm to John d., while
others claim that Henry Ford is en-
titled to the blue ribbon.
One cntcrprising writer suggests
that the question be settled by refer
nee to their tax receipts. But that
would only serve to increase the doubt
Tax receipts are very deceptive and
misleading.
There is, however, one way in which
- solution to the problem could be
found Let them emulate Andrew

Then the ribbon could 60 to the one

Don't be too hasty in condemning
he fellow whose conscience troubles
him. Possibly he is to be admired.
Wherever there is a normal mind
Their is supposed to be a conscience.
But many Of them do not function.
Some, apparently, have even ceased to
exist.
A conscience is a troublesome thing
when it is in good working order.
1t is forever interfering with some
long cherished plan or pet project.
When we want to lull it to sleep it
insists upon remaining wide awake.
Hence we kick it, and cuff it., and
'rample upon it until it becomes
hlunted and calloused from incessant
abuse.
And then it droops and fades away,
and we, being emancipated, proceed
to prosper in the world of material
affairs.

QUAINT OLD ENGLISH TOWN
Place of Infinite Quiet and Rest
Politically Depicted by Great
English Novelists.

The town was ancient, and compact
"a domino OF tiled houses and walled
gardens, dwarfed by the ~dispropor-
tionate bigness OF the church. From
the midst of the thoroughfare which
divided it In half, fields and trees we're
visible at either end; and through the
sallyport Of every street, there flowed
In from the country a silent invasion
of green grass. Bees and birds APP
peared to make the majority OF the
inhabitants; every garden had it's row
of hives, the caves Of every house
were plastered with the nests OF
swallows, and the pinnaeles OF the
church were fickered about all day
long by a multitude of. wings. The
town was full OF Roman foundations ;
and as i looked out that afternoon
from the low windows of the inn, i
should scarce have been surprised to
see a centurion coming up the street
with a fatigue draft OF legionnaires.

The pretty girls and the stalwart
young men gathered on the pier wait
ing for Ben Hampton and his motor
boat had not paid much attention to
the girl from Goshen, who was the
country cousin OF Adele Parks, the lip

OF Mildred Moore, who wore q wool
skirt and a white MILDLY blouse and
rubber-soled canvas shoes.
"she looks a fright" thought Adele
as she teetered about on her French

complexion and the bordering ct

in expensive silk sport clothes, spent
stray moments In renewing their hid
