Few cities of like size in the nation
can boast of such modern and up-to-
date Ford service. Not only because
they are authorized sales and service
station for the Ford and Fordson, but
because they render most efficient SER
vice, this well-known autom obile com
pany has become known as the home
of the Ford and Fordson in this section.
When this firm started in business as
the sales and service agents for the
Ford, by careful management and good
craftsmanship it's business grew to large
proportions and foreseeing the future
of the automobile business it is able to
have these modern service stations.
That the Ford is universally recog-
nized as the greatest motor value of
the age is the opinion of the experts as
well as the casual buyer For service
and reasonableness of price the Ford
reigns supreme.

Pay-Up Week

Among the many weeks" we
have had "Clean-up-week,"
"Prune week. Saving week."
Mission week. Umbrella
week, ""Orange week." and have
just past Christmas week, the
most joyous of all. The Times
now suggests the" Pay-up week"
And the beginning of the year is
very appropriate time for it.
Having in mind this pay-up week
every body should reflect on
the value of a paper like the
Times to Powell county people,
and to people who have gone
from Powell county to distant
places. 1t is the connecting link
between yourself and the neigh
borhoods around you. 1t not
only keeps you informed about
current events but co-operates
with you in your efforts to bring
better schools, better roads and
better things of other sorts to
the community in W hic h you
live. And think what the Old
Home Town Paper would mean
to the son or daughter, to the
brother or sister, the father or
mother, friend or neighbor who
has moved away! 1t would mean
a great big four page letter once
a week from home. Many of our
subscribers are "paid-up" and
need not the institution Of a
"Pay-up week." but to some it
is yet applicable statements will
follow to all one year or more in
arrears.

The Winchester Lumber & Coal Co.
at Winchester not only endeavors but
actually keeps in stock the very best
grades of Building Material and Build
ers' Supplies, and the prices are as low
as is consistent with quality.
The "Big Idea" is to provide what is
desired at price within reason and
"Give Satisfaction to the Limit" This
means in the long run increased bust
ness. The Winchester Lumber q Coal
Company has tried out this plan and
found il winner in every way. That,
after all, is the reason for the rapid in

We wish to state that you will make
no mistake by trading with the Win

avoid taking all chances when doing
this.

There IL nothing so important to the
CONNER ,ial Development Of the modern
city as an up-to-date establishment
where the men of the community can
satisfy their demands for clothing and
haberdashery This is the day and age
when the men of all ages must be neat

ping along these lines in some distant
city, the home community suffers ac-
cordingly.
In this part of the State the needs,
desires and demands of the male popu-

Strange to say there are some
people in this country forgiving the
allies what they owe us, claiming
that it is just and that it will slim
ulate business. Might go little
further and let Germany off paying
the thirty billions, The Times
fails to see the justice of giving
England and France ten billions
dollars and making Germany give
them thirty billions more and as to
the business stimulant, If this ten
billions could not be used else
where it could be put on our roads,
bring some of it to Powell. That
would be business stimulant sure
enough. Every cent of debt should
be collected from Englishmen and
Frenchmen just the same as from
Americans who must always GER
tainly pay Uncle Sam what is COM
ing to him or go to Jail.

The jitneys are always running in bad

editor Indiana Daily Times, city
'pear, Sir-Under the caption, 'Jitneys
or Street Cars in today's issue of the
Times, note you suggest the advocates
of a repeal be Intercepted. Acting on
your suggestion will endeavor to answer
this article. We note you use the com
mon expression an ordinance regulating
jitney bus traffic. The ordinance in
question should read an ordinance to elm
mate jitneys The jitney drivers of In

lation and are willing to cooperate IN
any such movement, but we would ike

could not operate under this law even II
two-thirds of it were repealed.
1.-The jitneys were off the streets but
few days when the street car company
made the assertion that the elimination
Of jitneys had helped but just a little
and that further relief was necessary.
1t might be well to draft an ordinance
that would prohibit persons from driv-
ing their own private cars. Just think
how much additional revenue this woulo
mean to the car company. Can you
ina CINE anything more ridiculous than
one firm asking the council to pass On
ordinance putting their competitors out
of business? That is what they did to
the jitney drivers. A few years ago
lhe TRACTION lines paFalieleu the steaui
mes and took practically all of the
short hauls. Did the steam lines try TO
legislate them out OF business?
According to the car company's own
statemenn the elimination of jitneys has
not given" the desired relief. Why, then,
should we deprive the public of this
service. Seventy five thousand citizens
of Indianapolis last September signed
petition favoring jitneys. These peo-
pie signed this petition because they
know what jitney service is. They

CONCERNING
ETHEL BARRYMORE.

The tribute of remaining in their seats
at the close of the play and calling her
back again and again was paid Ethel
Barrymore by the audience who saw
her in "Declassee'' at Englishs last night,
1t is so rarely that an Indianapolis audi
ence does this that it is an event.
1t is almost unnecessary to comment on
the acting Of Ethel Barrymore To say
that she Is a great actress would be as
trite as to say that Shakespeare was a
great poet. In "Declassee" she has made
the part of the woman whose life is as a
star shooting across the ornament into
the darkness great part. She has taken
what might have been only a mediocre
play, full of poetic mouthings and senti-
mental fancies, and made of it a great
success. In the hands of one less COM
petent 1t might not have lasted a month.
Miss Barrymore Is cast in the part of
a woman who is extravagant, impulsiye,
foolish, and at the same time pathetic,
a part that stirs the sympathies. As
Lady Helen Haden, daughter of one of
the noblest families Of England she APP
pears al the extravagant and rather
reckless wife of brute Of a husband.
At party she finds the man she loves
cheating at cards, There Is an unpleas-
ant scene In which the husband figures
and Lady Helen leaves home, never to
return.
We see her next in America where she
is selling her pearls one by one merely
TO gain subsistence.
She is reckless, even care-free on the
surface, but there is a shadow as she
gazes into the illimitible future and won
ders what will happen tomorrow. Then
It appears that she has found a solution
but by one Of the strange condolences
that occur so often in real life and &C
casionaIly in plays the situation changes.
The ending In a sense may be called
tragic, but the ending, nevertheless, IS
happy for a woman Of the nobility who
has become declassee in all but her noble
spirit.
Miss Barrymore makes the best Of ev
cry moment on the stage. She draws
the audience to her by her personality
and she holds It through some of the
scenes that might otherwise prove dull to
an ordinary audience. But with Miss
Barrymore in the part there can be no
dullness.
For the most part the supporting cast
is well chosen. A great deal could be
said about the acting Of Edward Emery.
In a less brilliant environment his act
ing would stand out remarkably. 0sher
members of the cast are Henry Daniel,
Cyril Delevanti, Charles Wellesley. Philip
Lord, Hubbard Kirkpatrick. Alfred
Hesse, Edward lie Hay. Virginia Chan
venet, Trby Marshall Jane West, Mary
r. De Wolf and Gabrielle Ravine.
If you miss "Declassee" you will miss
one Of the dramatic treats Of the season.
At English's the remainder of the week,
