went the entire race without a stop. This
and every other important race this year
was won on Firestone Gum Dipped
Cords and Steam Welded Tubes. Such
performance gives you conclusive proof
of their strength and durability.
Not only do race drivers use Firestone
Tires as protection to their lives and the
surest way to victory, but the largest
tire buyers in the world insist on and
buy Firestone Tires for economy and
service. These buyers include the leading
car manufacturers, the biggest CONNER
cial car operators and the taxicab and
notorious operators. 57,63o,714 tire
miles were sold to taxicab and notorious
operators in the month of August.
Think this over. You cannot afford
to accept anything less than Firestone
service and economy. You can buy this
service and economy from any of the
dealers listed below.

SURPRISE PARTIES

One of the most common social
events in many country localities is
the surprise party. If Il family has
had difficulties, the neighbors are
apt to get together some night with
gifts of substantial character that
will help them by their hard rub.
Or if some one has done exception
ally good work in the community, if
such a one has sung in the choir or
organized Sunday school classes, or
or carried the burden in local
society, the neighbors are apt to get
together and offer some valuable
gift in token of appreciation.
Such occasions reveal the fine
neighborly spirit that exists in
modern country towns. They bind
people closer together and cultivate
friendship and cooperation.

n NICE oyster dish little out OF
n the ordinary and one which may
be used for luncheon or Sunday night
supper Is
EccaIIoped Oysters and Celery.
Allow two dozen oysters TO serve
four or FIVE persons, one cupful OF
diced celery parboiIed for fifteen min
utes in a very little water and the
water used with the oyster liquor in
the escalloped dish. Drain the oy-
sters and place layer in a buttered
baking dish, cover with celery, a few
crushed cracker crumbs and pepper
and salt to taste, dotting each layer
with bits Of butter. Repeat, using but
two layers of oysters, finish with cell
cry. crumbs and the oyster and Gel
cry liquor mixed with one-quarter OF
cupful of cream. Finish with but
tered crumbs and bake long enough
to brown the crumbs. More than two
layers of oysters in a baking dish
is not advisable as the top and bot
tom layers will lie overlooked before
the inner layer is cooked.

BACK AT SCHOOL

The Christmas holidays brought
TO I,cesburg, home and friends
the pleasant personalities of a
number Of young folks, some OF
them teachers, some Of them college
students, some Of them attendants
in schools other than here. They
have all had an enjoyable visit; the
old town reveled in their coming
and their stay. The social calendar
WIS filed to overlooking and the
spirit of the Yuleti1e was rife for
the whole period. They stayed to
welcome the coming OF the New
Year with its roseate morn and Its
promise Of achievement-but,
though in one sense we hated to
see them return to the sterner duties
that are theirs, in another wegladly
babe them good bye" fora period,
that they might again embark IN
tile steady beat that carries them
through channels that lead to a
mature education and matIre and
finished manhood and vomanhood.
They are our" boys and girls.
We feel an interest keener than
they might think, in them, and we
bid them God.speed in their aspira-
tions, though not without word OF
caution to them that they grasp the
golden opportunities that are afford
ed them.
Boys and girls, assert yourselves;
turn MOTTO the frivolities Of life too
much at this time Meet your Prob
lens with unwonted mien and
master them. The world is looking
to YOU for its betterment. Shall
the world be disappointed?&3 cry,
May"

PLANNING FOR ANOTHER YEAR

The New Years time is q period
when many folks look ahead and
think Of the things they want to do
during the year. Imaginative young
people are specially apt to cherish
roseate dreams of some large achieve
ment they expect to reach before
the twelve-month ends.
In the main this looking ahead is
useful. The people who drift along
year after year without setting any
goals to ambition are apt to be con-
tent with small achievement.
The old fashioned father used
about this time to lay out q certain
sized woolplle for the bo.3s to cut up.
1t looked awful big to them. They
groaned in spirit as they thought OF
the innumerable swings of the buck
saw and strokes of the axe that
would be required to work up that
wood. But their spirit of achieve
ment was melted by the laying out
of a definite stint" to be accom-
plished. Father with his wise head
knew that he got more wood cut if
he gave the kids q mark to aim at
Many business concerns at this
time are looking ahead, and setting
certain marks OF sales that they
wish to make in 1923. Their sales
men are urged to bring in II greater
total than they made in 1922.
Aiming at high figure stirs the
energy of of human nature. People
who at first doubted if they could
reach the goal set, often find that
they not merely reach it. but go
much beyond it.
The community should have its
marks of achievement toward which
it is looking with hope and purpose.
Here in Leesburg our people may
we'll make New Year survey of
of their present condition and needs.
1t would be helpful thing if or
community organizations could lay
out certain definite civic tasks that
ought to be finished in 1923, and
exert energy to get them done.
High purposes count in community
work just as in personal ambition.

ALL TRUE

Then there is the man and brother
who pronounces bomb as il it were
spelled "balm."
Said one OK to another: eve should
not criticize our human masters too
severely. They kill each other almost
as readily as they kill u.s."
Men who spend all their evenings at
home seldom run the world; however,
they are a great help to those who do.
Haircuts have risen 40 to 80 per
cent in some cities. Well, in the Sew
enteenth century men wore their hair
a foot and half long and curled it /;
and that was worse.
Travelling for ones health is quite
often simply trying to forget ones i'll
ness; but that's something.
When everything is fixed just right
in a carefully guarded world, young
men will not SOW any more wild oats.
Maybe they will grow mignonette.

AFTER MARCUS AURELlUS

Example has hypnotic force.
Sincerity is inclined to obedience.
Anything worth while is life job.
Innocence is an empty form of life.

He that discovers our vulnerable

lighted by a candle that One-Ear
had lighted.
When they looked down they shiv-
cred with fear. for there they saw
One-Ear kneeling before a painted
image carved in the wall. Beside
him lay Meadow-Sng. bound hand
and foot. One Ears face was smeared
with black dirt. and he was making
strange signs with an owls feather
in bed of sand.
He's practicing black magic"
whispered Snood hoarsely. HE only
does that when something terrible is
about to happen"
BY now One-Ear was swaying on
his knees, grooming a weird chant
and holding out toward the image
/ the same buckskin map that Snood
had seen him unfold in the Martinez
shack the night before. He was be-
seeching the idol to tell him where
the treasure lay hidden.
''Treasure," whispered Piffies and
Snood in one breath. so it's treasure
he's after.
Just then One-Ear ceased chanting
and began slow dance about Mead
ow- Sing, who lay writhing on the
