 Two speed cops are now at work in Lipscomb, according to statements of persons who have recently been arrested for speeding in that town ship, and also according to state ments of leading citizens of rnat mu- nicipality. Citizens of Lipscomb state that the extra additional mo- torcycle policeman has been on duty only for the past four or five days
 Recently arrests of motorists oa speeding charges by the town of Lipscomb has caused comment over the entire district, and the resent ment thus created fs believed to be largely responsible for the recent ef- forts to dissolve the township. A publication is being made at this time of an act to be introduced. at the present session of the legislature to abolish the township. This bill is now being carried in Bessemer paper.

ADVICE TO DRIVERS

Don't have your batteries charged pay cash.
 If your piston rings don't an- swer.
 The Golden Rule should be tae rule of the road.
 You may have right of way but trucks have right of weight.
 Where the road is narrow use more horse sense than horse power. When either man or motor knocks there's something wrong.
 The wreckless are not reckless.
 Don't exceed the speed limit even he who travels in rut has time to enjoy the scenery.

MEMS FOR THE MARRIED

An antipodean student of woman in the marriage relation comes to some entertaining though perhaps not entirely justified conclusions. Here are few of them:
 The wise woman knows how to be foolish when her husband wishes to be clever.
 Every woman longs for romance. but most have to be content with husbands.
 Selfshness is a quality in husbands which prevents wives from getting all they want.
 The wise man doesn't attempt to understand women; he merely tries to get along with them.
 A woman is only what men have made her. This applies particular ly to selfish women.
 The happiness of a married cou- ple doesn't depend on their loving each other, but on their not loving anyone else.
 Every one knows how wonderful a woman can look. but it is only the husband who knows how wonderful it is that she can look so wonderful.

A FIDAPPER'S PRAYER.

I want the lights that brightly
 shine want the men. I want the wine, want the fun without paying the
 price, want to be naughty and yet be
 nice, ] want the thrill of long slow kiss. And all the thrills that good girls
 miss. I want the arms and heart of a man And yet stay single, as long as I
 can. So. at a lawyer. give me some
 advice. On how to be naughty and yet
 be nice, want to do what other girls do. Tease. cuddle up. bill and coo. Blacken my eyes and powder my
 nose,> Rouge my cheeks and pencil my lips Tango a little, shimmy lot, Park my corsets when the weather
 gets hot. Take the fence instead of the gate. Break all records. yes, all but one And be good and true when the
 game is done, I don't like pepper but I do like
 spice, want to be naughty, but, I want
 to be nice.
 The Advice. The advice that I give you is
 sound and true, You can't eat your pie and have it
 too, If you want the men and want the Why someone must pay, while you
 love and dine, r the first one yields a moments
 bliss Why the next must De ioHSer
 kiss If you want the arms of man,
 or heart, If you want the things that the
 good girls miss, You've got to be wiser than most girls, miss. It's a problem old, to be had tho
 nice, To watch your step is my advice, Go to it kid. with your grease
 and paint, To make you look like what you
 ain't. Shimmy and drink to your hearts
 content. And be hugged and squeezed till
 your ribs are bent. Park your corsets, on a hickory
 limb, But never my dear, go in to swim, Bathe if you will on the dewey green Rut you can't use mud and still
 be clean, The game that you play is mans
 long suit, Since Eve first nibbled forDiooen
 fruit, Whatever you get. you will pay the
 price. You can't be naughty and yet be
 nice.

TOLD BY THE FINGERS

The ambitious person has long fingers.
 The amiable. easy-going person has short fingers.
 Large fingers mean slow inteilec- tpality and common tastes.
 Thumbs that curve downward show shrewdness and miserlness.
 If his fingers are fat. he's lazy. The same applies to his fiancee.
 Markedly pointed fingers indicate religious fervor and imagination.
 Small. thin fingers bespeak a clever. acute mind, somewhat given to deceit.
 A coarse, brutal nature is disclOs- ed by fingers as large at the tips as at the roots.
 Lean fingers indicate simple tastes. perhaps leaning too much to- ward penuriousness.
 The strength of your will power is measured by the length of the upper joint of the thumb.
 Thumbs that are coarse, heavy and undeveloped belong to rude and ignorant persosn.
 If your fiance has square fingers you may count on his being firm in his opinions, reasonable, and quite an orderly person.
