New Menace to the Automobile.

In the Fresno court a man is being
sued for damages as a result of fail,
ure to hang tail light on black
heifer. 1t seems this heifer had de-
veloped a penchant for wandering
about country lanes and roads after
curfew time and stranger in an auto
mobile bumped into her, We are left
in ignorance as to the fate of the
heifer, but the automobile was dam.
aged to the amount of S229.52. The
owner of the automobile thinks the
owner of the heifer should pay.--San
Francisco Chronicle.

OF COURSE 1T PAYS

II you tell some people that it
pays 70 trade at home they will
question the accuracy Of your state
ment or merely content themselves
with careless perhaps.
For their benefit here is one Of
the why's.
In modern days the prosperity OF
n community depends upon the
amount Of money in circulation in
that community.
Ifa man goes to a near by city to
buy a suit of clothes the money ne
pays for the suit is ALL taken out
of the town. 1t is gone, and the
town doesn't see it again.
But if he buys the suit from a
home dealer The wholesale cost only
goes out Of town The merchants
profit and overhead expense remains
in the home town.
Figured on the basis Of single
suit for a single individual, 1t
amounts to nothing of importance,
but if multiplied into hundreds and
thousands of suits, and other ar
ticles Of wearing apparel, and shoes,
and hardware, and millinery, and
farm implements, and Building sup
plies, ard all OF the other articles
that enter into our daily life, it can
readily be seen that the two items
of overhead expense and profits, II
all kept at home by the patronizlng
of home dealers, would mean an
enormous amount Of money kept
in circulation right here in our own
community.
And YOU would get part OF
that money.
IT'S worth thinking over, because
it pays TO trade at home.

Had wronn Pair Shrinking.

She evidently was new clerk In
the department store, and was doing
her best to please. The customer
asked to see wool hose, Two pairs in
a size she wished were shown her
One pair was a trife larger than the
other.
The customer remarked that she
liked the smaller pair better, but that
she was afraid they were not quite
large enough. She wished they were
the same size as the others.
The clerk promptly replied: "Oh,
that is all right, madam. These, the
smaller ones, were made to shrink,
and the others we're not. They were
made to stay the size they are"

Word comes from Turkey to the
Moslem government will soon cause
law to be parsed limiting male
citizens to one wife each.
The Turk, damned from one end
Of Cbris'endom to the other, appears
to be taking step upward, and for
the better.
In this country some of our gay
birds with money are breaking into
limelight with so many wives it is
difficult to understand how they
keep track of them without having
them catalogued and tagged.
But it's all in life time, even if
some lives are mighty full-of wives.

Complains Air Has Been Stolen.

The air is free, however much the
rest of our environment may be in
the possession of other folk, is a con-
soling thought that may now be de-
MED to us. At any rate, an American
citizen has become so depressed In his
mind that he has entered court and
declared that even the atmosphere
and all of its contents and component
parts have passed into the hands of
conspirators who violate the Sherman
act by hogging up all of the $4,000
ether-wave lengths available to his
broadcasting station.-The Nations

DOCTOR DOES NOT SIGN
EATH CERTIFICATE

mean that about one-third Of our PEG
