A LETTER FROM INA
Dear Aunt Mary:

- 1890
This is to let you know that l am
about ready to begin my spring house
cleaning. AS l was looking over my
pantry shelves I found that nearly
all my Watkins extracts and spices
were getting low. I do hope the Wat
kins man will soon be here again as
I am out of so many of his products.
If you have not bought your spices
and extracts wait for him, as it is
time for him to canvass the town
again soon, or if you need anything
at once, his box number is 672.
Did you ever try his furniture pol
ish? Oh, boy, it's swell, and his
washing compound is sure death to
dirt.
Yours,
SIT Ina Wisebuyer.

TIME TO VIEW WITH ALARs
Startling Exploit Of Pennsylvania Girl
Whose Fiance Was in the
Sheriff's Custody

Had an Oppenheim, a Chambers or
a McGrath written tale few years
ago of girl who forced her way into
sheriff's home and then, single-hand-
ed, freed her fiance from the nearby
Jail with the aid of the keys and a re-
volver she obtained in her housebreak-
ing, readers would have been amused
at the idea q girl could do such a
thing.
But truth continues to make fiction
look silly. And times have changed.
The Warren (Pa.) girl who did that
thing is a type that the writer's Of
shockers have not caught up with as
yet. There are policewomen and
women deputy sheriffs today-also girl
bandits. Milady in her emancipated
state both enforces the laws and
breaks them. No task Is too much for
her.
II the facts in this case were as they
are told, here was love laughing at the
locksmiths and the sheriff and all the
embattled array Of the forces Of law
and order. That's the way the movie
scenario writers would look at it.
Many other persons will take that In
judicial attitude toward the exploit Of
this lass. too.
But are not the ladies going bit
too far? Nobody, not even judges and
juries, have objected very strenuously
SO far to women shooting up their hus-
bands at odd times. even to their
shooting up other peoples husbands.
But If they are to be permitted to
break open the, jails to get their
chosen ones out Of durance. Of what
use will be jails or policemen or laws.

ECUADOR PINEAPPLEs HUGE
They Grow to Weight Of Twenty-Five
Pounds in the Province OF

Ecuador is fast becoming a great
fruit-growing country, said Frank Ed

the New York Times.
"Pineapples grow to a weight of %
pounds in the province of Esmeral-
das," he declared. "This is about
twice the size Of the pineapres grown
in Hawaii and shows that we must
have very superior soil. Moreover,
there is no place in the world that
produces such large, thin-skinhed.

Indications are that the province

There are great number of oil seep-
ages which would indicate q great pro-
duction Of high-gravity oil. The char
acter Of this oil is higher than the ia
nous Pennsylvania oil, and has been
produced in Ecuador for the last 300
years, but it is only recently that mod
ern machinery has been used for drill
ing, with. excellent success. One month
ago an English company brought in a
well Of 300 barrels an hour Of SO gray

encourage immigration, which is stead

LAWS MADE TO BE ENFORCED

The prohibition question still re-
mains one of the most agitated ques-
lions in this country-in some sec
tions. Reports from the Middle
West, West and South show that pro-
hibition is undoubtedly effective. In
the East it continues to be bitterly
fought issue. But regardless of in
dividual sentiment, the 18th Amend
ment and the Federal Enforcement
Act are laws of this land. made so by
action of its Congress, President,
Legislative Assemblies of practically
all the States, and the Supreme
Court, and as such, the laws must
be enforced. Other laws are not
popular with some people-the
Narcotic Law and others are quite
unpopular with those who would
smuggle in drugs, yet can anyone
conscientiously say the laws should
not be enforced.-Ex.

NEW ONE DOLLARS BILLS ISSUED


Hereafter all bills of the same de-
nomination will look exactly alike
but will be entirely different in ap-
pearance from bills of other denom-
nations. Thousands of new 81 bills
have been placed at the disposal of
banks.
The object of the change is to
make counterfeiting doubly difficult.
Under the new system it will be al
most impossible to raise 81 bill to a
$40 bill or SO bill to a $40 bill be-
cause of difference in appearance.
The new 81 bill bears the picture
of George Washington where the
picture of the eagle now is. The
eagle has been taken off. The new
bills start with the number Ala.
The first bill ALA will be presented
to President Coolidge.
