No Room Anywhere for

No Room Anywhere for
the SluEEard.
"As vinegar to the teeth and smoke

them who send im."-Proverbs 10

How true this really is, and as we
come in contact with humanity in our
journey through life we find this
truth cropping out nearly every day
II you are an employer, is there any
thing more irritating than q man not
to be depended upon in an emer-
gency? If you are in business, is
there anything more aggravating
than the slow pay sluggard! II you
are working in q gang, what makes
you madder than the sluggard who is
always just q little behind and piles
the work upon you? Then there is
the sluggard on a committee, the
sluggard in your church or lodge, as
we'll as the sluggards that are some
times sent to represent the people in
state or national affairs.

Eugenic advocates are said to be

such a law is ever adopted and we
are relegated into the animal class
it's going to add new worry to many
whether they will be placed in the
plain shoat class or among the prize
winners that are decorated with blue

Community christmas free

Plans for the Community Christmas
Tree are going forward with the same
accuracy and unselfish kindness as has
characterized the work of this commit
tee for many years. The wonderful
tree so beautifully lighted and the de-
lightful music, the air of Christmas
cheer for the whole town and commun-
ity was given for the first time
last Christmas but the gifts for the
needy, the sick and unfortunate, so
carefully planned and lavishly dis
tributed, bringing happiness and
cheer at Christmas time are only con-
tinuation of the splendid work that has
been done year after year by some of
Woodstock's most thoughtful and
generous citizens, assisted by all who
wished to spread this blessed message
of ''Peace on Earth, Good will to men"
A Committee of Knights of King
Arthur Lodge K. of P. are in charge of
arrangements for the Community tree
and it is confidently expected that all
organizations, the churches and
each man, woman and child in the
town will this year assist in furthering
this splendid community spirit, which
will not only make Christmas merry,
but the entire New Year happier and
a more prosperous one, with all work
ling together for the welfare of the
town and community. "In unity Is
strength"

The PLEDGE OF CAREFULNESS.

In another part of this issue will be
found an excellent article from the
Highway Education Board with re-
gard the training of children in habits
of safety on the highways. The train
ing is of vast importance and it would
be we'll for the children after their
course is ended to give course in
training to the grown folks, many of
whom are more careless Than children.
AS the pupils rush down Court Street
from the High School building just
across a most dangerous Railroad
Crossing, thru one of the very busiest
streets of the town, back and forth
across this street in front of swiftly
passing cars, some with careless driv-
ers, we are forcibly reminded that
There is special providence that
watches over children and fools.
The teachers of both the High Schools
and the Grades do their duty in re-
minding the children and in making
rules, but they cannot be with them
at all times, and it is impossible TO
Put old heads on young shoulders"
Other towns and cities have signs
reading "Drive slowly, please, School
near" Why not have notices of the
kind posted in Woodstock, and if
motorists do not obey, mahe them do so.
The loss of one little life or the
making of cripples for life, is of more
importance tnan the little time a busy
man makes in rushing thru this thoro-
fare.
Adults as we'll as children should
read and re-read the pledge of Care
fulness" and remember to act upon it !
just along this line it would be we'll to
add that time after time local cars
have been seen to rush across not
only this crossing, in front of an oncom-
ing train on the Southern R. R., but
also at Locust and the Spring Street
Crossings. Don't try beat the trains at
their own game on their own grounds,
or you may be the loser.

The NATIONAL MALE QUARTET

Al the New Theatre, Monday night.
November 26th.
The National Male Quartet composed
of clever, versatile artists, is one of the
finest quartets before the public. All
are accomplished musicians and have
unusual ability, as singing male quar-
tet, as soloists, and in instrumental
music.
Each member is chosen for his indi-
vidual merit and his artistic value to
the program as whole. Particular
attention was paid to the blending OF
the voice compass with the result that
the quartet produces tones seemingly
but one voice.
Stirring songs, worthwhile selec-
ions on musical instruments, clever
character delineations, and comedy
talking sketches combined with rea
quartet music are the features promi
nent in the programs of the Nationa
Male Quartet.
Be sure to hear this fine quartet.

advantage of all concerned:
Prepay postage fully on all matter.
Address all matter plainly and COM

Do not inclose letters with parcels,
as doing so would subject entire par
GELS to letter postage.
Mail parcel early. This does not
mean simply mail early in the holiday
season but also means TO mail early in
the day. A good number of patrons
put off mailing their parcels each day
until they come to the office for their
mail when the afternoon train arrives,
thereby this creates agreatrush and in
some instance their parcels cannot get
worked until late in the day and in
some instance do not leave the office
until the next morning. Ii as many
patrons as could possibly do so mail
their parcels early in the day this con-
dition would not exist.

TURKEYS PLUCKED AS DEAD, PROVE
ONLY DEAD DRUNK

Cristfield, Md, Nov. 20.-Those
who believe in turkey for dinner on
Thanksgiving Day around Kingston
have new brand of spiced turkeys.
Some one in that region made a little
hooch on the quiet and threw the mash
away. Not long after ward several
turkeys were found apparently dead,
and the owner promptly plucked them
for their feathers.
To her CONSERVATION few hours
afterward she found the turkeys pa
rading around the house without the
sign Of feather on them.
Virtually the same thing has &C.
Cured on the place of retired en-
gineer, near Cristfield, his poultry
imbibing too freely Of barrel of
strawberry juice. They too, were
found apparently dead, but managed
to keep their feothers.
The Thanksgiving stock however
has been pretty well Favored.

XMAS SAVINGS AT LOCAL
BANK lisa SUCCESS
CLUB FOR 1898 WENT WELL

CLUB FOR 1923 WENT WELL.
The Christmas Savings Club con.
Quoted by the Shenandoah National
Bank Of Woodstock has become "ell
established as profitable and con-
venient means of saving ones money.
The idea of setting aside little each
week that club members may have a
large sum in the end with which to buy
Christmas presents is becoming in
creasingly popular each year More
and more people feel that the more
they can give on Chris tmas, the better
they enjoy the Christmas season.
In the broader sense, Christmas
saving means much more than just
saving money. 1t encourages intelli-
gent spending. 1t encourages con-
serving time, labor and everything
that makes for success. Giving up
few of the little things that one may
have something of greater value later
on is the principle behind all saving.
And this idea soon takes hold of the
members of the Christmas Savings
Club. AS they cultivate the habit OF
saving it is not long before they set
higher goal for themselves than saving
for Christmas, and then they are well
on the road to financial independence.
Many people who never saved before
have started Through joining one OF
the yearly Christmas Savings Clubs OF
the Shenandoah National Bank The
good habits thus formed cannot help
but have beneficial effects upon this
entire community.
The officers of the institution will
gladly give you full information about
the club and will cooperate with you
in selecting the best method OF saving
to suit your own needs. The banker
receives no direct profit on your mem
bership excepting the value of your
friendship and the knowledge that
once you have acquired the knack of
saving the chances favor your becom-
ing a regular depositor.

A portion of the grinding plant was
destroyed, the rock crusher is a total

The loss is partially covered by in

Strasburg's excellent fire company
responded promptly and rendered val
