Character is Asset

In the present whirlpool of the
world, character is the highest
paid thing.
It's not easy to- find; it's not so
easy to buy, and that's why it COM
mands SO high a price.
Character, for some, is not hard
to keep, and not easy to lose.
In the acquisition of hinder
ance, and culture may tend to
dull the sense of character; it
grows more easily in a small town
than in the big city; it is nur-
tured more easily among humble
folks, than among the gay lights.
In all generations it is success;
in all generations, real bliss and
happiness follow it; in all genera
tions, it finds great praise, and
honor, and glory.
Character can make out Of a
shiftless criminal a most useful
and self-sacrifcing citizen. Char
acter can make out of a dying
hamlet, a live-wire community
Character can make out of an
irresponsible do-nothing, an up
and-doing, and progressive man Of
affairs.
The language of character is a
language that we all understand
The admiration for character is an
admiration that is universal. The
rewards of character are rewards
that are as sure as the sunshine
In America let us have NOR e
permanence, and more desire for
stability. In America let there be
more Lincolns, and Roosevelts, and
Stonewall Jacksons.

Jazz by Barnyard Bulls.

Ever see a cow dance? No? And
it is likely that most people would
be skeptical if they were told that
common old barnyard COW or
bull could be found doing a jazz
step to the time of music.
They're so darn dumb, IS the
usual comment. Yet Johnnie Agee,
former chief trainer for Ringing
Brothers circus, has induced a
couple of numbering bulls to do a
dance-and lot of other things.

Announcing the Jewett with
New COlOrs and Balloon Tire Comfort

MO need to ask will Jewett serve
l y well-a billion miles service has
proved it for you!
Jewetfs giant-six motor was created
for Paige that sold at $4,000. Five
years have been used developing its
perfection. No novel, freakish, doubt
full ideas are embodied in it!
Jewett'S motor is large -20% to 40%
larger than usual in cars its size. At
slow car speed, Jewetts motor pulls
easily through mud, sand, and uphill in
high. It's not strained or overtaxed, be-
cause it is of ample size. So it stands up
wonderfully.
With such reserve of power Jewett
gets away quickly five to twenty-five
miles an hour in seven seconds! YetitS
motor revolves moderately compared
with the speed of the car. Another
reason for long lived power! Metal

The late season has put the corn
crop so far behind that the pro-

BELIEVE CITY
 SHORTAGE AUDIT
 IS ABOUT READY
Accountant Appeared Be- fore Grand Jury
 Wednesday

City hall buzzed with excitement Wednesday when inside information was unloosed that the final report of F. Hopkinson Smiths shortage audit is about to be delivered to the commission
 The appearance of MT. Smith and Comptroller Armstrong before the grand jury caused belief that the report is ready, but Mir. Smith emphatically de- clared he was 'still at work"
 Asked if he placed partial report before the grand jury, Mir. Smith ans wered, You didn't see my pockets bulging when l went over. did you?'
 Mir. Smith and his assistant, J. V. r. Arnold then proceeded to joke with the reporters, as is their usual custom.
 Smith said he went to the courthouse ''to wish the grand jurors merry Christmas" and Arnold announced that the shortage now stands at not more than $2,500,000.'
 Ledgers and other records were spread before the auditors and every thing indicated that they were putting the finishing touches on the audit, which city hall has awaited with more or less dread for several months.
 Officials and employees alike look for the report before the end of the week.

MRS. PALMER URGES
 MORE EXECUTIONS
Use Of Rope To Curb Crime
 Is Advocated

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-More and bet ter 'hangings and less sobbing over the plight of the youthful gunman, axe murderer and thug was urged by Mrs George Thomas Palmer, resident of the Illinois Federation of Women's clubs, in an address before leaders of that body here.
 I've are the most lawless nation on earth, and our crime record is unequalled by any city on the globe" she declared Wednesday. With such a condition why do we talk about abandoning capi- tai punishment? Every five and half years, more lives are lost through crime than were lost in the last war.
 There is lot of sentimentality in regard to youthfulness in crime she said. "We are told that criminals are boys and that they are too young to hang. Yet they are old enough to vote; they are old enough to get married. Why then are they not old enough to take the consequences of their acts.'

U. s. DEVELOPS
 NEW NAVY GUN,
 WILBUR REVEALS
Secretary's Request For Bigger Navy Attracts
 Wide Attention
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Stress laid by Secretary Wilbur on the imme- diate need for the construction of 10000 ton type cruisers to bring the navy up to 5-5-3 ratio equivalent with other treaty powers attracted attention today to be proable size and power of these post-treaty craft as planned by American navy designers.
 Details of the plans have not been diyulged by the department, although a provision for laying down eight of these ships is contained in the pending naval increase bill and there is reason to believe the general board has recom- mended increasing this number to a dozen vessels.
 Reveals Important Detail
 The naval secretary did reveal one highly significant detail in his state ment Monday to the house committee. He disclosed that navy ordnance ex- perts have developed new type of eight-inch rifle, that being the limit of size of guns for auxiliary craft set by the treaty.
 By increasing the initial velocity of the eight-inch shell the striking power can be and has been greatly increased" he said.
 Increased velocity could be obtained either by improved explosives or in creased length of gun. Since the navy adopted 51-caliber, six-inch gun for the only modern cruisers now in com mission, the ten light vessels of 7,50O tons, it appears probable that the eight-lnch guns have been increased ill power A -caliber, eightinch gun would be weapon 3S feet in length, or almost as long as the one time 13- inch monsters of that historic old war rior, the Oregon, queen of the navy in her day. Those were 35-caliber guns.
 Number Not Revealed
 The number of guns each of the ten thousand tonners is to mount has been not disclosed Limitations have come from aboard, however, that the British post treaty cruisers will carry eight or ten eight-inch guns or possibly nine. mounted in trios under light housing to protect them from the rush of water in a seaway so they could fight even under such conditions. The size of the ships presumably would permit such armament without radical loss in the high speed necessary for the carrying out of their mission. It is to be ex- pected tha tthe plans of both services contemplate gun power consisted with high speed and full capacity for 10000 or 12,000 miles without refueling.
