MEDBURY
SAYS
BY John P. Medbury.

by John +. Medbury.
~ RANCE has at least made
confidant of America. She
- confided to us the other day
that she'd never be able to pay
the money she owes us.
She blames it on us. She says
it's our fault for lending her SO
much.
Poincare says he'll be more
than glad to pay every cent he
borrowed If some diplomat will
tell him what to use for money.
They ought at least to send us
the interest in French pastry.
But Frances treasury is emp
tier than a bathtub in a plumb
er's window.
They came over and borrowed
our money by airpIane and it
looks like they're going to send
Il back by snails.
We still have the good will of
France, but it's hard to pay the
soldiers bonus with it.
After this, America should re-
fuse to fight any more European
wars on the installment plan.
The next time the War Depart.
ment goes to France, we'll send
our doughboys over there CO. D.
The terms on our soldiers will
be I. o. b. HOkoken.
When we loaned France those
millions of dollars, we did it
gladly, but the next time
French diplomat comes to Wash
ington President Coolidge is go
ing to put handouts on the
Secretary of the Treasury.
When q foreigner comes to this
country on sightseeing trip the
first place he wants TO visit is
the mint.
And he usually succeeds in TAX
ing a billion dollars worth of
souvenirs back with him.
France promised to return orr
money on rainy day, but ut tire
rate they're paying it back you'd
think we had nothing but won
derful weather over here.
Poincaire demands indemnity
from Germany on account of the
damage the Germans did to
France. The French people must
have forgotten the damage they
did to our Treasury.
OF course they left lot of
milk, but they SKINNED all the
cream off the top Of our safe.
Every one of the dollars we
loaned them has our national
bird printed on it, but the eagles
can't fly home because Poincare
has clipped their wings.
It's too bad that instead of the
eagle, we didn't adopt the parrot.
then our money i'm France could
start in to hOlIer.
There's an old saying that
money talks, but there isn't q
harsh word in one of the dollars
that France borrowed from us.

Buy by the Case


Miss Marie Sellers, the food au-
thority, recently advised the follow
ing to housewives:
There is a decided saving in buy
ing most of the brands of canned
goods by the case; or even the dozen
can lots. For instance, in buying No.
2 cans which run "a to the case there
is usually a reduction equal to the
price of two cans. 1t is true that
there are certain foods that are al
ready priced so low per can that it
is not possible to make reduction
on the Dozen"
Miss Sellers added:
"Once you have decided on the
brand or brands of canned goods and
the size cans that best fit your needs,
keep a record of how much you use
Of each particular kind, to help you
with your food budgeting for the
next year. This will be of special
value if you have an opportunity to
buy at sale and want to make sure
that you do not overload on any one
particular kind"

NEW TODAY
NEW AUTO INSURANCE
RATES ARE ANNOUNCED

NEW YORK. - Owners of private
passenger automobiles throughout the
country will save several millions Of
dollars yearly and will at the same
time get broader insurance protec-
ton than ever before, as a result OF
a revision of the rates and rules for
automobile accident insurance put
into effect in January by the Ma
tional Bureau of Casualty and Surety
Underwriters.
Tho new schedule shows an aver
age reduction Of 6 per cent in the
rates for public liability insurance for
the country as a whole and reduc-
lions as high as 20 per cent in some
cities.
Heretofore many automobile own
ers. in order to secure the lowest
possible rates for accident insurance,
have agreed to use their cars for
pleasure only and to see that no
one else drove their cars; thus the
wife, grown sons and daughters, and
other relatives were restrained from
driving the family car. Under the
new rules, one policy gives insurance
protection to all the persons who
may at different times drive any one
car and the same rate applies wheth-
er the car is used for business pur-
poses or for pleasure only.
In making the new rates public,
Jesse 8. Phillips, general manager Of
the National Bureau, said:
For the first time the insurance
companies are able to base the rates
for automobile accident insurance in
each city on the actual accident OK
perience of automobiles in that par
ticular city. Heretofore rates were
based on the accident experience Of
groups of cities of similar size. The
new plan makes it possible for each
city to benefit directly from any ef-
fective safety work that it may have
done. Before determining the. new
schedule of rates, a staff of experts
at the headquarters of the National
Bureau and in the home Offices OF
the insurance companies, studied the
three-year accident experience OF
more than 100000 automobiles in ISL
cities and territories.
zone of the most significant reve-
lations of this study was the fact
that the automobile owner is not
the most careful automobile driver,
the assumption on which reduced
rates were given the automobile
owner who specified that no other
person would drive his car. This
discovery is interpreted by many in
surance men as indicating that the
wife is just as careful a driver as
her husband, if not more careful
"The greatest reductions in rates
are made in cities of medium size
and in the rural districts of the South
and Far West, as these territories
show the greatest reduction in motor
vehicle accidents in recent years."

Nearly 2O,OOO,000 active church

Il see you're playin' a tune on the

Il see you're playin' tune on the

Wallie replied Stiffly:
Eyes, I'm doing little laundry.
Pinkey's criticism of the cake still
ranked.

ulously. "You only bought it Thanks

There was time when wore q

Pinkey stared at him awe-stricken
Il wouldn't think changin' as often
as that would be healthy"
The clothes in the dishpan on the

jumped for the broom-handle to poke
them under, Pinkey demanded:
Are you bilin' your flannens?"
Certainly"
"a 1O-year-ol' boy can't git in that

added, disgustedly: "Wallie, don't
you know nuthin'?"
Wallie looked his CONSERVATION.
"Ill know better next time" he
said, humbly
Pinkey consulted his watch and
limited:
Don't you want me to make the
bread?"
"No, have some biscuits to warm
over, we'll boil potatoes, thaw the
cake out, open some pineapples, and
with what l have in the oven we will
have dinner thatll be nothing
short of banquet"
Great! I'm so hungry I could eat
with a Digger Injun."
Wallie opened the oven door.
They're browning beautifully" he
reported.
"Chickens?"
Wallie shook his head:
Il shan't tell you until you've
passed upon them.
eff you've got enough of whatever
it is-that's all that's worryin' me"
declared Pinkey, hungrily. you'd
ought to build you a root cellar next
winter-if you're livin'," he remarked
as the potatoes ratified when Wallie
dropped them in the kettle.
do you suppose l could grow po-
tatoes? Is it too dry?"
This is great country for pota-
toes. There's somethin' in the soil
that gifts in the potatoes eyes and
makes 'em water so they irrigate
themselves. Shore! you can grow

announced Wallie, hopefully. II
wish you could come over for awhile
and help me-"
"That mightn't be bad idea," said
Pinkey, thoughtfully. "Sence the
country went dry I don't much care
whether 1 draw wages or not-they's
nothin' to spend money for, so
what's the use of workin'? If l was
over here 1 might add few feet to

"Do you see much of him?" Wallie
asked, indifferently.
TOO much" said Pinkey, shortly.
There was a large increase in cop

They're browning beautifully" he
exclaimed hastily.
"You said that before. Amt it

Remove your feet and I'll set the

Cant you spread paper for a

Wallie laughed good-humoredly as
he obliged him.
That's shore great smell comm

are not going to be disappointed.
You sit down while put things on
