Rim Factory
What other factories has Upton

asked.
well, now they used to have a
right smart lot of factories and l

don't know so much about them.
There was one I knew about though.
1t was a collapsible rim factory for
automobiles but the factory collapsed
before the rim cid and a lot of
folks lost the money they put in.

Still Owes Money
When we arrived in Upton, the
weather was bad and the rain
threatened. I took shelter in a
garage.
IT hear you lost one of your fac

of conversation.
Eyes, right over there in that red
building. I knew the man who

By Nell Gordon
After hot day in Brown County,
where I found the roads to be mar
row and dusty with the hills shut
ting off what little breeze existed,
I was pleased when a young man
from Peoria, Ill, asked me to ride.
He was en- route from Louisville
10 Noblesville, and I accepted his
hospitality to the edge Of the latter
city, where I alighted and started
north.
A big truck filled with sand soon
overlook me, and as looked up
at the driver he produced a red
handkerchief from his pocket,
brushed the dust off the seat beside
him, and, remarking that riding is
sometimes better than walking" Of
fered me a lift.
AS soon as 1 was seated he said:
"I have been reading after you in
the papers"
1 asked him his name and where
he was taking the sand to. Also l
explained to him that many married
men refuse to let me put their names
in the paper, although they are kind
in offering me rides.
"They are fixing to put In water
works at Arcadia and the sand is
for the tower" he explained after
telling me his name was Will Cay
lor. at guess there is a lot of jeal-
ousy in the world, but my wife and
I meet each other half way on that.
Size never gets jealous and 1 never
give her cause to worry so we go

@sf Fields of Tomatoes
As we rode along I noted field
after field of tomato vines, but failed
to see the fruit
"Is it too early for the tomatoes, -?
] asked.
Eyes, they are a little late this
season. Seems like the rain washed
the blossoms off considerable and
made the fruit late. Maybe, too,
there will come an early frost and
ketch the fruit. That kind of a crop
is usually pretty uncertain business
for the farmer" he explained.
When we reached Arcadia, the
destination Of the load Of sand, 1
wondered how far I would have to
hike as the weather was threaten
ing, and not car in sight. How
ever, was soon stopped by L. c.
Hines of Ekin, who proved to be
equally as hospitable as the sand
man.

planned when he asked me my

He had several things to do before
he was ready to recover the missing
front wheel. That would be the
final detail, he decided. He was not
essailed by the Smallest doubt that

the big Underwood car was kept

the other way, that's their charm.
Clothiers gathered in solemn
conclave decide that the "real gen
tleman" must have a different
necktie for every shirt, thus
demonstrating his artistic taste
and his exclusiveness." Exclusive
ness, doubtless, is desirable. But
if each young American, for each
fancy shirt and necktie that he
would like to have, would develop
a real working idea, the country
would be better off than with every
necktie factory working full blast.
A man known only by his clothes
belongs in the parrot house.
Twenty-one years ago about
100000 people went once week
to the moving pictures. The price
of admission was actually five
cents. Now between seventeen
and twenty-five millions go to see
the moving pictures regularly, and
the prices run up to three dollars
a seat. Enterprises grow rapidly
in the United States when people
become really interested.
If your friend has bad cold,
be polite, smile, bow, say ~ never
saw you looking BETTER" but don't
shake hands.
That is the advice of DR.. Sund-
wall, of Michigan University.
Influenza is spread by handshak-
ing. You get the germs from your
friends hand, transfer them to
your handkerchief and then to your
nose.
Handshaking is foolish and ar
chaic, anyhow, as foolish as Indians
rubbing noses. Primitive man
stretched out his right hand to
show there was no knife in it, and
to reassure the stranger. That's
hardly necessary now.
"The single headache" or
"bo6bed hair neuralgia" has ar
rived, and was inevitable. Silly
women, not content to cut their
hair short, actually allow the bar
Der to shave the back of the neck,
uncovering that part of the body
most sensiyento cold, the little
hollow at the base of the skull.
Cut your hair that way, then
motor with your back to the
driver, and you have found the
short cut to acute neuralgia and
pneumonia.

BOBBED HAIR HEADACHES

The War Department, rubbing
its eyes and waking up little, or
ders eighty-fve flying machines,
made in the United States. For
ten machines by the Curtiss COM
pany $3.50 900 will be paid, and for
seventy-fve from the Douglas COM
pany $685., 900, about. That's a
start and, multiplied by a hundred,
it would give the country a good
beginning for an air fleet.
Fortunately Henry Ford and his
son Edsel B. Ford are in the air
craft field. They will let us know
what a flying machine ought to
cost, and something about the
theory that the "fying life" of ar
aeroplane engine is only about 100
hours. The Fords will give you
an engine that, without expensive
renewal of parts, will fly around
the world ten times. They don't
believe in an engine as snort lived
as an ice cream cone.
