Most Extravagant Machine.
William Ashdown, in Atlantic Monthly


Debt, debt debt for a costly article that
depreciates rapidly, and has an Unsuitable ap-
petite for money. To be sure, the money goes
out in small lots, but the toll is large if it
be reckoned for year, and this the average
man has not the courage to face; or facing
it, he has not the courage to quit. He must
keep his car.
The avalanche of automobile owners is not
a good omen. 1t signifies that the people are
living either up to their means or beyond
them; that the old margin of safety no long
er obtains; that the expense account must
constantly increase. The race to outdo the
other fellow is a mad race The ease with
which car can be purchased on the time
payment plan is all too easy a road to rum.
The habit of thrift can never be acquired
through so wasteful a medium as an automo-
bile Instead the habit OF spending must be
acquired, for with the constant demand tor
fuel, oil and repairs, together with the heavy
depreciation, the automobile stands unique as
the most extravagant piece of machinery ever
devised for the pleasure of man.

A Flirtatious Ghost.

The copy reader who wrote the headline
that a kissing ghost popular with splr-
itualsts in a Paris seance sensed exactly the
news value of that story. For the dispatch
goes on to recite that the kissing ghost is
that of a 19-year-old French girl named
Madeline, damsel once coy and fiirtatious
and whom death has not robbed of her
charms. That is putting it in a somewhat
different light this spiritualism business. Re
cruits may be expected in large numbers.
Naturally, the success of this new idea in
spirit propaganda will have to depend upon
the point of view OF prospective candidates
for seances. The point Of view is always in
1uenced by ones environment, and there is
strong likelihood that the spirit kiss will not
make great headway with living persons, es-
pecially if they have been accustomed to os-
culatory experiences of more substance. There
is bound to be difference, one that could
not escape the observation OF those persons
whose lives have not exactly been devoid of
mistletoe effects and arbor influences, to say
nothing of ideal parking places in quiet lanes.
IT, of course, one has missed these things in
the flesh one may not Be able to realize the
difference between substance and shadow, in
which case a ghostly Irritation might be ac-
ceptable. The wise ones, however, of what
ever age and sex, can be depended upon to
beg that they be excused.
What the spiritualists will do next is not
even hinted But the certainty that they are
striving to bring substance and shadow clos
er together, to establish more intimate kin
ship of the material world and that of spirit
land and to strive for one single objective
is seen Indeed, the spiritualists have been
looking around and have seen what was to-
ward Sheik and Sheba spirits! How charm
ing they would be-if they were!

WHERE GOLD IS FROM.

From the Lincoln Journal.
Recent figures show that Canada now
stands third in gold production First come
the >Transvaal with output Of $l98,O0O,OOO

made by those famous mines. The command
ing position of south Africa in the industry
will not be challenged for long time, for
if produces more than one-half Of the world s
supply. The United Statse, although second
on the list, makes a poor showing with a
total of $51,900,000 This is only about one
half of the yearly output ten years ago. Can
ada's total in 1924 was $31, 100000, OF which
SIS 900 was produced in Ontario.

Some Good Advice.
From the Adet News.

Now is the time to begin thinking about
destroying cotton stalks; and it will not do to
think too long but just as soon as the cotton
is out either plow under or burn the stalks.
Early destroying of the stalks will go long
ways toward eliminating the boil weevil The
price of cotton is good enough for every
farmer to try few acres and to give it the
best sort of attention. OF course, every year
it will not do as we'll as this one because
this has been an unusually favorable cotton
year. But it is a good idea to plant some
of it every year, and if the stalks are destroyed
early it will be great help toward making
another crop. In this way many weevils will
be destroyed.

The railroad valuation, started in 1918 by
the Interstate Commerce Commission, is ex-
pected to be finished by 1928 making total
of fifteen years required for this gigantic task
The length of time required, however, proba-

some members of congress who feel that with

real value of railroad property than the com

Taxes have been climbing because we have
added law on law, bureau after bureau SER
vice on service and foundered along, step by

ably we will retrench as stupidity as we in
creased our taxes during the last few years.

offer such a challenge to men and women of
