An ancient painting of St. Michael, encrusted with the dirt and grime of a century or more, was recently discovered among a collection of useless and wornout property in the basement of the old Russian church at Sitka, one of the oldest religious edifices on the continent. The ancient ikon was in a fine state of preserv- ation and was presented to the newly established church of St. Michael at Cordova, where it will be added to a growing collection of vener- able church treasures.

You never know when you are going to need credit. Per haps it means little to you now-you are not contemplat- ing any venture that will re- quire a little capital. But whether you are a miner, lab orer, or office worker, the time may come when you will want to try something bigger, and to make that trial you will need to borrow money.
 |" If you have always been careful to pay up your small bills promptly you will have a reputation that will enable you to get the needed capital and put the venture through successfully. But if you have been careless, then you will find money scarce and tight no matter how prosperous the times may be.
 The editor has had the occas- ion to go through his subscript- ion accounts recently. He found there the names of many local citizens who really intend to pay their bills but who are in the habit of neg lecting small accounts. They never realize the importance of being known as good pay.
 Think this over today. List all the small bills you are owing business men around town. And go out immediately and square up.
 Then make it a practice to pay all bills as soon as they fall due, and people will be- gin to say to you, He's good

 It is we'll that our citizens give more than a passing thought to the debt they owe to the hometown merchant and that this debt be repaid by giving to them the trade of the community, a trade that is rightfully theirs, a trade well earned.

It costs so little, yet it means so much for men to be men. There is a great demand today for real men-the type who put their shoulders to the com- munity wheels and help do things.
 Any man can be a failure it takes a good man to be suU- cessful.
 There's something in your community which you can do. It's something that others per haps connot do. Go out and search for it and lend a help ing hand towards doing things you should do, and di- vorce yourself from doing things you should not.

SOMERVILLE, n. j., Nov. s.
The murder jury in the Hall-Afills
trial is being housed in the
Colonial Hotel, the smallest of
Somerville's three hostelries. Jur-
ors eat their meals in a tiny
restaurant two blocks away and
are in charge of an aged court
officer, a G. A. r. vet.

Army barracks with even less
chance of getting sleep.
Jersey justice is peculiarly per.
sontf1ed in the court room. Above
the Judges bench is a shield
with stars and 13 stripes, and to
each side is a figure representing
justice. One figure is blind-folded
and bears in its left hand a pair
Of scales, the other leans against
huge sword.
But the figures are not Sthose
OF women, as is generally the
case in the depletion Of justice.
Instead they are cherubic boys,
both in body and countenauce,
and look like the fanciful cherubs
of Michael Angelo. TIE blindfolded

eye from meath the topsy- turvey
