LOOK OUT FOR ICY ROADS

This is the time of the year when
all drivers ought to be on the look
out for slippery and icy spots on the
highways. The warning is usually
made every year about this time, but
it should be brought home with more
force than ever this year.
During the past season thousands of
people in the state have bought new
machines which run at much higher
speeds than the machines they for
merly owned. Usually it is dangerous
for anyone to push any of the newer
machines to their limit, but the dam
ger becomes much greater when there
are icy spots on the road.
Many men who have been hitting
it up at high speed without any mis-
haps during the summer are likely
to come to grief unless they slow
down and keep very wide awake in
their fall and winter driving. At.
least go slow until you have tried
out your machine and found out how
fast you can go around an icy curve
without skidding.

getting it off my chest and having
the point cleared up
Yes, as above stated, a person has
many experiences in a campaign, and
amongst them during October was
that of getting stuck with the car in
mud holes. This happened about ten
times to me while we had much rain
and bad roads, mostly On drive-ways
to the farms. And in each and every
case there were willing hands to help
me out, sometimes team being ne
cessary. Here again the farmers
showed their friendliness and neigh
borly spirit for not single one of
them would accept money for their
services. :
With all it's ups and downs and
tired out from late hours and excess
sive work | am glad that the cam
paign is over but happy to have had
the experience and am very thank
full to the people of Pine county.

IN NEMORIAM

1t is only fitting and proper that
we. at this time, should allOt small
part of each day before and after that
great and significant day of all
days when an official agreement,
an official act enacted into be-
ing by the will of millions of
people caused bloodshed to cease
and started the world once again
down the straight and narrow path
way of peace. We cannot help
but wonder at the frame of mind of
a people or of nations at the time such
bloodshed and carnage was begun,
wonder that is only replaced by the
fact that few years later an ever
lasting peace was declared. which has
recently been augmented and abetted
by treaty so designed with the pur-
pose of forever eliminating war and
national bloodshed from this earth.
1t will be a blessing to all mankind
and a fitting tribute to the boys, who
gave their lives that the world might
be saved to future generations, if war
can be permanently outlawed from the
peace can be established among the
peoples of the world, with difficulties
being settled by arbitration. Although
well we know, that as long as there
are people and nations, there will be
difficulties, but it is a cOmmendable
feat and a tribute to the known and
unknown martyr of the great struggle
for us to know and feel that their
sacrifice has not been in vain-that
it so stamped its significance on the
minds and souls of the survivors, that
such noble attempts have been made
for mankind.
Let us then on November 18th, con-
slider and re-live that great moment
when officers stood in the entrench-
ment with watches in their hands,
awaiting the minute when all the
warriors were to be lifted from the
trenches to fight no more, but to be-
come embodied and employed in the
great undertaking of rebuilding and
rehabilitating that vast eXpanSe,
which war had so destroyed and so
ravished. Let us bow our heads, even
though for a moment, in memory of
the ones who went lover the top for
the last time, who gave up their ma
terial lives only to take more ele-
waited position in the future, which
we all must some time face. Let us
show them more consideration on this
armistice day than ever before.
The American Legion and Legion
Auxiliaries all over the country will
be staging exercises and each and
every citizen should cooperate to
help them in every way they can.
When celebrating this day, each
and every one should appoint himself
a committee of one to promote peace
and prosperity, and if this is done,
then we need have no fear or worry
about the future of our country and
the younger generations that are
growing to become the future heads of
our government.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. Strauss)

10y .. w. OIL
We hear the statement made now
and then that such and such man
has "one-track mind" Whether
such characterization is intended as
criticism or compliment. the fact re-
mains that the power of concentration
is valuable possession.
Nothing worth while was ever ac-
complished without concentrated eff
fort. This rule applies with special
force in the administration of ones
personal affairs. Those who scatter
their efforts and give their time to
all sorts of activities and enterprises
are not apt to gain satisfactory re-
suits.
Observation in any community will
show that those who are succeeding
best in life are to a great extent
men of single purpose. A study of the
careers Of the successful men of this
or of any other country will bear
testimony to the same truth.
This does not mean that there is
any virtue in selfishness or in a mar
row attitude toward life. Successful
men keep themselves in a receptive
mood to changing conditions in order
that they may not get out of step with
the marching feet of progress.
But it is lack of thrift-a sheer
waste of time, effort, opportunity, and
money-not to have one outstanding
purpose or plan in life and bend ev-
cry effort accordingly. 1t is always
better to do one thing well than to
do many things poorly. 1t requires
will-power and strength of character
to stick to given purpose. 1t is the
weakling-the potential failure-who
follows ever the line of least resist

 So the instant the director says cut" at the end of a film scene, and begins to shift cameras and lights for the next, the star re- laxes by changing moods. If the scene has been of a tragic nature, he begins to exchange banter with his friends. If it has been of a comedy nature, he turns serious.
 In "The Moose, which is now playing al the Palace theatre. Barthelmess is supported by Lima Basquette, former Follies dancing star; Thelma Todd, Alice Joyce. Montagu Love and other notable players.

ger of this.
 American people imagine that there must be a similarity between the Lithuanian and Polish languages because almost all Lithuanians speak Polish. There is no similarity. The reason why the people of Lithuania speak Polish is becau their lead- CTS induced them to speak Polish and neglect their mother tongue. On the other hand. the Poles do not speak the Lithuanian language.
 "A German philologist, Schleic Ter, travelled through I.ithuania going from town to town gathering words and he compiled the first German Lithuanian grammar. He did this because he wished to preserve the language for philology because of it's antiquity and richness. He puts to shame all those Lithuanian rene gades who are prosecuting their countrymen for using the same language"

In other words. any heavy food which e. quires much blood supply to the stomach for proper digestion is bad for brain workers and any light foods, easily digestible IS good. { because 1t contains elements that especially noufish the brain more than other portions of the body, but because 1t involves less tax on the digestive system.
