claims to be the only soldier who was

sixteen, and was stationed at Alder

Long Silence Ended

Tilted 80 years ago, James Mason of
Great Garfield, England, made a vow
to isolate himself for the rest of his
life in such way that he would new.
er look upon the face of a woman
again and never see or speak to any
man except his brother, Thomas. The
brother, who is now sixty eight, two
years younger than James, vowed that
he would devote his life to the hermit
and guard him from intrusions. On
two occasions recently Thomas relaxed
his vow in order to permit James to
be seen by pension officer and a
clergyman he sent for when James
suffered a stroke.

SPEED LIMIT Is MILES PER HOUR?

short while ago the corporation erected a
signboard just few feet beyond the Cumber-
land Motor Companys garage bearing the fol-
owing inscription: Speed Limit Is Miles Per
Hour. And now some one has taken it upon him
self to change it so that it reads Is miles per
hour, causing ninety per cent of automo-
bile drivers, who appreciate the poor wit of the
signboard artist, to actually try to make the
speed that the signboard allows as the
limit.
From sweet little angel drivers to the most
hard boiled of roughnecks, they whizz along the
Streets of our fair city. A blurred streak, a
thundero and that is all we see or hear
leaving us wondering what has just passed, a
Ford, Cadillac or just common every -day,
title cid aeroplane. Then again we hear groan,
a rattle of dry and bleached bones and looking
up the street we can see one of those deapidat-
ed old of nondescrpt make feeling it's
torturous way along the highway while the
driver with beads of perspiraton rolling down
his cheeks, presses the accellerator clean thru
the foor-board in vain attempt to bring his
tagging speedometer up to the figures which
the signboard says is the limt-and indiffer-
ence allows.
The habit of speeding in the streets of Clint
wood is getting too popular Why doesn't SOME
ONE try to stop it before it ends in tragedy?

They a great nuisance on more counts

duration. The plague does not last long. The
locusts live only two three weeks.
Is it true that locusts are with us every

bers? Are the locusts visits actually spaced
seventeen years apart? Some Gay a great ma
