Supershine Products
In Steady Demand
The Distribution of Supe-r-shine
Products Is Growing Steadily.

In the van of products that are
carrying the name of Butte to all
parts of the country are the Furni-
ture Polish, Auto Polish, Auto Body
Cleaner, High Lustre Finish, Glass
Cleaner and Sprayer, Silver polish
and Magic Powder, a new product
for removing bug juice and grass
hopper stains, manufactured by E.
w Softley. With business grow
ing strictly on the merits of the pro-
ducts, as they become known in ac-
tual service, and are recommended
by enthusiastic users, there are
large number of merchants in Butte
alone handling them, while orders
are coming from distance, ship
ments having been made recently to
Washington Idaho, Wisconsin. Ill
inois and Pennsylvania.
The cleaner and polish are espec-
tally favored for automobiles, mar
velous results in the restoration of
lustre being regularly attained. But
the housewives knowing the merit
of the Furniture Polish consistently
raid the dealers to use the liquid on
furniture and woodwork as it is alb
solutely greaseless.
Mr.. Softley's first connection in
Butte was with the Hennessy Com
pany, beginning Sept. l, 1902, where
he remained for 18 years, making
reputation as a window dresser,
his displays attracting attention fire.
quently in national apparel maga-
zines.
In 1920 he became one of the part
ners in Murphy -Softely's, which took
over the shop known as Green's
Women's Apparel Shop, retiring
from Murphy-Softley's in 1924 to
put his polish invention on the mar
ket.
For quite some time past people
have realized the real value of local
industries and the great advantage
of using as many products as posi-
BILE that are made at home. It is al
ways best to buy local products, es-
pecially Softley's Supershine pro-
ducts as it is strictly Butte pro-
duct and at present is being produc-
ed in Butte at 49 West Granite st.
Everything pertaining to the manu-
facture of the products are purchas-
ed from dealers in Butte such as
bottles, liquids, powders, labels,
boxes, ETC., and deserve the patron
age of every housewife and auto
mobile owner. The products are
superior and offered at prices that
are just as reasonable. People should
always ask for and demand Softley's
Supershine.
This firm is one of the valuable
commercial assets of the community,
for it brings thousands of dollars
which would go to some other trade
center were this progressive, COM
plete and up-to-date concern not
serving the people in such a salts
factory manner. There's is nothing
that adds more greatly to the pro-
gress and prosperity Of the COM
munity than progressive business
men, who appreciate the necessity
of keeping up with the times in the
manner of operating their business.

APPEAL TO THOSE FAILING TO
MAKE CHRISTMAS SEAL
RETURNS

"It is hoped that those persons who
received Christmas Seals at the OPEN
ing of the sale last November and
who have not yet made their returns
for them will do SO now. It is not
too late to contribute to the work Of
eradicating tuberculosis in Maryland.
If everyone would try to send in
their returns as soon as possible the
records of the association could be
completed and follow up reminder
would not be necessary" said Mrs.
|. D. Davis, Seal Sale Chairman for
Cecil County.
The great reduction In the tuber-
culosis death rate for Maryland since
the founding of the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association is very gratifying.
When the association was incorporat-
ed in 1907 the tuberculosis death
rate for this state was 204.1 per 1907
900 population. This rate is almost
three times greater than the present
rate which is 1914 per 100000. All
this has been done within the time
of the Christmas Seal.
The national death rate from this
disease has been correspondingly
lowered each year with the exception
of 1917 when the nation was upset
by participation in the World War.
The death rate for the country is
now 56.6 per 100000 population.
Statistics from several leading coun-
tries show that the death rate for the
United States stands favorably
among these world powers.

Editorial

One of the most important adj
vances made in teaching methods Is
the encouragement given to pupils to
do more reading. 1t used to be that
the pupil was only supposed to do a
little reading out of his text book;
but, the progressive schools of today
demand wide range of reading ac-
tivity. The solutions of most class
room problems require the use of
various books as sources of informa-
don. The progress Of any student
depends on his ability.to read rapidly
and intelligently.
In this modern world of today
person certainly needs to know how
20 read well. Reading is the bes:
way to use ones leisure time. 1t
provides entertainment as well as an
increase in your knowledge.
All of the teachers are doing their
hes. to encourage the pupils to do
more remedial reading.

Volley Ball
Dillinger.

When fall athletics were over and
when the weather became so bad that
it was impossible for any games to
be palyed outside, the noon hours be-
came a problem for the teachers and
he Student Council. Students were
restless with nothing to do. They
wanted to wander about the halls
and do anything to amuse them
selves.
Someone suggested that the stu
tents be allowed to play volley ball
at noon in the auditorium of the
building under the supervision of a
teacher. The plan was adopted.
There was schedule of games post
ed last Monday including both boys
and girls teams. Mrs. Woodward
was to referee the games.
The games proved 20 be a great
sport. Everyone takes great interest
n them whether playing or cheering.
So far all the boys teams have won
over the girls teams.
These volley ball games will serve
a .wo-fold purpose. It will, provide
activity for the noon hour and help
in developing girls volley ball team
for the spring athletic season. Lets
hope it make a championship team.

Study OF Travel In The Junior Glass

oJuuy VI travel IN Inc JuHlOr OlaSb
The Junior Glass has just finished
the study of travel in General Bust
ness Training. A good many people
do not realize of what use the study
of travel is to them, but we just wish
any of you could have listened in on
our discussion of it and I'm sure
everyone of you would have said 1t
was just about the most interesting
and yet necessary subject anyone
could take. In this study we went
INTO all the details about all the diff
lerent means of travel which were:
Train, bus, airplane, ocean liners and
last but not least the automobile.
Zach person, to make it more inter-
ssting, wrote for information on one
Or more of the above topics. The
information which we found out
about was:> accommodations for
sleeping, eating, recreation facilities
and the minimum amount of each.
in an official railway guide we routed
trips from Perryville and Baltimore
to all parts Of the United States.
We also planned trips as though we
were taking them; how we would
go about getting tickets, passports;
now to check our baggage and how
Co take care Of large amounts of
money If it was to be long "trip.
My only regret is that everyone
couldn't have the advantage Of learn
ing these facts which are needed at
one time or another in everyone's
life.
