In our issue of Sept. 4th we
made appeal to 775 of our sub-
scribers who were in arrears at
that time.
Since then 48 have respond-
ed, and to them we make grate-
ful acknowledgment of their
promptness in coming to relief of
the financial strain we are under.
We are still hoping that the
remaining 691 are not going to
fail us.
By the way: If you have
any printing jobs. Anything,
large or small in the line of com-
mercial printing, we would like
to do it for you.
There is always one cer-
tainty about job printing done at
this office. It is well done, and
at prices no higher than are
often paid for work that is not
so good.

EX-CONVICT _KILLS
HIMSELF FOR LOVE
Attempt to Regain Lost Happi-
ness Is Failure.
Pittsburgh, Pa.—The last chapter
in an ex-convict's attempt to regain
the happiness he once had known was
written with the man's suicide in the
home of the woman he had loved In
vain,
Nathan Corna,
forty-five, Pitte-
home of Mrs. Dora Ritt, a widow.
For six weeks Corna had sought to
win the love of Mrs, Ritt, she sald.
Corna told her of his prison sep
tence, Mrs. Ritt said.
“If I had loved him, I could have
forgotten and forgiven—but without
love, it was hopeless,” she sald.
As Corna finished his story and
was about to leave, he slashed his
throat, Mrs. Ritt said.
“Corna told me he had gone to De
troit from Pittsburgh when a young
man and met a former Pittsburgh girl
she added.
with her.
“He said he fell In love
dead and Corna was accused of the
innocent.”

Name Traced to Blunder
The designation of a particular va-
riety of worsted fabrics as “tweeds”
is commonly, but erroneously, associ-
ated with the Scottish river of that
name. The origin of the word “tweed,”
however, has no reference to the River
Tweed, but is said to be due to an
error on the part of a London clerk,
who, in the year 1826, when writing
out an invoice for these goods, inad-
vertently wrote the word “tweeds” in-
stead of “tweels,” the Scottish for
twills. Orders were placed for more

A half-century ago almost every man
carried a good pocket knife and when

his knife from his pocket and began
whittling. At that time many men
carried In their pocket a stick or
block of wood known as a whittling
stick. It was some soft wood, soft
timber for whittling. The early set-
