THE NEWCOMER’S IMPRESSION
Many visitors to a town get their
first impression from the appear-
ance of the buildings. If. these
structures are not attractive, the vi-
sitor may get a conception
which is difficult to remove.
It is a fine thing when the
ers of property realize that they are
in a sense and that the
conditions existing on their proper-
ty are subjected to the close scrut-
iny of a great many people. If they
can brighten up and improve their
property in cases where it needs at-
tention, they will not merely make
it more valuable, but they will ac-
complish a stroke for the reputation
of their home community. Their
townspeople will appreciate what-
ever they do to make the town’s
front door look like the entrance to
a homey and a wide awake advanc-
wrong
own-
“on parade,”
ing community.

WHAT WE NEED HERE
Lancaster School Board has de-|
cided to build an
the rear of the Junior High School
there. It will comprise a base ball
diamond, foot ball gridiron, tennis
court and play ground, will accom-
modate 4000 persons and will cost
about $25,000.
An athletic field is a
asset to any public school. Devel-
oping the young body at the same
time that the young mind is matur-
ing, is bound to make a better,
stronger and healthier man and wo-
man.
We do hope that when our School
Board is making plans for the erec-
tion of that new High School build-
ing, they also give the athletic
field serious consideration for the
benefit of our boys and girls.

REASONS FOR NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING
Newspaper reading is a universal
habit, therefore newspaper adver-
tising virtually reaches each week a
great majority of those who buy.
Newspaper advertising is the life-
blood of local trade, because it
touches all consumer sources in ev-
ery community. It gives the na-
tional advertiser the same opportun-
ity for complete consumer appeal
in any locality.
Newspaper advertising enables
quick, thoro and economical deal-
er distribution and dealer good will,
because retailers are willing to sell
products advertised direct to their
own customers.
Newspaper adverticing enables
manufacturers to tell where their
products may be bought.
Newspaper advertising can be
started or stopped overnight, can be
prepared between days to meet sud-
den developments and to obtain im-
mediate results.
Newspaper advertising enables
manufacturers to check advertising
results and costs in every market
which they enter. Newspaper ad-
vertising costs less than any other
kind. Try it.
YOU MIGHT MEET A FOOL
On a road at the foot of the Rock-
ies is a sign that reads; “Danger
Sharp Curve--You Might Meet A
Fool.” Such a sign is calculated
to make a driver sit up and take
notice. The latter sees at almost
every sharp turn a notice to proceed
with caution, or to blow his horn,
and comes to be little impressed by
them. He has confidence in his abil-
ity to avoid running into another
car. But if there is a fool in the
other car the efforts of the most
skillful driver to escape may be fu-
tile.
There would be far fewer auto-
mobile mishaps if every driver
would bear constantly in mind the
possibility that there may be a fool
ahead, not only on sharp curves, but

few more crops were sold at prices
ranging from 15 to 20 cents. We

the grower but here’s about how
| the situation sizes up at present.
| About eighty cent of the
packers still have last year's crop in
their warehouses. Their interest on
their investment is increasing daily

and that tobacco is shrinking in
weight. They have mighty poor
chances of selling the tobacco at
what it cost them, say nothing of
the expense incurred in handling it
to date. This being the case, and
with some of the packers and even
of our local having
their crops of two years ago unsold,
how on earth will there be a demand
some growers
for this year’s crop, which is far
from a real good one.
Unless conditions change, the
best crops will be sold at only a fair
price while the balance of the crop
will go begging.
In our estimation there is but one
way to these
We would advise the farmer to raise
less and better tobacco, which, ere,

Women Who Give Rest
Always Sought After
half a dozen women
friends a few duys ago, guests at a
little dinner party were surprised to
discover the popularity of a woman
whom none had believed to have an
original personality,
Pleasant, kind, llvely, Interesting
she undoubtedly is, but it was a man
who explained the attraction which
makes her companionship desired by
all her friends.
“She gives rest,” he sald. “And
rest is the greatest gift a woman has
to give, No one in Helen's presence
can long be conscious of life's enor
mous disarrays; she heals, Her very
presence is harmonious, she gives a
sense of serenity to the restless. That
Is why everyone loves her."
Very few women are able to bestow
Discussing
the gift of peace on those whom they |
meet in daily life, says the London
Mail.
No woman whose mind Is restless,
who has not accepted with gracious-
ness the reconciliations between the
ideal and the real, has power to give
rest.
For this power does not come from
anything as superficial as the pose of
languid ease, nor does It belong to the
quiet woman who so often is also the
dull woman.
Only the woman whose mind has
found rest through discipline, through
courage, through strength, can heal
the wounds of the disturbed soul.
Women who have this power give to
their friends the assurance of security.
Very many women who delight today |
displease tomorrow. One is unable
fo depend on their stability. But the
woman who gives rest does not change
her attitude or her convictions or her
moral standards; she is no romanti-
cist, but because she is in tune with
life and her own setting she creates
harmony around her.
Habits of Migration
Forced on Bird Life
Ages ago the United States and
Canada swarmed with nonmigrating
bird life, long before the arctic ice
fields, advancing south during the
glacial era, rendered uninhabitable
the northern half of the continent.
As the ice approached very gradual-
and then enforced
and absences—at first only
iy, now receding,
retreats
a short distance and a brief time—in- |
ereased both in distance and duration
until migration became an integral
part of the being of the bird.
As the ice advanced southward the
swing to the north in spring migra
tion was continually shortened and
the fall retreat to a suitable winter
home lengthened in proportion until
the glacial period birds were, for |
most part, confined to middle South
America.
But the habit of migration had been
formed, and when the ice receded to
ward its present position the birds fol
{owed it northward and in time estab-
'Ished their present diversified migra-
tion

old millionaire,
Many, many times he

had asked her
end he despairingly realized that she
ould never be his. Almost angrily
fie upbraided her:
“Even Cupid,” he said, “could do
nothing with you. You're like an ice
berg. Why, a hundred Cupids might
shoot you all day long, but not one ar
row would make any impression on
vour stone-cold heart.”
Shie thought for a moment, then:
“Not If they used an old beau,” she
! replied cuttingly.
Wasps and Yellow Jackets
“Wasp” is the general name of a
large class of Insects. There are many
species, both of social and solitary
wasps. “Yellow jacket” is merely the
name given to several species of
American social wasps which belong
to the genus “Vespa.” The color of
the body of the yellow jacket is partly
bright vellow and the insects are
noted for their irritability and pain-
ful stings. Yellow jackets are also
called hornets. Some species live In
the ground while others make paper
nests suspended from a tree or bush.

Singer’s Many Charms
Charlotte Henrietta Haser was a
celebrated singer born at Leipzig in
1780, the daughter of the director of
music in the university there. In
1804 she was engaged by the Italian
opera at Dresden. Her superior voice.
her fine execution and her attempt to
combine the advantages of the German
and the Italian methods, gave her a
brilliant success. Distinguished for
the correctness of her morals and her
great modesty, she was received with
applause at all the most celebrated
theaters in lialy and Germany.—Chi-
cago Journal.

It was queer reasoning that induced
Mr. Flower to change his name. He
was a Portuguese—so Felix Weiss, im-

enough.

Dromedary and Camel
Dromedary is a name sometimes
given to the Arabian er one-humped
camel, but properly belonging to a
variety of that species distinguished
by slenderness of limbs and symmetry
of form and by extraordinary fleet-
ness, “bearing much the same . rela-
tion to the ordinary camel as a race
horse or hunter does to a cart horse.”
