The hardest day" la the one alter a

The night before Christmas was Just
as popular this year as heretofore.

dressing don't use too much of the
modern style.
The fellow who can stand a lot of
flattery and pretennd that he Is enjoy*

The mystery about a lot of theso
murders is the millions they say are
behind or In front of them.
The hardened cynic, the fellow who
can't see any good In anybody, is more
to be pitied than censured.
Wanamaker’s real service was hard
work and the Intelligent development
onnd use of his brain therein.
MR. WIL80N AGAIN VINDICATED.
Woodrow Wilson Is vindicated, by
Japan's withdrawal from Shantung.
At Paris in 1919 Shantung, Includ
ing the garrison at Klaochow, that
had been seised by Germany as in
demnity for damages in the Boxer re
bellion of 1898, was awarded by the
treaty of Versailles to Japan.
The award was accompanied with
the distinct understanding and
pliclt assurance that Japan would at
the proper time retire from China and
return Shantung to the Chinese.
When Mr. Wilson became a party
to this agreement vials of wrath
were emptied upon his head. Phrases
like “the crime of Shantung" were
bandied about by the unthinking and
yawped repeatetdly in the Senate by
Lodge and his partisans. Wilson has
sold out China to Japan—that was
the cry.
To all this the President made the
simple answer that “he had faith in
Japan" and In Japan's promise that
the Mikado's government would at the
proper time restore Shantung to the
sovereignty of China.
This faith of Woodrow Wilson's In

AN INTERESTING CONTROVERSY
The husband who asks if he needs
a shave Just wants to lay the trouble
it takes at his wife's door.
The defense lays the blame tor the
riot at Herrin on non-union men, which
is what they were expected to do.
lowed. None hare more nearly ap
proached the Ideal of business hon
esty and none have profited more
than lie has by this policy] When
business grew with Wanamaker in
his great Stores in $«iw York and
Philadelphia he builded them even
larger by advertising. When people
saw his advertising they knew It
meant business and that it was hon

mode of business a profession, one
that stan4s forth clearly as a success
ful exemplar of, what all business
should be. Vfa sometimes insist
that .business can't be honest In every
phase. We know that certain misrep
resentations will creep in and instead
of condemning them we attempt to
Justify them by petty and false ex
cuses. There was none of that in
John Wannamaker. He knew what
honesty whs, as we all do, and he
lived It in his private life and in hie
business, which a lot of us do not
to the same degree and extent
Hen eggs have gon , down In price
since Clemenceau left this country and
quit eating them by the wholesale.
The tide has turned and 1921 will
be the best year we have had in the
past five.
It's good business to trade at home,
even if there isn’t any home loyalty

The pot hunters are the parasites of
the game world, and they are usually
catching fits about it.
Start the habit of saving during the
coming year. It will pay you a very
handsome dividend.
All the fat people trying to reduce,
have undone a lot of their work by
their Christmas eating.
The Christmas neckties will not be
as good next year as they were this, so
go on and wear them out
Mer Rouge is on the map, but it
isn’t an enviable position for the little
Louisiana town to assume.
Giving and serving are two certain
ways to get right at any time, but
especially aronnd Christmas.
Harry Daugherty didn’t have much
Christmas spirit with the charges in
the House hanging over him.
The whipping of convicts in Georgia
seems to be about at an end, if re
ports from Atlanta are true. Certain
well-known gentlemen in the capital
city hare taken steps to bring a point
of interest to the attention of the gov
ernor. They claim tbat under the con
stitution of this state it is not possible
to execute a sentence of whipping for
any crime. They, therefore, argue that
the punishment is not to be meted out
to those who are serving other sen
tences aa a minor measure of punish
ment tor failure to observe rales and
regulations.
The controversy la quite interesting
and it is quite probable that the con
stitution prohibition will be construed
to apply to both cases. It a man can't
be punished by whipping for any
crime, why can this be administered
for qgy offense that comes under a
category less than a crime? If the
courts are forbidden to Impose this
sentence, why can prison wardens or
guards enforce It? The question Is
pertinent and It may mean the aboli
tion of the prison commission ruling
as being contrary to the spirit and
letter of our • constitutional law. It sj
would seem to point that way, al
though legal technicalities and con
structions may find a way that will
permit its continuance.
The man with one wife takes no
gamble, but the one with one crop al
ways does and always regrets.
A bank statement Interests a lot of
fellows who don’t do anything but bor
row to keep down an overdraft.
Those who haven't paid their taxes
will find It still more of a task when
the Christmas bill begin to roll In.
Charlie Brown and his deer hunting
expedition proved a very interesting
manutactury of very readable copy.
The man that can open a window
and slip in bed before the cool draft
strikes him, has a desirable patent
This is a season of good will and
the Times-Bnterprise hopes it will last
a whole lot longer than Christmas
celebrations.
The ex-saloon keeper got mad at tha
guy who suggested a bar pin for his
wife's Christmas present, says Jack
Williams.
The easiest thing to work is old
swindles, or some new ones, it seems,
from many accounts of how they are
polled oft every day.
Fireworks at Christmas always did
seem ont of place to us, and it looks
as U It was gradually looking that way
to almost everybody.

IN A CLASS BY ITSELF
noted advertiser once said that
when he advertised he got business,
and when he didn’t advertise he didn't
get the business. It Is needless to
state that he was a constant as well
as a large advertiser and his business
continued to profit
There Is no trade stlmulent likened
to observe psychological attitude of
many men toward this game, called
advertising. When they naturally ex
pect business and know It Is coming
they are ready to advertise, to use
extra space to get their share. When
they are expecting a doll season and
business falls off, they make no speo
rial effort to get more than their share
when it could be easily done by ad
vertising judiciously.
The advertising done in newspapers
Is nnlversaliy regarded as the most
direct and the most effective. There
are thousands of merchants, deprived
of their normal share of business in
dull times because there are hustlers
in every community, who use newspa
pers freely In getting the business tbat
the merchant expects to come to him
without any effort All big merchants
are extensive advertisers and they all
get bnslness. When they see that
they are going to tall down they pile
up a big advertising account and it
always pays for Itself.

I've been busy the last couple of
days—grinhln’. ' ' 1
Funny birds, these feltowe with the
six-cylihder cars who delight In run
ning the 6tt the pavement while they
whiz past at about 45 miles, cut-out
wide, open, and making enough noise
for a machine-gun corps In full ac
tion.
For a long time they had me -bluffed,
too. Not fay longer, however. For
Jnst the other day I had an experi
ence which showed me what a real
car Is. 1 saw It, rode In it, end drove
It.
I was pecking away at my type
writer and trying to let on to the rest
of the bunch that the stuff . I was writ
ing -was the most important news of
the season. It wasn't A good bluff
has Its value. The thing about a
bluff, however, Is to know when it has
been called.
The telephone rang and out of force
of habit .Ij answered it One of the
boys at the Ford garage was on the
wire end-told me to. come down there,
"We have a Lincoln on the floor,’’ he
said, I’and, we would like to have you
look ker over.”.
Sure thing! Looking over things la
a specialty of., mine,: especially since
the Volstead, act went. Into-effect,
can look over more things and- see
foss than anybody about those parts.
So ] -went down tp the garage.
Quite a bunch of. fellows were down
there and. they were all cluttered
around a big stripped car which was
taking a bath over In the corner.. I
didn’t ask them, but I) suppose they
stripped It so It .wouldn’t] get Its
clothes wet. Maybe it was so you
could see the torque drive or the fact
that the b|g springs were put there,
for riding comfort.exclusively rnd npt
•'or any othpr purpose..
As soon ns. I showed up I, was in
troduced to If. P. Chase, whose main,
excuse for. living Jpst, qow seems to
bp to chase fjftp. cay aroui\d, thg ; map.

elastic, high-power little, engine all
on hi? own account, and tpok. the
keenest delight in running over the
fine points, of. his machine and ex
plaining them to an. audience which
understood possibly, a. sixteenth of
what he spld. So much for the,rap

Not for thp world. would I attempt
to describe the Lincoln as Chaqp.dld

stuff, but I also know when I'm, hog-
tied and laid over a barrel.
The party got to going gpod before
Jack Caldwell joined thp throng. Jack
is a little walking encyclopaedia on
mechanics.hliu?elf, and knowing this
and also knowing Jack, I took my cue
and listened In, I was good the way
Jack baited Chase and the way Chase
stole the halt without getting hooked.
Then we went for, a ride. L. H. Par
ker, E. R. Gjllett and H R. Freeman
were in the bunch, and together with
Chase and myself the party was com
plete. Freeman and Qlllett stood, on
the running-board, qne on each sltfe
of the two seats In front. Parker se
lected the gas tank at the far end.
Chase drove and my humble seif sat
alongside him and offered suggest
tlons.
After we hit the Roslyii-Cle Elqm
pavement I commenced to watch the
.speedometer. Before, we went oyer,
the crest of the Roslyn hill wo w.ei)0
purring along at qbout .50, and a few
feet beyond we were doing 65. Chase
told us afterward that be was Just

little worried about Faidtar. op the

Over the top we went fa 76. “Good

I was astonished, flabbergasted and
whatnot the next 20 seconds. Instead
of sitting on the steps at. (be pearly

over the dirt road at not more than
15 miles. I don’t know yet how It
