The night before Christmas was Just as popular this year as heretofore. , The girls who use good Judgment In 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* log it, Is not a regular guy. 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 the Integrity of one of America's al lies in the great war Is now complete ly Justified.—Louisville Courier-Journ al. 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 est. Nothing could keep him from be coming a success In his work. He 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 in your sonL 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. We love lo help the fellow that Is trying to help somebody else, rather than the fellow, who Is always trying to baft The spirit of Christmas Is merely the spirit of servloe, and that la what we all want to attain some day, t PATTEN Mr. and Mrs. A.

It is rather peculiar ?• ?■ Denni9 - She vms accompined by her aunt, Miss mattie Lou Dennis. 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. H0NE8T BUSINE88.

' ' 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.

So much for the,rap id advance, of automobile mechanics. Not for thp world. would I attempt to describe the Lincoln as Chaqp.dld It I know I’m good, at peddling, the 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 taking our temper, i thlnjj. he was, a little worried about Faidtar. op the gas tank. Anyhow, Parker or, np Par ker, he gave us a thrill qn .curve, when he took it slightly above 65 pod stopped within a few foot beyond.

The same old void. Head down, the saddle born disappeared and there was nothing there bat the' befuUtul mountain air. Full leather? Not me, I didn’t have time. Over the top we went fa 76. “Good night, nurse,” I mumbled, end com posed myself for an introduction to 6t. Peter. I was astonished, flabbergasted and whatnot the next 20 seconds. Instead of sitting on the steps at. (be pearly gates I found myself gliding smoothly over the dirt road at not more than 15 miles. I don’t know yet how It happened. It’s brakes, or compres sion of something. Let Chase tell Ffa about It : Then the most wonderful experi ence of all came to me.- I wae in vited to drive the car. myself. I have a lot of respect for the nerve of the other 'taddjM '& the car. over into lira seat wMch Chase va cated in my boner and eased my toe on that wonderful throttle# From 4 to 10 l‘n double her length.

She would have some choice re- marks to work off. concerning, a guy who didn’t have brains enough to come home to eat. So finally I got up'courage enough to go back to my old love, Liz, patiently standing around the corner. But I am a changed man. No long er do I envy the birds wltb the six- cylinders and the noisy cut-outs. Not me. I’ve driven a Lincoln and done 80 miles without making enough noise to frighten a sparrow. And so when I bear these alxes com ing and they wbla by me at their measly 46 1 Just draw off to the side and griu. I’m driving a car made by the same man tbat makes e Lincoln and that's good enough for me.
