Dalilonega telephone rates are made low with tho understanding shat the phones in residences are for the use only of the people liv ing therein, and others using them are simply (leadbeating the com pany for service which belongs to those who pay. It is just as dis honest as covering chilclen from tiro railroad conductor to save your fare. If you have to save tho price of a telephone be honest •enough to carry your messages ro mail them at 1 cent each. Howev er you will have to pay for the {Stamp. If you are a pauper and Svilt show that you need a phone 'i'n your business tve will contrib- 'nte one to save our regular su -- subscribers being bothered, lior- ’rowiilg phone service is some what similar to a borrowed news paper. Both after being loaned may need laundrving. But it can’t be done. Pay for youi talk of walk. Daiilonoa Telethonk Company. Candidate Walker. To the Voters i Owing to trouble and bereave ment that have come to me and which has deprived me of the priv ilege of seeing all my friends, I am trying to explain through the Nugget, why I have not been to see some of you. Had to take my daughter to Atlanta and send her on to Tennessee to my sons whose wife had died and was being brought home, and wo buried her at Yahojla last Friday. .1. W. Walk.hu, Candidate for Tax Collector. Candidate Satterfield. To the Voters: Having been informed that it is reported there is a trade up be tween myself and Mr. J. M. Davis and that on-e of us will comedown on the eve of the election. I wish to state that it is not true. We have not spoke to each other about such a thing, and I am in the race for sheriff to the finish. Ci.eve Satterfield. Time to Be Cautious Tbe commonly accepted explanation of the saying, "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts,” Is to be cautious in trusting persons who Introduce their proposals pr requests with gifts. The origin of the shying Is a matter of dis pute, but it is traced by some authori ties to Virgil’s statement, Aeneld, II •ft). “I fear the Greeks, even when lhey bring gifts.” Presumably lids referred to die wooden horse strat agem at the siege of Troy. Long And Short of It The late Mrs. Mary Emery of Cin elnnati, tVliose $5,000,000 art gallery was bequeathed to t he Cincinnati Art museum, was n generous patron of painters, poets, sculptors und mu sicians. Once, at a Cincinnati tea, a clergy man praised Mrs. Emery for the pen sion she line] bestowed on an aged novelist. “Oli, well," she snid in answer, “art Is lohg, hut artists are always short.” Canberra Everything is new in Canberra, the great white city, which is how taking shape as the capital of Australia. All buildings are to be white, relieved hy variegated tiled roofing. Motor, horse and foot traffic have separate ways; Hie city streets are lined with bios- coining trees and gardens; and the whole is set in a landscape circled by lofty mountains. w, HY iMs vafi (ST -yy V) S© MANY a SMOKERS HAVE CHANGED TO CHESTERE1ELD We STATE it as our honest belief that the tobaccos used in Chesterfield cigarettes are of finer quality aud hence of better taste than in any other cigarette at the price.

"I was so run-down and ‘no account' that I did not feel like working, or do ing anything at all,” nays Miss Flossie Evans, Route No. 1, Liberal, Mo. "My nerves wero all unstrung. I was very easily upset. "After I had taken Car- dui for only a short while, I began to feel stronger and my appetite Improved and tho headaches disap peared. "I was delighted with the Improvement which wa3 so noticeable every body spoko of it. I looked and felt like a different girl. Now I am perfectly well and glad to recom mend Cardul."

CARDUI In Use 45 Years Life in Middle Ages Miserable for Most The average expectation of life- today 58—was probably between 25 and 80 in the Middle ages. We have no idea today what a vast luxury tlion was a bit of food, lire and drink, shel ter and a bed, even such poor tilings as they were. The pathetic masses of humans were so indescribably miser able that we have almost no perspec tive on them today. Picture them, liv ing in low thatched huts without veil- j tilation, the earth for a floor. When | tills floor got too filthy a new layer of rushes was laid down on the top of the old filth, until tlie layers of twenty years festered there, alive with ver min, foul with refuse. Those who could afford it wore leather clothes; the lower masses wrapped themselves with straw. For food they ate peas, black bread, fern roots and the bark of trees. Only one-half of them ever tnst&l fresh meat, and the other half ate meat only once a week. A hole in the roof drained off some of the smoko. The house servants—miser able creatures, earning 30 shillings n year and shoes—went about nearly naked, such garments as they had be ing utterly filthy, and slept on the vile rush floor nt night. Men were old nt forty and women even earlier.—J. George Frederick, in the New Age Illustrated. Pride in His Job The workman is putting something of Ids personality into every job on which lie works. He does this uncon sciously, whether he wills it or not. The individuality of the draftsman is seen in the blueprint, even before one recognizes his signature. The person ality of the machinist is seen in the file marks and the chisel prints. Ev ery worker in wood, iron or stone or leather or doth puts something of himself into ills task. You may have rules regarding spaces and margins, but tiie personality of tho stenogra pher is seen in the typewritten sheet. All of which should induce every worker to take pride In Ids particular craft or job, whatever it may be. And tho way in which a man works—what ever may be the tool marks of his pro fession—will also reveal ills spiritual qualities.—Charles Stelzie in Forbes Magazine. Y/HY= Sacrifice Ever Part of World's Progress Progress is the result of experiment and sacrifice, aud all submarine and air disasters are courageous efforts to overcome the obstacles which hinder scientifiq development, explains an ed- torlal in Liberty. “If a disaster is big enough it anes thetizes the mind, ’ continues the edi torial. “We understand one death bet ter than six, or six hundred. So, when a dirigible falls, a transatlantic flyer is lost, or a submarine is wrecked, there comes t he protest that all this must be stopped. "We venture nnother point of view. When these pioneers are killed, much as we regret their death, we are proud that sucli men have lived. Without their courage progress would stop, for j progress Is nearly always dangerous. “The voice of the defeatists," con- j eludes the editorial, “should not be the governing voice. 'There were defeat ists in Paris at the turning point of, the war. There were defeatists in Co lumbus’ crews, and in Magellan s. j They nil wanted to turn hack. What if they had had (heir way?” Selfish Wife Miss Ellen Glasgow, noted novelist, had come from her Virginia home to sail for Europe, and at the Cosmopoli tan clnh in New York she talked about divorce. “Selfishness is the cause of di vorce,” she said. “A beautiful Rich mond girl married a young cotton broker—they’re divorced now—and one day the poor fellow had to suy | to her: “ ‘Do you know that your dress makers’ bills aud beauty parlor bills eat up three-quarters of my income?’ “ ‘My goodness me 1’ she answered. ‘What do you do with all the rest of your money?’ ” Grsat Personages Fear to Face “Mike” Celebrities may he very “ritzy” In public, but they soon take off their high iiats wiicn they have to speak before the microphone, says Quin Ryan, radio announcer at tho Chicago station, WGN. “'There are three spots in Iliis universe where all men are equal,” Ryan maintains, “—on the roller coaster, in the dentist’s chair, and in the radio studio. All my young life,’’ lie says, “1 have been ritzed hy celt brilioa, ritzed hy expert.?. But now the worm lias 1 timed. The worm lias turned radio announcer, and when I git them in Hie radio studio 1 have them scared to death. Every famous personage quakes a hit before the mi crophone. “When I was a newspaper reporter, interviewing persons of note,” the writer explains, “I was always col liding with a lifted eyebrow. Hut lor tho past few years, a? a part of my radio job, it lias been one of my chores to meet, interview, and introduce the famous of (he land. And the conclu sion 1 have drawn from these inti mate contacts is that celebrities are not so bad ns they are celebrated, and that tiie great are gracious and ami able. People I’ve read about, people I’ve put on pedestals—all come into the studio one by one, confessing their trepidation before tiie broadcasting ordeal, and proving themselves as ‘folksy’ ns an Edgar Guest poem.”— Liberty Magazine. Better Yet Two hoys were discussing sport. “Ilow high can you jump?” asked one. “About four feet,” replied tiie other. “What can you do?" “Five feet,” came Hie prompt reply. 5 "How about tiie long jump?” "Ten feet. What can you do?” “Eleven feet. What’s your time for the hundred?” But tiie other lad was a bit sus- j plcious hy now, so lie replied: “Four seconds better Ilian yours." “Bizttor.koler Coming” Mother had told Marjorie, age four, tluit when grandmother came stie would sew some buttons on tier dress und work some buttonholes. A few days Inter when she was In foiHied that her grandmother would arrive that day she said. “(Hi, goodie. I my button and huttoniiolcr Is coming.' [ Why Precious Metals Are Hoarded in India The Hindu family ordinarily bolds all real property and household goods in common. The individual wishing to save for ids own use can segregate his savings only in tbe form of gold and silver. Millions of the native pop ulation, too, have no access to the banks. In time of stress they must draw or* accumulated reserves or re sort to tiie money lender—at 75 per cent interest. "Consequently,” a traveler writes, “there is a strong tendency in times of prosperity to purchase small quan tities of silver and gold In the form of coin?, bullion, or ornaments us a reserve against want. “Millions of people, particularly in south India and erst India, never have a sufficient margin to do even this, us they have no savings what ever ; this is evidenced hy tiie neces sity for famine relief measures In WANTED. | Ambitious, industrious white per son to introduce and supply tiio de mand for llawlnigh Household Pro ducts.

A 2863, Memphis, Tenn. Why the Term “Loafer” Why say “loafer” of a shiftless man? Here’s the story from which this cus tom is said to have sprung: A shift- loss young man fell in love with the daughter of an old Dutchman in New York. The father disapproved of the youth When he saw tbe lazy fellow coming he was wont to remark to his daughter: “Here conics that ‘lofer’ (lover) of yours, tiie idle good-for- nothing." The word “lofer,” finally spelled with a “a,” came to he applied to any shiftless person.—Grit Why the Name “Solons” The name Solon was borne b.y an Athenian, who was noted for his learn ing and wisdom in counsel. He was also known as the law giver of Ath ens and to him was intrusted the task of revising tiie Athenian constitution. 'Tills accounts for tiie name being ap plied to the members of the United States congress. Why They Are “Weeds” Widows’ “weeds” are derived from a Saxon word, “waede”—a woven gar- - meat, l.ater the term was contined to t bo distinctive dress of a widow, and then narrowed to tiie long crepe streamers from the bonnet. ij§L) • & How Greenland Got Name Greenland was numed by the old Scandinavian navigator Eric the Red. He gave tbe place an attractive name v because lie wanted to Induce colonists from Norway to settle in the new country. How Borax Is Formed Boras is an inorganic salt and Is native where found. It is a crystalline compound and tbo borax of commerce is secured by reflning the crude borax. Why “Cool as Cucumber” The cucumber usually lias a tem perature a degree lower than that of the surrounding ntmosphere. Hence the expression, “Cool as a cucumber.” Why Death at High Altitude Scientists say that life, even with tbe uhl of oxygen, would be Impos sible above 45,(XX) feet because of the low atmospheric pressure. New Furs Introduced So great is the demand for furs that dog and catskins are finding ready sale at good prices in the big fur mar kets. Even goatskins are used, being sheared und stenciled into imitation leopard. Gray ratskius, it has been found, make excellent “baby seal" furs. Rabbit skins are made over into at least 28 different kinds of fur with high-sounding names.
