TAYLOR
By FRANCES COWLES.
(Copyright, 1919, by McClure Newspaper
Byndicate.)
It ts sald that the founder of the
English Taylor family was the Nor
man baron Talllefer, The lapse of
ages has brought changes in the or
thography of the name—changes that
almost make it unrecognizable; from
Talllefer it became Taylefer, finally
Taylor,
Taillefer’s family received from the
Conqueror large landed estates in the
county of Kent, England,“as his sharc
of the spoils.
Hanger Taylefer, his descendant,
held lands in the tenure of Ospringe,
in the county of Kent, in 1256, and
from him is descended the present
line of Taylors, |
A John Taylor, in the gixteenth
century, was lord of manor of Scho
doschurst. His grandson, Thomas,
was created a baron, also his son and
grandson. The latter died unmar
ried and the barony became extinct.
~ Elisha Taylor, born in 1786, was
an officer in the war of 1812, He was
intensely interested in the subject of
temperance, Total abstinence from
intoxicating liquors was then a naw}
thought. He spent ten of the best
years of his life in advocating it. For
this cause and for the spread of the
gospel he gave one-fourth of his in
come for many years, 4
The Taylor coat-of-arms gives, in
the first and fourth quarters, the
Taylor family; the second quarter is
for the De Falrsted family, and the
third is for the Freeland. It seems
that in the reign of Richard 111 &
John Taylor married Margaret,
daughter and sole heir of Humphrey
de Fuairsted, and thus acquired the
estate and arms of de Fairsted.
A Matthew Taylor, born in 1591,
married Margaret, only daughter and
heiress of Richard Freeland, and ac
quired the estates and arms of Free
land.
The first and fourth- quarters of
the Taylor arms, azure, have the up
per half sable, on which are two wild
boars’ heads. The second or De
Fairsted quarter has a chevron of
ermine, between three greyhounds
running. The third, a Freeland quar
ter, has alsb a chevron of ermine;
this is between three rowels of a
spur.
" 'he crest is a dexter arm, embossed
in armos; the hand, in a gauntlet,
grasps a Jjavelin. The motto i
“Consequitor quodeunque Jmflt"——"fle
gccomplishes what he un ertakes.”
The tradition in regard to the motto

* BAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.—T0 try
to re-enlist in Uncle Sams army and
then be told that you are dead is the
experience of James Q. O'Malley of
Plymouth, Cal
Although Col. T. E. Page, in charge
of army recruiting here, insists that
2;1_\1.1”0)'_15 alive and produces the
man and his honorable discharge to
support his contention, official Wash
ington insists that he is dead.
Despite her repeated letters inform
ing the war department that her son
is alive, Mrs. O‘Malley, his mother, is
receiving death compensation every
month from the government.
O’'Malley has been trying to re
enlist for weeks, but has been unable
to do 8o because the war department
contends that he is dead.
He learned for the fourteenth time
that he was dead when he applied to
the recruiting officer recently for re
enlistment.
In making application for reinstate
ment, O'Malley requested assignment
to San Franclisco In the motor trans
portation corps. In order to secure
special assignment, Colonel Page
wired the adjutant general at Wash
ington for this special dispensation
and he received this telegraphic
reply:
“Request In regard to James Q.
O'Malley not understood. This sol
dier deceased October 16, 1918.”
O’'Malley has an honorable dis
charge given to him at the Presidio
here in April of this year. He served
overseas with the 111th Engineers, All
his letters to the war risk insurance
department asking them to discon
tinue his death compensation to his
mother have been of no avall. Wash
ington insists that he is dead and his
mother gets her monthly check reg
ularly.

Warn Moonshiners
.
When Raid Is Near
(By Universal Service.)
LEXINGTON, Ky. Aug. 30.—The
new era of moonshining in the West
Virginia-Kentucky -Tennessee moun.l
tains, brought about by State and na
tional prohibition, presents to the rev
eriue officials vastly different prob
lems from those of a decade ago.
The new era moonshiner is a profi
teer—and he is getting $lO a quart
for his “white lightning.” The moon
ghiners are getting rich beyond their
wildest dreams.
It is unquestionably the case that
there is more moonshining in these
mountains tnan ever before, although
ralds and captures are numerous.
Iliicit distillers look at the price and
are willing to take a chance.
Where two years ago many moon
shiners did not know what a tele
phone was, now lines have been ex
tended into the mountain sections and
in many cases, so revenue officers in
centere are informed, tips concerning
raids or approaching bodies of offi
ces are telephoned ahead,
A. T. Sims, old time Huntington, ‘
W. Va, revenue man, tells of a re
cent episode, !
A telephone wire broke between the
posse and the moonshiner. A neigh
bor of the moonshiner found the
break before the officers arrived,
mended it and telephoned another
neighbor to warn the moonshiner
“Have your
eyes examined”
Y(\fl AR® as efficient as your
eyes and the only way to know
that your eyes are really efficient 1s
to have them examined.

From the Very First Miller Tires
Have Been Backed by an Unlimited Guarantee
Miller gave to the world uniform long distance
mileage when the first Geared-to-the-Road Tire
was built. It was then that limited mileage fig
ures no longer counted. Because even those first
Miller tires marked a new era in mileage stand
ards. Never have we altered that mileage: Every
tire is built to outrun all makers’ guarantees.
Each is made up to a standard and not down to
a mileage guarantee. And having set that pace,
Miller Geared-to-the-Road tires have kept it.
Therefore if ever a Miller
Tire shows an imperfection
either in workmanship or
materials regardless of the
mileage run, a fair and lib
eral adjustment will be
made.
The constitution of the Miller Rubber Co., al
ways has provided for maximum mileage into
Miller tires, and for giving every purchaser of any
of its manufactured rubber products the greatest
return for his money. QOur entire organization
of many thousands of skilled workers is pledged
to give you the best of their ability in connection
with the finest materials properly handled we
can furnish them.
