About 200 bushels of fine oats 1 The fire was of incendiary origin. Capt. Walker offered a reward of $250.00 and the city $100.00 for the apprehension of the guilty parties.

FRANKCRANESAYS According to acepted traditions, work was a curse pronounced upon by the deity when man was ex pelled from the Garden of Eden. If this is true, then it is true that the curse of God is better than the blessing of man. For there can hardly be any doubt that working for one’s bread and butter and shelter is about the best thing that ever happened to Suppose all the teeming millions in New York were idle, that they had nothing to do but amuse themselves, it would not be a week before the city was burned down. It is the fact that most of us have to put in a cer tain number of hours a day in eai ing our livelihood that keeps us sai The sanest thing on earth is work. Men who devote their time to imagin ing, to theology, to philosophy, other speculations are fertile soil to all kinds of disorder. It is men who have to work that are the flywheel of every nation. As a rule they want things to remain as they And as a rule they are the bulwark of morality. Crime news and di vorce court scandals originate large ly in the idle class. Chesterton has said that when a man puts in ten hours a day at street car driving he is not likely to be tangled up with the wife of some one else. .He hasn’t time even for his own wife. The workers are the security of country and the best guarantee of that country’s prosperity. The greatest menace of militarism is that a large body of men are kept in comparative idleness. If the mil lions under arms in Europe could be disband?d and go to work it would be the bset insurance of peace. How many a divorce trouble would be avoided if both man and woman were economically independent. It was not a bnd idea of the Jews of old to instruct their children in some useful trade. The best life insurance policy that a man c his family is to have them all so train- way the world, It is doubted that the man with the hoe, the laborer, should be the ob ject of sc much sentimental pity. For after all the man who knows how use his hoe has a greater prospect of happiness in this world than the that is left on endowment of a mil lion dollars. WILL ROGERS SAYS— k’ou can’t hardly get a man to do anything for you these days in politics without offering him a Cabi net position. I been giving a migh ty lot of thought to my Cabinet and I find that every rich man now pic tures himself .as another Mellon. The rich man used to think that he would be slumming if he‘mixed himself up with any of those Pumpkin Seed jobs, like a Cabinet officer, but Mel lon stepped out and got so n publicity that all the rest began to think, "How long has this been going on?” I have made a lot of promises, but they were only political promises, and I have no idea of keeping any of them. I can promise the best Cabi- net of any of them. Henry Ford would be my secretary of the Treas ury, he would make us forget that illuminum pays as well as shines, as for General Motors Raskob and that gang, we would cut profit to $300.00 a car and put them right out of businCMi Say Ford could take our little dab of ey, that our Treasury has, and let him handle it a little while and he would have ue out of the Red by Xmas. And as for* my Secretary of State, what’s the matter with using Coolidge? He knows everything that Secretary of State does and 1 be lieve if a man could get him he’d be worth the money. So with Calvin and Henry in there I g r t the neuclus of a pretty snorty cabinet. You see I am in a position to get the best U’ent available. I have no Campaign Manager to take care of. And there are no “presi dent makers’’ in our Anti-Bunk party that has to be rewarded. I’m self- made. There is some fellow named "Vox Poppuli” or something like that, I don’t know who he is, but I want him for Post Master General, he writes more letters than anybody. —WILL ROGERS. Akron, O., Octo. 8.—Enough coal is burned during a 24-hour working day, under the huge boilers at the factory in Akron where Goodrich tirea are made, to supply a city of more than 20,000 persons, according to Goodrich engineers.

SHIP YOUR SOUR CREAM I T O Macon Pure Milk Co. (Formerly Plummers Creamery) PROMPT PAYMENTS CORRECT WEIGHTS ACCURATE BUTTER FAT TESTS Macon Pure Milk Company MACON, GA. Wednesday, October 17th.. to supply steam for vulcanizing rub- ‘ ber and many other uses. On thej basis of a ton a week to each home, the 3,200 tons of coal burned at Goodrich during a week would sup ply 3,200 families. At the accepted average of 4 persons to a home, this huge coal pile would Berve 12,800 persons in the coldest weather. In excess of 160,000 tons of coal were burned at the Akron Goodrich plant last year. But winter weather severe enough to require a ton of coal a week lasts only a short time. The average home is heated during the winter months with not more than 12 tons of coal. The average cold weather period during which furnaces are fired, is seldom longer than eight months of any year. With these conservative ipptoximations, it is easily seen that the huge Goodrich plant at Akron, burns more coal during a working day than the average American city during the coldest weather. An economical use of exhaust steam applied to heating the Good rich plant. However, -exhaust steam is not sufficient for a factory of more than 120 acres of floor space. Steam is used in hundreds of de partments for vulcanising thousands of rubber products. Obviously, the output of a small coal mine is re- quired to generate steam for this great factory.

GOOD automobile is built to stand years of use. It will provide ..iany thousands of miles of satisfactory transportation. But only occasionally are all its years and all its mileage used up by one owner. Many owners turn their cars in after an aver age use of only two to three years—long be fore the cars’ lives have been exhausted. This custom brings into the market every year so-called “used” cars which rep resent outstanding opportunities to buy un used transportation at low cost. Every year more and more people ap preciate this fact. Today millions cf families are driving care of which they are the second or third or even fourth owners; and this year the volume of new car sales and trade- in transactions has created wider choices and greater values in unused transportation than ever before. out of & buy used cars T* HREE out of five of the car „ you see on the road have been purchased as “used” cars. You cannot tell—nor do you ask your self—whether the driver of any particular car b its first owner, or its second or its third, providing the car looks well and is running satisfactorily. The care which General Motors dealers have accepted in trade vary in name, body- style and price. Some have seen sturdy ser vice; in others the potential mileage has scarcely been touched. And all offer a wide field of opportunities— To the family wanting transportation at lowest possible cost. To the family wishing to own a car of s higher price class. To the family needing a second or third car to meet the requirements of all its members. We invite you to examine the unused trans portation in the stores of General Motors dealers.
