THE SPEED MANIAC
Hie ,is a wonderful study, phs-
*4mlagically. Usually in most
matters dependable and as
fkmest as the average man is.
Bert there is one time when he
« most dangerous, that's whey
lie ts driving an automobile.
This does not have reference
to the drunken fool who takes
the wheel and drives carelessly,
bat the man or woman, (the
latter is more brutal with
spee<j than the former) who
by with an apparent
and dexterity oftentimes
with no place to go but in a
fcrfaver hurry to* get there.
Such a driver is frequently
thrown into a ditch, but rarely
ever killed, just why, no one
san fathom, still he continues
Isis reckless ramble.
Why the rush No explana-
tion for there is no reason. He
doesn't maliciously plan to
speed as a rule but speeds be-
cause he can't help it. Pos-
*My /some nervous disorder
fnwents his taking a moderate
Sact, sometimes it's for show,
bet chiefly because he can't
feip it. /
There is hardly a way tp stop
loch a driver from s^eedtfig un-
fess the law should ./prevent
kia driving entirely, lie might
he branded oiwthe forehead, in-
dicating to everyorie that he
is a speed manic anCNs an un-
safe person to ri$K with a car
Should he continue to drive a
car, put him in the lock up with
oat bond or a fine and give
time to reflect upon the
a process might arouse
ftis senses and his irresponsi-
bility might be checked. But
if you see him coming down the
road, the best advice that can
be offered is, to get out of his
wuj. He's crazy.
THE MOSQUITO
That infernal nocturnal sing-
ing: of that pestiferous insect
kaown as the mosquito is the
worst objectioii to tit after all.
Vfeiy few would seriously de
aSHMree this littl^ specie of th
gnat were it not fot its regu-
lar cantata. It \ simply . can't
be. stilled.. This \ may be ex-
by the fact that only
female mosquitoes &ng and bite
This operation is performed by
the probosis, which is defined
as a hollow tube or organ at
tached to the head. Within
tlTis perboris will be found six
small sharp needles which
puncture the skin and the hol-
low section about them allow the
blood to be sucked into the
mosquito's body. Of course
this is unpleasant but nothing
to compare with the song.

THE BAPTIST REVIVAL
Church revivals are supposed
to be held to put life, more
zest into the church work. The
good fellows who have became
estranged from curch work may
become reconciled and renew
their experiences with the
church while many will not.
Many church members will make
new professions and resolutions
only to break them within a
short time The church how-
ever will experience new life
and much good wll be done. A
revival is good for any church.
The pastor of the church
Robert G. Behrman, will hold
the meeting and will be assist-
ed by an able singer. No bet-
ter man could be seK.lecl to
hold this meeting is the opinior
of this writer for Rev. Behr-
r-i?n understands the local ven-
ditions of his church and will
no doubt aim his efforts toward
rectifying any defect should
they exist. May he succeed.

You've all seen cobwebs if
you ever climbed into a dusty
old attic or some old derserted
house. It may be true that
the old house was once a fam-
ous mansion or a hovel. A.
any rate it was a fine .place
for cobwebs for there was no
travel to brush then*- aside nor
housemaid or janitor to whisk
them down.
But you don't have to go
to the old derserted mansions
now-a-days to find cobwebs.
A stroll down the street of
your own little city may con-
vince you that we have cob-
webs hanging in clusters from
the doorways of some of our
business concerns like unto the
hanging Spanish moss from
some giant liveoak tree, but not
near so beautiful. These cob-
webs are not^iiieral cobwebs
but figurative ones. They are
cobweb^'which have grown,
ov^jr'the doorways of some ua-
ptfogressive business firm who
never advertise. They don't
keep step with tiie progress-
ive age in which they find them
selves. Step down the street
and see if you can find these
cobwebs or follow the adver-
tising representative of this
paper and he will show you.

FACTS
about used car
allowances
Most new car sales now in-
valve the trading-in of a
buyer's used car. More and
more people are asking: |
"Why should my used car
seem to have several val-
ues? .... Why should d<
ers in different makes
cars offer me allowances
differing materially?....
Does the largest allowance
offered mean the best deal
for me?"
Here are basic facts I
IYour used car has seei
different values because com-
petitive dealers are bidding to sell
you a new car.
2 Your used car has only one
fundamental basis of value:
what the dealer who accepts it in
trade can get for it in the used car
market.
3 The largest trade-in allowance
which is offered on your used
car is not necessarily the best deal
for you. Sometimes it is; but some-
times it is not
4 An excessive allowance may
mean that you are paying an
excessive price for the new car inN
comparison with its real value.
5 Judge the merits of the new
car in comparison with its
price, including a|l delivery and
finance charges. Then weigh any
difference in allowance offered on
your used car.
