Why Be So Careless
With a feeling of avoiding dirt,
Man makes daily changes of his shirt;
Spends an hour each morning in the tub;
Sends seven pairs of socks for weekly rub.
Yet seldom cleans a suit of clothes,
Until its stench assails his nose.

FIRE WASTE OUR OWN FAULT
-O-
Commenting on Our Country’s ap-
palling annual firse waste, the Wash-
ington Post says:
= The average American will not
take fire seriously. He lets inflam-
mable matter collect in out-of-the-
way corners. He stores combustible
materials in flimsy containers. He
throws lighted matches out. of the
window or into dry leaves in the
forest. He shakes ashes from his
cigar or cigarette into the waste bas-
ket. Consequently the nation is
called upon to pay a fire bill
of 8560,000,000 in a single year,
and during the past 49 years has
dug* down into its pockets for. some
$10,000,000,000. almost the amount
.owed to the United States in war
debts by the allied nations, to pay
for conflagrations.
“Not all fires are preventable.
The majority, however, are. If Amer-
icans will take, time to take care
in this connection, it will mean mil-
lions of dollars saved every year.”

LINDBERGH WEARY
OF THE LIMELIGHT
—o—
Now that Colonel Chas. A. Lind-
bergh has taken most of the mem-
bers of Congress and their families
on air flights in the interest of avi-
ation, he intends to stop making
public appearances for a time ex-
cept at airports, and will try to be-
come “Slim” Lindbergh.
For eleven months Lindbergh has
been perhaps the most discussed fig-
ure in the world. As a result all
sorts of myths have grown up about
him, due largely to his extraordinary
reticence. His friend, Russell Owen,
tells us a few things not heretofore
known about Lindbergh. Owen’s
story will appear in the monthly
Magazine Section of the Olney En-
terprise, May 4.
Color is the spice of life. Now we
have the kitchen stove pink, green,
orange, blue—any color to match the
wall paper or the cook’s dress. And
that’s not all—the colored bath tubs
are a dream and are alluring, the
modern bath rooms have alarm clocks
in them to awaken you out of your
trance their beauty creates. Wouldn’t
that make ;your blood pressure jump?
SOME LANGUAGE
—o—
“Tommy Wright” remarked the
teacher, “how do you write rite?”
“R-y-t-e” spelled,. Tommy slowly.
“That’s the wrong way to spell
rite. Try it on the blackboard.”
“W-r-y-t-e” printed Tommy.
“Wright, write rite right” shouted
the exasperated teacher, and the
class roared.
A dry cellar promotes the comfort,
convenience and health of those liv-
ing in the house. Where it is pos-
sible to obtain a drainage outlet, the
simplest and surest method of get-
ting rid of water in a cellar is to lay
a 4-inch tile drain along the outside
bottom of the footing course or wall
on the side or sides from which the
water comes. Where the presence of
trees or shrubbry or the cost of
excavation makes it inadvisable to
lay a drain outside of the founda-
tion, the drain is frequently laid
along the inside of the bottom wall.
A drain thus located generally re-
moves water pressure from the cellar
floor but is not as effective as an
outside drain for preventing the en-
trance of seepage and damages from
the earth back of the wall. Cellar’s
are sometimes made water-tight by
the application of Portland cement
plaster coats or overlapping layers
of waterproofing felt coated and
cemented together with hot coaltar
pitch or asphalt. Work of this kind
should be done only upon well pre-
pared surfaces and under favorable
climatic conditions. It is advisable,
wheiever possible, to employ skilled
men in the kind of work that is -to
be done.

^CHEVROLET
Dependability, Satisfaction
and Honest Value /
Never before in our history have
we delivered as many new Chev-
rolets as during the first three
months of this year. These cars
taken in by us have been
thoroughly inspected and re-
conditioned, with the result that
many of them can hardly be
distinguished from new cars.
Furthermore, these cars carry
the official red tag “with an OK
that counts” which shows at a
glance the exact and true condi-
tion under which the car is
offered for sale.
Come in and inspect these used
cars, and when you buy from us
you may do so, confident that
we want your goodwill, the same
as we now enjoy with Chevrolet
owners in this community.

You will agree that ive were

Which Will You Save
*\/’OU can save pennies or save chicks. Poul-
JL try yard facts show that ordinary untested
rations and mixtures such as hard boiled eggs
and oatmeal save pennies but not chicks. Usu-
ally 50% of them die. Poultrymen who are
making money invest one penny more per chick
and save 90 to 100% of their chicks. They feed
Purina Chick Startena, the buttermilk starting
ration containing
Cod Liver Oil.
We’ll be g|ad to
tell you of a feed-
ing plan that’s as
simple as ABC.
It saves chicks
and brings them
through to early
maturity.
