- Another Price Reduction. The Nash Motors Comipany has announced price reductions ranging up to $300.00 on the Advanced Six and Special Six lines. The new low prices were effective November Ist. o change has been made in the Nash models themselves, and the chkaracter and quality of the cars remain exactly ag before. This sweeping Nash cut in prices is, in effect, a double reduction according toH. H, McCarty General Sales Manager of the Nash Motors Company. ‘When the new Nash models were nationally introduced July 23rd” says Mr, McCarty, “they presented new and original body designs, tar reaching improvements in construction and many refinements in engineering and equipment all of which entailed large increases in manufacturing cost. If Nash sales and production had not been smashing all records for volume at that time we would certainly have been compelled to increase prices materially. But Nash prices were held at the same figure an dthe response on the part of the public to this offering of greater value and greater qualily was instantaneous and country wide. In the three months’ period since national Nash inaugural day July 23rd when these new cars were first placed on display, sales have more than eqgualled one-half the sales for the entire year of 1924, which was .a banner yvear for Nash. So that it is now possible for uys to make these sweeping

reductions onthe Advanced Sjx and Special Six lines and thus pass on the earned benefits of record-breaking production to buyers.

e Dollar Wise, There is a man in our town .- And he 'is” wondrous wise. : He doesn't fall for every scheme That hot-air crooks devise . When he invests his money. He shuns all tips and guesses, And looks for constant - éarning power. ' And records for successes. . A Partial-Payment Test Purchases made on the installment plan have grown enormously in the last few years. The indebtedness ot the American people contracted for merchandise bought on this plan is estimated to total approximately $3,000,000,000. The ease with which homes furniture, automobiles, jewelry clothing and thousands of other things may be purchased on a promise to pay in the future has been beneficial, doubtless in so far as it has contributed to the high.standards of living in this country. Without easy credit homebuying and the purchase of commodities of an essential nature would be impossible on a large scale. . On the payment on the installment plan may lead many people to live beyond their means and to extravagance in the purchase of non-essentials. o

Little Real Progress 4 in the Passing Years

If we go back to life as it was led about 4000 B. C. in Ur, the ancient city of Babylonla, we find that people’s minds and manners have not changed so much as some of us imagine, ' ‘ At a recent exhibition at the British museum of antiquities recovered from the Ur site one could see little pigmies of ladies whose dresses had flounces, frills, or accordion plaits. And thete were all sorts of little decorative obJects, good-luck charms consisting of the heads of lions, bulls and frogs, and cornelian necklaces, which are much worn today by those who are attracted by the frequent occurrence of the cornelian in recent archeological discoveries. - ; S

In those days kings paid tribute to ladies. Here is an inscription on one of the tablets found: “To Innina, the Great Lady, His Lady Ur-Engur, the Mighty Hero, King of Ur, King of Summer and Akkad. has built ‘Esh Bur, her beloved House.” ; :

Four or five thousand years ago children, too, had to learn grammar and arithmetic. - Tablets for teaching these subjects were unearthed, ahd on one of these was the inseription, “The Property of the Boys’ School.” But the children played also: the model of a baby’s rattle is among the discoveries. " . L Industrial life seems to have been very rigidly organized; in fact it had many points in common with Bolshevik rule in Moscow. Tablets were found on which (in the form of twelve columns) the accounts of a factory run by a temple were recorded. The temple received wool from the farmers as tithe or rent, amd distributed it to women slaves or sub-contractors for weaving. : <

A strict account was kept (in duplicate) of the receipts, of the weight of wool issued, of the amount and quality of the cloth returned, of the measurements specified, and of the names of the persons to whom payment was made, all of which was indorsed by receiving officers and witnesses.

No ca’ canny was allowed. Payment was made in rations of food, and these varied according to. the production of each individual worker, ;

There was little sentiment. An old woman got no more than a child. Death and sickness were carefully noted, so that pay in the one case might cease and in the other be suspended.—Vancouver Province.

Bible Many Centuries Old

A Ggennerg Bible four hundred and seventy years old was recently brought to London by a well-known bookseller. The Bible has been in the possession of the Melk Benedictine monastery, 47 miles from Vienna, for 300 years. Despite its age, it is in excellent condition. There are only 12 other complete copies in the world. The illuminated initial letters have a perfect coloring, and each leaf has a very distinct watermark. The owner said that the superstitious would he interested to know that to obtain this copy, which is one of the 13, he traveled backwards and forwards four times and each time he occupied No. 13 sleeping berth, the last time he was in London being on the 13th. He says his Gutenberg is in far better condition than the one in the British museum. ;

Made Valuable Find

Finding a California redwood log is almost as good as finding a gold mine or so, says George Walker, of Cannon, Beach, Ore. - He dug up a redwood which was partly buried by the sand. He worked two days with a team and| scraper and thep began sawing it up in lumber lengths. He estimates that he has taken $3,000 worth of lumber out of the log and has cut 30 circular dining table tops worth $75 each. The log was 8 feet through and 50 feet long. The rings show that it was five, hundred and twenty-seven years old. It had lain in the same place for many years and no one realized its value.

Slow Growth of Oaks

- England’s famed oaks are disappearing. Many oaks were cut down, during the war, as the wood was urgently needed. Said a botanist: “The wood of an oak is not really any good| until the tree is four hundred years old, and people today cannot afford te grow oaks for posterity. Originallys large parts of England were covered with oaks. The tree is almost a rarity now in some places. It is said, that an oak takes 400 years to grow to full size, is mature for another 400 years, and takes 400 years more to decay. In some cases I should say this is itrue.” :

Looking for a Motive

“Josh,” said Farmer Corntossel,” “I appreciate kindness, but I don’t want to impose on nobody. I've been kind o' downhearted lately, but that mustn’t spoil the comfort of others.”

“Whose joy. did you think you were killing?” . - “Yours. I want you to tell me frankly whether you are wearin’ them newfangled clothes because you lik¢ ’em or because you’re trying to meke me laugh.”—Washington Star.

Was Not a Poacher

For several days a patient fisherman had been seen standing on the shores of a pond at Wilton, N. H. Day after day the fisherman ‘stood there, until a particularly constant watcher, sure that the fell&u\wus catching some trout, notified the game warden. The warden came but the watcher got the laugh. The man turned out to be a scarecrow.—Boston Globe, ; :

Big Apple Crop.

On the Charles Judson farm near Bristol there were raised this year and ready for the market 5,000 bushels of apples. .

{ _ The Kutie Kids. l Wawaka correspondent has the following: : _ ' «Little Danny Hayes grandson of Mrs. Annie Summers is winning renown throughout this country by his singing and dancing, His father it (will be- remembered a policeman on ‘duty'was killed by a bandit and Hib‘_bing Mont., folks *“would lay, down i their lives for the child and his sister” His dancing is 'like the birds” and he and his partner are kmown to stage folks as the “Kutie Kids.” " Little Danny has a voice of such sweetness that he is also known as the «“Little John McCormack.” .The child is well known here his mother being a former citizen.”

Much Booze Located.

Raids in ‘which approximately $5OO worth of whiskey gin wine and beer were confiscated were staged Monday night by Deputy Sheriffs Glenn Banks, Frank Knisley Ralph Logan of Goshen and an Elkhart officer at the cottage of James McGill three miles east of Elkhart on the Bristol road, and at the adjacent barbecue stand of Ollie Helman. McGill was arrested. ;
