Antomobllon are not essential to*
happiness unless the neighbor^ have
one. Mother and the girls suffer
* keenly every time it passes the house
ami lny awake at- night , trying to
think up new arguments that \411I Impress
old Dad. Dad finally decides
that he might uh well Starve to death
as be pestered to death and arranges
for a second mortgage on the house.Then
he visits an agent who oner
told him that a man of his standing
should have a car, and does his part
to encourage the discovery of new oil
wells.
The agent has been demonstrating
with the car for six months, but it is
still a new cur. As he tells Dad, it
is "just nicely limbered up." But by
the time Dad, drives it homo it has
become a used car and has depreciated
per cent. By the time all of
tho members of the family have
learned to drive, it, it Inis depreciated
in value another 25 per c ent. And
the gasoline bills jiave had a similar
effect on old Dad's hank balance.
The members of the family learn
to say "The Car," always with capitals;
to speak casually of what "she"
did on that hill north of town, and
to draw liberally on their imaginations
when revealing the number of
milts obtained: to- the gallon.
During the first three months the
car is washed every second day and
ran under a shelter when rain threatens.
But when the paint begins to
dim and the tires to wear, the mud of
many roads bliokes the. spokes and
the family refers to the ear lightly as
"the old boat."
The fever lias . cooled. But one
more family lias learned to class an
iutomobile "as a necessity, and one
more rod has been placed in pickle
for the chap who invented the mortgage.
A lot more could be said good and
bad of the automobile. 1

A buyer in one of Edgetlvlds om-j
poriums of female fashion* recently
returned from Now York with nil the
latent fashion dope. *
A party of ladies wcro being shown
some of the new styles which had just
arriVeif from the fashion centers nnd
were being given the latest slants on
what was correct for spring wear.
After an interesting expatiatfon on
.the attractive novelties in the spring
styles, the fashion authority finally
reached the subject for skirts, which
candqr forces one to admit, have not
played so prominent a part nl the
fashions of recent years.
After explaining the new features
of the spring skirts, the gentleman
remarked?
?
"The correct length for skirts tltit
seasoA will bo 12 inches from the
knee."
One of the Indies, evidently very
much absorbed in the fashion forecast.
looked him struight in the eye
and nsked?
"Above or below ?" .
And she hasn't been able to understand
yet why the fashion authority
fell Over in a faint.
All I have to say is that if the
skirts this spring are gonig to be
worn 12 inches above the knee?my
automobile, that 1 have been holding
td carry home fine new groceries from
Frank Huggins' new store at the depot?is
' for sale. Because I do not
want to desecrate a perfectly good
ndtomobile by running it slap into a
telephone pole or a tre or something.

The Pneumonia Month.
March is a typical pneumonia
month ami usually gives high rate ?1
mortality for the disease. -After a
long and hard winter, the system
loses much of its resistance and
people grow careless. AVhen every
cold, no matter how slight, is given
prompt ttnd Intelligent attention, there
is much less danger of pneumonia..
It should he borne in mind that pneumonia
is a germ disease and breeds in
the tliorat. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is an "expectorant- and -cleans
out the gernitladeneiV mucus gnd not
only cures a cold but prevents Its resulting,
in pneumonia. It Is pleasant
to take. Children take it willingly.
Clinuibcrlnlirs Cough Remedy
Nothing So Good for a Cough or Cold.
"Everyone who has used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy speaks well ol
it," writes Edward P. Miller. Abbottstown,
Pa. People who once use
this preparation are seldom satisfied
with any other. It is excellent to allay
a cough or break up a cold.
