BLACK WELL JEWELER Q OPTOMETRIST CAMDEN SOUTH CAROLINA KEEP EYE ON HERS Hawaiian Owners of Chickens Are Sleeping Lightly. Fearful That Mm?. Pel*, the Qeddeee Who Lives in Kilaue* Crater, la Eager for More Poultry to Furnish Her Dinner. Owners of coal-black game cocks In Hawaii are keeping out uii eye to see that the chicken house la locked se curely every night. , , And that's all because the volcano of Kllauea Ik now the most active It Iium been for years. Six moii t h h ago Kllauea waa sput tering away In its mile-wide howl of burning, molten rock, with the }<\vel of the flaming crimson mm of boiling lava IRX> fe?t from the top of the cra ter. The night that Secretary of the Navy Daulols and hit* party paid Kllauea a vlMlt ? the latter part of August? the level of the seething lava lake was about W) feet below the crater's top. Several overflows already have oc curred, A cone which once Jutted 600 feet above the crater's top has melted away Into the sea of Are. Two houre after the secretary and his party left the main crater and a second smaller one, caved In, joining the craters. And Kllauea still Is going strong. ? As to the connection of all this with coal-black game cocks? Oh, that's very simple. Many years ago, when the Islands first were becoming a white man's land, Kllauea became angry. It roared and hissed and sputtered and the ground shook. Then the lava over flowed and moved slowly down the mountain side toward llllo. The native Ilawaiians had been Christians but a comparatively short time. Their fright knew no bounds, for the. Island legends are full of the tales of what Kllauea did when Mine, Pole, the goddess who lived In KUnueu's crntcr, became angry. So (he IJawallrttis prayed that the flow might stop, but It didn't. Then they danced, but that was In- i effective. Finally, forgetting their Christianity ; for a time, they sent a party by canoe to Honolulu to consult a few remain ing priests of ihe days when they all worshiped the strange South sea deities. , ~ "Throw a black rooster Into the lava flow," was the advice they brought back. The sleekest, shiniest cock on the Island of Hawaii was picked for the sacrifice, and while the maidens danced, the warriors cast the squawk ing bird Into the base of the lava flow. In an hour the flow had stopped. Mme^ . l>elc, .vthe most-feared goddess of the lslnnd,~'e^dently had been sat isfied with a chlcken#dlnner. American residents of the Island be lieve that If there Is ever another big lava flow, coal-blnck roosters will come Into demand once more. , A "No" That Made a Friend. A business man went to two bank ers. He wished to borrow $2,000 from one and $1,000 from the other. Ly man Anson tells the story In the Oc tober Issue of System, the Magazine of Business: The first banker loaned hlni $2,000, but was so unpleasant and eondescendliiR about It that the business man went bade to his office with the thought. "I'll never have any more dealings with that bank as long as I live." The second banker refused the loan of $1,000, but he did It so graciously and with So clear an ex position of his reasons, that the busi ness man left as a booster for the bank, and said to himself, "I'm going to put my affairs In such shape that there will be no earthly reason why this man should not loan to roe. 1 want to do business with him." The second banker had learned the art of saying "No." It is a real art. You have to practice it every day. 1 Automobile Doee Choree. Another way of making an auto mobile do all the farm chores at a small expense for gasoline has been devised by Frank It. Welsgerber of Sallnn. Kan. His invention Is an at tachment comprising a frame with a pulley at its forward end adapted to project In front of the radiator of the car; the frame has a coupling Connect ing Its" shaft to the crankshaft of the automobile, so that by starting up the engine it Lf possible to operate the threshing machine, saw wood, churn the buttTr, turn the Ice cream free*er, cut the fodder, turn the grindstone, operate the rream separator, or even milk the cow if the farmer Is equipped with suitable milking apparatua. U nrcrt. "Now," inquired the man of ponder ous manner, "what Is the cause of all this unrest?" "Well." replied the man who always tries to give some kind of an answer; "I can't undertime to speak for any : body except myself. Most of mine Is caused by a family of Jazzmanl&OJ In j the adjacent Mat." Only Wingsk "How do you know It was a stork and not an anpel that brought your little brother?"

HAY'S GARAGE Camden, S. C -r* , Everything in Stock for Your Car . ? . Light Weight and Durability are the best Guarantee of Quality Mm* miUs P*r milt ? Mor* milts ?? Hr*s THE difference between a Maxwell and a larger car is largely a matter of weight. Each carries the same average passenger weight, travels over the same roads, and at the same speeds. Per pound of metal the cost to make each is about the same. One lasts just about as long as the other. The mission of the Maxwell is to carry the same load, over the same roads, and at the same speeds at extremely low costs. That is highly efficient transportation. It is expensive to haul dead weight. Therefore, every superfluous pound has been eliminated. Light but strong metals have been used. These are the quality ' metals. They provide the "toughness," the wear, the ability to stand anv strain and shock; arid yet they are light in weight. This is the secret of the Maxwell. It explains why a Maxwell delivers a mileage ? that is inexpensive ? that is trouble Jess ? that is almost endless. The greatest efficiency economy record ever made is held by a Maxwell. It ran 22,020 miles con tinuously without one single stop of the engine, carried a full passenger load, averaged 22 miles to the gallon, at a speed of 25 miles an hour! The story of the Maxwell and its great acceptance by the world is a story of its 1 metals. For in five years 300,000 have been built, and these have made many friends. 1920 production increases to 100,000 Maxwells. Which will supply 60% of the demand. $985 f.o.b.
