ThiH 1m Daylight Saving Time The reason that there ia so much stealing going on nowadays is?it costs lota of money to run automobiles and automobiles must run. Now Uncle Joe's Sannmie says thHt the man ain't paying him all he'.i worth for clerking in his store, so he just knocks down a dollar or two now and then. He has paid the Hth installment on his car and has not had to borrow a cent so far from anybody. Sammie's wages are 11 dollars a week and he has to pay only 4 dollars for board and 1 dollar for coca Cpla and 2 dollars for laundry work and 1 dollar for dry cleaning and 3 dollars for picture shows and hair cuts and massages and 7 dollars for gas and oil and 2 dollars for repairs, he manages to save enough each week to meet his 12-dollar installments which come on Saturday after a busy day. Sammio fell out with Sellem & Lieliverem when old man Sellem jacked him up one day because he forgot to ring up 5 dollars he got for some groceries. Sp>mmie claims that he is naturally forgetful and that old man Sellem (Yes, that's what he called Mr, Sellem) acted too hasty in raising sand. He says he has gone several days just lots of times before he would think, to register a cash sale and lots of times he had spent some %f the money before he discovered that it was not his'n. Times ain't like they useter be. i A promise is merely a statement of prospects to the average man of today. So-called reliable men don't seem to think anything of letting their .notes go a few days past due or their grocery accounts pile up for several months. They do not seem to realize it, but those things causeJ them to lose their credit. A man can get along better with a good credit than he can with some money since dependability became to scarce 'in the busiuetja, w<irld. \ If you would find out about your neighbor, utsk a filling station keeper how he paya hia bills, or watch the expreasion of hia phyaician when f you mention /hia name, or take no- d tice of how he contributea to the " church and charity, or better still? tJ see how hia cook and washer-woman 0 are faring at hie. hands. 80, folks, c there a not much necessary stealing V going on: that is?the 19 and 30- { model thieves are hunting inner tubes ^ Hnd casings and tobacco and cash. v They are not looking for meat and 1 bread; it's luxuries that they are af- ( things that they can do without.

Kentucky Passes Retail Sales Tax Frankfort, Ky., March 21.?A stormy six-day session of the Democratic-controlled Kentucky general assembly came to a noisy close early today, a few hours after both branches had passed a resolution of censtore of the Republican governor, Flem D. Sampson, and the latter had charged that the terms of two appointments he had sent to the senate had been fraudulently altered The legislature overrode every one of the governor's vetoes, and enacted bills that put out of office the highway commission and the textbook commission.

Ono f Mr. Hives' most uncanny ox|>ennces was that of having "the snake urso" put on him by an old woman vho believed him to be responsible or her son's imprisonment. Snakes d all sizes and varieties followed him vherever he went. He found them n his bed and in his boots. Most if them were poisonous, and one was nore than five feet long. The old voman waited for him outside his ompound at Obudu, and put the make curse on him in front of his nttive servants and the whole village. "I might have had her locked up rs a crazy person.but after a vhile I could not have given the orler, for I felt as though I were beiig hypnotized, and could only stare rlankly at her." The following ufternoon, Mr. Hives pound a fat, brown snake coiled up on lis bed. His orderly decapitated it with a hutchet. Within three days fifteen snakes were found and killed, ii1 in places where he was likely to <o. Mr. Hives decided to leave the station, Hut us soon as he reached fiis destination he found several basking in the sun on the low mud walls. "Then, when I was usleep undc my mosquito curtain that night," says Mr. Hives, "I was disturbed by a 'flop' above me. When I raised my hand it came in contact with something heavy that was making the curtain sag almost down to my face. Cautiously, I touched it again and felt the cold, clammy coils of a snuke." He then decided to return to Obudu' and find the old woman who had cursed him. As soon as he arrived he found a snake on top of his boxes and Mr. Hiv*es shot himself in the foot in an attempt to kill it. Mr. Hives produced his false teeth and snapped then in the witch's face, declaring in a loud voico that if she did not remove the snake curse, his teeth would haunt her and bite her for the rest of her days. Luckily the witch believed him, and Mr. Hives was never troubled by snakes again. ?London Tit Bits. The longest snake of which there wUs authentic record was a few inches more than 30 feet in length.
