PE O P L E used to be se cretly envious of t h e

y o u n g fellow w h o c a m e tear ing u p the s t ree t and stopped his car w i t h a jerk.

N o w they are inclined to criticise such a b u s e of tires. A m a r k of t h e g rowing consciousness about tires— their service, thei r work , their value.

This same respect for a good tire is the reason why the foursquare tire dealer has passed up odds and ends, "job lots", "seconds", "cut prices"—and come put squarely with the standard quant;^} service of U. S. Tires.

He is getting a bigger, and alsp better, tire biisiness than he ever had before.

He is dealing now •with his otvn land

of people. The substantial citizen. The man who knows that you can't get something for nothing. The steiady cua-' tomer—not the bargain hiinter.

• « • ' . To the man who hais not y0t

learned the standard tire service he is entitled to we say-—

Go to the dealer in U. S. Tires and make him show yoit

Here is a man in close touch with one of the 92 U.S. JPactory Branches—a constant supply of fresh, live U, S. Tires.

The U. S, Tire you buy is a tire built for current demands. No overproduction. No piling up of stock. No loss of mileage by

hanging around on the'dealer's racks.

E v e r y w a y you look at itj a par quality tire at a net price.

Here's why CAMELS the Quality cit

g E C A U S E we put the utmost quality into this ^ one brand. Camels are as good as it 's possible for skill, money and lifelong knowledge of fine tobaccos to make a cigarette.

Nothing is too good for Camels. And bear this in mind! Everything is done to make Camels the best cigarette it 's possible to buy. Nothing is done simply for show.

Take the Camel package for instance. It 's the most perfect packing science can devise to protect cigarettes and keep them fresh. Heavy paper —secure foil wrapping—revenue stamp to seal the fold and make the package air-tight. But there's nothing flashy about it. You'll find no extra wrappers. No frills or furbelows.

Such things do not improve the smoke any more than premiums or coupons. And remember—^you must pay their extra cost or get lowered quality.

If you want the smoothest, mellowest, mildest cigarette you can imagine—and one entirely free from cigaretty aftertaste, '

I t ' s Camels for you.

Neighborhood Club. A Uttle Neighborhood -cltib is being

started at the Center, the preliminary meeting having been hold at Misa WInslow's laat Monday aftornoon. The purpose of these gatherings will be purely social and to promote the community spirit by getting better acquainted with one another. Summer residents come here every year and remain tor several months without much neighborly meeting or acquaintance. We mean to be friendly and social w-ith cach other and the all-year residents, but the w-eeks go by, nothing la done and we go back to the cities again with very little Interest ,in the community outside of ourselves. This year we are going to try a new plan and come together quite Informally each week, have a cup ot tea and a social hour. There will be no oflicers and no program tor "improving the mind," (The Grange, the Alliance and the Altrurian club all attend to that.) Our purpose is merely to know each other better and to talk over neighborhood alTaIrs as they present themselves.

Mlss Hazel MacKaye, Mrs Snow and Miss Harriet Winslow will serve aa a committee to airange for the hospitality end, and for a time, anyway, these gatherings w-ill be held at the old Whitney mansion with Miss Helen Winslow, that being perhaps the moat central place,. Later other Invitations will be accepted. The meetings will be held weekly, Monday afternoons at 3.30, and all the neighborhood women and guests are invited to attend w-ithout further notice—the: "neighborhood" being approximately considered as covering the region betw-een Mrs. Lewis Farnsworth's and Pound hill.

Mrs, Bradford. Margaret Bradford and Mrs, Ayory will bo hostesses on next Monday at the flrst regular meeting, and it Is hoped that a large attendance will be in evidence. Come, bring your work—and your babies it >ou w-ant to! H. M, W,

If a teacher In a public school In the Philippines desires to punish a child, sho doesn't have to apply the

; ruler. She simplf sentences the offending ptypU to remain away from school

.a few days I This Is tbe most severe punishment

she can inflict, for Filipino children take nn almost abnormal pleasure In going to scbool and acquiring an edu-

. cation. The all-rillplno legislature. In response to the popular demand for "schools, and still more schools," Is constantly Increasing Its appropriations for education, bat the schools can scarcely be constructed fast enough to cnre for the ever-Increasing enrollment The school enrollment Is now 892,000 without any compulsory attendence laws. When Dewey sailed Into Manila Bay there were 2,100 prlvato schools In the Islands. Today there are 6,500 schools and colleges, with 17,000 Filipino teachers and about 1,000 other teachers, 341 of w-hom are Americans, '

The University ot the Philippines Is the center of learning of the entire Orient and Is the pride of the Filipino people. It has an enrollment of 3,500 students. Santo Tomas university of Manila, older than Harvard, Is another famous seat of learning.

The school system Includes normal sehoois, agricultural colleges, twenty-seven farm Schools, a nautical school and a school for the deaf and blind.

The Filipino pnpll. In addition to learning English and In addition to his regular studies, learns basket making, embroidery and hat weaving, the trades peculiar to the Islands, as well as the domestic sciences and pedagogy. There are more positions than can be fllled by the trade sciiool and commercial college graduates. The trade and agrlculturar schools produced $1,-176,850 worth ot goods In 1919.

There Is nothing that the Filipino people take more pride in and that

they are more grateful to the United States for, than their school system, which has been declared by many competent critics to be one of' the finest In the world. While the system was Implanted In the Islands by Americans, every cent of the cost has been cheerfully borne by the Filipino people. The schools are making an English speaking race of the Filipino nation. English is the offlclal language, and It Is declared will continue to be when Independence Is granted.

"Today there Is hardly a barrio where youngsters cannot be found who speak English. One-third of the house of representatives and eighteen of the twenty-four senators speak English. In the next election. In 1922, the young men of the new schools wlll be stepping Into control, and the first great goal of the public school system will have been reached."

This Is a photograph of the famous old Bridge of Spain, Manila. It Is now a departed landmark of the Philippines, for Us place has been taken by one of the flnest bridges In the entire Orient, the new Jones bridge.

The Jones Bridge Is named In honor of tho late Congressman W. A. Jones of Virginia, author of the Jones law of 1910 which promised the Filipinos Independence upon the establishment of a stable govemment

The old Bridge of Spain Is called "the mother of Manila's bridges." The original bridge was built of pontoons sometime between the years 1590 and 1600, being known as the Bridge of Boats. The stone bridge shown above was built about 1C30. It was twice damaged by earthquakes, and was once partly demolished by a flood.

\yhether you help Nature by -wise or foolish means 13 left to your own judgment. To simply force bowel movement is unwise, unnatural and ineffective.

Dont Leavo Manure In Piles Exposed to Weather Conditions Favorable to Loss By Washing—Use It to Make a Compost Heap.

peat the layers until all the waste bas been disposed of and then cover the whole with a layer of earth.

If It Is desired to add to the heap from time to time the top layer may be opened and the new material emptied Into the hole thus made. This Is convenient for the suburban home where there la no animal to consume the kitchen waste. In the spring the ' heap 1? well mixed with a fork and the compost Is ready to be spread on the garden plot. The heating manure win effectively destroy any weed seed present and wlll also break down the structure of most of the materials that have been thrown upon the pile. Thr process may be continued Indefinitely by simply adding enough manure to insure heating. Compost Is especially valuable for use In hotbeds and coldframes.

CLEANING UP INSECT PESTS

Many of Hibernating Species May Be Destroyed in Winter By. Clean-

Ing Up Obscure Cornere.

Much cnn be done now to redace the possibility of Insect plagues next summer If a little effort Is directed toward the destruction of Insect shelter areas. Around the grounds and gardens, under hedges, beside ditches, and In fence corners are bunches of insect-sheltering weeds or grass. . B y the time cold weather approaches many kinds of Insects In the adult or Immature stages have taken full advantage of these nooks and hidden away there for the winter. The bureau of ento-molog.v. United States Department of Agriculture, sa.vs that If these spots are cleaned up and the refuse cut and burned, many of these hibernating Insects will be destroyed and the damage from .such pests during the coming .season will be materially lessened.

Chickens Cleanse Themselves by Wal. lowing in Soil and Dust Box

Chickens never wash, as many other birds do, but cleanse themselves by wnllowlnR m soil. ^Vheê board er teiuent floors are nsed In the chicken house, some means for dusting shotild be provided during the winter nionths, say poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. For a (lock of 50 to 60 fowls a dust box 8 by 3 feet or 4 by 4 feet will generally be fonnd large enongh, and should be placc<I where It can be reached by stin-light during as much of thc day as possHiIe.

Fine, light, dry dust Is the best kind with which to fill thc box, bnt sandy loam Is; good. Road dust Is recommended by mnny, but It Is apt to ho filthy. Coal or wood ashes mny be mixed with the soil If desired.

ings were so recently destroyed by fire, caused by the lightning, the family have now returned to camp there while making permanent plans. The garage was used as the base of their present habitation, with projecting piazzas for livinr; and sleeping rooms, and Mr. and î^s.

Mr. and Mrs. Morgan feel the impossibility of acknowledging the many kindnesses shown at the time of their great loss of home and per.sonal belongings, but they nevertheless wish all their friends to realize that thoy sincerely appreciated every act of kindness and help, which camo from so many sources. Tho number of their friends and acquaintances was demonstrated anew l>y the incident, as hun-j dreds visited the scene of the ruins, and all were in sympathy with the family in their sorrow for their beautiful home. In a home where the choicest articles of three generations had been gathered, every day brings to mind something lost. Rare books, mementos of the children, keepsakes, are recalled, beside the real valuable articles of jewelry and furniture, all of which was lost in the flames.

It is a matter of congratulation that Mr. Morgan does not feel inclined to give up his residence in thU town.

of the Comniunity church on Thursday of last week was the usual plea-sant occasion, and the finishing touch was given by one ot tho finest entertainments In the eveniirg which it Is the good luck of a Pepperell .audience to often enjoy.

The sale opened at three o'clock with the t.ibles in charge of the following ladies: Fancy artlcies, Mrs. \V. .V. Mault, Mrs. Drawbridge, Mra, Durant and Mrs I>unn: aprons, Mra. W. F. Dennen, Mra, -Mary Maltman and Mra. Pond: candy, Mlas Rouae, Beatrice Boynton, Beth .McNayr and Hnzel Chapman. Thc mystery table held a tree with marvelous orango trult, in charge of Mlas EIIz.abeth Piper, assisted by Kllery Newhall and Kdward Durant, two boys of her Sunday achool class. All the tablea had excellent patronage,

Thc most attractive feature of thc sale during the warm time of the atternoon was the toa-room, where most dellcloua sandwiches and cakes, with Iced drinks and lce crenm wore serv-ed by Mesdamea Miller, H.ayea, Chapman, Tower, Barnes and Chapman.

Tho decorative scheme, under the direction of the Mlases Wright and Carter and Mra, Richardson, deserves a paragraph by Itaelf, the result w.as ao satisfactory. An nIry appearance waa tho moat noticeable thing to those entering, produced hy the frlngy, feathery line ot asparagus from thc top of the aide walla and about the room. Cool green shado-ws playod In tho cornera of the stage, where small pine trees wero grouped, and In front of tho massed effect of green, bunches of yollow daisies relieved thc greenery. The decorationa were arranged with much attention to color elTccta and with artlatic aklll.

A program waa arranged for tho cvoning by Miaa Mary Wood, chairman of tho comrr)^lttoo, which ple.iaod everybody attondlng, tho only regret being that not more . pcoplo w-cre present, Tho out-of-town artists
