That is the appealing title of our next great
serial story.
Kathleen Norris wrote it. That in itself is
a guarantee that it is human, appealing, intensely
interesting story about people of the kind we all
know.
"Maggie Johnston" the "Best Girl" of the
story, works in the ".Five -and -Ten." Fier father is
a letter -carrier. Her mother feels that she has mar-
ried beneath her.. Her older sister "Liz" works in
a beauty parlor.
Not much romance in Maggie Johnston's
it—finds
life you would say—but Maggie finds it
right in the "Five -and -Ten." You'll love Maggie
and you'll like "Joe" the boy who brings romance
into the little shopgirl's drab existence.
Don't Criss the first instalment of this great
serial story. It will begin in this paper next week.

BLYTH MEN CHARGED
Two Blyth men, Win. Nesbitt and
James Doherty, were before. Magis-
trate Reid on Tuesday an a charge
of theft of three bags of flax seed
from 3, R. Cutt's flax warehouse at
Blyth. The arrests were the result of
an investigation by Provincial Officer
Whiteside of Goderich and Constable
Ferguson' of Blyth.
It is alleged thatthe stolen seed
had first been hidden in ' -a shed and
that it was being reproved when the
supposed thieves saw somebody ap-
proaching and dumped it in the creek.
This was on Saturday last. The cur-
rent carried the seed up on the ice
of the creel. 'arid it was lying there
in plain view when discovered, There
had been complaints of frequent raids
on the warehouse, and when the flax
seed was observed in the creek it
served as the beginning of a trial
that Ied to the alleged culprits.
Nesbitt and Doherty elected trial
by judge and jury and were remand-
ed for a week, being admitted 'to bail
of $1,000 each, to appear on Tuesday
next before Magistrate Reid for pre-
liminary hearing,

Walkerton Boys Robbed
Liquor Control Store
Last Thursday morning when Mr.
Knox, Manager of the Liquor Con-
trol Store in Walkerton opened up
the store for business he found plenty
of evidence that others had paid an
earlier visit. The intruders took $15
in silver from the cash drawer and
helped themselves generously to var-
ious bottles of viands. The police of-
ficials started an 'investigation and
twelve young men will explain their
actions to the magistrate.
Gift Meets Prohibitive Tax
Bolshevism has balked the efforts
of an Arthur man to aid a relative
in Russia. Anxious to send a gift to
his sister there, R. Chaplin bought
groceries to the value of $2.70 with
the intention of hailing the parcel
to the land of the Soviet. Although
postage and other charges were $3.65
he was surprised to learn that the
Communist authorities had refused to
admit the parcel until a tax of $48
was paid. This demand was not met,
so the groceries are back in the On-
tario village.
How Autos are Butchered
A visitor to the Ford works in De-
troit thus describes the process of
butchering aged automobiles. Poor
old cars that rolled up their hundreds
`of thousands of miles, totals of mile-
age enough to make a fair start on
a trip to tite moon, they came slowly
along with gangs of men tearing
theist to pieces. Cushions, tires, cur-
tains, glass—such things are ripped
off and there was the naked steel
skeleton of the old car, halted under
a baling machine. Tons and tons
came down upon it in a great ham-
mer blow like a man smashing a very
small toy under his heel. When the
hammer lifted, the springs . of the
springs of the crushed car caused it
to hop up half a foot, not quite ov-
erwhelmed. A little later whena steel
fist, about 30 feet long punched the
carcass of the car into an open hearth
furnace that car was licked. It melt-
ed like a lump > of sugar in a cup of
hot tea. Through dark blue glasses,
silently loaned by a nearby gent, I
could see it begin to melt. Look in-
to that glare with naked eyes, and.
hours later, they say, you get the
flashes; you can't see at all for a
while.
Shirkers always give themselves,
away. They're as easy to see thruu
as Smith.
Mrs. Smith whispered in the small
hours:
"John the baby's awake:"
"Well, I'm not," whispered Smith
back. -
Silver Polish
Nothing need be said about clean-
ing by polishing, as we are all too
familiar with it. The only precaution
is to use soft cloths, and to be care-
ful about the quality of the silver
polish used. Anything rough will
scratch the surface, and remove the
'plate. I knew a bride who used Old
Dutch to polish her silver. It made
it nice and bright, bet it certainly was
not good for the silver to use such
an abrasive polish.
