France has 3,000 aircraft, the Uni-

that some of the smaller powers are

Sonny smoothed out the paper
and read the announcement again.
At first his brow clouded angrily.
Then he grinned. "Shucks," he
murmured. "I'll bet that li'1 spit,
fire writ this for him. It sounds like
fixer, anyways."
Ire glanced down the column. There
was another notice:

JAMES GRAY, Sheriff.
The scar faced thann sullenly 'rais-
ed his hands shoulder high. Sonny
tack his gulf and passed it to Thonnp-
en of the Circle !Bat.
"Themeson." he d"awned, "I wish
you'd take these two fellers an' put
'em in jail, The sheriff, he give yuh
the keys. Me, 1 reg'n I'll ride off to

pleasantly, "that yuh all realize the

There was a pause, and then a
road of laughter. It wee not wholly
aroused laughter, but -a letdown from
a tense moment. Sonny grinned and
went out.
Business in the Roaring Zephyr
was ex,celleut • for' some time after-
ward. Other saloons and dancehalis
were deserted as the news spread,
and the occupants of the ether homes
of festivity hastened to the Roaring
Zephyr to hear: from an eyewitness

There's something in the adver-
tisements today to interest you. Read
them.

Do You protest, and say that' you're not a very disobedient per-
son? Bo patient, for a raiment, and wo shall see.
Look" at the advertisements which you see in this newspaper,
and in other newspapers. Most of them bid you de something some-
thing which, if done, would be advantageous to you, as well as being
profitable to the advertiser. But do you always obey these adver-
tisers? You do not! And what is your excuse?
Take your teeth, by way of example? Are you doing what you
can to prevent cr delay their decay and loss. If you are like most
persons you are not. Yet you are being urged ,by advertisements
to use regularly a product which, if used regularly, would keep your
mouth and teeth in a really good health condition; and would enable
-you to ]seep your teeth sound and keep away toothache.
It isn't the price of the product which keeps you from using g it
it's just plain inertia and procrastination.
Then there's an electric ser other kind of washer -this by way
.01 example—able to be purdhased on the instalment, plat. The
advertisements bid you buy it, and, give you good reasons why you
should use this labor-saving, life -prolonging mechanism.
Inas every man and every woman known to you obeyed the
dommands of the advertisements of this washer? They have not.
And their resistance cannot beputdown to disbelief. The .explan-
ation -is: Most of us are shameless preerastinators—putting' off,
putting off, putting off all the time.
When you reach advertisements, see in them the untiring effort of
manufacturers and institutions to. cause you to do right things.
Take the life insurance companies, by way of example: Their
advertisements urge all of tis to insure our lives. Yet how stub-
born most of us are! We resist the biddings of the advertisements
and the canvasses of the salesmen of life. insurance. We defer do-
ing the obviously right thing, often for years!
•
So when you see and read advertisements, and when you feel
ine]dned to say, "What a shocking lot of'mloney is spent by advee-
ti:sers"1, deflect an this idea: It is the stubiburn disobedience of
men and women that is tp be condemned.
We should be gretefil to those advertisers who pursue 00
all our life,' bidding us' do things, which if done, would be advan-•
tageous to vs. ._
