One of the annoying features of city life, as I find it here, is the
perennial nuisance of back alley cats. London is the only city I know of

What Constitutes Advertising
In order to allay a misunderstand­

tutes news and what advertising,
we print thiB very simple rule, which
is used by newspapers to differenti­
ate between them: “ALL future
events, where an admission charge
is made or a collection is taken IS
ADVERTISING.” 'This applies to
organizations and societies of every
kind as well as to Individuals.
All reports of such activities after
they have occurred Is news.
All coming social or organisation
meetings of societies where no
money contribution is solicited, initi­
ation charged, or collecton taken IS
NEWS.

At assembly Wednesday morning
Rev. C. A. Edwards told the high
school students about the graves of
great men which he had visited—
Columbus, Washington and Lincoln.
The latter’s grave was viewed during
Rev. Edwards’ recent trip to Detroit,
where he went to attend a national
conference of the Methodist Episco-'
pal church.
f
Having delivered 500 speeches on
the Great Emancipator, the Ashland
divine was especially interested in
viewing Lincoln’s tomb. Four hours
were spent at the sacred spot, part
of the time in offering a prayer of
thankfulness that America had been
blessed with such a great leader.
The weather was rainy and no other
visitors were present. Within the
building which shelters the tomb
there are 500 pictures of Lincoln, i
Rev. Edwards has a photograph of j
Lincoln which was printed from the
original negative, made in Washing- i
ton. The picture will be framed and I
loaned to the high school, where
it will be hung in the superinten­
dent’s office. The speaker told of
spending four delightful (day$i in
Westminster Abbey, the last resting
place of many great Britons. He sat
in the coronation chair, which had
been occupied by several British
sovereigns.

What If you could give a High School
boy or girl a Christmas present that
through a little effort on the part
of its possessor would grow increas­
ingly valuable!
A “Nationalized” Savings Account
fits that description. What young
person wouldn’t like a pass-book
with a deposit of five or ten dollars?
And it’s very probable that such a
start would encourage them ¡to
keep on.
Why not try it? Thrift is an essen­
tial life lesson.

The sergeant’s home is at Belleview,

Woodflll was a lieutenant and cap­
tain, but such are the fortunes of war
that he is back again in the ranks.
* Sergeant Woodflll has been in the
army twenty years. He was a non­
commissioned officer when the United
States entered the World war. After
*the armlstlce he re-entered the regular
army as an enlisted man.
He had attacked almost single-hand­
ed a series of German machine gun
nests- had killed the crews, killing "the
last of them with an intrenching pick.
When Interviewed by newspaper
men he said of his deeds: “My only
regret is that I could not have done
more.”
Pershing Doesn't Share Regret.
This regret was not shared by the
commanding general of the army.
General Pershing placed this man
ahead of Sergt. Alvin York, who stood
off and captured 132 Germans.
The statement by General Pershing
was based on the citation, as a result
of which Woodflll, then a lieutenant,
received a commission (temporary) as
captain, the congressional medal of
honor, the erolx de guerre with palm,
was made a chevalier of the Legion
of Honor, and received from Monte­
negro the Order of Prince Danllo (fifth
class).
But here is Woodflll’s citation:
“For conspicuous gallantry and in-
trepedlty above and beyond the call
of duty in action with the enemy at
Cunei, France, October 12, 1918. While
he was leading his company against
the enemy his line came under heavy
machine gun fire, which threatened to
hold up the advance.
“Followed by two soldiers at 25
yards, this officer went out ahead of
his first line toward a machine gun
nest and worked his way around its
flank, leaving two soldiers in front.
“When he fot within ten yards of
the gun it ceased firing, and four of
the enemy appeared, three of whom
were shot by Lieutenant Woodflll.

What Kind of a Day
Do You Wish Yoursdf?
Suppose you could make
a wish a t the breakfast table
and finally have the wish come
true. Would you say,
“I want this to be a good
.day,” or—
“I ’m willing for this day
to drag along?”
I f you keep on wishing
your days with the food you
eat, finally the wish is likely
to come true.
G rap e-N u ts helps your
wish for a good day. Nothing
miraculous; just the natural
result from right food with
the right taste.
There is a charm of flavor
and crispness in Grape-Nuta

—building strength without

A Grape-Nuts breakfast
