EDITORIAL COMMENT
The rapacious inroads of the
professional
hijacker must
be
thwarted. His foraging forays must
be prevented by a law with teeth
in it or by a righteous uprising of
the law-abiding citizenry of our
whole fair country. The hijacker
is not a producer, he pays no taxes,
he has no place in organized bus-
iness, and his only method of piling
up riches for himself and his pos-
terity lies in robbing honest boot-
leggers of the labor of a life time.
He is undermining this great insti
tution that has taken some of the
best brains of the country ten
years to build up. The very foun
dation of the constitution is being
rocked by the hijacker’s unscrupul
ous and unfair methods of doing
business. Our great cities have
learned to depend upon the closal
industrial bootlegacy and it would
be a calamity indeed for this gi
gantic enterprise to lose its power
in the land. Where would Chicago
be '‘Without its great army or boot
leggers? Where would Sanfrancisco
be without its rum fleet, Write to
your congressman giving him your
views on the hijacker and his
heinous deeds. Implore your con
gressman to work for an amend
ment to the constitution making
hijacking a felony punishable by
arrest.

PALACE OF BEANS
WANTS MORE TRADE
This is an advertisement to let
the citizens of Cactus Flat and
Whiskey Slide and the rest of

who haven’t got any other place
to board.
The Palace of Beans caters only
to the best trade and if there are
any of that kind of people in this
section we would like to have you
try a meal at our place. Pies and
’i
pastries are baked fresh every time
they are baked and you can have
I your pick at five cents per each
■ and every cut. We also have fish
i and canned oysters in season. Try
I one of our gorgeous and stupendous
I bowls of Slum. Just like Uncle Sam
| fed his intrepid troops in the war
: that ended war. It is the kind of
I food that will stick to your ribs
and only ten cents for as much
of it as anybody but a hog can eat.
Short orders will also be served to
anybody who has time to wait for
them to be cooked. Fresh eggs in
season and a hot cup of coffee.
Also flapjacks for breakfast and
two sprigs of parsley with all meat
orders except chili and sandwiches.

A WONDERFUL DREAM
Bods by Ftsbtr
When Buick improves
upon Buick— the standard
for the year is set
Buick for 1928 introduces a higher standard of beauty and
luxury than the world has ever known. Buick interiors are as
modish as exquisite drawing-rooms—as harmoniously colored
—and as comfortable. Buick's new Fisher bodies are low-
swung without any loss of head-room or road-clearance.
And so, down to the smallest detail of construction, wherever
refinements could be made, Buick has made them. Again Buick
has improved upon Buick. Again the standard for the year is set.

night as I lay a-drer.ming,
c.-.me a dream so fair, the
tires upon my ancient fliv at last
would hold some air. The valves
no longer stuck at will, the motor
hit on four, the radiator ceased to
leak, the top it sagged no more.
The steering gear worked smooth
and slick, the battery was up, the
steady drone beneath the hood, sang
oil in every cup. I spun along the
concrete path. I leaped a sylvan
stream, but when my head bumped
on the floor, I knew ’twas but a
dream.
SCHOOLS THREATEN
TO TEACH ENGLISH
It has been rumored that classes
in English will be allowed in our
state schools after next year. The
classes will be installed for the
purpose of allowing pupils Aho
sire to learn to read and write the
kind of English that was endorsed
by a past generation to satisfy that
craving. The study of English as
I she should be spoke will be purely
optional, but student! are advised
not to permit the new regime to
interfere with their chances of
graduation.

scheme, who is at present ten<*M->«r
