A GOOD TRADES DAY.
Once more the efforts of the
May Commercial club won a hearty
response from the people of the
surrounding country and a big
crowd was here to take in the op-
portunities and attractions of our
Trades Day last. Monday. The ad
vertisod list of property to be sold
at Public Auction was smaller than
usual owing to the busy season, but
everything sold well as there was
lots of bidders. The horse races
and ball games drew big crowds
Hnd furnished some really fine en-
tertainment. May’s Trades Days
are always a success and a special
effort will be marie for a big Pub-
lic Sale feature next time, Monday,
Sept. 11.

ever, while lie wus having Ids etchings
printed liy the old-fashioned process
called “tu I lie douce,” the printer said
“Why don't you sell these etchings?”
"They’re not good enough," replied
Webb.
“You'ro crazy,” said tlie printer;
“you wouldn't mind selling Ibem
would you? Don’t you need the
money ?”
“Yes, God knows 1 need It, but I
never thought of selling these things,'
rejoined Webb.
The old man gave Webb a note t-
a dealer in the Hue de Itlvoll wlm took

The erroneous liien that earing pen

In Fortunate Albania They Knew Noth-
ing of Such Thing* a* Calen-
dar* or Clock*.
Calendars anil clocks are lincurie* In
Alhuuia. The untutored peasantry
know only three periods of time—
morning, noon mid night, and two sea
sons of the year, winter and summer.
Days and dates are Sanskrit to them.
Nor have they any conception of dls
fauces. When a traveler asks an Al-
banian tlie distance of one point from
another, be never answers In miles or
kilometers, but "It Is half a day, It is
two days, It Is u week.” When an Al-
banian makes an appointment, he Is
considered to have kept it If he comes
within two or three hours of the time
set.
With ttie absence of calendars, the
people naturally do not know their
correct ages especially those In the
country districts. In this respect the
women of Albania enjoy an advantage
over their sisters in foreign countries
who guard so Jealously the secret of
their years. Often the age of an Al-
banian woman Is unknown even to
herself.
Pevineri Ages of Man.
At Five Nnhod.v loves rne. I'm go-
ing out In the garden and eat worms.
At Fifteen—She does tint love me
I shall hang myself in her father's
gat age.
At I weuty— The world does not un-
derstand me Life is a failure.
At Thirty-five—Why didn’t 1 marry
Mabel Instead of Helen. Mabel always
understood me.
At Forty-Five—Now, If I were Presi-
dent of the United States I would—
At Sixty —This isn’t such a had old
world after all.
At Seventy—I expect to see a great
Improvement in conditions in the next
20 or .10 years.
At Kighty—Johnny, tell your mother
that her-grandmu ami I have gone to
the cabaret.—New York Sun.
Arabs Use Opium Bait.
A novel way of catching Osh by
Arabs was described by Lieutenant
Commander A. S. Klvvcll Sutton In de-
scribing the work of the British gun-
boats on the river Tigris above Bagdad.
The natives, there, he said, laid a
ground halt of lumps of dough con-
taining a small quantity of opium. The
tisli swallowed that and, becoming stu-
petled, llouted about with their white
bellies uppermost. Arabs went In pur-
suit of them on blown-out sheepskins
which they maneuvered with their feet
while the hands were free to hold the
landing net.
To Make Scientific Investigations.
Mountaiu miners in the Andes do
heavy labor In a rarefied atmosphere
thui makes the shgmesi e tori m
tigtung to newcomers, says the Sci
ntittc American, and Canadian sci
mists are in Pern to discover
whether this immunity of the miners
is due to changes In the blond or
to other functions. The scientists will
yield their own blood, both at sen
level and at three-miles altitude, and
i In- samples will go to our universities
fur analysis.
France Encourages Aviation
France recognizes the value of air
travel and Its importance to the future
Slit1 lias budgeted 15-1,878.000 francs
for civilian aviation for the year 1022
Naturally, Paris Is the great center of
French commercial aviation, the Le
ttnurget airdrome In the suhurhs taking
mi the appearance of a busy railway
terminal. Airplanes to and from Lon-
don (live departures dally) and Brus-

Her Orbit.
“.John the conk lias gone."
“Itoes she expect to return?"
“I don't know, hut she's the rotating
kind. She may pass through a dozen
families and get hack to us In a yesr.'
Ministerial Sarcasm.
When Sir Ulohard McBride was
prime minister of British Columbia he
found himself on the same platform
as his bitterest political opponent. His
opponent spoke first and flayed Sir
Richard alive. Then Sir Richard's
turn came. He spoke for ,10 minutes,
never alluding to his opponent In the
slightest way. until at the elose. when
he turned to him and said : "Hello,
Bill! You here!"

May Commercial Club
The New
Pawnshop
By AUSTIN FLINT
Copy i lghi, 1*22, Western Newspaper Union.
“That snide Cohnbaum,” said Larry
the Biuod to his pul Skinner, "makes
me sick. Fifty berries f’r that di’mond
bracelet what’s worth twelve hundred
don’t seem to make a hit wit’ me.
“Tli' fence Is getting rich out of our
honest labor, Skinner. He’s opened
another pawnshop downtown. He’s
rolling in dough. Heard of It, Skin-
ner?"
"Sure I heard of it," answered Skin-
ner moodily, "but old Cohnbaum ain't
telliir where that new joint of his is
located. Says lie's doin’ a honest busi-
ness there. Cohnbaum couldn’t run
straight if he was held in tape-meas-
ures."
"Anyway," said Larry, “1 got an Idea,
Skinner. Cohntiauin ain’t played fair
with us, and it’d he a charity to relieve
him of some of his superfluous kale.
Ya know Ellen Summers, what rooms
above his shop?"
"Sure,” answered Skinner "Why?”
"Well, she's a friend of mine. She
tolo rue th’ old guy’s too mean to re-
pair her floor, art’ she c’n see straight
down into the shop through a hole In
it. Are you wise?”
"Hold on. ho." answered Skinner
"Spose we do git in and lighten tlie
old guy of some of that jack of his,
what’re we going to do w'it’ it?”
".lack? He don’t keep no jack in that
safe of his," answ-ered Larry. "It's
chock-full of di’mond earrings and em-
erald sunbursts. And there’s a new
fence | know name of Willoughby.
He'll pay better prices than Cohn-
haum. Now here's the idea. It don’t
take two of us to do the trick. I’ll bust
open Cohnbaum s safe tonight from El-
leu’s room, and hand you the stuff, and
you beat It down to Willoughby’s. I'll
tip him off there’s some goods coming/
and I'll give you his address."
The plan was quickly made. At two
o’clock in the morning Larry was to
break open tin* safe In Colinbaum’s
pawnshop and hand the goods to Skin
tier, who would he waiting outside to
make a quick getaway. The two
friends had worked long together, and
could trust each other; and Skinner
knew that, If necessary, Larry would
not hesitate to cover his flight by put-
ting up a vigorous tight with any cops
who happened to be Inconveniently
prowling around.
Willoughby's place was not far
away. It was one of tlictse fence's
pawnshops where, under cover of n
' legitimate busines, stolen goods were
received and stored away until the
time came for disposing of them, tin
thief receiving perhaps one-third of tin
value of the articles,
j Armed with this knowledge, Sklnnei
shivered that night in the vicinity <>
Cohnhaum’s place. He knew the Iny o
the land well. Old Cohnbaum livei
| alone, he was deaf, and there were twi
doors between the pawnshop and hb
bedroom. There was not much like!
hood that Cohnbaum would hear tin
blowing open of Ids safe.
For Larry the Blood was an expert
"puffer." He did not blow’ off tlie door
of a safe like amnteurs In his line. A
very small charge of soup was poured
through a drilled hole Into the combi
nation box. When this was touched
oiT the report was no louder than a tils
tol shot, and, by muffling the safe, Lar
ry could he reasonably sure that the
sound would not lie heard outside—r!
least, only to the listening ears of Skin-
ner.
The combination appnrntus thus
shattered, a pair of pliers was nil that
was required to manipulate the clutch-
es and draw hack the levers.
Skinner, listening and shivering, at
last heard the faint, innffled sound
which indicated that Cohnhaum’s safe
had yielded to his friend’s artistry
After a cautious glance about him. he
stepped quickly up to the door.
Larry’s face appeared at the window
shove,
"'8 all right' Beat it to Willough-
by’s." he hissed, dropping several small
packages, one of which clinked ns It
slipped through Skinner's hands and
lilt the sidewalk.
But repeated ringing at Willoughby’s
hell failed to elicit any response. The
fence hnd perhaps gone to bed Instead
of waiting for Skinner's arrival. No
matter! Skinner paced the streets, and
•arly next morning was at Willoughby's
diop.
Willoughby, a neat, dapper young
man, received the packages and crit-
ically examined them.
“Where’d you get these, Skinner?"
ne asked.
“Uptown.” answered Skinner, lacon-
rally. “Swell apartment house, if
you got to know.”
Willoughby took down the telephone
receiver. The number conveyed no
meaning to Skinner. But the next mo-
ment lie was heating It into the street.
At the corner lie caromed violently In-
in Larry tlie Blood.
“Thought you’d hooked It I" growled
Larry. ‘How much did he come across
with?"
Suddenly he rend his friend's look.
He seized him by the shoulders.
“You mutt!” he roared. "Spill It,
now! Spill It quick I"
“He called up Cohnbaum on < the
phone. He called him ’uncle.’ It's
Cohnbaum’s new joint. Let's bent It
out of bore," walled Skinner, tearfully.
A Waste of Time.
"Y'ou didn't stay long in that office."
“No," said the book agent. “I dis-
covered a hag full of golf clubs In one
corner. There’s no use trying to sell
a historical work to u man who thinks
he’s making history when he lowers
his golf score."—Birmingham Age-Her-

BASEBALL NEWS
Luther Hill Carried OFF Trades
Day Prizes.
To the Luther Hill team goes the
glory of winning two lively games
of baseball on Trades Day (last
Monday) and also carrying home
the premiums offered by the May
Commercial Club to the victors in
the contests. Three teams particip
ated. Gyp Valley, Sand Creek and
Luther Hill. In the toss-up Gyp
Valley and Luther Hill were elected
to play the first game, which the
latter won handily.
In the second game the victors
played the Sand Creek nine and
beat them to a standstill.
It is worthy of comment that
both gameR were played without
any squabbling or cavilling. If
the umpires happened to render
a decision that might be wrong, no
body kicked; they all played ball,
and proved they were gentlemen at
all stages of the game. Luther
Hill woti by outplaying the other
fellows, and the prizes wenl where
they belonged. We're all proud of
the boys in all three teams and hope
to tee them all play here again be-
fore the season ends.
Supply 8—May 7.
On Sunday afternoon Cant. Makos-
ke picked up a ball team by taking
four of the youngsters from the
second nine and went to Supply for
a game. And the boys all say they
won but the umpire gave the game
to Supply score 8 to 7. In the
last half of the ninth inning the
May team lead 7 to 5; and this
with the famous “Red” Vaughn
pitching for Supply, but the um-

May Seconds 15—Sand Creek 11.
On Saturday afternoon the Sand
Creek boys came in and played the
May second team a right lively
game which resulted in a win for
the May boys, 15 to 11. The May
second nine has scored a big per-
centage of wins in their games this
year, and if they can hold their or-
ganization, will have a right snappy
team next season. Sand Creek
has been unfortunate in not being
able to maintain a regular line up
for two game3 in succession, but
they have some pretty good players
at that.
Sesamum.
Sesamum is a name given to a

oil obtained from them keeps well and
