As we see it a wonderful pro-
position is now facing us in that
the state has taken over the
F. F. F. Highway and will take
the D. R. C. if we can get it in
proper shape.
Upj>ennost in the mind of
every home owner is the de-
sire for beauty.
In selecting shades for the
windows of the home, the owner
will find the satisfaction of
his desires in Western Luxor.
Luxor is a cloth that commands
beautifully tinted 1>.\ hand in
many colors—several colors for
any home.
Its beauty finds the greatest ex-
pression in the soft, diffused
light that filters through Luxor’s
unfilled fabric—a subdued, soft,
mellow glow that is restful to
the eye and imparts an atmos-
phere of restfulness and cheer-
ful quiet to every corner of the
room.
And Luxor beauty endures.
The sun cannot fade its beauti-
ful tints—water cannot spot it
and it successfully withstands
the rough treatment that is
usually accorded with window
shades.
The fullest amount of window
shade satisfaction is assured in
shades that are made from Luxor
cloth and Standard Rollers.

If the three-year soft coal
miners wage scale contact, ap-
proved at Jacksonville, Florida,
for the central competitive field,
really becomes binding, it ought
to bring peace in the coal in-
dustry as well as peace of
mind to the consumer. During
the war and ever since that
hectic period,we have been in
suspense from year to year,
never knowing when the coal
miners would throw up the
sponge and leave us flat. The old
plan in the central competitive
field was a one-year contract. The
new scheme is to make the con-
tract binding for three years. It
ought to give stability to the coal
to give some stability to the coal
industry and also have the ef-
fect of settling prices. Other
coal mining states will undoubted-
ly follow the lead of the central
states miners and operators in
signing three-year contracts. Why
shouldn’t coal mining be a peace-
ful occupation?

Along with the other “pleas-
ant” duties of the city council
they are soon going to have to
look well to a parking ground
for the cars that come to Padu-
cah. This is the meeting that
can not be neglected much longer.
As it is now one can hardly get
up and down the streets, especi-
ally on Saturdays and special
occassions, for the cars that are
blocking the passages. Not only
this, but it is becoming rather
dangerous. Someone is liable to
happen to a serious accident
most any time. Now is the
time to look after such a place.
If the city continues to grow
as it has been doing it will only
be a matter of a few years until
a parking ground would cost
three or four times as much as
it does now. Why not take op-
portunity by forelock?
Service-Satisfaction
These are the two requisites to
steady advancement in business in this
or any other community, and these two
things are kept steadily in view at this
store.
To keep our stock at all times com-
plete with the best obtainable merchan-
dise.
To sell at a price which neither rob§,
ourselves or our customer.
To remember that the customer
is always right.
To wait on you courteously and
promptly.
To sell you what you want>-not what
we happen to have or what we think is
just about as good.
These are the things that make up
service, and if they are consistently lived
up to, your satisfaction is assured. We
believe that if you will come to us for
anything in our line you will get both
Service and Satisfaction. In fact we
guarantee tjiat you will, and we will
appreciate your business wholehearted-
ly.

There is an astonishing de-
mand this winter for around-the-
world trips. The establishment
of a regular world-belting line
by the Dollar Steamship Com-
pany Is only one phase of the
situation. Five trans-Atlantic
liners have been withdrawn from
service between New York and
European ports and placed at
the service of American tourists
for world voyages. Every ship
is booked full immediately, and
the demand continues. Why this
sudden craze for emulating Ma-
gellan? Americans have long been
known as great travelers, but
they never before showed such’
■i desire as this for long, expen-
sive trips of all kinds. It is clear
that all at once there is an unu-
sual combination of money and
leisure. There is probably no
more mone than there has been
in previous years, but there is
more leisure. That may be ex-
plained by the retirement from
business, lately, of an unpre-
cedented number of American
business men. Their retirement
is said to be mainly due to taxa-
tion. With such heavy taxes
imposed on business success as
represented in the federal sur-
tax rates they say there is no
incentive to work for: money
any more. So they drop busi-
ness cares and start out for a
good time. This is fine in some
ways; but it doesn’t look very
good for the business future of
the country to have so_ many
able business men turn from
creating wealth at • home to
scattering it abroad.
