some suggestions for those who
haven’t time to draw up their own:
“Resolved: To eat less heartily,
to spend less money, to wear more
blue clothes. To be thriftier and
more frugal in all my dealings. No'1
to make any more New Year’s reso
lutions. And last, but not least, re-
solved not to keep these.”

YOUR LAST AND FINAL NOTICE
For several months now, you have had an opportunity to pay
your Mt. Pleasant school taxes and to save interest, penalty and court
costs.
You have been furnished with the statutory notice of your de-
linquent taxes.
Your school board has reduced expenses 20 per cent.
Not a two cent stamp has the school board charged up to you;
no letter hears, no telephone calls.
Your school board has gone to the end of their rope. We have
repeatedly appealed to you to pay your school taxes in every wa;
we knew how.
On January 2nd, 1933, counsel for the school board has been
authorized to file suit on all delinquent taxes unless paid by De-
cember 31st, 1932.
Many have paid, and you should. These suits are our las'
weapon that can be used to keep the schools open.

Expenses of congressional funerals strain,
are disclosed in the new report of the
clerk of the House. Contrary to cus-
tom. the report was not ordered print-
ed this year, but the bulky accounts
are available to inspection.
The most costly funeral of the year
was that for the late Speaker Nicho-
las Longworth. Train fares cost $6,-
422.20. A special train from Aiken, S. I
C., where he died, to Cincinnati where
he was buried cost $2,797.74. Another
$3,624.46 was spent transporting a .
delegation of Congressmen and Sen-1
ators to the ceremonies at Cincinnati {
Critics of the burial expenses direct!
their attention chiefly to the escort- \
ing delegations of Senators and Con
gressmen. There is little objection to
reasonable burial expenses, especially
since a wave of extravagant tastes
caused the House sometime ago to se1-
a limit of $400 on caskets.

DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF THE
Acme Bond
FOR AUTOMOBILE TIRES?
It isn’t an ordinary guarantee covering only de-
fects in workmanship and material, but a WRITTEN
guarantee against anything that might happen to
your tires, with the exception of mis-alignment of
wheels and running flat.
In other words, the Acme Bond is an insurance
against all road hazards, adjustments being made
any time enough damage is done to the tire to neces-
sitate the use of a boot.
