ECONOMY *n operation is a distinctive fea
ture of the Chevrolet. By owners’
own checked records, this car averages 25 miles
per gallon of gasoline—and more than 500 miles
on a gallon of oil.
The Chevrolet is built as light as a strong car can
be made. It carries no unnecessary weight, thus
reducing gasoline, tire and repair expense.
The Chevrolet valve-in-head motor develops all
the power in the fuel—and wastes none. Every
bit is used in driving the car.
This light, strong, economical and low priced
automobile is just what you want for getting
about quickly on the farm, for trips to town and
to the neighbors and for the benefit and enjoy
ment of the whole family. It will make life
brighter and broader for you all.

Winslow, March 15—Two
unmasked men robbed the
Bank of Winslow this morning
about 11 o’clock of between
$2,000 and $2,500.
Cashier George H. Winn and
his son, Omer, were the only
persons in the bank when the
robbers entered. After taking
the money the robbers forced
Winslow and his son to accom
pany them until they reached
their horses, about 100 yards
away.
When they entered the bank
they covered the two officials
with their guns and compelled
them to give up all the money
in the cashier’s till. They work
ed so quickly that no suspicion
was aroused and made their
get-away before the alarm
could be given.
They took the road south af
ter releasing the bank officials.
One of the men was past mid
dle age while the other was
several years younger.

CHURCH NOTICE
By reqeust I will preach at
the Baptist church in Newark
on Friday night before the
fifth Sunday in this month
which will be March 29. My
subject will be: “The Bap
tist position on the state or
condition of Infants.”
My purpose is to present the
truth on the subject as I un
derstand it, without abusing
anyone who may differ from
me on the subject for—
When men’s theories
meet and tangle,
They should reason
But not wrangle;
God reasons in his Holy Book
(Isa. I, 18-XLI, 21.)
For that reason we should look
True reason shines
As light of life
Cool reason—free
From spite and strife.
All are invited to come out.

FIRST PUBLIC SCHOOL
In the suburbs of Boston
stands a monument which
marks the site of the first pub
lic school ever established. The
inscription, given below shows
how recent was the beginning
of a system which has since
spread throughout the world:
“Town meeting square. Near
mis sue me nrsr sexxiers ox
Dorchester, who came in the
ship Maryland John in January
1630, erected the first meeting
house. Here they held the first
town meeting and established
the first free school, in Amer
ica by a vote of the town in
1639. It became the first free
public school supported by a
direct tax upon the citizens.

ARKANSAS FARMERS WILL DO ALL
THEY CAN TO PRODUCE FOOD
Increased production of all
food and feed and forage crops
in Aransas is to be stressed
this season by all the agencies
that are actively co-operating
with the farmer
increased acreage, better
seed, better methods of culti
vation, and greater diversity
are being emphasized. The
necessity is apparent to all,
and the response that is being
received from all sections of
the state is most gratifying.
The farmer proposes to live
up to his reputation as the ef
iec|jBM. second line of defense
upon which the nation must
rely as much as those who
fight in the trenches.
There will be fewer idle
acres this season than usual—
there should be none. One dif
ficulty that must be overcome,
and that cannot be ignored,
is that of labor. Unles the au
thorities at work on the mat
ter succeed in securing defer
red classificaion for farm la
bor, there will be a shortage
that will be seriously felt. Sol
diers are needed, but the sol
diers must be fed or they can
not fight.
