Would you buy a car if you knew that you

Would you sell your car if you knew that
Ivou were paving that nrice for the gasoline to

B tick cars are 1 unning m an average of from
18 to 20 miles per gallon. Figure out the cos’
and uvi ig2o miles per gallon tor 1000 miles at
23 cents per gallon. Then figure the cost of
driving the same distance with the car that
inly goes 12 miles per gallon and see it you
are not paying the equivalent of over 38c per
gallon. Then consider the ear that only goes
-O ' > miles per gallon and see if you are not

Economy Means Efficiency
.1 motor to be so economical must be built
tight. The motor that gives so high a de
gree of efficiency will also save in lubricat

such an extent that your saving in actual

a ill be stupendous; saying nothing about
the added pleasure of driving a motor car \
th it is built to*give the highest degree of \

CORINTH.
Well, the month of March has
come and gone and there has
been many things transpired,
and what has our record been.
Let us all remember that the
Lord has a record of our life,
whether good or bad, we can’t
change it now. So let us all be
careful how we live during the
month of April. Let us all see
if we can’t make a better reck
ord during this month than we
have ever done before. We can
if we will, so we are left with
out an excuse. So lam going
to try to imorove on what I do
and say. Will all the corres
pondents? .
Well, some have said that I
didn’t write .like some of the oth
er correspondents, it may be
that way but my God people
what ought our minds to be
placed on seeing the condition
that we are in just now, looking
anytime for our young men to
have to leave our homes and go
away and not knowink when
’’ey leave that we will ever see
hem any more. What ought
e to be trying to teach them
hil they are with us seein
the war is on and every day
there is somebody killed and
gone into eternity prepared or
unprepared. It stirs my mind
till I can’t help but say some
thing on this line of religeion,
and if it is not right to do this
then I am doing wrong.
I had the pleasure of going

ally invited to come and help
us that day but every time that
you can come you sure will be
welcome. We have been look
ing for brother John Webb voer
to sing some for us, and guess
he will come soon.
Well, llil Billey how are you
getting along these - times ?
Hope vou are getting along fine
Well, why can’t all the corres
pondents ali meet some time
this spring and have a good old
time. We ought to have a meet
ing once or twice or year and

subject to lead our pieces. I
think that would be a good idea
so you all study about this.

FORD CAR
In the beginning was the Ford car and the Ford
was right. Right in design and right in construc
tion—a motor car to satisfactorily meet all the
demands of the people for service and pleasure
thc car for the multitudes. With that keen far
sightedness that reads it® call of future years,
Henry Ford foresaw that the motor car was the
coming utility end designed and budded accord
ingly; a motor car so simple in mechanical con
struction that anybody and everybody could suc
cessfully operate it; so strong in construction
that it would traverse all sorts of road conditions
so flexible that it would meet with satisfactory
service the many and various demands of all lili
es of human activity. To be in very fact the Uni
versal car. Fcrd cars have been, are now, and
v/iil continue to be constructed of the highest
quality of Vanadium steel—specifically Ford
heat-treated—the Ford Chassis being beyond all
question the highest quality motor car in the
world. If procf is asked, the answer is made by
more than 1/150,000 satisfied Ford users thru
evt the wav’d.
