One of the real needs of our

Last November in the meeting
of the Executive Committee it
was voted that all who attend the
1920 State Sunday School Con

there would be no registration
fee charged, but the Convention
would be open to all Sunday
School workers who wished to
attend.—Springfield Herald.
Wealth is not the real prize of

The Savannah Morning News
has been making some revela

awakening the advocates of law

Morning News to the utmost in

II THE UNIVERSAL CAR Ijj I
The Ford Sedan with electric starting and lighting system and
} I demountable rims with 3 tires all around, for every day in the *
year has no equal as a family car. Just as popular on the farm as it
| is in the city. In fact, it fits the family demands in every vocation of
} I life. Large, roomy seats, finely upholstered, plate glass windows make I
if it an open car in pleasant weather, -while in rainy and inclement !
j j weather it becomes a closed car, dust-proof and rain-proof. It is
j j ideal for social functions, the theatre, or parties; carrying the children
I | to school, or for touring. It is not only comfortable, but really cozy, ;
and above all, economical in operation and
maintenance, and has all the Ford merits cf
j | strength and durability. We solicit your order I
for one. Come in and see it. ' r \- I
