Now is the time to back up the
“Better School Bill.” The peo
ple in our county must get inter
ested and prepare the country
boys and girls for a better life.
Time is valuable with your boys
and girls and we need to increase
the facilities and opportunities
for our children. We need bet
ter schools, we need free school
books and we need a nine months
term to complete a grade for the
smart boy or girl. You know, or
ought to know, that your child
can not complete a term of five
to seven months. Let’s back the
Better School Bill, for we are
sorely in need of a decided im
provement for the betterment of
our county. You are responsible
for your children, your boy, your
girl, and their education is the
foundation of the state. Your
boy of today is a man of tomor
row. Will he be ready to face
situations in a suitable? way
Remember, -you are responsible.
Tt isn’t the money you may lav
ish on them for Ford autos they
need, but for an education. There
is in that old and homely proverb,
“There’s no knowing the luck of
a lousy calf” a great deal more of
truth than we think. Many of
the greatest and most brilliant
men in our country arose from
the most obscure and squalid sur
roundings. A single instance is
that of Abe Lincoln, the man of
the common people. Let us then
treat with respect and fairness
the children with whom it is our
lot to be thrown. Even if your
boy does seem stupid and dull,
give him a chance and you may
be surprised as the man who own
ed the poor half dead calf. It isn’t
altogether money that educates a
child. Whittier loved the plain,
honest people and wrote “Bless
ings on you little man, barefoot
boy with cheeks of tan,” and who
of us can discern under the torn
hat of Lincoln, the Webster or
the Edison of the next genera
tion? The heart of the average
boy is as sensitive as the mecha
nism of the most delicate chrono
meter. Praise him and give him
a chance and he is instantly re

sponsive with elation and smiles.
Frown upon him or speak harshly
to him and he is in the depths of
grief and humiliation. He feels
humiliated when he enters a
school room and finds other boys
his age in a higher grade and
simply, too, because ‘“Daddy”
kept him home plowing while the
other boys were in school. We
can play upon this sensitive heart
as upon an organ, and it will be
as instantly responsive.
Therefore, let us work and pre
pare for the coming man, make
things easier for him and better
our county and state. Remember
that we are dealing with human
souls which our attitude may
irrevocably help or hinder. Let
us treat the coming man justly
and fairly, so that the soul in him
may have opportunity for growth
in favorable soil. < R
Remember parents, it is a
great responsibility to have the
care and direction of the man of
tomorrow. P

Impossible To Get So Much
Motor Car Value For The Money
v E FIND this is the attitude of many
w people who come into our salesroom—
before they know arnything about the
Maxwell. ;
Not until the Maxwell is shown and demon
strated to them—until they sit in it and examine
the finish—until they ride in it—or perhaps not
until they drive it themselves, do they realize what
a tremendous value is offered in the Maxwell car.
It is not unusual that Maxwell value should
not be known to everyone, because it is uncom
mon to find such a car for a good margin more
than the Maxwell price.
The Maxwell stands absolutely alone in a highly
competitive field, for the amount of value it offers
for the price. .
Appearance—The lines og the Maxwell are
decidedly attractive. There_is no break in the
contour from the radiator to the back of the car.
The fenders are gracefully shaped. All metal
parts are enameled or nickel-plated. The uphol
stery is deep and well-finished. From any angle
itis a far that the owner can be proud of.

Motor—The engine in the Maxwell car is not
equalled by any other four-cylinder engine of its
size. And we know of larger and motre expensive
cars that have less able power plants. The Max
well engine carries its load through mud and sand
or over the steepest grades without a falter.
Quality—The materials in the Maxwell car
are the best that can’be bought and the workman
ship that turns them into finished parts is no less
excellent. It is only the large production of the
Maxwell factories that makes it possible to put
such quality of materials and workmanship into
a car selling at the Maxwell price. :
Economy—With its other attractive features,
the Maxwell is a most economical car to own.
Owners get 22 to 25 miles per gallon of gasoline
and 8,000 to 12,000 miles per set of tires. And
the car is so durably built that repair expense is
negligible. » .
We are sure you wamt a car such as we have
described the Maxwell to be. If you “:2 give us
a few minutes of your time we are suré we can
convince you that the Maxwell Car is an excep
tional value. Come in today. i
