“Our Engines worked perfectly” said Commander

The N. C. 4 carried Willard Batteries.
On the long jump, high in the air above the fog, the Wil

miss or a skip.
Ten S. O. R. Willard Batteries, with Threaded Rubber Insulation were

Every unit on the N. C. flying boat had to pass a thorough inspection
and rigid test before it was used. Willard Batteries were not chosen
on REPUTATION alone—they were selected because they earned and

Velie, Mr. Motes secured the agency for
this territory, knowing the car as Mr.
Motes does, and with his past experience
with this car, it is going to be a question
of just how many cars the factory can
ship to Augusta, as Mr. Motes is one of
the hest automobile men in the business,
and is a very progressive young man and
hustler, and it is safe to say that he will
do a large business on this car. Mr.
■Motes states that one car load of these
cars are en route to Augusta, but that
he has placed orders for live carloads to
be shipped as early as possible. If you
are interested in the Velie car call Mr.
Motes at phone 2868^.
Are You Taking Advantage of
the U. S. L. Battery Station’s
Free Service ?
Batteries, like tires, wear out. The
best battery, then, is the one that lasts
longest.
To work well, and wear well, a good
battery requires that the conditions of
operation be normal, and that they should
be cared for regularly, once each week in
summer, and every two weeks in winter.
We offer this service hv experienced bat
tery men who will gladly keep your bat
tery terminals clean and free of corrosion,
test, and re-fill with proper amount of
distilled water. This service is free on
any make of battery.
U S B service station's policy is "the
longer we make your present battery last
the surer we are of selling you a new
one."
Good performance in your car depends
upon its most vital part, "the battery". A
battery's most vital parte are its plates,
th*jy determine its life—and the u S B
machine pasted plates are the big reason
ofr the extra life and great power in
usual batteries.
USB owners are protected by a liberal
15-month guarantee. Why experiment ?
Insist on a U S L when buying your next
battery. A size for every car.

"Of course I’ll go," answered Jimmie.
"And may l have a penny for a lolly -
pop?"
"Oh. I guess an!" answered Mrs. VVib
blewobble, with a laugh that sounded
like popcorn rolling over a tin dishpan.
So ahe gave Jimmie the money for the
radishes and an » xtra penny for himself,
and tin littl* duck o>y started wib
Ming and webbing on ids way to the
store That was why he had the name
"WI'M wnl>M«\" bemuse he wihhbd and
wot I) ed from aid** to side as he walked.
Now Just about this time Undo Wig*
gll.v Uongearx. the rabbit gentleman, was
on his way to the store for Nurse Jane
Fusr.a.v YV tizzy, the muskrat lady house
kceper. She wanted a box of pepper,
and Uncle Wiggily was going to take
aonie of this same pepper for himself.
Oil, no. he wasn't going to oat it. He
war. lust going to spr'nkta some of it
on the big bologna sausage tires of bis
auto. The wheels went faster when he
sprinkled pepper on them.
And as he rode along In his auto Uncle
Wiggily met Jimmie, the b *y duck.
"Where are you going, Jimmie?" asked
Mr. Long ears.
"To tin on** and two cent store to
••••l a bunch of red radishes," answered
the duck boy.
"And I am going to th*» three an four
cent store to get some b uck pepper for
Nurse Jane and myself," went oil the
bunny rabbit gentleman. "Fly up, Jlm
mi»\ and I'll give yon a ride."
U|* Jimmie flew to the seat beside
Uncle Wiggily, and soon they were guso
lenlng over the fields and through the
woods.
First they came to tip: one and two
cent store, where Jimmie was to get the
radishes
"I'll leave you here .and rid** on to the
pepper store," said Unde Wiggily, as
in* slow*d ip* ids auto "And on my
way hack I’ll stop and get you."
"That will b • nice," Jimmie, quacked,
as down he flew, and then Mr. UongetirH
skidded along in ids machine.
It did not t.ikc the little duck b*y long
to buy a bunch of radishes and when lie
had paid for them, and put. them In his
pocket ,he went over to the candy side,
of the store to 100 kabout lollypops.
Tin re were some flavored with corn
meal, some with oats, others with bar
ley and some with wheat, all of which
Jimmie liked very much.
"But here Is on** that tastes like a
i strawberry short cake," said the mon
key doodb* gentleman, who kept the
store.
"I’l Hake that lollypop," said Jimmie,
and he did. "Now I’ll go out and walk
along the road and waif for Urmle Wig
gily to come back ” thought Jimmie to
hlmsslf, and lie wlbbled and wolb’ed on
his way. eating the strawberry short
cake lollypop.
And. all of a sudden Jimmie saw, Just

looked like a hole at all
"I wonder why they are doing that?"
thought Jimmie, n.<, he hid behind a hush
so that Skee and the Pip wouldn’t see
him. And a moment later he found out
why.
"We'll surely catch Undo Wiggily
this time,” said the Plpsiewah, as he
flapped h'.s ears.
“Right you are," growled the Snee

road, uml so covered it up that In- will

He'll run right Into the hole kcr-bunko!

"Dear me!" thought Jimmie Wibb'.c
wr.bb.e, hidden behind the bushes, w,th
the red radishes in bis pocket. "Dear
me! This Is dreadful! How can I let
Undo Wiggily know the danger he is in?
I can't get past the Skcc and the Pip

Then Jimmie stuck the tip of one wing

past the hole that is covered with leaves.
Uncle Wiggily will see the red radishes
on tho road, he’ll know they mean dan
ger. He’ll stop and then I can call to
him about the Pip and the Skee. I’ll
do it!"
With his strong wings Jimmie threw
the radishes far over the heads of the
Pip and Skee, so that the red vegetables
fell into the road past the hidden hole.
Then from where ho nestled under the
bush Jimmi,e watched. He saw Uncle
Wiggily come scooting down the road in
hi sauto. All of a sudden, just before he
was ab >ut to ride into the grass-covered
hole, the ral bit saw the radishes in front
of him.
"Ha!" Jimmie’s red radishes!" cried
Uncle Wiggily. "Here in the road. They
are red, and red means danger! I'll turn
around and go back the other way!"
So he did, and he didn’t fall into tho
hole and the Skee and the Pip didn't
get any souse at all. Then Jimmie ran
back to the store and bought some more
radishes, charging them, and late* - he
met Uncle Wiggily, and told him what
had happened.
