PRIM [MN
PASSES OWlf.
After short, but spirited cam
paign, Wheeler county and her
citizenry are to be congratulated
for the manner the primary and
campaign was neld. Everything
apparently was pitched upon a
high plain'-no mud-slinging was
heard, coming from either fact
ion, and all went off quietly with
out any hard feelings. This f et
is to be be appreciated, as in
some counties it is said that this
state of affair does not prevail’
however, results obtained
through fowl play and unpleas
ant means are not appreciated
and should not be, as where the
voters are fair and considerate
of others.
In Wheeler county, it can be
truthfully said, elections are
held legally, each candidate feel
assured that they get the votes
Cast f;r them. Every one given
n even break, and if not elected,
take the results manfully.
George Washington.
In a month replete with not
able birthdays and anniversar
ies, February 22 stand out in the
minds of Americans as the date
of greatest significance, the
birthday of George ashington.
As a national holiday it is per
haps second only to the Fourth
of July, while as a matter f fact,
it is probably an anniversary of
even higher importance, because
without a* Washingtbn the strug
gling co'onies might not have
made the Declaration of Inde
pendence effectitve.
Although much that is legen
dary has been associated with the
life of Washington, due princi
pally to tbezealof Parson Weems,
his early biographer, the main
facts of his inestimable service
stands unimpeached, and his
fame takes on added luster with
the years.
Leading a poorly trained, ill
equipp'd and sometimes muti
nous army, Washington kept
aflame the fires of patroism when
a less determined and less cap
able commander might have
given up in despair. While aid
from France finally turned the
scale in favor of the colonies,
without Washington’s genius
and heroic presistence the Con
z tiuental Army would have oeen
^rushed into submission before
that aid arrived.
It is well that we should honor
his memory on his birthday and
on all other days, but nothing
we may say or do can add to or
subtract from the priceless herit
age epitomized in the deathless
name of Washington.

the time for purchase of 1936
automobile tags without penalty
until March. The Governor said
this,the second would be the last
extension he will grant, emphasi
zing the penalty will be invoked
after March 1.

lots of poor people have not been
able to earn any money to buy
tags and lots of other folks who
have money can’t get to Atlanta
or to iheir postoffices to send
money orders for their tags,”
the Governor said. “The poor
folks need the $1 60 penalty
more than the state does

^A/HEN a car equipped with a
’ ’ honeycomb radiator shows
signs of over-heating, it is frequent-'
ly due to rust and other foreign
matter in the radiator. Much of this
can usually be cleaned out by re
moving the upper and lower hose
connections and forcing water un
der pressure through the radiator
in a direction opposite to the nat
ural flow, by means of a hose applied
to the bottom opening. At the same
time, to loosen the rust, a piece of
board about 6 inches wide and 12
inches long should be held against
the face of the radiator core and
struck with light hammer blows,
shifting the board around to differ
ent positions. The board will pre-,
vent damage to the core. ®
