He then spoke of the gen erosity of Mr. Bailey, whose gift of $10,000 made possible the erection of the splendid stadium that stands at Johnson Held. The first speaker of the evening was John McSween, presideiit of the Presbyterian college. His mes sage of commendation for the work of the athletes this y^ar was pre ceded by his usual witty and delight ful appetizer. Mr. McSween was fol lowed by W. P. Jacobs. The' clbsing item of the program was a talk by Coach Walter Johnson. He thanked the assembled men for their faithfulness in 4heir work for P. C. during the past year, speaking (with especial warmth of the graduat ing men who have been laboring for four years on the field. After this, the certificates w^re awarded to the vari ous men.

Walter Dorsey, colored^ of Atlanta, Ga., confessing to chicken stealing on a wholesale basis, tells the judge, “I just sprays ’em with chloroform. Then stands back and waits. In about five minutes they flop off the roost and are ready for my sack.” That’s more interesting to many of us than the distance of the farthest star. >> After the guests had left, the wear ers of the “P” were asked to remain for a few minutes ^or the purpose of electing officers for next year.

As tire dealers, we carry your size in different types, for different driving needs, at different prices. And we help you to select the right type for your particular re quirements. When we know that all you need is a very low-price Goodyear, we don't try to stU you an All-Weather. But when we know that you should have either a regular, heavy duty or oversize Goodyear All-Weather, we're frank to say so. Oiir sole object is' to see that you get the tire which will last as long as you need it without costing you more than you need to pay. McDaniel Vulcanizing Works R. P. CHAPMAN, Manager Telephone No. 2 West Main Street The plan is to give farmers export ing wheat, etc., a bonus of one-half the American tariff on all the wheat or other farm products exported. After consulting the departments of agriculture, commerce and the treasury, Mr. Hoover says the plan would enrich the speculators and re duce world prices, since foreign mar kets would have to meet the compe- . tition of subsidized products, j Also, says the president, the" plan would cost the country $200,000,000 ! a year, cause much bankruptcy and it ' would not solve the farm problem. Farmers will cease moaning when -they realize that the -bonus money would be paid not direct to. them but to merchants exporting products. It needs “no ghost come from the grave” to tell farmers how little they would get of that bonus. Wheat gam blers and the middle-men would get it. The farmer in his taxes would have to pay part of it. Mr. Tunney, world heavyweight champion, retired, has been visiting | George Bernard Shaw on a small, sun-! ny island in the Adriatic sea. Tunney is barely thirty. Shaw is seventy-three. And Shaw, who has not retired, has no idea of retiring. The head lasts longer than the fists. Eight hundred delegates to the Red 'Cross convention Called upon Presi dent and Mrs. Hoover, ’and contrib uted “first aid” by refraining from the usual hand-shaking nonsense. Why eight hundred intelligent hu-| man beings should want to squeeze the joints of the hand and tug at the muscles in the arm of a busy man is not easily understood. Handshaking should be abolished, since it means nothing and spreads gerifls. Germany permits all survivors of the Emden to add “Emden” to the rest i of their name. Thus Frederich Garbe is Frederich Garbe-Emden. The Em den destroyed, eighteen steamers and one cruiser before an Australian j cruiser ended its career. ! On the same basis Colonel Lind bergh would call himself Colonel Lindbergh-Atlantic Ocean. j BLOCK “P”FEAST IS INTRODUCED First Gathering of Athletes Is Held Thursday. Hope To Make It a Permanent Function. The first Block “P” banquet in the history of Presbyterian college was held in Judd hall at eight o’clock on last Thursday evening. This is an af fair that has long been planned by Coach Johnson and the leaders of the club. The hope is that it may become a yearly event to honor those who have won distinction for their alma mater. R'ly Hogrefe, football and track star, and president of the Block “P” club, presided as toastmaster. The honorary guests were W. J. Bailey, donor of the Bailey Memorial stadium; W. P. Jacobs, chairman of the recent ly organized Clinton $50,000 drive for Presbyterian college; Johr McSween, president of the college; Coach Wal ter A. Johnson; J. H. Hunter; Prof. H. E. Sturgeon, and Dr. J. B. Ken nedy. Fifty-four letter-men, represent ing outstanding athletes in football, basketball, track, baseball, boxing, and tennis, were present to receive their certificates. The excellent dinner was planned by Mrs. Myrtle Hunter, matron of Presbyterian college. It lived up in I every way to the reputation that s' f jhas long held for events of this kind.

Here, in the price range of the four, |s offered a smooth, powerful, six-cylinder valve-in head motor—which delivers better than 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline—and whose smooth, quiet, velvety operation, with its com plete lack of drum^ng and vibration, is .a revelation—even to those who are accustomed to driving high-priced automobiles. Here are beautiful bodies by Fisher. Here, in all closed models, are fitments by Temstedt . . . rich, deep-tufted upholsteries . . . adjustable driver’s seat . . . and a completely-equipped instrument panel. And throughout the entire chassis are found numerous examples of advanced engineering—such as quiet, non locking 4-wheel brakes. .. ball bearing steering mechanism. . . automatic acceleration pump ... and chromium plating on all bright metal. But no mere recital of features can give you any conception of Chevrolet's value leader ship. So we urge you to come in and see for yourself why over 500,000 people have chosen the new Chevrolet Six since January 1st!
