(Essay written by Maizie Kemp. Prize winner in 4th grade Edgefield School.) The cigarette is made of ground up tobacco, rum and put in a thin paper. The cigarette is made to suit the smoker. A cigarette weakens the lungs, the heart, also the brain. The cigarette makes you nervous. It is an unclean habit. Look on the fingers of a man or boy who smokes cigarettes, their fingers are coated with nicotine. Some boys have no time to lose in growing by smoking cigarettes. They will ruin the health. A man that smokes cigarettes is more easy to catch consumption, flu and other diseases. Smokers spend so much money on cigarettes. It is right to spend money for pleasure that does not hurt you. But it is not right to spend your money on things that are harmful. A man wants a job at a certain place, and the place has a sign, "no smoking." The people will tell that man he will have to stop smoking or lose the job. Cigarettes were plentiful in the army. Cigarettes are dangerous in the mouth or teeth of a boy. I say don't smoke them. Wait until you are twen ty-one years old to smoke, then they won't hurt you as much. Cigarettes are an awful thing. The Cigarette Habit. (Milton Swearingen's essay. Prize winner in fifth grade.) A cigarette is pulverized tobacco, wrapped in tissue paper and stuck to gether. A match is struck to start the tobacco to burning-then the boy puts this into his mouth and draws the smoke and inhales it and blows it out through his nose. Of course this smoke is very in jurious to the lungs, because of the deadly poison called nicotine, which causes the lungs to be impaired and soon cannot throw off the germs. This soon develops into tuberculosis which means death. When the boy takes his first cigar ette he is beginning a very bad habit that will injure his health, ruin his nerves and cloud his brain, so he will never be a deep scholar or broad thinker. A cigarette fiend hardly ever makes his grade in one year for he has lost all his class pride. A boy that begins to smoke cigar ettes, or to use tobacco in any form, is making a dwarf of himself and will never be a strong man. physically or mentally. A cigarette smoker can not stand diseases for his constitu tion is broken. The cigarette is an unclean habit, and it stains the teeth just as it does the hands. The clothes of a smoker smell like tobacco. The cigarette habit is a time-was ter and expensive, too. The business man will not employ a smoker for he knows the .smoker will waste time. He is not energetic , careful nor thoughtful. It seems to be a growing habit for a great many soldiers who did not smoke before to come out of the army smoking. They saw the other boys smoking. After taking the first one they wanted more because it was stimulating. But they would have been better without the stimulant. The cigarette effects the nerves and causes the people to be nevous wrecks. If a boy will not yield to the temp tation of smoking until he is twenty one years of age, he will not likely become a smoker, he will have learn ed the evil of it. It would be a good thing for the country if laws were made to stop the manufacture of the cigarette. Farm work is late on account of the continued rains, and if farmers are to plant on time they will need increased horse-power. We are of fering an attractive lot of mules just received.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR Insist on Genuine Ford Parts Imitation "Ford" parts are being sold by many mail order houses, down-town stores and garages to unsuspecting Ford owners as "Ford" parts. But they are not Genuine Ford parts made by the Ford Motor Company. They vare made by concerns who have no connection whatsoever with the Ford Motor Company. These imitation parts are not even made from the same grade of steel, or under the same formulas used by the Ford Company. They are counterfeit parts. Tests have shown them to break when the genuine Ford parts didn't even bend, and they generally are from thirty-five to one hundred per cent lower in quality. The Authorized Ford Dealer is your protection. As such, we handle nothing but the Genuine Ford parts. They are made from the famous Ford Vanadium Steel and each part-according to its use-is heat-treated ir? the way that will give it the longest wearing qualities.
