All persons owning property in more than one school district are re quested to call for receipts in each of the several^ school districts in wbich the property is located. This is im portant, as additional cost and pen alty may be attached. All able-bodied mnle citizens be tween the ages of twenty-one (21) being miners, carpenters or factory workers like themselves. It is human nature to think that the other fellow's job is better than your own. It is also a praiseworthy spirit I that makes parents ambitious to have their children occupy a better social and economic position than their own. But when hard times come the white-collar workers are the ones who feel the eTTects first and hardest. HAPPYLANI) If I were asked to name the spot in the United .States where the gen eral industrial and businses depres sion has been felt least, I would say, at a guess, that it is Leonardtown, Maryland.

All the re<l foxes in Ameri<'a originated with a few that were brought from England late in the I700’s and turned loost* on Ix)ng Island to furnish sport for hunt.smtm.

This is the identical tract of laml con- vey«Ml to us by dewl by Bana >)f (’ros.s * These 137 new Ford car* represent one of the largest deliveries ever made to a municipality at one time. 21 radio-equipped Ford scout cars were traded in on this purchase. They had been operated day and night for two years in heavy traffic and all kinds of weather. Their individual records ranged from 78,431 miles to 143,723 miles with a grand cost of the 21 cars was 2.284 cents a mile — less than 2 1/3 cents. This cost included all fuel, oil, tires, repairs and every other item except depreciation and insurance. Of 577 Ford cars in Detroit City service, the 300 in the Police Department traveled a total of 6,591,937 miles during the past fiscal year, at an average cost of 2.9 cents m mile. Many claims have been made on operat* ing costs, but here in the carefully kept motor car records of the City of Detroit is positive proof of Ford economy. In the paragraphs above, it is seen that 21 Ford scout cars averaged less than 2 1/3 cents a mile and 308 Ford cars in all branches of Detroit police work averaged 2.9 cents a mile! Day and night, twenty-four hours a day, these Ford cars are in operation. Few branches of transportation demand such grueling service. The records show that low fuel and oil consumption is but one of the Ford’s many economic. • Ford in manufacturing provide unusual strength, stamina and freedom from replacements and repairs. The individual car buyer as well as the purchasing department of a city or a busi ness cannot afford to ignore the proved economy of the Ford car. FIFTEEN DIFFERENT BODY TYPES «430“‘»640 (F, O. B.
