CHERAW CHRONICLE WE LDTDSAY, Editor Shifter Organization in Chernw not ;|p Bad. The Shifters, wishing us to tell the people of this community that their organization is perfectly harmless, showed the Editor through the secrets of the organization, free. He couldn't have gone through if it had cost anything. We must admit we were disappointed. We have seen newspaper accounts of "cash" and "check" paid in kisses if the "bank" wasn't closed but mere was no mention of these in the ritual of the Shifters of -Cheraw. About the worst thing about the Shifters is their aim: "To get something for nothing."i This of course is not laudible but we are sure it must be I -ts of fun if one can do it in the~e s rtnuous days. The idea of course is to ,-Jo" the candidate (which can't be done if the candidate happens to be like ye editor). Certainly the Shifters Club here was and is a very harmless affair and won't live long enough to bother about reforming so let's let it die in peace. Home Town Commandments. (Published by request of Civic League.) 1. Thou shalt love thy home town above all other towns. Thou shalt be loyal to her people and her institutions. 2. Thou shalt guard thy home town from the hosts of evil that would invade and destroy her soul. Thou shalt keep the good name of thy home town clean and without stain or blemish. 3. Thou shalt elect as thy public servants men of strong character, eager to conserve the best interests of thy people. And when thou hast elected such men thy shalt stand t support and encourage them, for their temptations are many and their burdens heavy. 4. Thou shalt exalt thy public school and honor it all the days of thy life with the best of teachers, buildings and equipments, for the school is the cradle of the future. Thy children are here and they shall be the leaders of tomorrow. Xo training is too good for them and no preparation superfluous. 5. Thou shalt defend the health of thy home town from the death that lurks in marshes, swamps, and heaps of filth. Thou shalt exterminate the fly and mosquito, for they carry typhoid and malaria. The tubercle bacillus shalt thou drive before thee with the sun and fresh air as thy allies. 6. Thou shalt build good roads and keep them good. For by her roads is a town known for good or ill Eternal watchfulness shall be thy motto, that thy roads may not ravel nor thy supervisor forget thee. n mi v, x,, I. 1UUU Mlllll 1VCCJI ,'VUJ IIUI1' town beautiful.

Thou shalt bring them there. Th?.u shalt offer thyself to thy spiritual leader for the service of God and thy community. So shall ye win many battle, together.?F. Eastman, San ford Herald, Fla. o ' Old Knickers and Golf Suit. The home folks were lnystiiied the other day when liarold, who Is attending an up-state university, wrote u letter to his sister,. Elsie, a-king her to dig into his old trunk up in the attic and send him the kuickerbocker Norfolk suit he wore during his junior year lu high school. Remembering with what Joyous abandon liarold I stepped out of short pants into bis lirst suit of loug trousers, mother \ could not figure out why he should j want to baeksli'de. A postscript cleared up the mystery, says the New York Sun. "All the fellows are wearing golt . suits on the campus," Harold wrote, "especially on Saturdays and Sundays. I know dud cuu't afford to slake me to $65 worth of new clothes, so I'll try to bluff the thing through with my i old high school knickers and about $2 yortft of regulation g !f stockings." w -H f/S) | l S B ^NA^cyiCAJ>^tCo^|^ I ^It^r Fix that bell today! and last longer , . ? ..

Asserting that Ford cars are better today than they ever "have been before, the statement adds that fuel consumption is lower; the engine is even more efficient than formerly; improvements in the springs and steering apparatus insure easier riding and driving qualities; a new headlamp lens, which complies with all state laws, improves the road light; and that many other minor betterments have been made. Ford pistons and connecting rods have been re-designed and are matched for weight before assembling into motors. This reduces vibration and gives the motor a quicker pick-up. The new pistons weigh three-quarters of a pound less than those formerly used. A highly polished crank shaft bearing surface also reduces wear and, added to the piston and connecting rod improvements, insures a smoother-running and better balanced motor. The material used in the Ford crankshaft and the care and precision in its manufacture make it a second to none. The new Ford carburetor gives increased acceleration. Though not radically different from the carburetor previously used, the new construction improves the all-round performance of the motor, giving it a quicker pick-up and a greater flexibility of action. The wiring system has been completely re-designed, and while it costs more to install than the old system, is moBt efficient, proof of which is evidenced by the fact that it affords a fire insurance rate as low as the higher 9 priced cars on the market. ( Many other changes have been made: A 16" steering wheel is now standard equipment; Timken roller bearings are used in the front wheel; one-piece pressed steel running-board brackets insure body rigiditv and eliminate vibration and body noises; a dash weather-trough prevents rain from reaching coil terminals or dashwiring; the steering mechanism has also been improved; and the tools supplied to purchasers of Ford cars have also been improved in quality. Another important improvement in the truck chassis is the truck chassis is the adoption of cord tires as standard AouinmAnf nn +VIA fOQf TV Vl P 01 Q CljUl^lUCUk Ull tuc * v?i " The change made sometime ago in the seating arrangement of the Touring car has met with widespread approval. By lowering the seats and altering the seat backs, greater comfort was added. It is pointed out tha retail sales ofa million car^ and trucks yearly, and the consumption of raw and finished products at a cost of approximately one jmillion dollars a day makes it possible to sell Fords at their present low I prices and at the same time to produce a car of exceptionally high quality. f t \ 1 / SERVICE IS OUR AIM Cheraw Motor Sales Co.
