"How best can I trade in my present car for a new car?" WHEN you are ready to trade in your present car for a new ear, you naturally want full value for your present car. But most of all you want full new car value. \ . It will therefore pay you to consider varying trade-in allowance offers in the light of these basic facts: IYour present car has only one fundamental basis of value: i.e., what the dealer who accepts it in trade can get for it in the used car market 2 Your present car has seemingly different values because competitive dealers are bidding to sell you a new car. 3 The largest allowance offered is not necessarily the best deal for you. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not. 4 An excessive allowance may mean that you are paying an excessive price for the new car in comparison with its real value. 5 First judge the merits of the new car in comparison with its price, including all delivery and finance charges. Then weigh any difference in allowance offered on your present car. 6 Remember that you are making a purchase?not a safe. You are buy ing a new car and simply using your present car as a credit against the new car's purchase price. WE publish this message, believing that the public is entitled to have all the facts.

OAKLAND Nflm< J BU1CK I LASALLB { CADILLAC n 7 ! | ' '& 1 ??? I ( ()!,. LIN1>BKHC;H Spent Wednesday in Spartanburg | Thousands See Hi in. _ ' to Charles Lindbergh added yerfferday another commonwealth to that long lint of capitulations of states and nations on either side of the Atlantic, says the Spartanburg Herald of Thursday. Within scarcely more than an hour the" homage thaf South Carolina had bestowed from afar upon the blond, to us led-headed heroic youth became a dose, personal and deep-seated thing as "Lindy" flew high above his admirers' heads, maneuvering in magnificent fashion the "Spirit of St. Louis," as he rode among his admirers?shy, and tired and immensely appealing in his boyishness? and as he spftke to a great throng at Duncan Hark in behalf of commercial aeronautics. It was not anything that he said or did; for aside from his brilliant handling of the plane that has carried him across sea and land for 26,000 or 27,000 miles his appearance was not striking. No dashing figure, he; no effort apparently to further captivate a crowd already captivated; merely, a simple acknowledgment of the greeting given him. . * And this sincere simplicity the utter unassumingness of the man, coupled with all the crowd knew of him?of that marvelous dash out over the stormy Atlantic to the waiting millions of France, of his -character without prudishness, his standards, held but not displayed? that made his watchers have a fueling of admiration and awe mingled with sympathy and friendliness. Thus it was yesterday that Spartanburg and the great throng of visitors to which the aerial gateway to South Carolina was a host felt that tingling down the spine, that lump in the throat, that mingling of joy and sorrow which a great figur brings. Did Not Trust Banks Paducah, Ky., Oct. 15.-?Fearing that he might lose his savings, thru bank robbery some time, Julius Frenz of Hfckman. buried $8,0<>u in bonds and nearly a thousand dollars in gold beneath his home several months age.

Several hundred | dollars in utilities stocks could be replaced, Mrs. Frenz said, but the bonds in the lot had not been regisj tered. Frenz said he had placed the papers in a metal box, and had used a can in which he buried the gold. Over the cache he had placed scrap tin, iron and old lumber to hide any trace ot their burial. Officers, in their investigation of the premisses, found the iron box today in some weeds back of the residence, pried open and thrown aside. Negro Commits Suicide Coroner W. J.

Osborne," who has been arrested in Marion at the instigation of Rock Hill authorities, who want htm for giving several bogus cheeks, is also charged with giving the Clark Furniture Company, of Chester, a worthless cheek. Wutson or Osborne, seems to hare victimized several Rock 11)11 concerns, and will be taken to that city first to have charges against him taken up. Th^ Rock Hill Herald of yesterday gave the following account of how Watson, or Osborne, worked his game: "Osborne, or Watson, has been traced by officers from city to city in an effort to effect his arrest but despite descriptions of him und of his alleged methods of check flashing, police had been unable to lay hands upon him. C. L. Williams, Bass Furniture company ami Smith-Marshall Furniture company each claim to have been victimized by the man in almost precisely the same manner. Clark Furniture Company, of Chester; W. H. Fallaw Furniture Company, of Batesburg; stores in York; Clover, Statesville, Reidsville and several other North Carolina cities complained of his activities. Osborne, or Watson, is alleged to have posed as a prosperous farmer who wished to buy furniture. After selecting articles he would present a check which he claimed was given by his mother with the promise to return for his purchase in about an hour. Pocketing the remainder of the money after the "purchase" had beep, deducted the complaining merchants said he would disappear leaving them with a bogus check. The amount in almost every instance was $30.00. A 20-year-old boy, alleged to have employed lads from 10 to 15 to steal for him at $1 per theft, was sought by the police of Cleveland, Tenn., on Tuesday. His activities were discovered when a 10-year-old lad told the police that he was paid to steal. Teddy Franks, 15, Returned to his Chicago home on Tuesday after being gone a week.

Daniel, a painter of Birmingham, Alabama, saw hei; husbaod shot down on the streets of that city Tuesday night, by a negro who attempted to hold him up. Weevil In Old Standing Boll Clemson College, Oct. 17.?Any farmer who will take time to go out in his cotton field and examine unopened bolls, especially bolls that have deteriorated from one cause or another, and carefully pick apart the gnarled and spoiled lint in the locks will be surprised at the number of boll weevils that he finds hidden there in all stages?from the youngest larvae to the full grown weevils. A few minutes spent in doing this will convince anyone that he is offering a great shelter to this pest by permitting the stalks to remain in the field. Not only will practically all these younger stages develop to become full grown weevils, but they make up the young weevil army that will best be able to spend* the extremes of a long winter. If any farmer desires to do the boll weevil a good turn, this is his opportunity. He could show the pest no greated courtesy than to leave the stalks bearing these old | worthless,bolls on the field throughout the winter.?J. O. Pepper, Extension Entomologist.
