"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.

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.
When Frenz went to the cache to
remove the coupons from some of
the investments, he discovered that
jail had been stolen. 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.

Clever Swindler Caught
(Chester Reporter) ?a
W. B. Watson, alias H. If. 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. He left home because
his mother gave his brother
honey for his pancakes, while he had
plum jam.
The wife of J. B. 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
