"The Country Boys Creed"

l believe that the country which God
made is more beautiful than the city
which man made; that life out of doors
and in touch with the earth is the ma
tural life Of men. 1 believe that work
with nature is more inspiring than
work with the most intricate machin-
cry. I believe that the dignity of labor
depends not on what you do, but how
you do it; that opportunity comes to a
and happier on the farm than in the
town; that my success depends not
upon my location, but upon myself;
not upon my dreams. but % what 1
actually do; not upon luck, but upon
pluck. / believe in working when you
work, and in playing when you play.
and in giving and demanding a square
deal in every act of life.

1t has been demonstrated that most
advertising is honest and dependable
and that the relatively small amount
of the other kind can speedily be done
away with. according to Herbert S.
Houston. in the August Worlds Work.
Strangely enough. as magazines and
newspapers have set up their high
standards n denied their columns to
the unreliable advertisers. the latter
have found their only place Of refuge
behind the protecting postage stamp Of
Uncle Sam. Denied access to all repu-
table publications and to bill boards
and street cars and practically every
other form of advertising. the swim
dlers and takers now carry on their
business chiefly through the mails. For
years the Sterling Debenture por
ton was unable to nave it's advertising
published in any medium Of standing;
but all the time it carried on a far
reaching propaganda by mail and sold
millions of dollars Of worthless stock.

Jr., eight miles in his automobile to

cutter Winona and went to the cruiser
Chester to bid their father good-by.
The Chester was scheduled to sail

touch of pathos was added to

Lind and his sons. when Mrs. Pauline
Mezzisen, of Bay st. Louis, sought to
see her son George, a yeoman in the

MeZzisen. when she learned that none

Famous Artist Comments
on Beauty Lines Of Hudson

A man, who was author and artist
eombined. wrote story. 1t is ap-
-pearing In a prominent publication. In
drawing an Illustration for his story
he wanted to introduce really high
Grade. high-class motor car. The ar
tist was George Gibbs. /. w. Dill.
local distributor of the Hudson car,
told this yesterday to a caller.
An artist said Mr.. Dill, hates
anything that is ungraceful, or in
artistic. So Mr.. Gibbs evidently was
hard to please in selecting the motor
car that should serve as his model.
Finally he found car that just suited
his ideas of beauty Of design and
gracefulness in line. And the picture
shows the hero and the heroine beside
a new Hudson Six 40. Doubtless many
have seen the illustration and rec
ognized the handsome lines of the
Hudson Six.
The new stream line design offers
least resistance to wind and air. II
has no angles and recesses where dust
and oil can gather. Its gently curving
lines carry the arch principle of con-
struction into the motor car body.
All this appealed to the Hudson de-
signers when they built the new car.
And to have so eminent an artist as
Mr.. George Gibbs endorse their judg-
fnent by. his portrayal of the Hudson
in an important ILLUSTRATION is in
tensely gratifying.
