Missionary Rally Arranged For
Mt. Zion Church.

Last Sunday the 4th Of Macrh,
was, as Baptists know, the day sci
apart by the Southern Baptist
convention as missionary day. On
that day the members of Mt. Zion
church decided to try to raise TWEEN
ty.tive dollars for missions within
the next FIVE weeks. After stirring
speech by the superintendent, the
Sunday school raised thirteen dol.
lars of this amount. 1t was then de-
cided that the effort of the church
would he postponed till the 4th
Sunday in April when Rev. p. B.
Lanham. the pastor will bring with
him some visiting speaker or
speakers. There will be All all-day
service with dinner on the grounds,
and the church will hold regular
missionary rally. 1t is hoped that
there will be large attendance
from the surrounding country, and
that the day, in addition TO it's re-
ligious services, may be social re.
union, especially for the scattered
membership of the church. Mr..
Editor, will not you and Mrs. Minis
accept an invitation to be present
with us on that day?
Mr.. w. J. Gaines, the superin-
tendent of our Sunday school, has
accepted an invitation from Rev.
P. B. Lauham to address the con-
gregation of Gilgal church, the 2nd
Sunday in April on the subject of
missions.
Miss Mamie Cheatham with a
party of young friends from Tren-
ton attended the school play at Mo-
Meta last week.
On last Friday night Miss Mary
Gaines gave box party at her
school. Judging by the ready sale
of the boxes and the price paid for
some of them, one would think that
the war depression had not reached
this corner. A gratifying sum was
raised which will be used for
school improvements.

 There is a Studebaker service sta ton in every city and town and in practically every village in the United States. If by any chance a tourist should decide to seek accommodations in a place where there was no such dealer, he would be no worse off than if he had merely toured ahead into un- known country as all other are doing. However, if there is any doubt. Stude baker owners are advised to secure from the nearest Studebaker branch manager of the territory through which they are to pass full information re- garding service stations; and, person. ally I shall be glad to assist in every way possible those who go from here or through here.

STUDEBAKERS SOLVED
 ONE TOURING .PROBLEM
Owners Driving to California Secure Hotel Accommodations Along the Route Through Studebaker
 Service Stations

The vast majority of motorists who drive to the Pacific coast this year to visit the expositions will personally conduct their own tours, said John K. Huff manager of the Arizona Motor company, who handles the Stakeholder automobile in discussing the approach ing touring season Not many will be able to enjoy the luxury of paying a lump sum and allowing reputable tourist agency to handle all details and arrange, all schedules, as is done by H. w. Dunning X Co. of Boston which this summer will use ten Studebaker seven passenger six-cylinder touring cars at a time to transport it's parties from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Yet for thou sands of others the tour has been sim plified Feeling that those who drive their own machines and make their own schedules should be aided in every way possible, the Studebaker Corpora tion is offering owners of it's cars the most unusual cooperation.
 Surrounded by Blue Books, road maps and automobile magazines with the latest news of highway conditions, the man planning the wonderful trip to California studies out the route he
 
 is a Studebaker owner-that Studeba- ker Service Stations are practically everywhere throughout the length and breadth of the nation, similar to the one I maintain here, he has no uneasi- ness in regard to the care his automo- bile will receive if it should need ad- justment at any time during the tour. So he is not worried about that; what does cause him some moments of deep thought however, is the consideration of hotel accommodations even in the larger towns. Thousands of machines in a month or two will be California bound along every main artery of trav- el. They are so liable to be punched in places that hotels will be damned to capacity. It is at this point that Stakeholder steps in to help touring owners of Stakeholder machines
