pany, recently wrote the local dlstri-
buffers that more than 1900 bort cars
we're sold during the New York show and
nearly as many ut the Chicago show.

pretty Thoroughly convinced before they
buy But II didn't take them long to see
that they wanted the Dort."
The bort Is best described as an 'ex-
elusive light car" 1t has sturdiness, de-
pendability. comfort and reflnements such
as no other light car possesses. The
bort has all the advantages OF the light
car with the good points OF the big car

New York may have q great motor

REIN declares his Cadillac exhibit will

Methodist Church Notes
BY THE PASTOR

The offering of the Sunday school
Sunday morning for the retired min
listers fund was eight dollars.
The young lady teachers OF the
Sabbath school gave the school q
musical treat. Among the numbers
were a vocal solo by Miss Margaret
Taylor; a quartet composed Of the
Misses Olive Chaplin, Esther Coudray
Dorothy Carr and Margaret Taylor,
with Miss Cunningham at the organ.
and quintet with Miss Edna Gour-
ley and Miss Cunningham added and
Miss Coudray at the organ.
BY the generous contributions of
members and friends of the school
and especially the liberality Of our
business firms. the committee were
able to fill 200 generous boxes with
choice candy for distribution to the
children. And If any children were
overlooked and did not receive box
there are few boxes left which will
be given out gladly to any such AS
will call for them.
The mercy and help department of
the Epworth league with Miss Doro-
thy Carr as president, WAS able to
gladden. few hearts by distributing
gifts to needy children and to donate
the foundation for good chicken
dinner where otherwise q chicken
dinner might have been only dream.
Some Of this was made possible by
the generosity Of one Of our big
hearted ranchmen and his good wife
who prefer not to be known as the
donors.
The Christmas sacred concert rem
dered by the choir was a treat, in
spite of the prevalence Of grip and
bad colds among the singers. The
solo by Mrs. Carr and another by DR..
Englund were the features of the pro-
gram, though the anthems brought
out some fine work as special parts
and some choice music rs 3 whole.
Total offering for the day amounted
to about twenty dollars for the relief
