Three or four cars of strawberries
have been shipped from Brownsville to

retarded the ripening during the past

Richard Lyle has volunteered for

that young Thomas did not know the

BABIES
CAMPAIGN
MAY % TO MAY "a INCLUSIVE

Perfect Baby Contest and Clinic
for Babies UP to and Including
Four Years to be Held at the
Public Library Three Days.

A clinic will be held at Carnegie Lii
brary Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day by Drs. Pruitt and Chapman.
Why we are having Baby Week
The percentage of deaths in the first
year of infant life, especially of bottle
fed babies, from preventable causes is
appalling to anyone who thinks. We
believe that if the mothers of the
country are Taught how to take the
proper care of their babies this NOR
tality can be greatly reduced,
That is what our Baby Week is for
1t is a better babies campaign and we
are trying to show by demonstrations,
lectures and a Better Babies con-
test what can be done for our babies,
both to prevent sickness and to show
how to care for them properly
whether they are we'll or sick.
The baby clinic is not alone for the
purpose of choosing the most perfect
baby in the county, but the doctors
who have it in charge are to find out
why your baby is not perfect and tell
you what to do for it so that if your
baby's score is not perfect this year it
may be next year.
Everyone must help us or our eff
forts will not be successful. We want
every father and mother in Haywood
county to enter their babies. We are
sure that fathers and mothers and ba-
bies will be benefited. Remember
that we are working for better fare,
better air, better care for babies and
we need you to help US.

''The Quality Goes Clear
Though bort Copyright

The bort Motor Car Company has
copyrighted the phrase 'The Quality
Goes Clear Through" to describe that
feature in which it is claimed all Dorts
excel. The selection of this wording
came about through bort owners eX
pressing approval of their cars.
Quality clear through every part of
the chassis and body, the company
states, is the basis on which every
car in their line is built.
bort prices range from $685. for
the touring car and the three-pass-
enger roadsters to $1,065 for the
sedan, brought about through large
production factory and improved
manufacturing methods.
In discussing the quality feature of
the bort, Ralph bort, advertising
manager, said: We have put quality
into the chassis in many places where
only a motor car engineer could find
it, 1t has been our experience, how
ever, that this has paid, for you will
seldom find a bort owner who does
not firmly believe he has secured more
for his money than he could obtain
in any other car for the same amount,
or even Slightly more money.
'This widespread conviction about
the bort has given it mouth-to-
mouth advertising from owner to
owner to prospective buyer that no
amount of printers ink could ever
have bought for us. The advertising
writer's imagination played no part
in our adoption of the quality goes
clear through to describe our cars.
bort owners wrote this testimonial
themselves for themselves - and
by themselves, and in doing so they
have paid us rare compliment.
Adherence to the actual facts
about our cars, both in the written
word and pictured illustration, are in
sisted upon by our company, and
about our cars is severely
discouraged. Sometimes I think we
even err on the side of not telling the
whole story. But perhaps even this
is good advertising after all, for there
is lot of satisfaction in finding the
car you have purchased is even better
than you thought"

Jackson Ues First American
ght-Cylinder Motor

Although the eight-cylinder V
form motor was first applied to auto
mobile use eleven years ago, the first
distinctly American tyno of eight
cylinder motor to be used is the
Ferro-Jackson engine in the 1917
Eight" according to H. A. Matthews,
treasurer of the Jackson Automobile
Company.
Most persons think that the eight
cylinder. motor is only about three
years old. and speaking from the
standpoint of wide use in pleasure
cars in this country they are right.
And it is interesting to know that,
until the advent of the Ferro-Jack-
son motor. this year, all eight cylinder
engines followed a distinctly European
style of design
This is natural, for the manufac-
turer of the first eight-cylinder motor
was q French firm which, in 1906,
after the aeroplane had demonstrated
the possibilities of the Eight" built
eight-cylinder motors of the type that
has since come into wide use in Am
erica. Six cars each of the four, six
and eight-cylinder types were built
and sent out on the road for 10000
miles of experimental work. Com
parsons and tests were made at the
conclusion of the experiments, by
world-famed engineers, and their de-
cision was unanimously in favor of
the eight-cylinder models because of
their immeasurably greater smooth
ness and freedom from vibration.
Since then this French manufacturer
has built eight cylinder models ex-
clusively. Various engineers have de-
clared that the eight-cylinder type
engine will be the ultimate choice of
all the automobile industry outside of
the motor truck field Jackson Eight
