''SEMPER F|DELIS'
MOTTO OF Marine
ALWAYS0bSERvED

The motto Of the United States Ma
rine Corps is "Semper Ffdelis." The
officers and men live up to the words
on the corps colors. The Rt. Rev.
Charles B. Colmore, bishop Of Porto
Rico and Haiti, who is now in this
country, said this Of the work of our
marines in Haiti:
Americans hardly can visualize the
squalor, suffering and chaos that
existed in Haiti before its occupancy
by Admiral Caperton, nor realize the
extent of the regenerating labors Of
the United States Marines during the
month they had been on duty there.
'"The marines literally have taught
the Haitians how to live decently. Be
fore their coming, sanitation, save in
thee rudest and most unsatisfactory
forms, was unknown; fevers and cpl
denies were as plentiful as revolu-
tons; a press gang was in vogue and
the country was the victim of con-
tinuous uprisings engineered by poll
teal scoundrels, each Of whom raw
aged the customs money drawer as
each, in turn, came into short-lived
power.
'"Then entry Of the United States
marines ended this sordid story. They
structors Of the NaGon and as eff
cient guardians of the Monroe doc
trine and peacemakers Of the Ameri-
cas-. Too little is known of it and Of
the men who are doing it. They de-
serve the praise and the gratitude Of
the Nation"
The United States marine is a man
of all seasons and all services,
fighter, a soldier and sailor in one
and all for the colors. The marines
are always the first in battle when we
have troubles on shores not our own
The marines are every inch fighters
Marines have lost their lives at the
hands of the men Of the country
which they are now saving from it
self. They know how to make peace
as we'll as they how to make war.
They deserve more from their coun-
try than they get from it.

PASSED CONFEDERATE RIrT,

Stockholm, March 13.-The police
are looking for a man, believed to be
a Swedish-American who bought a
box Of cigars in a Stockholm shop

to accept even lower rate OF ex-

ness to make this sacrifice became
apparent when the tobacconist dis
covered that the bill had been issued
by the Confederate States Of Ameri-
ca"
Considerable Confederate money
has been brought into Sweden lately.
It consists mostly of ten-dollar bills,

THE Chevrolet production centres

THE chief manufacturing 3 plants,
are located at Flint, with certain sub
sidiary plants at Bay City and Toledo,
Here the various parts OF motor,
transmission and axies are hianufac-
tured in enormous thousand foot build
ings, Representing q capital invest.
ment of many millions, of dollars. The
machinery in these immense plants is
new, and thorough labor-saving de
vices are installed according to the
latest up-to-date methods of scientific
efficiency. ~
The extensive assembling plants
throughout the continent. Here the
manufactured pars Of the Chevrolet
models are received and assembled
for distribution in the surrounding ter
ritories. These plants cover con-
siderable number CT square miles in
area and represent many million dol
lars in equipment. The utmost care
is used hero in the enamelling of
bodies, the fitting of GLASSES, and the
assembling and testing of the finished
cars The advantage of these outly-
ing assembling plants is that, they not
only insure the manufacturer service
in the locality near to the consumer
but also guarantee an efficiency test
of the cars to meet the local condition.
THE production capacity of these
establishments covers many
acres of floor space; and many addi-
tional acres are now in course of con.
struotiun. This step is to meet the !

be mulched or racked, mulching with
