missionary for the Laramie Presby-

cinity the greater part of the time dur
ing the past six weeks, has lone some
very efficient work among the farming

trict he was accompanied by Rev. Mr..
Clough, and in the Saratoga section of

pastor of this church and some of the
time by Mrs. Jarrard, by which means
the pastor and wife were able to visit
Ii country folks in quite Il large ter
r1tory. Two new Sunday schools were
organized, Ii at Cedar Creek and the
other On Spring Creek, and arrange

were completed.
y large addition to the Home De-
partment and quite an increase in the
Cradle Roll of the Home Sunday school
is one of the good results of this visi-
tation. This work demonstrates the
need of a conveyance which should be
owned by the local church, in order
that the people of this end of the val

and preaching Mt the various outsta-
lions.

NASH.SX MODELS NOW
DEMANDED AT FACTORY
Orders Being Made From Catalogs

Imagine buying a sl,295 or 1850
Automobiles entirely new model
from catalog without so much as
seeing n sample car! Those who have
spent weeks deliberatinE over various
makes before placing their order
would insist that 1t can't be done. Yet
so confident are motor buyers all
orer the country as to the kind OF a
car that viii be produced by the Nash
Motors company that a sizable num-
her of orders were received at the
Nash factory from enthusiastic ad-
n1irers who had, never seen Nash
car. Eight orders were booked in
Memphis before a. Nash Six arrived
In Tennessee. Four cars were sold IN
Battle Creek before n single person
there had seen a Nash. AS long ago
as last August, six weeks before the
new car was officially announced. two
Nash Six Sedans were sold TO indl-
viduals in Jacksonville, Fla, and Co
lumbia, S. c.. sight unseen" Twen-
ty-three dealers in one state bought
Nash Skies without seeirg them. This
is testimony Of the eagerness with
which the Nash Six has been wei
coined by motorists and the trade.
Virtually all Nash dealers are now
supplied with samples of the new
Nash Six in both the touring car and
Sedan, so that il is not necessary for
anyone to order without first seeing
Cne of the new cars. A Chicago man
was so anxious to make sure that he
would get one of the Nash sedans be-
fore winter that he made several
trips to the factory at Kenosha to see
what progress was being made on his
car All this interest in a car that had
not yet seen service in the hands OF
owners is a remarkable tribute to the
ability of the Nash organization tr
