ster Groves a suburb OF ST. Louis. about
eight months ago was looking for a used
car that he could remodel in a down
town garage. In the junk pile he found
a 1912 Moon touring car which he made
into a racer and the first and second
speeds had been removed which meant
that the car would have to start on
high. Very few cars will start on high.
Tackaberry decided TO try II and
found that It started on high just as
readily as on first speed. although II
ran on three cylinders. and the wheels
were badly out OF line He bought II
almost for q song" The car was torn
down to the last bolt and several parts
were replaced the grease and dirt
washed off the engine. a commercial

that the gas throttle was only half open
then. The car Is still without its first

There is a widespread misunderstood.

but by cities and counties. In Ardmore
the entire list of eligibles will be num-
bered serially from l up.
In due time announcement will be

when the drawing is to take place. A

then go over the list and select the
names opposite those numbers. They

ing dependents and support it with af.

can only be made to district boards
The board for this district has not yet
been announced.
Don't Know Your Number.
To make il perfectly clear suppose
that one of the numbers drawn is 245

Announcement Of the date will be made

In the meantime do not encourage
