Sow early Amber Cane for an early

A great deal of interest was
aroused in Chesterfield by the report
that a delegation from the Blease
faction would go to Washington to
protest against the alleged favoritism
shown by our governor to the men,
bers of the Manning faction in the
selection of officers and also in the
selection Of the successful candidates
in the officers reserve corps.
There semes to be some discrep-
ancy in the license charges of the
new State Highway Commission. A
Ford is charged $3.50 for the one
half year, and a Hudson Super-Six
only $3.50, while bort, a larger
car than a Ford, is charged $3.50.
The moral would seem to be: Buy d
bort. The license fees are based, it
seems on the measurement of the
cylinders and not the factory claims
for horsepower. Many Of the Ches-
lcrfield car owners already have their
tags, which are deep orange, with
black lettering.
Just received several barrels of
fresh pack herring. This is the
cheapest food we know Of.

done by Mr.. Bennett, who is in jail

Big Spring Hotel. Some of the in
fluential citizens of Chesterfield are
Interesting themselves in Mr.. Ben
nett's case, believing that he is be-
ing prosecuted. They will probably
succeed in getting him out on bond.
That good MELROSE Flour has
