for the Oldsmobile Eight that far out strips the factory's restricted wartime production. The model, which is known as (The Loyalty Eight) was brought out not long after the war in Europe broke out and it seems to me the factory officials very wisely fore saw that automobile buying would very shortly be placed on an alto gether new basis. At any rate, this car was designed with the idea of com bining everything that could possibly be required in the way of power and comfort with light weight and rock bottom economy of operation and up keep.
 From the beginning this car was a success-so much so that absolutely no changes other than slight refine ments have been made in it in the four years it has been on the market.
 "To anyone who has any dealings with the makers of the Oldsmobile it is not at all remarkable that their leading model should be so well favored throughout the country. Their entire policy is founded on a slogan that everyone connected with the organiza tion is firmly expected to keep in mind first, last and all the time. That is: The name Oldsmobile stands for giv- ing the public its moneys worth" -

 These girls have left behind French verbs to upturn French herbs. They prefer traction to fractions. Dainty frills do not match the lure of red blooded thrills in mastering a power ful motor. So they have donned khaki and sombrero and manned an Avery tractor and a road making machine. The picture was snapped at the recent national tractor demonstration at Sa- lima, Kansas.

Pledge cards Were distributed among
the audience. When collected it was
found that the pledges amount to s166

amount which is desired, as it was
stated at the meeting that it is felt
the people of this section should give
at least $500 per month. However.
many of those present at the meet
ing carried cards away with them and
will return them filled out and signed
after they give the subject due con-
sideration. 1t is planned to put the
matter squarely before everybody in

do so. Later the names of all con-
tributors will he published.

pected that any persons coming into
the community for the purpose Of SO
liciting funds far any patriotic pnr-
pose will be reqnffEd fas submit their
proposition to the executive commit
tee Of the league. This committee will
then decide upon the amount which
should justly and proportionately go to
this cause from Stevcnspille and Vi
entity, will directly contribute from
the leagues reserve funds and thus
prevent any authorized public solieita
tlon. Local patriotic organizations in
