HIGHWAY APPEAL MADE
More Money Needed in Fight

The highway petitions and the tax books have been examined closely by Judge W. N. Martin, J. E. Taylor and myself, and the pros lack at least 200 names of having majority in land owners and 14,000 acres in having majority in acreage.
 On these grounds we filed an ap- peal from the County Court to the Circuit Court Wednesday and the case will come up on April q. But we must have at least $500 more to go toward collecting more data and hiring lawyer. Our lawyer so far is only retained.
 So all farmers are requested to meet at some quiet place, all up and down the line on Friday night, April 4, in the various towns and raise as much money as they can. Help some. every body, if you want to win the fight.
 After your meetings have your secretaries report immediately( not later than April S), by letter to Joe Lewis of Hatfield and he will call on you for the money when the time comes.
 Bear in mind everybody, we are keeping the names of all who donate and where every penny goes to, and our figures are ready for inspection at any and all times. Keeping things straight is what creates confidence and this is what we are trying to do.
 JOE LEWIS, Chairman. Adv.

.INSTALLS HIGH ART:
IN SALESROOM

DETROIT, MICH, May "A girl
designer has just produced the finest
and most discussed salesroom decor
ating that has ever been attempted
on automobile row in Detroit
Thoughts OF spring cleaning and
decorating came simultaneously with
the first buds on the trees Instead
Of sending for the painter and the
carpenter as in previous years. Jack
Thompson, Maxwell distributor, com
municated with Detroit School OF
Design. A contest was inaugurated
and plans for interior decoration were
solicited from the advanced pupils of
the academy many or whom had at
tanned distinction and letters of merit
at the San Francisco Exposition and
foreign art centers.
Miss Gertrude Bulls was the sue
cessfuI student and the result OF her
creative genius has in space OF nine
days attracted over 100000 people TO
the window OF the ssIesroo rnexhibit.
Il am firm believer in the psy-
chology OF decoration" said Miss Bull
LIS. Il combined the interpretive fac
uitles OF a woman artist with the
imaginary fancies OF one anxious TO
purchase motor car.
Il am not one OF those who would
separate the world OF art from all
things commercial. And neither
would sacrifice art for COM
merce. hut / belieVe"the touch OF prac-
teal temperament and the elevating
influence OF art will go a long way to
improve the commercial code in all
lines OF merchandising.
In any scheme or decoration there
must be a message 10 deliver. The
masculine instinct is to look for
power and the things that are sturdy.
The woman seeks beauty and the deli
cate appeal. The man prospect if
convinced will get his satisfaction
In the garage or on the open highway.
The woman auto buyer will be i'm
pressed just as indeibly with the
atmosphere OF the salesroom as with
the refreshing lines of the car itself"
