Batteries? Only One for Me

If you saw batteries every day as do you'd
say the same, and your choice-like mine
would be Willard every time.
You'd know-as do-that every Willard
Battery is built to give full battery value for
every penny that's paid for it-that every
piece of insulation, every plate, every jar,
is known to be right before it leaves the
factory.
We keep complete stock of Willard Bat
teries and can supply new one fully charged
and ready for use on your car. If you need
battery repairs, we'll furnish you with
rental battery, so that your car can be kept
constantly in service.

LAUREL CIVIC CENTER
ADOPTS A SLOGAN

Civic Center for Enlightment and
Enjoyment" was the slogan adopted
by the Laurel Community center
Thursday evening when they held
a slogan contest at the school A
great many slogans were suggested
but Judges Rev. a. Zubowicz, Prin.
+. O. Schoeppel and Mrs. Nina Doc
little held that the motto as adopted
covered the purpose and aim Of the
centers work better than the many
others.
Rev. John L. Imhof delivered an
address on South Bend as a City
of Homes" He spoke of the hous-
ing situation in the city and the
many ways in which the families
Of the city are able to help in solving
the problem which is being dis
cussed at present relative 10 the
housing of the many families 10
come to the city 1t was suggested
that apartment houses and flats
would probably be a good solution
of the problem since they can be
operated a a smaller expense 10 the
individual family than can a sep
arate home.

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK

THE MODEL WIFE.

THE difficulty Of being a model wife,
said a woman the other day, is that
In order to please your husband and
live up to his expectations, a wife must
always be Il this years model. Last
years model wife doesn't go with him,
1T would be easy enough to be a
model wife II a man continued to be-
satisfied with the model that he picked
out, and II he would settle on the par
tlcular line of charms and virtues that
ne desired In his wife and stick to spec
ifications, But he doesn't.
He gets tired Of the very qualities
that caused him TO select the particular
woman he did for a wife, Just as he
gets tired of the shape, size and color
OF his old automobile, and wants to
trade them in for something that's
fresh and shiny with red paint and
get all the new-fangled alleged i'm
provements.
That's why the job of being a wifo
In these days Is about The most hazard

Washlnaton's Rules.

When Washington was but 10 years
of age he had gathered in a manu-
scrtpt book the most important rules
of etiquette which govern in good So
ciety, These he wrote out with care
and adopted as the rules which should
govern his life, only a few of which
can be given here:
Use no reproachful language against
anyone"
Speak not Of dolcful things in time
of mirth or at the table"
SHOW yourself not glad at the mis-
fortune or another, though he were
your enemy"
Labor to keep alive in your breast
that little spark of celestial fire called
conscience"
Strive not with your superiors, in
argument, but always submit your
judgment to others with modcstv."
Read no letter, books or papers in
company. But when there Is a neces.
stty for 1t you must ask leave"
Associate yourself with men of good
quality, II you esteem YOUR own repu-
tation; for II is better to be alone than
In bad company" w, W,

INFLUENCING THE PUBLIC

This nation is noted for its specialized methods in business
and professions. Service is the watchword, Under private
control the people have protested against inefficiency, and failure
Of public service corporations to live up to public obligation has
brought forth the strongest censure,
Under government control we have had an inadequate serv-
ice without a parallel in private control, Furthermore, the
people have been obliged to pay largely increased rates of fare
and tolls.
Recently the telephone companies were taken over by the
government. Strangely enough this act meets the approval Of
the management, Mr., T. N. Vail in a letter to Postmaster
General Bureson says the public utilities should not be returned
TO owners without some correction of the existing deficiencies
in regulation and control, hence it would seem highly desirable
for the country and for the proprietors that time should be given
for such a solution"
The people are open-minded on the subject of government
ownership. They are chiefly interested in efficient and eco
nonical service. 1t makes very little difference to the average
patron whom he pays or patronizes, The increased cost of tee.
phone tolls that accompanied the transfer to the government is
likely to prejudice the public mind unless there is a correspond,
ing improvement in the service, which, SO far as Memphis is
concerned, is as good as a capable local organization can give
under adverse circumstances.
AS a general proposition the man who spent 81 for a mes
sage the day before the new rates went into effect, and 50 for
a message TO the same place for the same length Of time the
day after they went into effect, has an argument that cannot be
outweighed by the principle OF government control.
