Performance and Reliability
Decide for an Essex

And by skill in design, and care in conStruc-

It is because of these qualities that the Essex

You Can Test
1t Yourself

Performance limitations have naturally
grouped cars into classes. Certain cars may be
depended upon for unlimited service. They
know no frontiers of distance. They are de-
pendable and require practically no attention.
But such cars are large and costly, costly to
buy and to operate.
An exception is the Essex. Its performance
qualities can be demonstrated at any time.
Take a ride with us to see how it can be
driven just as easily, as fast and with as much
certainty of endurance as any high-priced car
with which you care to compare it.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1919-12-04

What owners say of car is pretty good
indication of its worth.
And when you add to that the enthusiastic
endorsements of thousands of motor-wise in
dividualS the proof should be conclusive.
But the Essex has still another way of show
ing its value.

OUR WOMEN TEACHERS

An article in The Outlook for Sep
TENDER "a entitled, "The Laborer and
Her Hire" should be read by every
one at all interested in our schools.
The article points out that the splen-
did work which our boys, with little
military discipline, did in France, a
work which astonished the whole
world, was largely due to training
which these boys received in our
schools, mostly from women teachers.
That their teachers were women had
no tendency, as the Germans thought,
TO make them sissies, but did make
them brave, patriotic, pure and ODE
dient Behind every hero OF the
Argonne forest stood an American
courage broke the German spirit. had
been taught and trained by women"
But the chief point of the article
relates TO the pay of these teachers.
There are 622,32l public school
teachers in the United States. Think
of this vast army, nine-tenths of
them women, waging an incessant
war against ignorance and vice and
doing it for a mere pittance. The
average pay of these teachers is
$543 annually That is starvation
wages in these times.
Alma has increased the salary of
its forty teachers two per cent recent
ly. But the cost of living has increased
hundred per cent and more in the
last four years. Would it be any
thing more than simple justice to
make the pay of these selfsacrifcing
and most useful servants of the pub
lie proportionately large? They
will probably never 20 on strike be-

line that will be able to hold up its
end of the game.
In view of the veterans that have

CEDAREDGE MAN DIES AS
RESULT OF GUNSHOT WOUND

The community was shocked and
saddened on Friday to learn that Ed
James Doyle. who was injured by the
accidental discharge of a shotgun ten
days before, had passed away.
At the time of the accident. Mr.
Doyle was not considered to be in a
serious condition, although he was
very weak from loss of blood. Up to
a short time before the end. he was
believed to be in good condition. and
there was apparently no sign of blood
poisoning or heart failure. Death was
probably due to shock.
He leaves to mourn his loss his wife
and many friends. Funeral services
were held at the Cedaredge Catholic
church Saturday morning, Rev. n.

A message was received Friday an

ia, had passed away at the home of
his son, E. C. Tripp, Los Angeles, Cal
ifornia, early Friday morning, at the
age of rs years. Death was due to
general failing in health owing to ad-

Sidney R. Tripp was native of New

With his wife. one son and one daugh-

years ago and his good wife preceded

ALFALFA MEAL MILL
MAN COMING HERE

E. F. R. Roberts, representing the
Roberts Forage, Hay and Grain Grind
ers will be in Delta in few days to
talk over the matter of establishing an
alfalfa meal mill at Delta
There are several of these grinders
in operation at this time, and several
large mills and the industry is not one
that must be developed as to its fin
ished product. 1t is said that a ready
sale awaits every pound that can be
diverted into meal.
Another strong feature offered to
mill of this kind at Delta is the fact
that the sugar factory furnishes by
product in their lower grade of syrup
that is not desired by an alfalfa meal
mill. Corn, barley and other products
are used in these mills.
The establishment of a mill here
would undoubtedly prove very profita-
BILE and beneficial.

By reference to the advertisements
In our columns, our readers will note
that we are putting on a buy-at-home

We are all familiar with the proven
bal Arkansas traveller. who didn't re-
pair the leaky roof when II rained

pair II when the sun shone because he
didn't need to. A good many mer-
chants are like that about advertising,
but the live wire merchant knows
that 1t pays to advertise through rain
or shine and never misses an oppor-
tunity TO keep his name before the
