M matfer what's the weather.

There's an April Topsy-Turvy Party,
the following plan and date,
No matter what's the weather.
be sure that you're not late.
! Twill all be most unusual
a merry mix-up quite,
And this is what you all must do
to join the fun that night:
To make things topsy-turvy,
will mix our clothes up, too.
Well put on something upside down,
or wear it wrong side to.
Or on our feet, will wear some shoes
that do not match each other
And really twill be hard to tell
one person from another.
At 7:45 the entire Senior class,
accompanied by their adviser, Miss
Thiele, carefully walked backwards
up the steps and were admitted to
the back door of the Akers home.
Quite an interesting scene ensued.
Shirts, coats, dresses, were worn
in every style but the style that was
meant for them to be worn, hair was
dressed in the most alarming fashion,
from the demurrest pig-tail to the
elaborate coiifure that might have
been the envy of queen of the
Cannibal Islands; and tatooing ap.
peared in fantastic designs on the
faces of the different guests. The
display of colored hosiery was equally
surprizing.
The evening passed quickly. The
games were unique and interesting,
many OF them being familiar games
played backward; there were also
some new and amusing games.
Nothing reed be said of the success
of the party; the evident enjoyment
of the guests spoke more plainly than
words.
Refreshments were served, a few
more games were played and the
guests bade goodnight to their host
and hostess, expressing rather in
elegantly, yet truthfully that: I'VE
certainly have had the time of our
lives"
There were present besides the
Senior Glass and Miss Thiele, Miss
Hewes, Miss Struck, Miss Johnson
and Miss Radabaugh.

FINE USED CAR POLICY.
studebal<er Corporation Furnishes
Definite Guarantee.

THE problem of the used car buyer
is one of the utmost Importance to the
automobile industry, particularly now
when the shortage of new cars Is so
great" says !. G.. Jones. New York rep
resentatlve of the Studebaker company.
THE majority of buyers Of used cars
never owned car before. They know
little or nothing OF automobile mechan-
les. II they follow the usual custom Of
buying the car as is after a cursory
inspection and short demonstration, they
almost invariably wake up In few
weeks to find that they have bought
an expense account rather than a means
of enjoyment. Even the experienced
automobile mechanic Is running a risk
when buying a car as is. There are so
many ways that the inscriptions dealer
can doctor up and temporarily conceal
faults that II is almost impossible to
tell the true condition without taking
down the entire machine
Realizing this dependency of the
buyer. and also that regulations of both
the dealer and the maker of the car de-
pended so greatly on service the used
car gave after in service, the Stude-
baker company some time ago stopped
selling used cars as is. Every Stude-
baker car they take in exchange for a
new Studebaker is sent to the service
station. where 1t is dsmantled and re-
built. 1t is then put on the salesroom
floor with it's history, and sold with a
definite guarantee.
The result of this four square policy
has been most gratifying. Quite a con-
siderable percentage of the buyers of
used cars come back and buy new
Studebakers"

simultaneously with the announce

William c. Poertner has received word
that the National Motor Car and Vehicle
Corporation is planning a greatly en-
larged production programme for 1890
During the war the National company
discontinued the manufacture of passen-
ger vehicles and built a quantity of four
wheel drive trucks for army use, COM
pleting its contract considerably under
the Government cost estimate, a feat
that is regarded by executives of the
company with much satisfaction.
At present the final stages are being
completed in changing the factory over

production will soon be in full swing.

TRUCKS KEEP COAL COST DOWN
Mount Vernon Dealer ELIMINATES
Four Teams and Twenty Men.

Mount Vernon Dealer Eliminates
Four Teams and Twenty Men.
Many persons do not realize that
motor trucks with modern equipment are
a material factor in keeping down the
cost of coal, according TO Robert o. Pat
ten. truck sales manager of the Pierce
Arrow Motor Car Company. Anticipated
methods of delivery. he says, would send
the cost per ton to figure much higher
than the consumer now pays.
A striking comparison, illustrating the
truth of this. is afforded by the expert
ence of Henry B. Pruser. coal dealer OF
Mount Vernon, N. Y.
In 1918 Mr.. Pruser used five teams
Of horses and one four-ton truck. Dur
ing the months of April, May and June
Mr.. Pruser delivered 4.233 tons of coal
Just 233 men were employed, including
drivers, helpers. trimmers, hosting engi
neers fremen, &C.
In 1919 Mr. Pruser added two nve-ton
Pierce-Arrow trucks, equipped with eIe
waiting bodies. to his haulage forces. He
discarded four teams of horses. with
only 203 men-thirty less on the payroll
than the previous year-he delivered
during the corresponding months, s52
tons more than he did In 1918.
1.-The coal trade is but one Of many In
which Pierce-Arrow trucks have effected
marked economies" says Mr.. Patten
The Pierce-Arrow has justified its rep
utation in many lines of business as the
most economical and dependable motor
truck"

time is coming, however, when the
memories of the great struggle will
bind them together with ties second
only to those of the family circle.
This fact is forcefully proved by the
history of the Grand Army OF the Re-

ties, but there are few in which the
members are so closely associated.
The men who served that the best
government on earth might continue
and be in a position to turn the scale
when the civilized nations of the old
world were about to lose their identi-
ties acquired a distinction Of which
they have ever been justly proud.
The young American citizens who
have recently laid aside their uni

and carry it on to future generations
Eventually the large majority of them
will become members of the Ameri-
can Legion, just as most of the sol

roll early their assistance will help to
sooner round out the legion into the
useful organization it is bound to be-
