DESERVING Soldier
Weakens; Rejoins

Charles w. Walton, aged about
eighteen years, native of Philadel-
phia, Pa, made application to Chief
of Police Cook on Thursday to be held,
claiming that he was United States
soldier, absent without leave from
Camp Jackson, La. Chief Cook took
the young man in charge and reported
the. matter to Mrs. G. A. Wilkinson,
Of the local Red Cross. Mr.. Cook
wired the commanding officer at
Camp Jackson for instructions and
was requested to send the boy to the
nearest recruiting station, which is
West Point. Mrs. Wilkinson took
care of the soldier, providing him with
food and furnishing sufficient money
to carry him to the recruiting station.
Walton enlisted to go to Panama, but
after spending some time in the army
camp decided he would rather be back
home and left the camp. When he
reached here his money gave out, he
had no food, so concluded the wisest
thing to do would be to go back to
camp. Officer Morton put him on the
train Friday morning for West Point.

FIRST IN MOTOR TRANSFORM.

More than 5000 White Trucks are
used by concerns whose sole business
is motor truck transportation. They
are operated on established routes
express, freight, passonger-in every
part Of the country.
In many cities White Trucks are
the backbone Of the largest motor
transport fleets, To farms and vii,
lagos, to mining and lumber camps
and oil fields, White Trucks bring
rapid transit and quick eommunica-
tion. In our great National Parks
they are the standard equipment for
passenger and freight service.
In this service, the mettle Of a
truck shows Enthusiastically. Steady
operation on exacting schedules, over
all kinds of roads in all kinds of
weather, is an acid test of endurance
The trucks earning power is the only
source of income. Every cent Of op-
Grating cost is a direct charge against
profits. None but the best trucks
can do the work; only the most
economical can pay.
Owners in this field emphasize the
ION time" dependability of White
Trucks under all conditions, and their
low cost of operation year after year.
Mileage records are frequent, citing
100000 to 100000 miles, the trucks
still doing full days work. White
Trucks go on working and earning
long after the investment has been
charged off the books. They "do the
most work for the least money"

These Are the Advantages
You Want

Greater size could add nothing to Essex.
You sacrifice no motoring pleasure, comfort or
good looks that large high-priced cars can
give. And you gain all the advantages of the
lightweight type, more important today than
ever.
They cover not alone the cost of operation.
They include the satisfaction that comes with
its distinction as fine, beautiful car. And it
has new advantage in handling ease.
And there is all the surety Of uninterrupted
service and comfort as well as repair freedom,
which hitherto were looked upon as exclusive
costly car qualities.
Knowing the demand existing for all wanted
cars, you will understand the Importance of
speaking for your Essex now.

See Why Essex Set a
Worlds Selling Record
Consider Its UnequaLled Endurance Records--3O37
Miles IN so Hours-1O61 Road Miles in "a Hours

Essex in its first year set worlds sales
record. That shows hov: men wanted and
talked about what it offered
But of chief Importance to you are the quail
tiles which earned this world selling mark.
You know what an uphill fight the car of
average ability must make for even limited
recognition.
What then was the Essex appeal that swept
aside the natural doubts of buyers?
1t was not prestige born Of confidence in its
makers Their identity was not revealed
Essex was required to make its own name
stand for the things men seek in a car.
And it won because of its fine performance,
riding case and endurance, qualities hitherto
regarded as exclusive to large costly cars. And
further, because of its economy and convent
ence, which were exclusive light car advantages

CONWAY DEFEATS
 MORR|LTON, I9-O

The scrappy Conway high school football eleven handed the Morrilton high school team a 19 to 0 defeat yesterday afternoon on the Russell field, in a classy exhibition of high school football. Although the teams were about evenly matched in weight, the superior generalship of Reynolds at quarter, and the broken field run ming of Newton and Whiddon added the necessary punch for the local lads to score the victory.
 Conway kicked off to Morrilton to open the game, but throughout the first and second quarters the ball re mained in mid-field practically all the time. Conway threatened to score couple of times after contin- ued first downs but Morrilton boys held for downs when under the shad- ow of their own goal posts.
 Conway came into the game in the second half fighting for every inch of ground, and on a series of line plunges and end runs Newton soon went over for the first marker. Rev. holds kicked goal The second touch down as made by Newton on an end run of 20 yards around right end. He grounded" the ball however, and forfeited the privilege of being allow ed to kick goal. In the fourth quart CT, the Morrilton boys added a little excitement when they stiffened and finally made several first downs in succession. A tumble, however, gave the ball to Conway in midi field, and Newton ran 40 yards for the final touchdown just before the final whistle blew
 Newton, Reynolds and Whiddon starred for Conway while Kizer was the malnstay of the Morrilton ap- gregation
