l79,5OO MILES IN THREE YEARS

Think of mileage equal to seven
times around the world, or more than
seventy times across the United
States, in less than three years.
Thinl; Of car travelling this remark
able distance at total cost Of less
than $75 for repairs. This is service
Of the highest type-the kind which
everyone hopes to get when he pur-
chases an automobile.
The average man feels proud of
his car when it has successfully trav-
erscd a fraction Of this distance. Such
performance demonstrates the real
worth of the product. 1t fulflls the
ideal of the automobile manufacturer
20 give the public a car whose SER
vice and economy are almost unlimit-
ed. This record was made by Nick
Cornacchia, Of Portland, Oregon, in
his Chevrolet, Model -Four Ninety
Touring Car. He purchased this car
on May ), 1918, and has operated il
ever since as "jitney" between the
cities of Portland and Linnton. In
April Of this year Mr.. Cornacchia
traded il in for a new Chevrolet. Up
to that time he had actually run this
car distance of 179,5OO miles in less
than three years
For business reasons he had faith
fully kept an account of expenses in
Cured during his ownership of the
car And this is especially interest
ing to Chevrolet owners.
Mr.. Cornaccha's trips between
Portland and Linnton have averaged
100 miles per day with six passen-
gers. He also secured an average of
10000 miles on each of his tires
Gasoline consumption averaged %
miles to the gallon, and a quart of oil
lasted for 800 miles. Under these
conditions his total repair bill was
less than So from which $44.73 was
paid for new storage battery.
1t is evident from this record that
Mr.. Colnacchia's original investment
has been returned several times over
And in addition to its great econ
omy of operation, the consistent per-
Torrance Of his car has enabled hin,
to give the kind Of service that in
creases the profits of his business.

Alma High
School Notes

During the holiday vacation the
basketball team is continuing in its
strenuous training. st. Johns, Alma
guest January 9th, promises some Of
the strongest opposition the team is
likely to meet during its season. The
exact lineup against st. Johns is
very uncertain although it is probable
that Elias will play at center, Garner
and Anderson at forwards and Akin
son and Holmes at guards. In Sartor,
Wyant and Deyarmond, Coach Mullin
has three utility men of more than
ordinary calibre. Any of these men
may be inserted at any time without
materially weakening the team in the
least. The preseason grind uncovered
two forwards, who, although both of
them are light, may be put into the
game together for few minutes and
completely BATTLE the opposing team.
These two lightweights, Trip and
Bartling, are very lucky in locating
the iron circle and are clever floor
men. 1t remains to be seen, however,
just how these men will stand against
close guarding.
The game with Breckenridge on
Thursday afternoon resulted in de-
cided victory for the local ring
tossers. The final score was Is to 5.
The Breckenridge aggregation put up
a much better fight than was expected
and furnished real opposition for a
preseason training game. The coach
gave most of the prospects a chance
to show their ability and, judging
from the showing made Thursday,
Alma High will have real team to
send to the Mt Pleasant tournament
at the end of the season. The team
shows remarkably even balance as
to playing ability and scoring quail
ties. Elias was Alma's outstanding
PLAYER, however. Holmes and Garner
also deserve mention. The game
served to show the weak spots in
Alma's attack and the coaches have
been coaching the squad to remedy
these faults.
Work on the Senior play, stop
Thief" is rapidly progressing. The
play is primarily farce and there is
nothing dry about it. 1t has met
great success upon the professional
stage and in amateur presentations.
The cast is being trained by Miss
Wells, head of the English depart
ment, and the personnel of the play
was carefully chosen, the characters
fitting their respective parts wonder
fully well. The play will be pre-
scented sometime in February.
