ers in Grenada, Mr.. j. B. Horn sue
ceeding Mr.. ]. B. Taylor, who ha.
been transferred to Brookhaven. is :
matter Of general regret. Mr.. anG
Mrs. Taylor have been residents OF
Grenada for three years during which
time they have found their way to
the heart Of the community as few
people have who have lived here no
longer than they.
Mr.: Taylor is a dependable and
useful business factor, a Trustworthy
friend and a stalwart citizen who can
be counted on for what is fair and
right at all times. He is deseryedlv
worthy Of every confidence. His
wife is lovely character and their
sweet little girl is just such an one
as one would expect to find in such
home. The Sentinel unreservedly
commends Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor to the
good people Of Brookhaven. just
somehow Grenada feels that thew
will be "back home" within the next
hfteen months to remain permanent

The total realty assessment for the

The total realty and personally as

JUDGE SPENCE APPOINTED
GRENADA POSTMASTER
Judge Spence Succeeds Jerry T. Tai

ing, Judge Spe presented himself
at, the post OF and the work Of
checking out retiring postmaster
and the new or - was begun and the
task was COMP I'd that day.
The new Postmaster is a native of
Georgia. He was born in 1879 at
Camilla, Ga. His father was a Demo
cratic congressman from the forth
Georgia district but died during his
first term, hence was unable to seek
reelection. Judge Spence's moth
er removed to Murfreesboro, Ruther-
ford County, Tennessee, where Gre
nada's new Postmaster grew to man
hood and where he lived until his re-
mOval to Grenada County, Mississippi,
in 1918. Judge Spence presided over
the County Court in Rutherford
County, Tennessee. He has long
been identified with the Republican
party. He is a man Of unusual ca
pacity and will readily impress him
self upon any community. He is
polished, cultured and dignifed
gentleman and is by nature accom-
and obliging, and The Sen
tinel believes that he can be relied
upon to make an acceptable Post
master and thereby maintain the
splendid record that the Grenada post
office has SO long enjoyed.

DON'T LET TIRE PRESSURE DOWN
 IN HOT WEkTHER'

There seems to be a theory ram pant" says L. H. Sorey. manager of the Western Auto Supply company, distributors of the India, Pharis, Fi- delity and Nebraska tires, that in hot weather the air in the tire ex- bands so much that in order to avoid the dangers of overinflation some air should be let out and the pressure reduced at the beginning of the days run.
 Tire men all over the country are trying to teach the fallacy of this theory Tires should be pumped up just as hard in the summer as during the winter. The reasons are simple and easily explained.
 Different tire manufacturers have made exhaustive tests to determine the proper amount of imitation for tires at all seasons of the year. They have found that during the hottest summer days, when a speed of 50 to 40 miles an hour is maintained, that the pressure in the tire is increased only per cent. This is under ex- treme conditions, probably seldom duplicated by the motorist in the or dinary use of his car. This extra , per cent pressure is so small that it is entirely negligible
 "On the other hand. if tires are slightly deflated, anticipating an in crease in pressure. they are liable to be seriously injured. The flexing of the tire-the constant bending back

DO DOUBLE
 DUTY WITH AUTO

There is one supreme test for every product from an economic point, of view-does it increase the productive power of the man who buys and uses it Does it enable him to do enough more work to pay for itself and leave him a profit?
 This test the automobile passes by margin of several hundred per cent. It has become one of the most val uable tools in our general social eco nomy. It increases production, 1t pays it's way and leaves a profit. it is one of the most important contrib utors to modern progress. The pleas ure it gives, the luxury, comfort. health and better homes it makes possible are all velvet" The cost has been paid many times over in cash value alone
 So it is clear that the predictions of curtailment in the use of cars are based on false premises. And indeed there is reason to believe that we are only now coming to a realizatio of the economic uses of the automobile; that the next five years will see as great. development in the realiza- tion of its economic value as have the last five
 All these things deal only with the dollars and cents value of passenger car transportation There are other values which the passenger car gives which cannot be measured in cash
 One of these is the making of farm life tolerable. Another is in the saw ing of physicians time when life is at stake. Automobiles have made possible a health service for rural

dution and selling into two distinct organizations through the incorpora- ton of the new Moreland Sales com pany was the last step toward smoothing the way for an intensive campaign, not only on trucks but for passenger cars which will come in the near future.
 "We have cleaned up all our old model trucks and all our old mate rials. New axles, motors and other materials are arriving in carloads. We have had the benefit of some reductions in labor, materials and transportation costs. Through our policy of selling direct from factory to the user we have eliminated large selling costs
 Conditions are ripe and we are all set to go straight ahead with the in creased business and prosperity of the new era of commercial and in dustrial activity which we believe will soon be with us all.
 We are, therefore. ready to give the truck user the full benefit of all advantages which we possess by handing over to him a truck of the finest quality, built to meet present conditions of highways regulation and general operation at price that assures him getting absolute, value for every dollar he expends.
 At the time of completing our ten years of truck manufacturing we made the statement that general con- ditions at that time did not warrant any manufacturer who was charging an honest price for an honest truck, in making any reduction. We also made the definite promise that when conditions did warrant reduction we would hand it over to the truck purchaser In these price reductions we have done so.
 Last February, when we put out our new models. we made no cut in list price. We did, however, hold the price stationary while putting several hundred dollars in actual material and labor costs into distinct mechan- | ical improvements in these models, including new model heavy duty mo- | tors, new multiple speed transmission l and many others. This second re- duction is made possible both by slightly decreased labor, material and l transportation costs, which will be effective the last half of this year and which we are applying to present stock on hand, and more finely per- fected development of direct selling | drought our factory branches and l it's attendant elimination of selling | costs, as before stated.
 For over two years our engineers have been working to nerfect light % ton truck that will satisfy oul ideas of what a truck of this capacity should be in the light of modern ideas of construction and operation. Wt are ready to produce this truck and We believe it will be as revolutionary in it's field as our new 1921 models are in theirs"

districts and even for cities many ing are beyond all possible money appraisal.
 As important in another way is the service which the automobile is giy- ing in improving city life. It is per mitting hundreds of thousands to reach the country with all it's aids to health and rest, whenever there is an hour or two to spare.
 Another factor is shown in such business as the telegraph and tele- phone. In the telephone system of Philadelphia alone there are 514 pas senger cars used; there are TOT cars used by the New York system. Each such car used by a line man or "troubleshooter, multiplies the amount of line he can keep in order and saves the time of many men. Other hundreds of cars are in con stant use for government purposes, especially by the good roads depart ments and by the welfare agencies. In the cities the red cars of the fire chiefs may be mentioned as a single impressive example. New York state own 12S ears. New Jersey, 125, and Iowa, 345. The United States depart ment of agriculture uses above 2.000 passenger cars and needs many mo. e.
 Here are some figures that show in detail the increase in efficiency which the general use of the Automobile has made in the lives of men in different occupations:

 But if the tire is kept well in- Hated. it will have one less enemy to fight in hot weather. My advice. which I think coincides with the ad-

been working for the past two years and which, it is believed, will be revolutionary in many respects in the light truck field.
 'We have been looking forward for some time, and making comprehen- sive plans and preparations" says General Manager Watt l.. Moreland for the step which we have now taken. We have been getting our new factories systematized and fooled up for both low production costs and large quantity production. We have also been developing our distribution through our direct fac tory branches, our general sales or ganization and policies and our meth cd of servicing our trucks after they leave our hands.

BALANCE HAS THE CHALMERS
 SAYS R. J. ROPER

we welcome an opportunity to demonstrate the Chalmers,' said R. | c. Roper yesterday, because we are | firmly convinced that the Chalmers today is by far the best car in its class. And the experienced motorist | soon sees this when the Chalmers is demonstrated
 "The new Chalmers doesn't require l any .babying.' Due to the new pis- ton construction. Chalmers is ready to render full service without hav- ing to be broken in by it's owner or driver.
 "Of course, the fact that the fuel is preheated before it enters the cyl inders has great deal to do with the fine performance of this car. The gasoline consumption is reduced, plug fouling and carbon formation are almost unknown, and much less oil is used
 These points are of vital concern because they greatly reduce upkeep costs And because the motor works so well wear is reduced, meaning long life to parts and lowered replacement charges.
 Good workmanship is apparent throughout the Chalmers. The car Is exceedingly quiet. even in the matter of rattles after extended service. and us Ille Ddiance IS eNluenceu py the way it holds the road even at high 1 speeds, and by it's easy steering. "A study of it's construction and the manufacturing practice used
 shows that the Chalmers is made in a i way equal to many cars selling at
 great deal more and that it's present price, which is but little more than
 many small cars, it is undoubtedly
 a wonderful value in a motor car. That is why I say we like to dem
 onstrate the Chalmers, particularly
 to people who know good cars. They
 see at once the superiority of the
 Chalmers and that is why the Chal-
 mers is coming into general recogni- ton as a particularly fine automo- bile"
