COUNTY PUPILS TO PAY
AFTER FIFTH MONTH

County Superintendent of Educa-
tion. Mr.. ". Mckibben states that
at the beginning of the session that
he thought the county schools would
be in session for six months and that
he could pap for that length of time
the county's part of the tuition of
county pupils attending Grenada
schools. Mr.. McKibben has this
week notified the trustees of the city
schools, however, that he cannot pay
any county funds for tuition after
the present month. Therefore it will
be necessary for all county pupils
to pay full tuition, as indicated on
statements sent out from the superin-
tendent of the City School after this,
the fifth month. Parents or guard
jans will please take notice.

BEST TOWN FOR GIRLS
Modern Cretna Green Lure For The
Husbandless.
(By Ralph F. Couch, United Press

Staff Correspondent
Washington, Jan. 14.-The world:
largest single collection of bachelors
now is included within the popula
tiOn Of continental United States. q
forthcoming official analysis of the
census bureau reports is expected to
show.
The analysis may reveal nearly TO-.
OOO,O0 bachelors, estimates indicate
today, counting all unmarried males
| over 20 years old. Western states
and cities harbor most of the bache.
lors.
Reports showing the proportion of
males and females nj various cities
now are being made up almost daily.
Later the bureau will have the very
newest figures on the proportion of
males and females throughout the en-.
tire United States which probably will
show that there are 106 male to each
100 females.
This will put the United States in
a class by itself among the great ma
tlons since in all other countries the
excess of females over males is mark
ed, condition which has resulted in
rush of women immigrants.
Gary, Ind, now stands out as the
one city which woman desiring
a husband might expect more easily
to find her hopes gratified. Gary now
has 1876 males for each 100 females
and therefore the largest number of
men dwelling in single blessedness.
Troy, N. Y, so far enjoys the dis
tinction of the greatest excess of fe-
males in its population, the proper
tiCn being 100 females to each 81
males. Troy, accordingly, would seem
to occupy the position of a haven
for a solitary male anxious to obtain
mate.
Troy has total of 38,93S females
and but 33,075 males, while Gary has
81, ,S19 males and but 23,559 females
The records Of Troy and Gary
may be completely over-thrown, how
ever, by records for other cities now
Being worked out by the census bu-
reau.
Seattle, Wash, once had a record
excess of males, but the proportion
is being lowered with each census
In 1900 Seattle reported I77 males
to each 100 females, but ten years
later the proportion had been reduced
to 1876.

MRS. J. c. CAROTHERS
PASSED AWAY MONDAY.

Monday morning, January II, at
$50 O'Clock, at the Presbyterian
Manse in Grenada, Mrs. j. c. Caroth-
ers closed her eyes on the scenes of
this life and her spirit went back to
the God who gave it. She died sur
rounded by her three children and
other friends and there was that
sweet ecstacy of heavenly delight
mirrored on her countenance- that
could come to no one other than
those who knew Jesus as their Re-
deemer.
Mrs. Carothers had been i'll for
several weeks and her demise was
not unexpected. She had not been
strong for a number of years and
during the past year, she seemed to
almost collapse under the strain of
the separation from her husband who
preceded her to the spirit land, De-
cember 81, 1919.
Mrs. Carothers' maiden name was
Belle McCaleb. She was born and
reared at Scooba, Kemper County.
She came to Grenada q bride in 1879.
She married minister, and we'll and
truly did she meet the duties of
minister's wife and help-mate. Her
husband served the Presbyterian
church as pastor for 3S years as ac-
tive pastor and two years as pastor
emeritus and during all those years
he found his wife by his side a; ready
counselor and active in all Christian
work. She was bright and cherry at
all times. There was a frankness
and candor about her that command |
ed esteem and admiration and that
gave her an exceptional hold on those
who knew her best. Her philosophy
was that OF the Christian, whose lad
der, it has been said, "comes down
from heaven upon which angels are
constantly descending and ascend
ing"
She has left a legacy besides her
good deeds in three splendid children,
all Of whom are grown, N. j., and
Andrew M. and one daughter, Miss
Mary-these will in some measure
take up the threads where she left
them and carry on the sublime and
the pure in the life of the thought
full. loving and devoted mother.
The funeral services were conduct
ed from the Presbyterian church on
Tuesday afternoon by the Paster,
Rev. j. r. Cunningham, who was
summonded by wire from Austin,
Texas, whittier he had gone on a
mission for his church. He paid a {
beautiful and lovirg tribute to the
lifa of the depa=ted. TIs<fsoral Of ;
feriEgs were profuse. Burial was {
had at Odd Fellows cemetery. The
Sentinel tenders the sincerest SYM
pathy to the bereft. /

NASH TOURING CAR
/ PRICE IS CUT $3.50;
| MODELS DOWN
Increased Production and Eff
cheney in Factory Makes
Drop Possible.

Coming as a distinct surprise to
those in the automobile industry most
familiar with motor car values is the
announcement Of the Nash Motors Co.
of sweeping reduction in prices of
all models of the Nash Four. The
fivepassenger touring car has been re-
five passenger touring car has been re-
$1,O45; the two passenger roadster
now sells for 81 .025. the three passen-
ger coupe S1.645 and the five passen-
ger sedan $1,S35
These prices are all f. 0. b. Milwau-
kee and are effective Immediately.
When the Nash Four went into
production little over year ago the
touring car was priced at 1885. the
coupe sold for S1,9S5 and the sedan
for $2,1S5. From the moment the car
was introduced its value was unques-
toned and it won immediate favor with
the public.
So great has been the demand for
four cylinder cars that the Nash
factory never has been in a position
to fill all orders. This demand has
steadily increased with resultant
volume in production.
II believe ] am entirely safe in
saying that at it's new price the Four
represents by big margin the great
est automobile value in the history of
the motor car industry" said Charles

ing which makes tighter mesh be
tween the gears. If too tight there
will be binding and consequent hard
steering.
Screw and Nut Type.
In the screw and nut type of steer
ing the base of the post is fitted with
a screw upon which is mounted split
nut, so called This consists Of two
oppositely threaded members fitting
over the screw so that when the screw
is turned one member moves upward
and the other downward In their
movement they indirectly operate the
steering arm. In modified form of
this the nut is not split but is in one
piece. When either type begins to be-
come so worn that steering play de-
velops excessively and perhaps at one
point binds. it shows that the nut is
cooking against the screw. There is a
rang Of adjustment by means Of an &C.
centric bushing, but this type is not
adjustable for as great length Of
time as the worm and wheel type.
In the Ford and Chevrolet designs
we have set Of spur gearing in one
case under the steering wheel and in
the other at the bottom of the post in
the usual manner. These are simply
are worn must be replaced
Why Steering Is Hard
1t is sometimes difficult to deter
mine just why steering is hard, owing
to the fact that there may be binding
at any Of the moving parts of the sys
TEN. For instance. the steering knuckle
pins in the front axle may be rusty
due to lack of lubricant. This will
cause binding at the knuckle and may
appear to be binding in the gears. In
order to tell just where the binding
exists jack up the front axle at both
sides, disconnect the drag link and then
move the wheels by hand
1t is of utmost Importance that every
moving part of the steering system
steering joints are working always.
whether the car is being steered or
not. due to the fact that steering is
by the slight inequalities in
the road. If the drag link joints. the
bolts at the tie rod ends and the
knuckles are not fabricated at least
weekly they soon show signs of cut
ting. Where the owner neglects these
parts for months and months, he finds
that the king bolts and tie rod bolts
are simply worn almost through This
is very dangerous. for such bolt may
break easily under strain. If oil cups
are supplied they should be filled daily
and you will find that they require fill
ing. for the oil runs through quickly
If grease is used. weekly packing is
sufficient. If not fabricated for months
grease packed parts will hinder the
of further grease because
the old grease has hardened.
