IN MEMORIA1l

Tn memory Of our dear mother,
MRS ELLA TURNER, who depart
ed this life six months ago today,
September 22, 1921.
Dearest Mother thou hast left US,
We thy loss most deeply feel,
God in his wisdom has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal,
Will you know when we are coming,
Will you meet us at the door?
Is it wrong to want to see you,
In that land so bright and fair.
In that land all bright in glory
Will we know each other there?
G9-1p. BY her children.

IN GROWN TOE NAIL
TURNS OUT ITSELF

A few drops of "Outgro"upon the
skin surrounding the improving nail
reduces inflammation and pain and
so toughens the tender, sensitive skin
underneath the toe nail, that it can
not penetrate the flesh, and the nail
turns naturally outward almost over
night.
,"Outgro" is harmless, antiseptic
manufactured for chiropodists. How
ever, anyone can buy from the drug
store tiny bottle containing direc-
tions.

RETIRED BRITISH OFFICER
BOUGHT A LAKE WEIR HOME

What has been known for many
years as the Agnew home on the
north shore of Lake Weir where the
Dixie Highway strikes the lake boule-
ward has been purchased by Major w.
F. lilly, who recently came here from
Grand Forks, B. c., Canada. Messrs.
Thorn & Thomas, who conduct the
local agency of the Strout company,
made the sale.
We understand that the place which
is really one of the most. attractive
of the larger residence properties on
the lake, is to be greatly improved
and the residence overhauled.
Major lilly served many years in
the British army and is now on the
retired list. Among his other cam
paigns while in active service were a
number of years in India. The fact
that Major lilly has decided to live
in Marion county, after seeing every
portion of the globe, is much appre-
ciated by those who have long been
enthusiastic over our many .attrac-
tions.

Little Edith OFT entertained a few
of her little neighbors and friends at
an Easter egg hunt this morning at
her home. For an hour excitement
ran high, while the little folks hunted
in the grass and flowers for the bright
colored eggs. When all the eggs had
been found, each child counted his or
her eggs and it was found that little
Lawson Cox had been the most active,
finding the greatest number of eggs,
and he was given a Bunny Book"
The other children who did not have
so many were given balloons. After
the egg hunt games were enjoyed and
then came refreshment time when the
little folks were taken into the dining
room where ice cream and cake and
candy were served. In the center OF
the table was large bowl of nastur-
tlums which was surrounded by paper
chickens that later were given as fav-
ors and when opened up were paper
caps. All of the children who were
at the party had a fine time and went
home to tell about it to their friends
Miss Susie Lou Ellis assisted Mrs
OFT during the evening in entertain
ing the children and in serving them

BILLIONS OF MILES
 IN TOTAL DISTANCE
 TRAVELLED BY TIRES

Statistics delving into the vast number of automobiles owned in Los Angeles county have brought to light some staggering data upon the sub ject of pneumatic tires.
 It is claimed that in the county there are approximately, in round numbers, some 100000 automobiles. Multiplying these by the four tires per wheel, gives s0O,O00 tires in use. The statisticians add to that another 100000 to account for spares and tires used on light trucks, bringing the total up to an even mil lion.
 Taking 10000 miles to be the av- craze life of tire, the huge sum of ten billion miles or a distance equal to about 53 round trips to the sun, is run every year in Los Angeles county alone.
 "That total mileage is certainly gi- gantic, but the thing that interests me most is the fact that it would have been impossible to get over two- thirds of that wear from the pneu- matic tires made fifteen years ago.

STORY OF ECONOMY
 RUN IN YEAR 1903

-(When an automobile dealer today sends his car over the roads to Yo- semitic on an official economy run it is an occasion for m oh exclamatory comment about the condition of the highways and the ability of the auto bile to endure rough going. And at this the drivers of less than a score of years ago would be inclined to smile.
 Rough going was the usual con- dition applying on any automobile trip when the first economy runs were
 taged and the ability to withstand it was largely hypothetical in the case of most of the cars on the market. When 30 cars headed out of Los An geles in 1905 on an economy run to Santa Barbara any driver who had looked ahead to smooth highway would have been disappointed and the expectation of. any easy, pleasant journey would have ended in equal disappointment.
 Ralph Hamlin, a Los Angeles dealer, in those days was a recent graduate of. the bicycle business. Trick bicycle riding lost its thrill beside the glorious uncertainty of piloting the early auro- mobile. It had just begun to look as though the automobile business would really prove permanent and Hamlin had consequently cast his lot with the new industry.
 In the Santa Barbara run he drove the make of car that he still handles today-an air-cooled Franklin. It bore little resemblance to the present Franklin, however. It was two speed car that sputtered along some what protestingly through the sand and ruts of the unpaved roads and in appearance deserved the name of "horseless carriage" that was common to all the cars of the period.
 Despite its protests it rambled over the old Casitas Pass road-not an inch of which was paved at that time-and landed in Santa Barbara winner in class and winner of the sweepstakes. The victory was turned into defeat, according to Hamlin, because the car had failed to make a detour and was disqualified.
 The detour was this side of Mon- talvo. At that point the sand in the road was deep and the pilot car turn ed out to one side. When Hamlin reached the spot in the Franklin he had sufficient confidence in the car to attempt to go through. His ob- server agreed and the little Franklin pushed it's way through the sand. Its efficiency as a sand-hog won it no Compliments from the judges, however,
