ises to be good one.
The Student Body of the high
school have been busy selling tickets
for the Carson benefit show, for they
they are directly interested on per-
centage basis themselves.
Our basketball teams heven't been
supported as they should have been

this show to help pull themselves out
of debt.

Auto Thieves Busy
All Over Country

Chief Strickland is receiving daily
kilograms and letters by the score ad-
vising his department of stolen auto
mobiles from cities far and near. It
seems that there is regular epidemic
of auto stealing and little can be done
by the police department of any city
to prevent these thefts.
Chief Strickland advises auto own
ers to lock their cars and where prac-
teal to remove the units from their
Fords.
With the more popular make of cars
where there are so many on the road
it is almost impossible to locate a
stolen car, unless it should happen to
break down and get into a garage for
repairs, where notices of the number
of the car or its motor may have been
received.
