DODGE DEALER
AGAINST FREE
SERVICE
Raphael Semmes Believes in
Giving Buyer Full Value
for His Money

Investigate any phase of Dodge
Brothers business and you will fine

factory and dealers operate, says
Raphael Semmes. Dodge Brothers
dealer.
He cited in particular the
policies governing service and used
cars.
Dodge Brothers position on the
used car question has BEEN clear
and progressive from the outset.
he said. "They have always in
sisted that dealers handle only good
used cars and have emphasized over
and over again the importance or
the used car buyers good will. We
regard every used car purchaser as
a potential new car buyer and treat
him accordingly. We recondition
Dodge Brothers used cars in such
a thorough way that we feel
absolutely sure that buyers will
receive a. dollar in satisfactory
value for every dollar invested
Take the question OF service.
Dodge Brothers dealers do not give
ao-caIled free service but they do
pfovide good service. The reputa-
ton of dealers the world over viii
bear out this statement. I am sure.
Oppose Free Service"
Dodge Brothers ere against
so-called free service because this
aimply means that enough is added
to the price of the car to cover
the cost of a free service policy.
In that way the buyer not only
paws for his service in advance,
buf he paws for something the
dealer is giving to another owner,
as he himself may happen to re-
quire less service than other pur-
chasers. At any rate he pays,
whether he gets it or not.
Dodge Brothers believe in CIV
ing the buyer full value for his
money. Consequently, in selling
him a car, they charge only the
amount Of their actual investment
In the car. plus a reasonable profit
for factory and dealer. Obviously,
this policy makes it impossible to
tack on an extra charge to cover
such items as free service More

The only North Dakota clubs

although baseball in the state Of
North Dakota is not organized as in
other states whereby championships
can easily be determined. many clubs
have advanced themselves through
press reports as the champions Of
this state.
The defeat by Omemec, handed to
IIatton last Sunday at Hatton. North
Dakota. primarily spells champion
ship for the fast Williston aggrega-
ton.
Williston has handed Omemce one
defeat and tied one game by score
of 3 to 3, and is still willing to give
Omcmcc another chance so there will
nc no question: as 10 inc muCh Cncr-

after playing Rugby to a tic at

Wiliston also agreed to another
game with this club to satisfy the

reality. Williston has no reason to
play the Rugby aggregation, as prior
to the tic games Williston came out
victorious over other teams that de-
fcatcd Rugby. .

Everything Ready
Everything is in readiness for one
of the most successful school years
in North Dakota's history, Miss Min
ME J. Nelson, state superintendent
of. education, said today. The aver
age ability Of teachers is expected
to be higher than ever before. Many
normal school graduates have ac-
ceptcd positions AS teachers in coun-
try. schools and bctter-prcpared
teachers means better educated stu
dents, Miss Nelson believes.
While some teachers have had diff
ficulty in getting jobs few school
boards have had trouble in getting
teachers. she said, since there are
now available plenty of teachers to
fill all vacancies. Last year there
were 5000 teachers and $4,000 chill
dren in the schools. Statistics for
this year arc expected to show a
greater number of both as the ten
dency toward more education en-,
courages parents to keep their chill
dren IN school after the period when
they may legally discontinue their
studies.
New Study Plan
One Of the things which may in
crease the efficiency Of the rural
schools this year, Miss Nelson said,
isa new system Of setting up the
regular course Of study which isr be-
ing devised by the state department
Of education. Under this system
each teacher will be furnished with
a chart showing standard rate OF
advancement in each. study for each
grade. BY referring to this chart
inexperienced teachers will be able
TO determine if their students arc
making average progress, Miss Mel
son said.

FREAK STUNTS

No sport compares with baseball
in producing trick situations. Prob
ably that is one Of the reasons why
the game, has such Il hold on the pub
lie.
,',, ,,. Despite the fact that | have seen
20 years of service in the big
leagues. learn "a number Of new
and interesting things each year
about the freak possibilities Of base
ball.
Yet it is true that many Of the un-
usual situations that develop IN a
ball game can be traced back to
some bone" play on the part of the
athletes.
a - As a matter of fact. the failure TO
touch n base has caused more freak
plays than any other feature Of base
ball
Such situation has been the
cause of scores of letters ! have re-
ccivcd during the past month"; A
well meaning expert created the
play that has caused all the trouble
Tho utter impossibiIity Of answer
ing all the letters causes me to take
this method to clear up the dispute.
HE tAIEki ENkS
In a magazine article featuring
freak plays in baseball, the we'll
meaning expert had me as the au-
thorty for a rather unusual hap
pening.
According to the article the play
came up in a big league game in
which officiatcd. Possibly my name
connected with the play gave it II
tone of authority. However. the
play described was all foreign to me
While approaching the fact that
was given space in the article,
unfortunately for me, the author Of
same answered the question direct
~ contrary TO the way would have

my angle.
Despite the fact that no play like

The puzzle feature of the play
hinged on whether or not rum tina,

UNUSUAL PLAY
This was the play. With run.

The question was, did the runuc
who crossed the plate from third
score? The article quoted me a

the runner who failed to touch frs

he neglected that formality an,
therefore was the second out.
.eOf course that wasn't SO. On
failure to touch base, the rune

allow the run to score on the play,
still TO do so would be contrary to
a strict Interpretation Of the rule.
The rule relative to the scoring Of
runs. specifically statos that no
run can score on a play in which the
third out is a force or play in
which the batSman fails to reach
first.
A bone" play on the part of the
batsman who actually reached sec
ond on the base hit, created the
situation
Since he failed to touch first base
on his way to second. he never
actually became the occupant Of
first base. When the ball was
thrown to that base. it made the
third out of the inning on a play in
which the batter failed to reach
first.
The rules state that a run cannot
score on such play. It's a tough
break for the team at bat but a
