CALLS SECRETARY A LIAR
Gilmore, so

Carl, Estes, youthful editor of the Courier at Tyler, Texas called on Secretary Work and called the Secretary a liar after Work had called him one. The row started over the survey of Ouichita nation al Park in Arkansas, near the Texas border. Estes had asked Work for another survey of the proposed park. Work defended the survey already made and Estes said that an honest survey had never been made.
 If you say that the survey was dishonest you are liar, Work said according to Estes. If you say we had an honest survey, you are a liar," Estes retorted. Work push ed buzzer buttons to call in his help and Estes went his way back to Texas.
 Estes, a veteran of the World War had been ''shot to pieces" and had his ribs reinforced by steel plates. He is about 30 years old and has been operated on IT times since the world war.

What Will The Council Do?


 The Petersburg Marine Ways, and other citizens down south Petersburg have been protesting payment ol their taxes because no value has been received as they understood would be granted if they entered the corporate limits of Petersburg; End, because they feel that their taxes is out of proportion to that paid by other concerns and residents further up town.
 The City Clerk under direction of the Town Council has filed action against said properties to compel payment for the taxes of the past year. Fair and just, some say. Some are non-committal, others just don't care a continental. But hold.
 The Petersburg Herald by under standing with the then City Council City Clerk and other officers more or less interested, directly and it., directly, remitted the tax assess ment and fines against said plant after the taxes had amounted 10

Something About
 Taxes

The city council Is empowered to levy, assess and collect taxes not to exceed two percent of the assess ed value of property assessed.

 We do not find anywhere in the Session Laws provision for the non payment of delinquent taxes by the Petersburg Press. Can you?

WOLL TAKES
MESSAGE TO
MORE UNIONS
Continues Addresses to In
ternatiOnal Conventions,
Meeting With Molders as
Latest Move i'm Great
Speaking Campaign.

Washington, d. c. I. L. N. ST.
Matthew Woll, president of the I'M
ion Labor Life Insurance Company,
continues his record-breaking speak
ing tour, carrying the message of his
company to international unions in
convention.
During the last week he addressed
two conventions, the latest having
been that of the International Mold
ers' Union Of North America, meeting
in Montreal
The plan of organization was ex-
planned, the form of policies made
plain to the delegates and the bene-
fits of group insurance, as well as the
necessity for individual policies de
scribed to the gathering presided over
by NJ. j. Keough.
Mr.. Woll will continue this practice
of addressing international union CON
ventions, furthering the interests Of
the company in which the entire trade
uiioH HloNeHieHt Is Interested, until II
is time to depart for the convention
of the American Federation of Labor
in New Orleans in mid November.
AT the company's headquarters it
is reported that the volume of bust
ness continues in more than satisfac-
tory manner, showing the receptive
ness of trade unionists to the protec-
tion offered by their own company.
The work of organizing the various
states under general agencies, with
adequate soliciting forces is contin-
uing as rapidly as possible and the
company is now far in advance of the
stage reached by any life insurance
company in so short a time.

has set such -aigh standard OF per-
formance that it is accorded the
quality leadership in the American
hight car field.
In addition to the special tests that
were made the Whippet also has es-
tabliShed an unsual performance re-
cord in the hands OF more than $50,
600 owners who have proven the
Whippet stamina, speed, power and
economy OF operation over a combined
total OF a half billion miles OF travel.
The following are cited as a few
of the outstanding accomplishments
of the Whippet:
Ten thousand persons saw Whip
pet climb the trackleSs stone mountain
near Atlanta, Ga. The Whippet was
The first light car to accomplish the
climb. Only three cars have ever made
the grade, the other two being much
larger and more expensive automobiles.
Travelling 1845 miles from Canada
to Mexico a Whippet averaged 1913
miles to the gallon OF gasoline.
A Whippet few weeks ago broke
all existing records for climbing the
difficult Mount Diablo in California,
negotiating 1.-The steep, curved grade,
HIP miles, in 29 minutes, six seconds.
Travelling in second gear only, a
Whippet covered 1875 miles in four
hours, three minutes, averaging 1888
miles an hour. A similar performance
in second gear over a 467 mile course
from Los Angeles to San Francisco
set an average of 2736 miles an hour.

CHRYSLER CUTS
PRICES ON TWO
OF ITS MODELS

Prices that will prevail on certain
lines Of the Chrysler output have been
received by j. T. Hood, Douglas agent,
and they are he believes, a most re-
markable stroke on the part OF the
Chrysler toward the making of an
other great year for that company.
The reductions range from $55 to 500.
Concerning them, Mr.. Hood yester-
day declared that he now felt posi-
tive that he has mis- biggest year OF
business ahead OF him.
Substantial savings in the prices
of the new Chrysler $50" and Great
New '62' effective January TO- said
Hood
The new prices made various body
styles of these two cars from $50 to
$1O0 lower than heretofore.
The new "52" factory list prices,
together with the savings, are:
Roadster, with Rumble Seat), S670,
saving $55; coupe, $67O, savings $55;
two-door sedan, $67O, savings, $55;

sedan, S720, savings, S75; de luxe
coupe, $72O, savings, $75 and de luxe
sedan, S79O, savings, $85.
"The So has unusually roomy and
comfortable wood and steel bodies,
larger than for any other car in the
low price field, and combines with
these features a remarkable perform
ance capacity.
"The great new 60 includes feat
ures also not found in any other car
at either it's new or previous prices
Foremost among these are rubber
shock insulators pioneered in the
Chrysler Imperial "80"-Invar Strut
pistons and the seven bearing crank
shaft engine.
Economics in manufacture Incl
dent to Chrysler's strong growth, and
the further advancement OF the COM
pany's widely known principle con-
tribute to make possible these
greater values to the public.
During the year 1927 the Company
advanced to third place among all
manufacturers in the sales records OF
the National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce. Its growth has been the
most rapid OF any single company in
the history OF the automotive in
duStry."
