Win S1OO Prize

We wish to call attention of our
readers to the announcement of the
Morgan County Chevrolet company
elsewhere in this paper The COM
pany is to change it's name and is
offering 500 for new name. The
change in name is brought about
from the fact that it is against the
policy of the Chevrolet company to
use as their name that of mu-
nicipality, county or state. AS the
name is at present, it might seem to
indicate that the local corporation
is a part of, or that the county has
some connection or interest in it.
Think of a new and fitting name
for this company, and if it is adopt
ed, you get the 500.

BY JUDGE G. A. MAXWELL

was held Friday evening at the Ken
nebec hotel. He took as his SUD-
iect aSlackers. suggested by the
armistice which was signed l6 years
ago. He developed the point tha'
while we had slackers at that time
who refused to serve their country
and who had many excuses Ioi
so doing, we have many types OF
slackers now. He spoke Of the
slackers today who can, but won
nav their taxes, and that in SO re-
fusing they are responsible in a de-
gree for the closing of SCHOOLS De-
cause of lack of funds. These are
slackers Just as truly as those who
refused to fight during the war
The speaker also spoke of those VINO
make excuses for not doing jury
service. He stated that when ne
was on the bench, in choosing Jur-
ors it was hard to get them; tha'
those who were really fit and COM
petent for jury service, offered ex-
cuses. All such he termed slackers.
Parents he stated often are slack
ers toward their children, In not
giving them the right sort Of tram
ing especially along religious lines
Tt was splendid, we'll rounded,
practical address, and impresslveiy
delivered. Judge Turnbaugh OF
Cambridge, who was announced 10
sneak could not be present because
OF official duties, in connectlon
with the Muskingum conservancy
district project. He will likely ap-
pear later.
