ness by combining an effective adver-
tising campaign with well-planned
program of construction of concrete
highways, north and south, east and
west, to make it possible for visitors to
get to any part of Michigan in any
kind of weather any time of the year.
The plan quickly brought big returns.
Wisconsin also has developed tourist
income more than twice as great as
Minnesota's. Wisconsin, like Michigan
has not confined its paving to east and
west routes, but is making rapid pro-
gress in extending the concrete high
ways into the northern sections of the
state where vacation travellers like to
go. Recent completion of concrete
super-highway from Chicago to Mil
waukee is expected to bring many more
tourist dollars into the Badger state.
Wisconsin, too, is finding concrete high
ways a good investment.
Minnesota got an early start in the
tourist business by advertising its Ten
Thousand Lakes and building good
gravel roads leading to them. But as
traffic grew, concrete roads became
necessary and other states built them
faster than we did, thereby developing
tourist incomes much greater than ours.
Minnesota has made good progress in
paving where necessary to take care of
existing traffic, mostly east and west
routes, but it has done little in paving
north and south routes to attract new
business. Two or three concrete high
ways from the Iowa line to the nor
thern parts of the state would bring
millions of dollars to the state. Tourists
follow the concrete, for while other |
roads may be good part of the time,
they know concrete will be good every |
day in all weather.

Hanley Falls-The street where old
friends meet" brought both joy and
sorrow to A. E. Anderson who was
happy to see an acquaintance and then
went to bed with an injured hip. An
derson, a Cottonwood insurance man,
met an old friend in Marshall Both

one another's hands, as old friends do,
they gave each other a hearty hand
shake and then followed that with a
good natured pull. Their hands slipped
and Mr.. Anderson fell backwards with
the result that he had to be confined
to his bed with an injured hgament.

latest campaign for Blue SunOco is a
striking reflection of this policy Of
news in advertising. You see, we knew
that Blue Sunoco was preferred by the
better class of motorists just watch
ing the type Of cars stopping at any
Sunoco Service Station would soon con
vince anyone of this. And, in addi-
ton, we knew that information such
as this was in a class of interesting,
timely news for all motorists. Our
only problem was that of making our
statements factual, instead of rather
general claims.
GAS a result, we asked an entirely
Independent organization to get in
touch with approximately twenty-five
thousand motorists, all purchasers of
new cars since last September, and
learn their motor fuel preference. You
see, we figured that new car owners
are most particular of all, and what
satisfies them would be equally salts
factory in older cars.
Before this survey was completed,
24,7 motorists were contacted. These
men and women lived in one hundred
and forty cities in fourteen different
states. The replies from these exper-
fenced drivers ranked Blue Sunoco
first by $3.50 more votes than the
next highest gasoline and gave Blue
Sunoco $50 as many votes as the next
two gasolines. These motorists also
reported that they were driving twen-
ty-two different makes of cars and
gave Blue Sunoco preference even ov-
er extra priced gasolines.
'"They gave many reasons for choos-
ing Blue Sunoco. Fast acceleration,
power on hills, quick starting, knock
less qualities, long mileage, regular
ga price, only one quality and it's pur-
ity were the leading points. Details
such as these are the keystone of our
latest newspaper campaign which is
now being released-all built around
newsworthy facts"

between him and the Lord who stood
above. 81
Those angels were heavenly mes
sengers that bore back and forth the
thoughts of that communion between
God and Jacob, as though those fast
fleeting white-winged angels were
the very thoughts themselves.
For after all, our thoughts are as
angels, especially when they take on
the breath of prayer. They fly forth
from our minds as do white-winged
angels from before the Throne of God,
fastening forth upon their mission Of
love and blessing. 1t may be that
they are hurrying on wing to some
precious soul far up in the mountains
to whom they have been sent to min
lister blessings.
Or it may be that they are rushing
forth to turn about an unfavorable
wind for some distressed mariner. far
out upon the sea.
And is it not by these ascending
thoughts, as on the wings of angels,
that we ourselves are carried into the
presence of the invisible King?

1t is thought that we commune with
God. We open the Scriptures and read
of His thoughts to usward. We kneel
and pray and tell Him of our love
and dependence. And while we are
yet speaking, He speaks to our souls
in the thoughts that He sends us.
How significant of Divine commun-
ion is the experience that Jacob had
when he lay asleep under the brilliant
stars and dreamed of ladder reach

of God were ascending and descending

During the past year Miss Pearl Weaver, our
county health nurse whose services for the past
year have been given to the county by the state
and federal government as 9 Unconstitutional
project to show the Importance and value Of
such service in the county, has proven concrete
" the fact that such a department is badly
needed
To support full-time unit in the tri-counties,
Dr. Fox estimates that the cost will run around
$4,000 per year for Ashe, which is only about
ne-ninth of the total cost. Undoubtedly it
would be splendid thing if Ashe could have
this service, and we urge that our commissions
ers make every effort to provide for it as soon
as possible. We hope that finances will permit
the establishment of such department with
our neighboring counties this year, but if the
budget, which is already heavily loaded under
the present valuation basis, will not permit,
we recommend that the services of Miss Weaver
be retained for another year, at the end of
which time, make positive effort to start the
full-tme health department.
Good health is priceless asset.

VICTORY FOR CHRISTIANITY

The spirit of Christianity certainly won a
great victory in America when the uni6cation
plan of the Methodist churches received final
approval at the General Conference Of the
Southern Methodist in Birmingham last Friday
For ninety-four years the Northern and
Southern Methodist have been separated and
for churches of the same denomination in the
same country to be divided and not work in
peace and harmony with each other, doesn't APP
peal to us as being Christ-like, neither does it
indicate much religious tolerance.
The question of slavery was vital issue and
there were were good points on both sides, but
it has been long time since the last gun was
fired in the Civil War and we are gratifed that
at last the spirit Of Christ has won out over the
prejudices and infrmities of humanity and that
100000 Methodists have joined hands and are
now united under one banner. -
A good deal of progress has been made dur
ing these 1888 years since the birth of the Sa-
viour, but in every nook and corner of the world
today there is an increasingly great challenge
to Christianity Wars, hatred, bitterness, lusts
for power, greed and selfshness are still driving
men to engage in pursuits that may cause uni
versal calamity and the only safeguard is be-
lief in God through the church.
The Methodists have truly started revival
which we hope will not only prove to be most
successful for that denomination, but also that
the spirit of this revival will spread into indi-
vidual churches other denominations and
throughout the world.
