Thus It is that ono of Ontario's

Tho startling statement Is made
by tho United States Commissioner
of Education, P. P. Claxton, that half
of tho teachers In tho schools of
Amorlca today arc imdor pur. That
means then that Iialf of tho pupils of
Amorlca aro receiving less than an
avcrngo standnrd of Instruction.
Cortnlnly that Is a galling admis

What Is truo of tho country iih n

measures aro taken to recognize tho

In May tho voters of Orogon will
determine whether or not the Insti

bo solved hy tho vote on tho mlltoago

It Ih tp tho Hliaino and discredit of
tho public that it permitted Its teach

dl Coach of Beauty
dldorns This Silent Chalmers
THE fine craftsmanship of coach building turned itself loose
in this new appearing Chalmers. You observe a high
front line and a low rear line, which a well known artist
has said is the way a car should look.
You find nothing severe, however, about this Chalmers. It
has a new elegance, a new grace; and yet a quiet reserve distill'
guishes the oar from others.
Particularly .' . this appeal to you after you've been seated
and touch youru-ot to the accelerator.
The silent How of power, the notable harmony, the case of
the engine engage you. '
And again you pay a compliment to Hot Spot and Ram's
horn, which tackle the low grade gas of the day and make it
perform.
Thus the beauty which the eye sees is enhanced by the
beauty of action of its master engine; and you, too, say with so
many others that Chalmers surely is one of the few great cars
of the world.

It's Like Finding Money'
says the Good Judge
When you take a little
chew of this real quality
tobacco, and the good
tobacco taste begins to
come.
You'll find it keeps com
ing, too. The rich to
bacco taste lasts and
lasts. You don't have
to take a fresh chew so
often. Any man who
uses the Real Tobacco
Chew will tell you that.
