CHEVROLET ECONOMICAL CAR M a iR ich a rd so n of Snowflake, Ariz., claims an economy record for touring in a Chevrolet car. The day he was discharged from the army Ir. Richardson purchased his first automobile, a Chevrolet 4-90. Next ^ay he started on a trip from Hol brook to Salt Lake City, with a complete camping outfit and three passengers.

The return trip was made by way of Nevada, over some of the por- est roads to be found in the west, at a total expense of $12. According to Mr. Richardson, he covered about 3000 miles of the poorest roads Nevada, Utah and Arizona have to offer, averaging al most 24 miles to the gallon anil more than 1000 miles per gallon on oil. The original tires ^made the round trip and are still good. S H E W A N T E D TO K N O W . The doctor ran down an old man while crossing a street, lie took the man to the nearest hospital and found upon examination no serious injuries. He left him in charge of a nurse for a few days. Upon his next morning visit to his patient a well-dressed young woman of comely appearance was in the room. “ Tlnw do you find him this morning, doctor?” said she. “ Oh, he’s all right,” said the doctor. “ What he needed most was a good bath and a good cleaning up.” “ Well,” said she, “ he’s mv father and of course I wanted to know.” t Willamette University, located at Salem, is one of the oldest denominational schools in the country, has a magnificent rec ord of achievement and has given to the world many men and women of strong character who have contributed and are coiuriuulliig to the best prog ress of the nation’s life— espe cially of the Northwest. Willamette exists for but one purpose—to educate men and women fully, in a Christian way, and to send them out into the world to help make It better. That is what it has been doing for 75 years and what it will continue to do on a larger scale. Willamette now needs the re habilitation of Waller hall, par tially destroyed by fire last De cember, and completion of Lau sanne hall, the former for men and the latter as a dormitory for women. A central heating plant is also required. Laymen of the Oregon confer ence have set out to rai. v $100,- 000 for this purpose. Confident that the old school is entitled to even more than this amount, they will canvass the state about next week. To what bet ter investment could money be put?

It means the Maxwell car soon to be awarded in the Folk Coun ty Fost's subscription campaign is now really worth $1330.00, whereas it has been advertised as having a value of only $1230.00. Surely this will be good news to all who are striving to win the car. To the winner it will be like picking up $100.00 in the road. !
