Edwards from j the teacher of a French orphan adopt. ed by Mrs. Edwards' class of girls of i her music class and of the Presbyter- 1 lan Sunday school. It expresses the I spirit in which the benefactions of; America are received by the French , people. "Dear Mrs. Edwards: "I am Mary Louise's teacher and 1 1 am commissioned to write you this time. You should have received the first which we sent you acknowledg ing the receipt of your precious mon ey. I say 'precious money' because ! Mary Louise Is not rich and the mon ey means much to her. I thought she would return to school this year. Her grandmother came the other day and told me that she would stay ' where she is working the rest of the i year. I regret this very much as she is a good girl, very pleasant and in- i telligent. Certainly she should have obtained a place where she could ' have continued her studies. Unfor-' tunately she Is not rich enough to go to High School and she works hard to earn her living. Her mother died j before the war. She was still young, WE HAVE CAMS Which will arrive in this city during the week. The price delivered, is PER. T Ochdco O N Co. Now Big Car Owners In it They Find Wanted Large Car Qualities, with Advantages Exclus- i ive to Small Cars. Turn to Essex Consider how many, who formerly bought only large, high priced cars, now own an Ess -x. It proves that size was not what they sought. They paid big premiums t(.r qualities that uall cars did not offer. These are people with wide motor experience. They prize such light car advantages as economy and nimbleness. But heretofore, only larg, costly cars, met their other requirements of performance, riding ease and appearance. Now They Buy the Essex And they are chief among Essex enthusiasts.

Men Inevitably ook comparison for Essex qualities among :ha high priced cars. There only, do they fl d par allels by which to describe it. They mutch Its acceleration against c rlaln makers noted for that quality. IU spied they compare to the iwlftext. Every community hue Its storv of how the Essex, "in high," tops some local "bogy" hill. And now that it has become so well ki own, men are making It the performance standard. It Is not unusual to hear some say of a high priced cur they admire: "Why, it climbs I kn an Essex," or "It gets away nt crosxlngn wlih the Essex cars." Examine the Essex Ride in It Your f rst glance will not note the ill.tlncKve finish, the materials and workmanship. Fee the care even in the smallest details.

Both she and I were very happy. j The gifts you have made her have not been misplaced, and for a Christ mas present, you should send hex something useful and practical. That would be the most welcome, for she has only the necessities, not to say the lndispenslbles ot life.
