Mrs. Brackinreed addressed the children In the various schools during the week, explaining the work of the society and the pressing needs of the French people, laying stress upon the debt of gratitude which this country owes to France for assistance ren dered during the Revolutionary war.

Chalmers 7-Passenger Touring Car Price $1350 Detroit Choose a as You Do Compare two watches. They may look exactly alike. They mcy be equal in diameter and thickness. They mcy weigh the same. Perhaps your eye can't distin tuish any difference between the gold in the two. One may scein to keep as good time SJ the other. Big Differences There Yet there may be a vast difference. One may be a Tiffany Swiss and the other a non-dcacript If you trust only to an off hand examination you may make a bad mistake in your choice. True of Automobiles The same is true of automobiles. Some other car may closely resemble a Chalmers. It may weigh about the same. Have about the same wheel base. The paint may look more or less alike at first glance. 4 Yet there may be a vast difference. Differences you can discover only by the closest scrutiny and com parison. Go Deep If you are to get the correct idea of the Chalmers, you must ro beneath the surface. There the big, important differences lie. Differences in materials. Differences in methods of building. Differences in quality of workmanship. To look only at the exterior of the Chalmors you wouldn't discover that the gears and shafts of the transmission are of crucible nickel steel, case hardened and carefully heat treated. All of the above means quality the kind of quality yoa need in the car you buy, and the kind of quality you CET in the Chalmers. passerigcr $1350 Touring Sedan, 7 -passenger . $185C Limousine, 7-passengcr passenger 1250 Roadster 3 -passenger 1 250 Town Car, 7 -passenger (All prices Lob.

Campbell, for the past twenty years one of the leading authorities in Amcricu on soil tillage, will lecture nt the armory in Medford next Mon day night. Mr. Campbell will discuss the most important principles in volved in funning in regions where tho rainfall is not sufficient to pro duce maximum crops by the usual methods of farming. His lecture will he of sneciul interest nnd value to those who do not have irrigation. It will, however, he of value to all far mers, ns ninny of the subjects dis cussed are fundamental in nil types of farming. Mr. Campbell's lecture will be a startling one to many, ns his methods of dry farming differ radically in some respects from those commonly practiced. Mr. Campbell's work has been car ried on principally in the driest re gions immediately east of the Rocky mountains. There he lias produced startling results and has had a nota ble influence on methods of dry funning. He is the inventor of the surface packer, an implement which is now extensively used on the loose, dry Chalmers a Watch Solid One-Piece Shaft You wouldn't discover that the crankshaft is a single sturdy shaft of drop-forged heat-treated carbon steel. Nor would you discover that the Chalmers pis tons are die cast from Lynite, a special aluminum alloy and weigh only 12 ounces each. Deep-Lying Differences To glance at the body you wouldn't realize that the body frame is built with such great care from select ash. That this is covered by one-piece, welded sheet steel. Nor that the springs in the upholstery are of an extra ordinary spring steel. Nor that the frame of the chassis is of carbon steel, S Inches deep and of an inch thick. With flanges 2 J inches wide. And with three strong cross members and reinforcing plates. Be Deliberate So when you examine the Chalmers don't look hasti ly. That's unfair to the car and unfair to yourself. Some things you don't realise when you glance nt the 7 -passenger Chalmers: . 12 j-ounce Lynite ptMtons. Crankshaft balanced while in motion. Cylinder and crank case cast in a unit, Timken axles built to Chalmers design Economical intake manifold. Chrome nickel driving shaft. Nickel steel differential gears heat-treated to secure hardness and toughness. And many other important points of superior ity. CLOSEDBY MEASLES Owing to the rapid spread of mea sles during the past week, the local board of health have deemed It ad visable to close the Lincoln school for a period ol two weeks. It Is requested that during that period, children who kaji't been at tending this school shall Mnaln away from the play grounds) jJfj the other schools of the city. Al'so, it Is re quested that they do (riot visit the public library, moving picture theat ers, churches, Sunday schools or any indoor gatherings. j ii j It is hoped that parents will co operate with the board! bf health In seeing that these requests; ire carried out. I il? soils of the plains region. His lec ture will deal primarily with methods of preparing and cultivating soils, and seeding. He places special stress m using small quantities of seed, recom mending in some cases as low as 20 pounds of wheat per acre, and far less seed com than is generally used. While Mr. Campbell's - lecture ap- i plies particularly to the loose mello, soils, many of his recommendations will also be of great vulue to farmers on our heavy soils. Every rancher in this country shonll make a special effort to at tend this lecture. ( , , $2550 2550 I' ''(
