iMie football season winds up with
a few appropriate flourishes on
the J'ae fic coast within the next
fortnight. The east-west fray,
assuming something of the pro
portions of an a 1 1-American con
vention, will revive this Satui- j
day the argument that Stanfoiti j

The all-star game at San Fran
cisco, played for the benefit of
the Shriners hospital for crippled'
children, is of more than usual j
interest as a test between the tal- ;
ent of the east and west, who.
will clash head-on in spite of all I
that Kipling had to say about it. j
Howard Harpster of Carnegie
the east's -greatest quarterback, j
will direct the eastern attack, !
which not only hopes to offset
the sting of several well known'
Idefeats this year, but turn the i
! tables on the west for the f Irst i
(time in this all-star event. The j
i east has been marshaling its ;
forces at the Golden Gale for the;
past three years without a : vie- j

Here Is How Dad Found
the Used Car for a
Family Present
Dad could scarcely afford a new car, but ho
had promised himself faithfully to get the fam
ily an A No. 1 used car. He know there were
many in town, but how to find the owner
was a problem .until he thought of a
Want Ad. Imagine his surprise to find the
first insertion brought him six satisfactory
prospects. Needles to say the family got a
good one.
Our Want Ads have a reputation for reliabil
ity. They are read by dependable, responsible
buyers and sellers who have learned long since
of tliJif many opportunities.
Buying a car is just one of a hundred tested
uses. The Want Ad habit is one of the best
you can acquire, either in business or social
wants.
