CHRYSLER HITS POPULARITY WAVE Prom the moment of their introduction woven weeks ago, public interest anti enthusiasm over the new Chrysler cars—the “75”, the ’'6s" and the Plymouth have run high, says J. W. Frazer, Chrysler and Plymouth sales manager. “Even Chrysler’s past experience of warm-hearted welcome of earlier models contains nothing to approach the present demonstration of public favor,” he declares. "When the cars were put on display, sales rooms were immediately crowded with buyers enthusiastic over the ‘new style that re-styies all motor cars,’ as the now Chrysler '7s’ and ‘’s" lines and developments have been aptly termed —and 'the greatest dollar value in the lowest priced field,’ as represented by Plymouth. “But even this earlier interest, unusual though it was in size and heartiness, was exceeded as a result of more and more of the new Chryslers making their appearance on the streets. There the strong contrast of their original and distinctive lines with ordinary body fashions every section of the country are reporting new July records made for deliveries, and the prospects of exceeding even these high marks for August. For instance, in Detroit—center of trfe industry — Chrysler out-registered in July all save two other makes—cars of much lower average price than Chrysler. Nearly 1000 cars—a 25 per cent increase over the previous best —were registered. "Dealers everywhere are reporting that their ability to deliver cars to owners is limited only by the factory’s ability to supply cars. It is of interest, therefore, to Chrysler buyers as well as to dealers to learn that Chrysler has just set a new- high record for production of 1321 cars in one day—a feat made even more remarkable when it is realized that Chrysler cars are built to a standard that insists upon quality before mere numbers, and does not permit any car to be shipped which does not measure up fully to the inflexible demands of Chrysler Standardized Quality.” When Canary KThtts Canaries renew tlieir feathers once k year.

By French Quinn . Perhaps a philosopher, philosophizing as is his want, might reason thus: "man is of few days and full of trouble,” and add — “what do folks amount to anyway?" A babe is born and years are added to his little history, he dies grey bearded and ’tis as a stone east into a placid pool, the tiny wavelets soon disappear and all is quiet again. We humbly do not subscribe to such reasoning. The quotation stated, that he tnigh have philosphoically used, meant something else althogether. Man is of some consequence. 1 On August 28, in the Year 1805 One hundred and twenty-three years ago, four short years before Abraham < Lincoln's birth —and he was of some consequence — one Samuel L. Rugg was born. Down in Oneida county in the state of New York this event happened and then and there started something that has had a profound I influence on some of us and others of

us who live in the capital of Adams county, Indiana. Samuel was a genius. He was am biHons, a worker and a student, and be was most certainly one with a vision. Untjl 1832, Samuel did one thing and another but in 1832 Indiana claimed him as her own. Samuel had grit, individuality, persuasion and great executive ability. He could out singe the birds and talk all negation into positiveness. He was irresistable and unresisted. He ha dvision and his favorite sentence was. “Come on boys.” He landed in Allen county, intending there to stay.’but that county was to crowded. To the south of him was a stretch of territory that was without home or nome or mother. That appealed to Samuel. Forthwith he waded streams, forded inland lakes, traversed the wilderness and reached Indianapolis. Indianapolis had authority those days like unto that of this day. He told those fellows there convincingly that

he wanted to mother, name and Inhabit certain territory and as advance Information he wanted that county named Adams county. They agreed. He got his county. He journey back and marked his responsibility by length and breath and put up his stake. Now. he had a county, named to be sure but no more capital than a rabbit. Confidently he picked a spot, felt satisfied with the location. Others felt satisfied also because, you know. Samuel was satisfied. What to name the blamed thing might have puzzled some. Not Samuel however. It was easy as easy could be for him. Was he not born In IXOS, that gallant year when Stephen Decatur made his brilliant exploit in far off Tripoli'.’ Who dared he forced ahead of Stephrii in heroic lore, less it be John Paul ’Jones? Be It remembered that Samuel in company with all of America for three decades from 18(15 rated Decatur far ahead of that John Paul, ahead of Caesar or Napoleon and felt perhaps that he rushed the "Father of his country" for first place. Samvel was a Stephen Decatur enthusiast. Decatur to him was magic word, that had power within itself. Decatur was the kind of reh-blooded American that Samuel insisted than who none better had existed or would exist ami whose name was a first class complete and endurable synonym for everything

that was the last word in all the virtues’ Samuel all along had said so. The welkin rang with the knowledge of his preference. Without the slight est hesltatlonlhen he named the baby, spanked it too. perhaps between times, for Ills love was of a sternness, it may bo Mid. For eighteen long years Samuel did double duty as his county's clerk and recorder and then to some extent he weaned the youngster and branched out a little in helping Indi amt find herself. He was a state senator. was the first superintendent of public Instruction and did wonderful work those years. He found time to promote the Cincinnati. Richmond and Fort Wayne railroad, to promote the Decatur and Fort Wayne plank road, mid be it remembered that in his generosity he gave Decatur its public building sites, whooped up anything that needed whooping up and claimed always that Decatur was right, would be right, was named right, now and forever, amen. Samuel passed away after all this life of instense activity on the 2Stli day of March in the year IX7I, the r of Adams county alothe b- tatlie father of the county of Adams in the state of Imilana and of its capita). Samuel L. Ragg was a worthy man. one whom it is not only a duty but a t..v to honor and remember.
