Entered at the poetottlce In Decatur, Indiana, as second claae salt Well, no difference who Is elected mayor of Indianapolis, the citizens of that place have the assurance that he i will be a better average than the I present incumbent J. Fred France, clerk of the supreme court, has written friends that he will be a candidate for re-election. For thirty years it has been the custom to give that official the nomination for a second term. Mr. France has made good as a public official and his many friends here, his old home, will “pull” for him as hard as they can. Mrs. Fred McCullough is known as the “fly-woman” of Fort Wayne, because of the crusade she has led ' against the house fly. She has or ganized that city into a fly-killing brigade and it will soon be known as the flyless city. She has now branched out and is delivering addresses in the cities of the Twelfth district, and with good success. She has secured the co-operation of the children by offering prizes and her work has been quite wonderful, showing what one , person can do when they have deter- • mination and sticktuitivenesa. — The offer of George E. Kessler, the \ noted landscape architect, to the Fort Wayne park board, is a particularly' gracious one. When informed that the board would not renew its contract with Mr. Kessler for another year because all available funds would be needed in repairing flood damage and developing parks already in existence, Mr. Kessler very promptly volunteers to continue his services to the city without financial compensation under the circumstances. The gifted landscape wizard is demonstrating that he is infinitely more interesten in seeing Fort Wayne made a beautiful city than in the money he is going to get out of advising us how it ought to be done. —Fort Wayne Sentinel.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A CAR THAT FITS THE PRICE OR ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A PRICE THAT FITS THE CAR In the manufacture of Buick cars the first question has never been given the least consideration for Buick cars are made to give perfect satisfaction and unlimited service instead of to put them upon the market for rapid sales. There is a wide difference in the answers To these’two questions. In the first one the car has been made to fit the price. In other words the price was first established and then the manufacturer has gone upon the market and bought such kinds of material as he could secure at prices he could then afford to put in his car and make a profit. Buick Prices Fit The Car M Ever since the turn of the first wheel in the great Buick plant at Flint Mich. It has always been their policy to first build their car and then establish a fair price upon same. This method enables them to first go out upon the market and buy the very best material they can secure. They can buy the first grade in every thing. After they have built their car they can then place a prfee upon M same that is a guarantee to the purchaser that he is getting the very best his D money can secure and further he is getting the very best that the market of today affords.
