- Automobiles - February 27, 1920. Dear Sir: The quality of an au-’ tomoblle is always more Important than its first cost. I It is Impossible to obtain maximum service from a minimum price. The only true economy is the economy of quality. The Infinite care of manufacture, the costliness of materials, the skill of workmen and the facilities of the maker are what determine the real merit and price of any car. In the Essex there is to be found the luxury and quality of the most costly cars combined with the mod- ( erate price and minimum depreciation and upkeep. It occupies a field never before filled by any car. In buying an Essex you are looking beyond the day and hour of your purchase toward the many days when its sturdy fineness will become persistently apparent.. | Not enough Essex can be built this year to supply the demand. It is only by acting now that you can guard against delays In delivery. Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

The first diploma grade examination will be given on the third Saturday in March (Meh. *2O). There are more in the graduating class this year than usual. At present there are 170 enrolled in the eighth grade. These are distributed as follows: Barkley 28, Carpenter 6, Gillam 19, Hanging Grove 7, Jordan 10, Kankakee 10, Keener 21, Marion 15, Milroy 6,, Newton 5, Union 20, Walker 12, Wheatfield 12. The West Vernon school in Gillam was closed for a week last month on account of the flu. The attendance in Gillam township has been running at about half for several weeks on account of sickness. A peculiar situation is developing at the South Marion Consolidated. Two teachers handle the eight grades at this school. The present enrollment shows 40 ipupils in each room with splendid prospects of several additions to these numbers. It has begun to look as though an extra room will be needed already and yet that school is not more than four years old. Walter Seegrist of near Tefft has consented to teach at Demotte during the present shortage. It has been very difficult to secure a teacher to take the place of Miss Marie Nevill, who resigned there a few weeks ago. The local minister substituted for several days. Mr. Seegrist is a graduate of the Rensselaer high school and also of Purduie university. The next teachers’ examination will be given Meh. 27. Returns front state department have not arrived for the January examination. It is very likely that all who were not notified of conditions and failures' will get a license from there within a few days. It is very advisable that all experienced teachers license themselves at state this year. The examinations are running much simpler in most subjects than for years. Possibly this is one device to secure more teachers the conning year. Township institutes were held at Rensselaer, Fair Oaks, Center in Barkley, Center in Milroy last Saturday. Reports to successor and term reports are being distributed already. This is a sign of school endings. Schools in Union, Barkley and Milroy townships will have a seven months term and close in five weeks.

Washington, Feb. 27.—Tilman Ray Cross, age twenty-nine, husband of Belle Cross and father of one-year-old Billie Cross, who froze to death In the family’s shack in the White river bottom?

tory. He pleaded guilty on a chaise of neglecting his family and said after being sentenced that the court did right in sending him to prison. Cross was trying to keep his family in an abandoned shack in the bottoms over winter.
