The object of the bill is to consolidate the educational facilities of the country districts, eliminating many of the school houses and thereby concentrating education in given districts with better school houses, higher paid teachers, and consequently better education. This would be brought about, it is argued by adhisrents of this bill, by bringing the children to the eohool house instead of the school house to the children.

IT pays in the first place to make sure that the battery you put your money down for has the "Thread Rubber" Trade Mark stamped on the side. Then bring that battery here to have it registered, and after that make a point of stopping in once in two weeks for inspection and test. You cannot keep on getting first class service even from a Still Better Willard unless you htep it charged and put in water when needed.

BUILT IN ELVE CUSTOM BODY MOpES

Enduring Beauty That Only a Coach Finish Can Give A month in the paint shopl That amount of time is profitably speniin imparting a custom coach finish to the custom-styled bodyf the National Sextet. And because that body progresses, sidy and systematically, through twenty-four distinct finishing ferations, the Sextet's color and its lustre withstand the punisment of sun and rain, of winter's cold and engine heat. Time and its careful employment, in fa are the most essential elements in the fine finish of this fine, siart, low car. It takes time to apply paint and varn& with a brush. Haste would minimize the skill of hands tkt spread each coat so deftly and so evenly. It takes time to dry this paint and varish in oveis where both the heat and the humidity are accuratly controJed. Yet such thorough drying alone can give to th finish of tn automobile body both that metallic hardness whicfciakes forrndurance and the elasticity to .withstand expansiorand contaction due to seasonal changes in temperature. It takes time, too, to rub out by handvery hairfine ripple and leave the body surface glassy smooth Sextet bodies, of course, are sand-bted befoc painting and only the finest pigments, oils and vakhes are ?sed. Each operation is performed by cfcrienced craftsmen, who have become proficient in their indidual task through specialization in the one and only opcran for whih they are held

accountable for perfection.

The adage of the old copy books me preous is all very well, but in every department of th National ketones, quality and the satisfaction born of it have11 a highr rating. The time taken in making the Natal Sextetine has endowed this car with an excellence that sucsfully cHlIenges time.
