SPEEDING AUTO WlNs ■ RACE AGAINST DEATH > * - Roaring through the mountains of Fennimore Cooper's Leatherstocking country, over roads made treacherous by sharp curves * and a slippery glare of ice and snow, a Chrysler Imperial “80” coupe one night late in January raced 150 miles against death for the lifer of a suffering boy—and won. Summoned hastily from his office Dr. Joseph S. J. Manning, well known surgeon v and specialist of New York, taught a New York Central limited train up the' Hudson to Albany to answer tlie pleas of relatives of six year old Robert Cobbett, who lay in a hospital at Cooperstown, a victim of mastoditis. No connection could be made out of Albany until late in the night and the case was too critical for so long a delay. Dr. James Greenough, in charge of the case, saw the boy take a turn for the worse, and realizing that he could get Dr. Manning to Cooperstown by automobile hours earlier than the first available train could arrive, hurriediy arranged for a'right of way over the road to Albany. Escorted by state troopers he sped away in his coupe over the Cherry Valley turnpike toward the state capital. The few miles to Springfield were covered at 60 miles an hour. Rounding the turn there on two wheels and jamming his horn into continuous connection, he dashed down the ..est of the 75 mile stretch to Albany. At the nity limits a party of motorcycle police was waiting and matching their pace to that of the flying coupe they dashed through rush hour traffic to the station, where the train from New York was already jolting to a stop as they arrived. Pushing the New York surgeon into the car, whose motor was still running, Dr. Greenough duplicated his earlier run as he sped back over the route by which he had come from Cooperstown. The doctors reached the bedside of the patient one hour and 'fifty minutes after they had left the Albany station. A few minutes later the suffering lad went under the skillful■ knife of the surgeony and the operation was pronounced a success. ' 4 The feat of covering 150 miles of perilous roads in less than three and a half injurs approached the miraculous, Cooperstown residents declare, “It was awful,” said Dr. Greenough afterwards. “I shouldn’t like to have to go through it all again for I’m not given to\peeding. But the boy’s life hung in the balance and nothing else counted. Onljca powerful, well balanced, sturdy speedy automobile could have saved the. day for us, and I am thankful indeed that we had at hand such a dependable car as the Imperial, “80” in that time of desper-: ate need.” FIRST NEW MODE,L FORD DELIVERED TO LOCAL MAN The first, new model A Ford’ to be delivered in this city has been turned over to its proud owner, Ora Stryeker. For many/months the Ford dealers have been abiding the time when again they could enter the selling field with a real car and enjoy the popularity that the Ford dealers held for many years. Now with the. delivery of the first car by the local agency, Earl A. Noble annoupces that "trom now on quick delivery can be assured and no one need wait an unusual length of time to have the privilege of driving the new model cars of the Ford design. delivery of this first car also comes the announcement that the local Ford dealers are in a position to service all makes of cars. Prior to this date Ford special service had been in vogue but henceforth owners of all intakes of cars can call upon the Ford station and bo assured of whatever work is needed in a first-class manner. Air. hud Airs. Daniel Laser of Bremen were Sunday dinner guests of * their son and daughter-in-law, Air. and Mrs. Claude Laser.

URGES TRADE CURB INSTALLMENT PLAN The “installment buying craze” is to be curbed during 1928, to the advantage both of merchants and customers, according to .1. H. Fribley, Bourbon, Ind., first vice.-prWident of the Interstate Aierchants’ council, in convention at the Hotel Sherman recently. ' „ Mr. Fribley said in an interview at the convention—which was attended by* 1 approximately 3,000 merchants

from all sections of the United States and Canada—that he .has found a growing sentiment among retailers against the “deferred payment” fashion. Asa result he predicted that the .fashion shortly would become less fashionable. “That will' help the merchants and it will help the customers,” he added, “for both of them are losers when buyers fail to keep up with their installments. I don’t mean to say that I am or other business men are against all deferred payment plans. Credit moves the world and it certainly has its place. The point is that the installment idea has been carried too far. And some merchants have encouraged its going too far. “There are certain customers whom we merchants could trust a few years ago whom we can’t trust now. The reason is that the installment buying craze has destroyed their own judgment of their own credit. To get all the cars, radios, even clothing, that people are willing to give them on credit they have overstripped their ability to pay. t “Certainly that doesn’t help them. It is a terribly'disheartening thing to find that one can’t keep up his payments.” Asked whether he expected a prosperous mercantile year in America, Mr. Fribley answered with a combination of caution and firm confidence. “The outlook is good,” he said, “if the merchants do what every one else must and advantage of their opportunities. Even merchants are sometimes a bit-lazy and don’t im-, prove their opportunities. That hurts them.” He added that he thought the merchants would make 1928 an improved period, and that wiser use of the installment plan would be one of the features of improvement. Should Interest Nappanee Merchants Mr. Fribley is correct in the stand taken and the merchants in this city are coming to realize this more and more. People that at one time were considered first-class ; pay, through The. easy medium offered by the pay-as-you-please plan, have incurred indebtedness that could not be paid off and the result is that the man who does pay fools the bill. The time has come when the merchants will have to band together on a good credit rating basis and when this action is taken it will be for the benefit of those prone to buy haphazardly as well as the ones that buy wisely as the final outcome will be cheaper goods of the same quality as the present simply because the “returned goods” will not be an overhead on , the business man’s ledger, HOME TALENT PLAY PRESENTED TOMORROW NIGHT V *j * . “A Poor Married Man” will be presented at the Fairy theatre tomorrow night at 8 o'clock by a home, talent cast.
