TEACHERS ARE LOST

EATON, O., Feb. 24. Because teachers are underpaid, the public schools in this city will have to sacrifice their best teachers just when they become most efficient. "This claim is made by a "patron of the rchools" in a contribution published in local newspapers. In substantiation of the claim it is cited -that three teachers have recently resigned 'here to accept positions, carrying larger

salaries.

BOARD RECOMMENDS RECREATION GROUND AT RICHMOND PARK President Bavfc of the board of public works, announced today that the board will recommend to council that a recreation field and children's playground be established in Glen Miller park if, 'after investigation. ' council deemed such a plan, "advisable . "The plan we have in mind calls

for the construction of a recreation park and children's playground in that section of the Glen east of the elk pen. This part of the park is now. used for farming purposes- and it is a question

whether it is more advisable to continue to use the tract for farming purposes or turn it into a place of recreation for young men and women and the children of the city," Mr. Bas said. Grounds in Remote Section "This tract is the only desirable place for a recreation field. It is in a remote section and the young people who would use it would not disturb other park visitors. "The plan calls for removing the elk herd from 4heir present quarters

and the location of the elk pen just north of the deer pen. What is now the elk field would be utilized for general park purposes,' a pathway leading through it to the recreation field. "We would provide a well equipped playground for the children in one part of the recreation field, and a baseball diamond and some tennis

courts would be provided for the rest

TjOR several years the LEXINGTON was a i custom-mult car Belling almost entirely in metropolitan centers. Today it sells all over the United States as a medium priced car of unexpected style and refinement, because, though the price has come down, the standards of quality established then have continued to this day and are back of the

MINUTE MAN SIX-

M&5

Seeing is believing. You be the judge. We ay that the Lexington in beauty of design, in mechanical excellence, in performance, is the rival of cars costing hundreds of dollars more. And no other car has the exclusive Moore Multiple Exhaust System which gives 22.8 more usable power with less gasoline.

For pleasurable driving, ease of control, flexibility, pick-up, hillclimbing, or any other test of motor car performance, we will match the Lexington Minute Man Six against any car sold. It will throttle down to less than a mile an hour in high gear and go to fifty-five miles an hour ihhalf a minute. As a car it fairly overflows with salient superiorities that mean economy, dependability, and long service.
