/Vim I'TT lour Buick Dealer stands back of the USED CARS he I I A Your Buick dealer’s good reputa(j Vlld tion in the community is worth far more to him than the profit he makes on any used car transaction. He is the head |of an established business and he knows that in order to get more business, he must please his present customers. He carries a representative stock of used cars, including both used Buicks and cars of other makes—and he represents them honestly.

LET’S REVEAL THAT LAW (By Major T. C. Smith) What law? Why, that law that is not executed. Yes, but what law? The one God gave us four thousand years ago. Gave it to Mx>ses, and through Moses to all the world. But which one? The one where God commanded “Thou shaft not steal.” It interferes with the personal liberty of thieves. They feel it is opposed to their personal freedom. Also, the law-officers do not execute that law to the full. Since stealing goes on everywhere, what good is that law? Since the law does not prevent stealing, why not repeal it, and stop it from interfering with the personal liberty of thieves. Also, that would stop them from breaking the law, and from being punished for stealing. And for that matter, let us cancel all prohibitive laws of every kind. You see, every prohibitive law of any kind interferes with the personal liberty of some persons. If any law does prove self-executory, why continue it? Just repeal it. If there were no laws to be broken, there could be no persons punished, and no complaints about so many arrests. See? Let’s abolish all prohibitive laws of any kind and be free for once and for all. Fine! Fine! Suppose we apply that line of reasoning to the prohibitive law. Does it not fit the case pretty well? In fact, what prohibition law of any kind is executed? Therefore, repeal all prohibitive laws. Let laws against bandits, murderers, hi-jack-ers, and against arson, let them all be repealed because they are not fully able to prevent crime, are not fully executed, and they interfere with personal liberty of some persons. Would we not have freedom and damnation with a vengence? Why be deceived with this kind of wailing against prohibition, and-also the Volstead law? Do not be fooled by false political bunkum about the law not fully preventing foolish persons from killing themselves with poisonous drinks. A NEAT. CLEAN TOWN “Here's a neat clean little town.” Have you ever heard anyone so describe a town? Have you not uttered a similiar opinion yourself, in traveling about? There are many assets for towns to have—-but none quite so much an insight into the character of its citizens than the 'simple statement that it is neat and clean. The houses may not all be new. or of the latest style. There may be other things not quite so grand as many places on the earth —but if the lawns are well taken care of. abundant gardens, clean alleys, no unsightly vacant lots, everything (brightened up with a little paint and a little improvement well. there may l>e a lot of things the matter in one way or another —but it's A GOOD TOWN TO LIVE IN. A neat, clean town invites business. attracts new people, makes property worth more, sell for more. It doesn't take a lot of work, or a lot of money. All it takes is a lot of pride, town pride. So let's keep our town moving in the direction of a constantly improved community better, well-kept homes. Then some of these times people are going to begin talking about it —they'll say when they see it. “here’s the neatest, cleanest little town in the state. And as a compliment. there is none quite so great as that. And { when every home takes care of its own little problem, that object will become a reality. i What say? Let’s do it.
