The Key to Success
The man who achieves high honoi or fame
After all is just human; you arc the same.
The man who becomes a millionaire, too,
Is merely a man, and so are you.
We develop our talents by what we do;
Great men may have less talent than you.
But unless in yourself you surely believe
You will in this world very little achieve.
The Continental Bank has found that a man
Seldom does more than he thinks he can.

much of a popular hero, in spite
of the fact that he is reputed
to have whipped Jack Demosey
twice. Now it is said that Gene
is writing a book and this will
probably prove a knock-out
for what little popularity he
still retains.

WHO WOULD BELIEVE IT?
According to Dr. M. L. Con-
don of Chicago, a person may
be wrongfully accused of alco-
holic indulgence if only the evi-
dence apparently disclosed by
the breath is taken at full
value.
In other words, the doctor
declares that the characteristic
odor of the alcohol breath may-
be caused by many things be-
sides alcoholic drinks, among
which he names the following:
Eating several apples.
Eating too much ice cream.
Eating many oranges.
Drinking sweet cider.
Eating new bread.
Now, if a nosey official, or
scandal-monger, or even the
good wife, charges a fellow
with having imbibed of contra-
band beverages, this statement
by Dr. Condon may be offered
as an alibi.
The only weakness of the
argument is suggested by the
question: Whj would believe
it?
Mr. Galvin Lawrence and
Mr** Gertie Maye Gilcriest of
Pineland spent Sunday with

Today's Chevrolet ia scoring a huge nationwide
success because it represents one of this most
sensational achievements in automotive history
—a Six in the price ratine of the four.
The Chevrolet six-cylinder engine delivers its
power freely, quiAtly, and eaai'.y throughout
the entire speed range—delightfully free from
annoying vibration and rumble. Combined with
this remarkable six-cylinder smoothness are
equally remarkable speed, power and accelera-
tion—and an economy of better than twenty
miles to the nation.
In addition to such sensational performance
the Chevrolet Six offers the outstanding advan-
tages of Bodies by Fisher. And no car ever
provided a more impressive array of modern
convenience features—adjustable driver's seat
and VV one-piece windshield in closed models,
easy action clutch and gear-shift, liali bearing
steering, and instrument panel complete even to
theft-proof Electroloclc and electric motor
temperature indicator!
