Overland Price Cut Sets New Low Cost In Automobile World Toledo, Ohio., Jan. 1932 ? L. A. Miller, President of the Willys-Over- I land Company, today announced the lowe price line .of automobiles ever produced Amcrica, being far low er in price than any other sixes and eights and now lower t han even any standard line of four cylinder cars on I the market. A reduction of $100. in the list prices of all new 1932 Silvei Anniversary WilNs-Overland an:l Eights, and Willys-Knight motor cars jis effective immediately. "This great reduction in our prices," said Mr. Miller, "squarely meets the present recognized econ omic situation. It will increase Dealer profits through stimulating volume, make possible an increase in employment, and increase the need to purchase new raw materials by stimulating the dormant retail buy ing power which is known to exist. We believe many additional thous ands of potential buyers will prompt ly take advantage of prices that are materially lowar than at any time in American history.. "The new low prices nf the Willys Overland Six start at $415. and the full size five passenger four-door se dan is only $595., making this the low est priced line of standard automo biles in America, without exception. This is the car with the 100,000 mile Silver Streak motor that wen 16 official AAA speed records from 10 to 500 miles, for cars under one thousand dollars, and won the Pikes Peak climb two successive years, a feat never before accomplished by any other car regardless or size and cost. The Willys-Overfand Eight, now reduced to prices ranging from $695 to $795, is the world's lowest priced eight cylinder car, while the Willys Knight Six, newly priced at $745 and up, is impressively lower in price and more outstanding in per formance ability than any previous Willys-Knight car." Georgia Treasurer Is Former Pupil of Mauney Prof. M. L. Maunev, prominent farmer and citizen of Peachtree and former school teacher, is in receipt of a letter from his nephew, Edward S. Mauney, commander of the Ira Weaver Post of the American Legion, Blairsville, Ga., to the ef fect that Col. M. Layfayettee Leu ford, who w4as recently appointed State Treasurer for Georgia by Governor Richard B. Russell, was a former pupil of Mr Mauney, when he taught old Anticoh School at B'l airs vi lie many years ago. The letter states in part: "The influence of Old Antioch has no lim it. Seed sown by you there in the 80's brings forth much fruit. It is a work of which you can justly be proud, and a pleasant thought to you in old age." Pupils of Mr. Mauney are found in practically every walk of life, high up on the ladder of success, and Mr. .Mauney is justly proud of the record they have made and the as sociations and /riendsships that sprang into existence at Old Antioch many years ago.

Man Arrested In Laundry Robbery A man giving his name as Burr.ey McCuiry, and his residence as South Carolina, was arrested by Chief of Police Toby Fain Wednesday night with three suits of clothes and a pair of pants in his posession which were sttfV?n fvrom the Murphy Laundry about two weeks ago. The clothes were identified by both Mr. Corn well, proprietor ot the laundry, and the owners. McCurry, Who said he found them in a pile of trash down by one of the depots, was placed in jail where he is awaiting preliminary hearing. Lime 'in Fertilizers Is New Farm Idea The use of ground limestone as a part of the fertilizer is a new farm practice winning many followers in North Carolina at the present time. Writing recently in the Monroe ?Journal, Zeb Green, a careful obser Iver and writer about agricultural matters, reports on the use of ground | limestone as a filler and gives in stances where pood farmers in this county are asking th^ fertilizer com panies to use limestone ash filler material rather than sand or some other inert ingredient. "If limestone had been used as a filler in fertilizers for the past five years in Union County, sufficient limestone would have been deposited i in our soils to double the yields of i lespedeza and soybeans and to great ly increase the yields of- grains and other crops without additional cost to ! farmers," declared Mr. Green. These observations now get sup- I port from scientific sources as a paper presented before the American Society of Agronomy on November 30 at Chicago, seems to indicate. The facts brought out in this paper show that while the limestone re quired for good fertilizer practice can be applied as a broadcast eppli cation once every four or five years and the method has been used in experimental work and by good farmers, the plan is open to objec tion in that many farmers will ne glect to lime their land in this way until crops hove been injured by ex cessi\e acidity. Some do not use good judgment in applying the lime and many will not lime under any conditions. It apparently is the opinion of many agronomists that Southern farmers will not buy much limestone unless it can be purchased as a con stituent of their fertilizers. The a mount of limestone secured this way each year will not be large, yet will be sufficient to overcome any acid ity in the fertilizer itseli and will soon put the soil in excellent con dition for best crop yields. A TRIP THROUGH FLORIDA (By A. J. BURNS) BaTtow the city of Oaks Forty miles from Tampa. Bartow is one of the oldest cities in Flordia. It is approximately on the site of Fort Blount which was garrisoned during the Seminole war. In addition to many line citrus groves, many of these groves being among the oldest in the State. It has a great amount .of trucking . and also has several large Phosphate plants manufacturing fertilizer. Bartow is the county seat of Polk County which leads the world in the production of oranges and grape fruits, and approximately one third of Flordias entire citrus crops are grown in this county. We leave Bartow and go over to ! Lake Wates, the crown jewel of the j ridge, 61 miles from Tampa, lying near the center of Imperial Polk ' county. The richest county per capita in the United States. With in a ten mile radius are more than 23000 acres of citrus groves. In ad dition to the scenic highland, which surrounds Lake Wales. It has three hundred acres of parkes and play grounds. The beautiful mountain Lake club which is adjacent to the singing tower is one of the most ex clusive and beautiful development tot be ofund anywhere. On the peak of Iron mountain is the famous B'ok sanctuary and the wonderful sing ing tower toi which thousands make their pilgrimage yearly. This tower contains the largest and finest Caril lian in in 2 world, consisting of 71 bells with S3 tone - The total weight of these bolls 123.264 pounds. The Carrill'ane is the famous Anton bells of A twrep Belgium. (Continued) ITEMS OMM1TTED A number of items and articles . being cmiriti^d this week from *3ck of space to carry them. Th j he carried next week, or in a Murphy Firemen Hold Meeting and Issue Statement Last .Monday night the Murphy Fire Department held a meeting and every member was assigned a place. Fred Johnson was appointed Fire Marshall and his duty is to keep all tho?e who do not belong to the fire department out of the way of the work. Heretofore the department has been preatly handicapped by on lookers and critics. Please remem ber that this department is made up of men who have volunteered to give their services to lighting fiie, and are never paid one penny. Any helpful suggestions will ba welcom ed by them, but they must have the co-operation of the people if you ex pect them to do their best. We are asking the people to help us by staying at a safe distance from the scene of fire so that the fire men will be free to do their duty. There is a city ordinance prohibit ing any one but firemen to get on the fire truck while on duty. It is also a violation of the law to pass over the fire hose while the hose is in action. Anyone violating these laws will be fined. For the benefit of the public, we i are giving you the lire signals for the different sections of town. One sound of the siren is for the center of Murphy; two sounds for East Murphy; three sounds for Fact orytown; four for Bealtown. It was decided at the meeting Monday night that when the if ire alarm is given the fire truck will be driven from the shed to the Bull Moose pen, where it will pick up fire men regardless of where the fire is. The firemen understand this and will appreciate having the right-ol way immediately after the siren is sounded. Please bear in mind that we are trying to improve our fire fighting and doing everything to get the fire engine in A-l condition. Murphy Fire Department, B.

Poland China Pig Offered As Prize Interest in the contest to choose a slogan for the 5-10 Year Farm Pro gram should rise to high fervor over the announcement made over sta tion WWNC Friday night during the regular weekly farm program that the second prize was to he a spotted Poland China sow pig of champion ship breeding. The nig which will be from three to four months old will be donated by Mr. John Wilt, of the Wilt Farms, Hillsboro, Indiana. Mr. Wilt had sold E. A. Fonda whose farm is at Weaverville a very fine boar and in the correspondence had learned of the contest being held for members of 4-H Clubs, vocation al agricultural and home economics classes. His offer was entirely vou untary and ia a wonderful opportun ity for some b<jy to start a herd of foundation stock from the world's champion herd of spotted Poland China. The gilt is sirea by a world's champion boar, and will be register ed, the papers being delivered direct to the winner. Such interest is being created in the 5-10 Year Pro gram that pigs from such breeding should bring a premium next year. The first prize is to be the choice of a Jersey or Guernsey purebred heifer and the third prize, 100 baby chicks, donated by the Fanner's Fed eration Hatcheries at Acton. The contest is a very simple one and every boy and girl eligible in Western Nortk* Carolina should en ter. More than one slogan can be entered by one person. The slogan must not have more than three words in it but the use of the letters W.N.C. would not count as a word. To il lustrate, "W.N.C. ^-^anized Farm Movement," "W.N.? .
