The plaintiff's claim was that the constitutiqn guarantees jury trial in cases where the decision concerns a iiie problem of deciding between up holding the constitution and its pro visions for protecting property or forget the fundamental law of the land and go by the law made by the legislature. To declare an act passed by the State's General Assembly uncon stitutional and thus mitt and void was unheard of in 1786 1787.

Happenings In The Farm Life School The eighth grade, under Mr. Mar tin's supervision. entertained in chapel Friday with their version of the second grade of by-gone days. The students were most appropriate ly dressed and bandaged, and the acting was very realistic. The pro gram consisted of dialogues, songs, recitations, stories, and other enter tainment of this type. Margaret Rob erson acted as teacher. The students of the school have contributed very generously with foodstuff and other home products for our community booth. The booth, all dressed up in red, white and blue, is located at the farther end of the exhibit building. We hope ev erybody in the county who visits the fair will visit our booth. As every patron already knows, the rental fee was fixed at a flat rate throughout the school for this year. We collected $112.HO from the high school and $89.90 for supple mentary leaders from the element ary grades This money nam turn ed in to the county superintendent's >ffiee Each high school student in the county was asked to pay a fee of sixty cents for the library this y ear, and we collected $39.00. and we hope to have our new books very soon.

THURSDAYS, V TO 10 t M . I ft. T. The New and the Finest Dodge JPVF.RY MAN OR WOMAN who buys one ? oT these new Dodges w ill get for his money the very finest car that Dodge lias ever turned out. He will git it, of course, from a smaller total production, because the Government of the United States has first call upon Dodjje factories and men. But, we repeat, every civilian buyer ot Hodge motorcars will receive for his investment all of the traditional Dodge quality at higher levels of endur ante, performance and economy than Dodge has ever supplied them before. Powor-Flow Engine ?For All-Fluid Drive lie will get, literaliy, the climax value of twenty-seven years of fine car cngi neering. He will get the phenomenal success of Dodge All-Fluid Drive. He will get the new Power-Flow Fngine, designed and adapted as the more power ful complement to the fluid smoothness of Dodge All-Fluid Drive. He will get a motorcar of lifetime lasting qualities, in which riding and driving have become almost the same thing?except that the driver gets the added joy of command. Is This Asking Too Much? People by the hundreds who have driven the new Docile say almost the same thine. I lu-y say they could not, and would not, go hath to the old way of driving. It is not ashing too much, we believe, that you investigate these revo lutionary Dodge qualities. You should experience the ebb and flow of Dodge power, at any speed, in any trallu , with or without shitting gears as you may wish. You should measure its new economy against the old, and realize thakrf)odge, all by itself, has turned the corner into a new day of motorcar performance, long life, and Dependability. Dependability ? Forever the Watchword It is unquestionably true that fewer cars will be built this coming year, according to your own defense requirements. But, above all, it is true that there can never occur any curtailment of Dodge motor car quality?and no substitute, ever, for Dodge Dependability. A new DoJge cur is a basic imvmfsmmt for the years.
