AS SPRING COMES A clean-up, paint-up cam paign always adds to the beauty of a town and as Spring comes this year we trust that the Woman’s club of this town will lend their influence to such a campaign here. Such a drive pays dividends in several direc tions. It is primarily an in dividual call to citizens to show their appreciation for their community. We believe that such a move here will receive full support. HOOVER, PRESIDENT We fought him hard be cause we wanted his op ponent to be the successful candidate, but the mandi date of the people was other wise, and on Monday, March 4, Herbert Hoover became president of the United States. We hope and believe that Mr. Hoover will make a good president. We trust that prosperity and good will will reign. His inaugu ral address was to the point and seemed to be replete with wisdom. We are delighted that he did not place Jardine and Dr. Works in his cabinet. The acu of these men must have been an embarrassment during his campaign. We have always admired Mr. Hoover. It was not a question of liking Caesar less, but of liking Rome bet ter. We were willing to, and did, fight Hoover, the Re publican candidate, but we have nothing but good-will to Hoover, president. May his reign be a happy and prosperous one. Interest In Education Means Improvement This increase of interest in educa tion is much more significant than most people imagine. In addition to all that it may eventually mean for American culture, it means economic improvement in two de finite ways. First, it means an In crease in the productive power of our people and a consequent in crease in the sum-total of our wealth; second, and of more signi ficance. it means a wider or a less unequal diffusion of that wealth. That a trained man can produce more than an untrained one goes wi'hout saying. Every time a man is trained for a useful career his power to contribute to national wealth is increased. The larger the proportion of our people we can manage to train for productive careers the larger the average and the total productivity of our people will become.

Baptism and the Lord’s Supper Tl.t- International Uniform Sunday School I.o/son for March 10. Baptism and (he Lord’s Supper. Matt. -S: 10. -(>; I Cor. 11: rpHE discussion of the Christian *- ordinances which are the theme of this lesson brings us very easily into the realm of acute controversies “of the sort that in the main it has been our aim in this column to avoid. Possibly even the merest com ment on baptism and the Lords Supper cannot be made without conflict with the strong convic tions upon these matters held in some quarters. The very terminology in use concerning them indicates the di vergence of opinion and the in tensity of feeling. Some churches, are what are called "close com munion"—the principle of inclu sion and exclusion at other pro fessing Christians in tne fellow ship of a local church having to do »uh the nature and form of baptism. Other churches which do not speak of “close com munion" hold very strict and par ticular views concerning the na ture and significance of the Lord s Supper. An Kvtreme We have hea*'d of the w ife of a nonconformist missionary in the depths of Africa who wrote to tht archbishop of Canterbury inquir ing w hether she would be commit ting sin in partaking of the com munion with her husband anc other nonconformist missionarie: in the mission field. That is, per haps. .1 very extreme instance, bu it t> pities the general attitude of ; fairly large number of professing Christians toward those o. churches and communions othei than their own. There are some general fact; which may be emphasized witl value.. There is, first of all, till reminder that baptism was pri marily not a Christian ordinance John the Baptist was a forerunnei of Christ and Christianity, and th< fact that he used baptism as t part of his method of propa ganda and discipleship showec that it was a practice already it vogue before the time of Chris and to which Christ himself sub mitted. ’ The comment of Christ upoi baptism In submitting to tha rite is perhaps the most effects and significant that we have. "Thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness,” said Jesus. H probably did not attach great im portance to baptism as a form, bu he did attach much importance t I it as an expression of fellowship and as a Unking oC his religions life with that of his age and with the religious life that had gone before. Such a spirit gives to for mal observance a new meaning and reality. In the supper in the upper room, which lias become the his toric founding of the Lord's Sup 1 per as observed in the church and | to which Paul refers in the verses ■ of our lesson, we find the true meaning of communion for Chris tian*. There are some who have 1 questioned whether Jesus intend ! ed to establish in that incident ' any formal ordinance at all. Formal Expression ■| For the thoughtful disciple bap I tlsm Is a serious thing. It is the ; formal and public expression of II one’s discipleship and of one's • place in the company of those who believe in Jesus and who seek to ' embody his spirit in the world. ‘So also the partaking of the ■ j Lord’s Supper is a solemn action. : . a time for heart searching and for ■:the measuring of one’s life by the [standards of the sacrificial love of i : God in Christ and the privileges :! and blessings that divine grace be • stows upon man. The truth is that baptism and 1 the Lord’s Supper are what we ; make them in our own lives. They -'may mean to us very little, or they t! express tor us ail fhj worth of >[ eternal values. with them is the undetermined; fact, depending upon what kind of j people we become, and how i-Uelli- i gently and how vigorously we find ! out and develop our resources. What \ kind of people we are to be wul depend largely upon our schools and what they do for us.—T. N. Carver, in Commerce and Finance.

Tt w as distinctly a new problem, for here was a < ::r with quicker acceleration, greater speed and more braking efficiency than a ay car of similar size or weight. So that every Ford owner might be assured of maxi mum tire mileage at the low est cost, the Ford Motor Company devoted many months to research and experiment in conjunc tion with the leading tire manufacturers. As a result, certain defi nite specifications were de veloped for tires for the new Ford. These specify cords of certain strength and texture, a large volume of tread and side-wall rubber, sturdy non skid design, and reinforced plies for protection against bruise breaks — all the strong features 01 construc tion formerly considered for only the largest tires. Great care also was taken to secure the best riding qual ities in connection with the ? • - $ j?-V -3 Though the Tord tires nre designated as 30 x 4.30, they have the resiliency and air spare of much larger tires because of the drop center rim cf the steel-spoke wheels.

Low in flation breaks down the side walls of a tire. By causing o\ er her ting, it also destroys the rubber that acts as an insulation, with consequent separation of the cord. At the end of each 5000 miles, when you have the front wheels packed with grease, it is a good plan to have the wheel alignment cheeked. 1 his will prevent premature wear.
