“It touches the liver and does the work,” Mr. Stacy
declared. “It is one of the best medicines I ever saw for a
cold and headache. 4 don’t know what we would do in our
family if it wasn’t for Black-Draught It has saved us many
dollars ... I don’t see how any family can hardly go with

in the house. I recommend Slack-Draught highly and am
never without it."

WE ARE GOING TO ‘HAVE
A GOOD SCHOOL
The News wishes to say one thing
to the patrons of the Chapel Hill
Graded School and to say it in time
for it to be helpful to all of us.
Scho®l opens Monday,' the 12th.
of September. We all want a
good school. We are going to have
a good school. Then let us ask our
selves what can* we do to help to
make, it the .good school we want.
One thing that seems to us, stand-s
but here is this: we can start right.
That means start the first day.
We-can go right. That means, for
one thing, go every day and on
time. If your child can enter a
month late and do as well as those
who enter the first day, then the
school board is showing poor busi
ness judgement in running a nine
months’ school. Last year the re
cord of attendance was not what it
should have- been, and irregular at
tendance was the cause’ of more
failures than any other one thing.
Let us all eliminate this waste this
year, all together.

NEW FORD PRICES
The Strowd Motor Company an
nounces another big reduction in
the price of Ford cars, which was
effective September 2, reducing in
price these popular cars down be
low the pre-war level. The factory
price on Ford cars and trucks are
now lower than they ’ have ever
been. The war price of the run-
about, without starter, was $550
and the pre-war price $345, the new
price is $325 at (the factory. The
government tax and freight must be
added to these figures. F#r the
touring car the war price was $575
and the pre-war price $360. The
new price is $355. Similar reduc
tions are made on the other types.
The announcement of these reduc
tions by Henry Ford, was a big
surprise to the country, as at the*
higher prices Ford cars were selling
like hot cakes. The Strowd Motor
Company is keeping up with its al
lotment of cars and then some.
