If you doubt this, just read the advertise ! ment of T. W. Pass & Son, who are advertising everything at from j 25 to 50 per cent reduction. Death Of Well Known Person County Citizen Mr. Will J.

NEW CHEVROLET CAR A THING OF BEAUTY Hundreds Of Visitors Call At Stewart Chevrolet Co. To See It MANY V ITAL CHANGES Probably no more wide spread advertising effort ha4 been shown than that of the Chevrolet people i in announcing the new Chevrolet car which was put on exhibition for the first time last Saturday. Hie dealers here, the Stewart Chevrolet Company, had the car on exhibi tion- and all day Saturday throngs were on hand' to take a look And without exception It was pronounc ed the most wonderful cai" ever made by the Chevrolet manufac turers. The car is different in many ways, too many for us to attempt to describe, but a look will convince that it is a wonderful car, espe cially when price 1* considered. When you see this new car you will wonder why any one, regardless of how much he may be worth, should spend more money (or a car than the price of this new car. It has all of the commences of the higher priced cars, will do any and all things the higher priced cars ? do, and while doing it will save many gallons of gas. WARNS HITLER OF MARTIAL RULE TO E Chancellor Bruening Makes Sharp Reply T<r Challenge Of Fascist Leader DRASTIC NEW DECREE AS ECONOMIC MEASURE Berlin, Dec. 8. ? Chancellor Hein rich Bruening answered the chal lenge of Adolf Hitler and his Fas cists tonight by warning the na tion in a radio address that Presi dent Paul- Von Hindenburg willj invoke marital law, if necessary, to save the constitution. "There is no other authority in, this county save that prescribed by the constitution," the chancellor said. He went to the country over the air after a new and^ drastic emer gency decree. Slashing prices, wages and rents, had been signed and made into law by President Von Hindenburg. The decree, a 46-page document, the longest ever issued by the gov- ' ernment, was designed to provide the final wind-up for what Dr. Bruening called the "deflation per iod imposed upon Germany." The radical character of the measure was indicated by its re duction'. of wage scales to the level of January 1, 192*7. Here is what Germany's new emergency decree does: Cuts house rents and prices of standardized articles, coal and pot ash 10 per cent, x ? j Establishes a price commissioner. Reduces wages to the Jan. 1, 1927, level. Cuts salaries in the Reich, states and Communes -A per cent and wages 10 per oent. Lowers the interest rate on loans, bonds and mortgages, public and private, to 6 per oent where it was as high as 8 per cent, and cuts it 25 per cent to 50 per cent where it was higher. Lowers the Lombard rate (inter est on security loans) to 9 per cent from 10 per cent. Cuts physicians' fees and pro vides easier terms for sick insurance. Proteots landowners against forced auction sales by providing that no bid under 70 per cent of the property's value need be ac- ! cepted. Provides for issuance of new four pfennig coins (worth one cent). Reduces some taxes, but increase turnover tax to 2 per cent. Imposes compensatory taxes on imports. Strengthens measures against flight strengthens measures against flight of capital by providing for various degrees of confiscation. Forbids wearing of political uni forms of any kind except in homes. Empower* State authorities to mand surrender of all Limits traffic CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE GETS UNDERWAY HERE Woman's Club Conducting Annual Sale Of Little Seals This Week IS 1 PROCEEDS WILL HELP FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS One of the most ambitious pro grams conducted for the sale of Christmas Seals was outlined yes terday at a meeting of the Woman's Club by Mrs. B. B. Mangum, who is in charge of this work. She dis tributed seals among the members and asked for their hearty eo-apera tion and support. Not only the lo cal schools are actively engaged in selling these seals, but the various sections of ' that county are being reached through school children. Miss McCollum, the County Nurse, gave a most timely and forceful ! talk on Tuberculosis. She called attention to the fact that out of every dollar's worth of seals that were sold, twenty-five cents went to the national organization and seventy-five cents remained in the County to aid in the fight against tuberculosis. The census of 1930 shows that there were 2,187 cases W this disease in North Carolina, and in Person County alone there were 17 deaths. In view of these figures, it seems that everyone could con tribute something, no matter how large or small, to help combat this dreaded "white plague." AUTO LICENSE TAGS TO BE SUPPLIED HERE Carolina Motor Club Makes Arrangements To Supply Auto Owners Here OFFICE AT CITY HALL The Carolina Motor Association has arranged to sell license tags here for Person county, and Mrs. I.

This is quite an ac commodation and convenience and we are quite sure the automobile owners will take advantage of this convenience. Heretofore owners have had to either send their appli cation to Raleigh, or go to Durham to secure their license plates.

To this divided and ,qg)lticfcll$ hostile Congress President Hoover tomorrow will submit his legisla tive recommendations and a report on the state of the Union. The dominant economic problems facing this 72nd Congress met with an unemployment demonstration on the Capitol plaza. Representatives of the organized marchers were halted by police at the doors of the senate chamber. With tomorrow's reading of the presidential .message, the Congress will plunge immediately into its task of devising a way to speed American prosperity. That is the keynote.

There will be politics, for it is the dawn of a presidential years. But on the vital steps for national recovery there Is promise of prompt, non-partisan ac tion. V*"] o ? '? Person Co.
