opposition to the measure.
More deplorable nt.ll was a ten
dency to split the "entire county on
tu.s issue along the In in of an
C tnt po it.cal tactions.
All this is v.twtd with some con
- cei'a by this newspaper. We bone
that our irknds in Currituck win
let Pop ar Brunch township decide
this question on lis mer.ts. Here
lb tne townsh p where there Is
present need of a high nchool and
whtre the support given such a
school w.H insure fur H
liberal State aid. Any disposition
to aiign po iiiciil factions in the
County for or against the bond is
sue should bo 'resented unci rebuk

The high school at Poplar llianch
la not a county hut a township
Institution. It thi Popiar Branch
high Bchool were 1 lying 'to ma:e
itseif the oiii' and only huh
schco' in the county this raiyr
would not. be Lueiabie toward the
undertakiiiK. We believe in the
education i.f boys nnd girls as near
the influence Of homo as possih'.e.
The provision of the state school
law. which permits four high
schools to the county but no more
than four is wine in its scope and
in its limitations. There will be
' in a comparatively short time need
for at least ono more high school
In Currituck County.
This paper will be aa ready to
lend its aid to the establishment of
Jhe Bccond high school aa it how' is
to throw its influence on the sldo
of the bond issue for the high
echool at Poplar liranch. Hut as
other high sehoois are established,"
t scy some, "Poplar Branch will have
ita money invested in a use. ess
school donatory." This Is not
true. For Popiar Branch town
ship is so formed, cut Up and divi
ded that getting all the pupils to
the school from every part of the
township every day will never be
come practicable.
Besides, that dormitory is needed,
or will be needed, for a home for
the teachers. The movement to
establish such homes is now be
coming nation wide. This paper

can be. And therein lies the bril

se'ence is a'ways s'mple. And
look at the simplicity of that
motor. Anybody can see ali there
is to it at a glance. There are no
complicated parts. No network
of wires or other attachments.
Nothing to mystify. Few parts,

model T cars giving s nice among

lands where t'.i dawn f civiliza
tion is just breaking. It is still
fro'-n interesting, however, to anal
zo the reports and observe how
! normously the Ford car has grown
in the public mind as a time-saving
and money saving utility. For e
amp'e: Among the one day's orders
received at the Ford Motor Compa
ny's sales department, there came
the call from twenty four different
concerns do'ng a national busi
ness; orders from one to twenty
five cars each. Many of these
were repeat orders and of course
all of theem were buying Ford
cars as equipment for their sa es
men. This extraordinary growth of the
Ford as a commercial utility has
rroduced some significant changes
in sales statistics. Up to with
in the past six or e'ght months,
about 64 per cent of all Ford cars
have gone into the small town or
actual agricultural districts. Now,
however, with the constantly In
creasing demand for the Ford in
professional service, in use as sales
men's equipment. In fact, as a gen
eral Indtistr'al utility, the sales are
running about fifty-five per cent for
the small town nnd county dis
tr'cts and about forty five per cent
for the big cities.
Keeping pace with the hiue in-cre-ise
In Ford demand nnd with a
500.000 car production, the' 'Ford
Times has grown ln .circulat'on to
