TWO POETS
If in the heart* of poet* now alive
Dead poet* live and breathe be
yond the tomb,
Within my heart two poet* live and
strive.
Ronsard i* one. who knew the ex
cellent
Briefness of life, the worth of beau
ty* bloom
He of all poet* knew what living
meant.
The other, that dead countryman of
mine,
Who wrote the Nymphats and
Nymphidia.
Flirting with elves and all the faery
line;
find something of the Oallte grace
he had.
A sportive spirit, yet to his idea
Forever faithful, and forever sad

AND STILL GOING STRONG”
Read What A Shelby
Man Say< About
“CHAMOCO” Motor
Oil:—
Mr. .T. C. Champion,
Shelby? N. C.
Dear Sir :
Before starting on my recent trip to Detroit, driving
a Studebaker Straight Eight Sedan of '29 Model, I had same
filled with your “Chamoco” Oil.
I went North by way of Kentucky and Ohio, return
ing through Pennsylvania and Virginia, travelling in all
4900 miles. The oil has not been drained and is said by dis
interested service men to be still in very good condition.
I consider this exceptionally good results and more
so when it is considered that I travelled over both the Blue
Ridge and the Alleghany mountains where in many long
up hill pulls the motor remained cool and in perfect operat
ing condition all the time.
This experience proves to me you have in “Chamoco”
Oil an oil of high lubricating quality and strong staying
power.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) J. P. Cunningham. <
