When two as cheaply x nere s no law against believing that “two can live as cheaply as one.” Neither is there any law against thinking that eight cylinders can be as economical as six. Use your own judgment—but if you want the most economical car, just ask a few people who own the new Chevrolet Six. Their cost figures will be a revelation, particularly if you are struggling to support a few extra cylinders for the cost of six. You can save with a Chevrolet, and if you want to find out why, go straight to your nearest dealer. Look at the car and drive it yourself. The Chevrolet valve-in-head 6-cylinder engine works wonders with a gallon of gas, and it doesn’t burden your pocketbook with extra cylinders, extra rings and:pistons, or extra valves. Chevrolet has earned the:reputaticn of being the world’s most economics! tear, but after all, it was Chevrolet’s /ho first spread the gocd word. CHEVROLET Castevens Motor Co. Sparta, - - - North Carolina THE BUZZARD MAKES NO ANSWER (A Monologue by L. L. Johnson.) A buzzard circled over the plough 'd field. A little negro lad left off flaying in the soft soil, to gaze in itantly at the vulture flying overhead, meaning forward on his knees he said: "Who is you? Whey do you live?” He waited as if expecting a reply. “Why do’nt you answer me? ‘Aint /ou got no sense ter answer when spectable folks ax yo’ sump’m?”— in a tone of irritation. The bird sailed on, round after round .The boy paused and listened. Maybe, the bird did not hear. He raised his voice and called: “What ails you? Is you sick? Mammy gim’me a dose of tallow las’ night; said I had de green-apple pains. “Is you got any chillun? What is dey names? We is got a wag’in load and a pine tree full at our house." “What do you eat? I likes turnip licker. Mammy gim’me a gourd full dis mawn’in.” Still, no reply from above. The bird continued to circle gracefully in the warm sunshine. The child gathered a few clods of dry dirt; took on in his hand and shouted: "You do’nt talk wid me, I’ll bounce you wid one de’se here clods if you come dis way, sho'.” pected the buzzard to answer his Apparently, the boy no longer ex questions or to notice his threats. He dropped to his knees again and con tinued: "Do you beat yore chillun ? Pappy beat me wid his gallus las’ night; jes’ ’cause I stuck my foot in de churn whar de milk wuz. I'se sore all behind. “You reck’en you ken bite. Mammy sez when ye bite hit makes warts on yer big as her fist.” The vulture was ascending higher and higher. A few more rounds and it would be too far to see. The lad knew the bird would soon be out of 3ight. In his self-forgetfulness he spoke again: ‘‘Whey you ’gwine dat way? You come back here an' I’ll pull yore tail out. Den yore mammy hav’ to patch yore britches sho’.” “Pinktum!” Behind him a voice 3poke. Gone! A cloud of dust followed the tracks he made.
