SCHOOL CONTEST IS
CLOSED TODAY.
(Continued from Page One.)
a»
Miss Thelma McCarroll was an at
tractive as well as gifted reader.
Searcy, which seems about the
hardest contender in the district, was
a come-back again this time, and so
far has won two first cups and maybe
more, before it is over. Not one time
during the four years has she failed
to carry one, two or three of the cov
eted trophies 'home. So far the
judges have decided in favor of two
of her contestants, and both boys,
who were deserving of firBt honors—
Wayne Caldwell, first in violin and
Edward Brundidge first in declama
tion. “A chip off the old block,” was
what the friends and admirers of Mr.
Brundidge had to say at the conclu
sion of the little man’s declamation,
“America’s Future At Stake.”
Freeman Iry, Newport’s represent
ative, came second, and was a close
second too. His comrades gave him a
rousing reception, preceding and fol
lowing his address, “Pictures of
War.” He was a favorite and his
classmates were proud of him.
Thelma McCarroll, Walnut Ridge’s
representative in violin was fine, re
ceiving second place.
McCrory, which is another close
runner in the annual contest, won
first in piano, with Miss Esther Ar
nof first and Eleanor Sink, of New
port, second. Newport was also
proud of her voice contestant, Miss
Clyde Wood, who has a wonderfully
good voice. In the piano contest Miss
Ruby Hawthorn® was considered very
fine and a brilliant young pianist.
Many of the rural schools of the
county participated in the contest in
compositions on Liberty Bonds.
Mrs. C. H. Brough, state chair
man of the Women’s Liberty Loan
Campaign, through Mrs. C. G. Henry,
county chairman of the Liberty Loan
campaign, requested that all the
schools of the county participate in
the contest carried on in the schools
throughout the state from April 1st
to the 15th.
The work was divided into three
divisions as follows: grades 1 to 6
inclusive, first division; grades 6 to
8 inclusive, second division; and the
High school grades constituting the
third division.
In the first division, Miss Irene
May Pharriss was awarded first
place. In the Second division, Miss j
Anna Willis Reid was awarded first!
place. There was no essay submitted
from the High schools.
The judges were composed of
Mrs. G. H. Banks, Messrs. H. L.
Thomas and A. J. Gamer. The sub
ject matter throughout the entire
list of contestants were exception
ally good, which indicated the pur
pose of the Liberty Loan was defin
itely understood throughout the
county.
Owing to heavy rains having plac
ed the fair grounds in bad condition
the annual track meet was called off
for this year.
WHY NOT BE GOOD TO YOUR
SELF?
If you awaken weary and rare
freshed in the morning, or tire early
in the day, are bilious and “bln®,”
with coated tongue and bad breath—
if you are suffering from indigestion
or constipation—yon will find F#l*y
Cathartic Tablets quick to relieve and
comfortable in action. They are
wholesome and health-giving.—Wai

God’s way is the best way, God’s
plan is the best plan. When God
plans for man’s salvation, the wise
man accepts it. An excuse is not a
reason under such conditions, there is
no place for excuses. Man shoulc
not excuse himself when God -offers
any kind of a gift; God gives'toAfc

Michelin Tests
The Width Test
9t*r '*
No. 3 |
IT IS EASY to file off a point but not so easy to wear away a
broad, flat surface. A non-skid tread that consists of small, sharp
projections cannot resist the wearing action of the road so well as
can a tire with a broad, flat traction-surface.
It is, therefore, important in considering the merits of various
non-skids that you determine how much of the tread is raised in
other words, how large a surface rests on the road.
An excellent way to do this is to get a piece of wire screen and |
lay it over one unit of the design on the tread, then compare the
number of squares that fall on the raised portion with the number
that fall on the portion that is not raised.
Michelin Universal Has Large
Traction Surface
In the Michelin Universal, for example, three-quarters of the
entire non-skid tread is raised, thus forming a broad flat traction
surface that means extra mileage. Make the “screen test” for your
self. It will confirm Michelin’s superior wearing qualities.
