MR$. MARY ROE INVITED
TO CANADIAN REUNION
Mrs. Mary Roe'of St, Paul, '-Nebra-
ska, received an invitation to attend
a reunion of all the "old boys and
girls arid, ex -teachers” of School Dis-
trict No. io, Morris township, Ontario,
Canada, which will be held on the old
school grounds on Thursday, July
zasl, 1927, She will hardly attend the
reunion, but the receipt of the invita-
tion awakened a flood of fond mem-
ories of; days 65 years ,ago when
Mrs. Roe was engaged, in teaching
,School in that very school.
Mls.: Roe is do years old at the pre-
sent time

s hardly make
the trip back there to attend this re-
union. But her heart will be there on
that day and she will turn back in
memory and recall! the children with
whom she was associated at that time.
What a pleasant time she could have
for a short while if she could attend,
this gathering. There she would' be
able 4.9 meet with a few of the pupils
that attended school when she was
the teacher, but it is doubtful if she
would meet ixiany who were grown at
that time, Sixty-five years is a long
trine and wonderful changes have tak-
en place in that country in that space
of time. But it 'would be an interest-
ing experience for Mrs. Roe if she
could make the trip. That would be
quite a trip fora person of her age
to make, even though she is in the
lbest of health and enjoying 'life to
the fullest extent. Not many persons
of her age are going to be present at
that reunion.

GEORGE WILL TRY AGAIN
"If at first Sion don't -succeed, try

Spotton must have been brought •up
upon that good old motto "Tsrse-

greatest word. in the English langu-
age; and George must have that
word tucked away in his vest pocket
so that he can take it out and look
at it once in -a while
Mr. Spotton—to use his more dig-
nified designation—has battled a
number of tidies for provincial and,
dominion parliamentary honors in
North Huron, and was defeated -not.
ignomiuously defeated - just lost

like Bruce of Scdtland and the spider

read in his school books, he will try

-Leads the World in Motor Car Value
Every Nash owner notices that he has
very little gear shifting to do on hills,
Ito matter how steep the grades maybe.
Nash is a very powerful motor car.
There is Nothing half-hearted or slug-
gish about its response—the motor
never "talks back" at you—even
though you are climbing mountains.
One reason is the more than adequate
power designed hitoevety Nash motor
car. Nash engineering has provided
reserve energy for situations that ta,c
the resources of other.cars, and extend
their eligities to the point of strain.
;bea.rings in .every Nash model, in.
stead of 3 or 4, means that power is not
thrown away by crankshaft "whip."
Proper bearing support throughout
the entire length of the crankshaft
,conserves energy that older motor
types waste.
Quick acceleration --•� powerful re•
sponsivveness—such as Nash provides,
is a safety factor your cannot overlook,
It is invaluable on the hills, very
handy in traffic.
When you select your next car, be
sure to see how unfavorably the power
