It will not ho long before wtf
realize how dry a Ixine actually
is.
The .kaiser must have lot nd
long ago that it is nluch eat er
to start a war than to stop |
one.
The Spanish influenza must

A question which time only
will decide is whether France
will become Americanized or
whether our American hoys
will become Frenchified.

“OUR TROOPS HAVE GONE
FORWARD” -WHERE
ARE WET
Confident of victory, uur l*oys
at the front are ever .pressing
forward, forcing-the eneni'yCo
yield their . conquering arms.
Further and -further .rfre our
lines getting away from home,
'whence all supplies must come.
But without question those
khaki-clad men continue the
pursuit. 1
And. at home we are cheered
with each day’s announcement
that “Our troops.have gone for-
ward.” We never expected any-
thing elije. That they would
not or-could not go forward is a
condition that -has never oc-
curred to us. It is impossible!
But those advances—ah! at
It must be very discouraging!^hat il costI .Secretary of the
to ask for an ^rmistiee and the! Navy Hamels says when thu
only answer be an army. i lul1 stol'-v ot the, marines fight
t\t- Chateau-Thieny is Told, it
will go down in history as “j^rie
of the most .sanguinary /irug-
j gles ever fcughC between man
j. nd man. Out of 8,000 /marines
who went into that battle,
6,oG0 .rtve either killed or in-
jured.”
Of 8,000 who went into that
battle 6,000 were killed or
wounded! But we won!
We? What part did you and
I, my friend, have in that bat-
tle, or what parts are we play-
ing in the hundreds of desper-
ate fights being fought every
day over there?
Whose duty is it to see that
those 2,000 who survived Cha-
tea-u-Thierry shall have bullets
for their guns, clothes to keep
them warm, and food to give
them strength’-? - .
That, my friend, is your duty
and mine. We must keep the
food and the bullets and the
clothing rolling toward our
boys at the front in a * never-
ending stream. We must fur-
nish the money to buy those
supplies. It is no longer “How
can we?” It is WE MUST—and
being Americans, thank God'
WE SHALL!
Treasure not a penny in our
pockets, until it has become ex-
changed for a Liberty Bond.
Indulge in no luxury until we
have bought our share 6f Lib-,
erty Bonds. Deprive oui-selves!
Invest to the utmost!
- Don’t sav “I can’t,” when two
million American youths in the
midst of Hying death and pois-
onous gas are shouting to the
iuimy 'T’tyilH” — » —r
We are a gpeat race and ’ a
great nation. Arid we are going
to be greater. We have shown
the world our fightingThen can
fight. Now we'are gomjf-xtp

ge- man, woman or child if
America expc -ts only their
fighting men to be in the battle.
We each shall buy .Fourth
Liberty Bonds, and when the
race is. won and \ve are Waving*
the Hag oT victory over a beaten
race we < in rise proudly.to our

skies: “Our troops went for-
ward. and we did not fail
them!” .
One subject for discussion
has been cut off. It will be no
use arguing whether beer is an
innocent or harmful drink when
ff is an unobtainable one.
.. It is seldom that a man is
pleased at being called an ugly
name, but the marines are
pr.oudJy advertising the fact
that the Germans term them
“devil-dogs.”
It is said that the Red Cross
purchases—lour and a half tons
of chewing gum monthly * for
the American soldiers- in
France. The* power used in
chewing this gum would / be
quite sufficient to run a train
of cars. But as there is no
way to divert it to such a pur-'
pose, o'ui*'boys may continue to
chew. ' *

within one vote <*f enough to

Fletcher Davis of Hondo, field
agent for the State Department
of Agriculture, was in Teague
Friday" and Saturday. A Far-
Btters’ Institute was to have
o
Steen held in Teague Friday and
a Farmers’ Union meeting Sat-
urday afternoon. It was Mr.
Davis’ intention to met. with
both these farmers’ gatherings.
The Spanish influenza epidemic,
however, caused both of them
to be postponed until u Jatei'
dftte. • Being a newspaper man,
and having a natural? “hankef-
ing” for a newspaper office, Mr.
fJtivis called at the Chronicle
office, and presented his card,
the introduction of which runs
something like this; “I wish to

About the latest and most
novel treat to I the Chronicle
i
force was a package of shelled
green peas mailed to us from
Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Holland of
Russell. Texas, Saturday. It is
needless to state that all fami-
lies engaged in the production
of this newspaper had peas for
dinner Sunday. And, so far as
the writer is concerned? it was
by far the best war time dinner
he and his family have enjoyed
in many a day. How Mr. and
Mrs. Holland knew we had had
no opportunity* to get green
beans and peas for some weeks
is a laVger problem than we are
able just now to solve. It was
a true reminder of the good old
days, the only element lacking
being a large piece of country
bacon with the rind on it tp
l>oil with the peas. However, h
bit of ordinary high priced com-
thejpound sufficed and the meal was
enjoyed.

Cars : Parts : Service
\ • i « - 4s
/ ;
• In buying an automobile there should/be two main factors foi'
consideration, if the purchaser expects to derive the maximum of service
from his car at a minimum of expense and trouble. These two features
are: First, Durability of the car; Second, An accessible parts supply.
The owner will be affected by these agencies either to his benefit or his
detriment. „ .
Durability of the Car.
An automobile must have the durability to withstand the service
of the owner under all conditions of weather, roads, etc.v and with a
minimum expenditure for upkeep. In Freestone county a car must stand
up under unfavorable road conditions sometimes. It must have a power-
ful engine for pulling hills, sandy roads and other unfavorable conditions,
with a light lx>dy, tires large enough for the car but small enough for
economical upkeep, and also a radiator which will properly cool the
engine. The latter is a very important item. The CHEVROLET FOUR-
NINETY has these features.
Accessibility to Car Parts.
You have often heard and seen that many car owners are forced
to be without the iuse of then cars a great part of the time on ac-
count of having to send.-to the large city dealer and then to the factory
usually for the. smallest and seemingly unimportant part. In fact there
are now, under war conditions, very few automobile* for which parts can
be procured with any degree of promptness at all. And.no owner will
deny but that he will need a part now and then, which while costing
very little, is'indispensable to the operation of the car. He must tie his
cal- up, usually when he needs it most, and order the part from some
distant.factory' where labor is short and other industrial'conditions-are
strained, then wait patiently for its delivery. This difficulty is never
experienced by the Chevrolet owner. We maintain at all times a full
stock of parts and accessories for-all. models of .Chevrolet Cars* in our
Parts Department in Teague, and will take special care of the needs of
the many Chevrolet owners in Freestone county. Chevrolet owners have
no parts to order from factories or distant cities, no long waits, no dis-
appointments—but instead that continuous service that should be ex-
pected of a good automobile made .and' backed bj it reliable company.
And you should be a happy Chevrolet owner, like nl -n.v others.
Summing up what we have tried to lay )*f\re you in the above,
we ask not only should you not buy aChevrolet, but why should you, in
justice to yourself, consider any other when von think of purchasing a
car? Our Mr. Rhea will take pleasure in explaining any phase of' the
matter you may desire to know more about. Come in to see-us today.
