FRANKLIN CAR
SEE ITS MANY
THRIFT FEATURES.
A man once remarked that the faculty of judgment cannot
come into play without mature experience.
One reason, perhaps why the motorist of experience looks
upon the Franklin as his ultimate car.
Now is a Rood time to pass judgment yourself - on the basic
principles of Franklin construction.
See how Franklin Scientific Light Weight has developed the
most practical, economical and efficient fine car in America.
How Direct Air Cooling does away with the 177 complicated
parts of plumbing that make up a water cooling system. How
freezing in winter is avoided—and overheating in summer—and
expense that goes with both.
See just why full-elliptic springs and Franklin resiliency are
essential to real motor car comfort.
How Franklin simplicity, light weight and quality of material
and workmanship have made the Franklin the easiest rolling car
built.
These are the Franklin basic principles that have started the
trend toward the Franklin since the cost of gasoline and tires went
up.
To know the Franklin meets war conditions- you must get
posted. See the Franklin today.

To the citizen* of McKlnney and

various parts of the State, that the
citizens ot this county are more ununi
niouslv and effectively observing 'lie
government food regulations than the
citizens of any other county in the
Slate. I say this, not to their con-
demnation, but to your edification.
The men who are in charge of this
most important phase of the work of
winning the war (food conservation is
fundamental in winning the war) are
proud of ihe people of foilin county.
I desire tu extend to you my sincere*!
congratulation* and express to you my

We suggest l hat in each < oininunit v,

II. In addition to this united plan,
each School should send a written in-
vitation io every family, member of
church and school, and all prospective
members, urging them to some to
their particular School and Church.
■I. Likewise a special invitation ov-
er i tie phone to these lo attend.
5. Attendance slips should he hand-
ed io each person at the door, for
iheir name and address, for the pur-
pose of conservation. In later giving
a welcome and further invitation to
attend again.
<1. If each School has its regular pro-
gram of opening and closing, and the
full lesson period, with visitors assign-
ed lo classes, all will obtain a correct
estimate of the value of the modern
School and he more apt to become reg
iilai* members thereof!er
7. With these general plans, the day
will become a success and thousands
of new members should be enlisted in
study of the Bible. Thus the vast ar-
my of over One Million already en-
listed in Texas, ami over ao.iittii.onii in
he World, will he materially increas-
ed, and all will he better prepared to
meet the new conditions and readjust
merit following the War? The future
of the World will largely depend upon
America's leadership, and we should
be daily preparing for a better leader
ship.
When it is fully understood that
men and women are being enlisted b>
tin1 thousands, there being more than
7.H00 men and 7,mm women I tuning
new members each Sunday of the year
anil the increasing Church program of
service is being belter worked out
through tliesi organized classes, It Is
becoming more popular and easier lo
enlist the iniiii and woman. The or-
ganized class movement among the
younger people in the teens has solv-
ed the problem of the future leader-
ship. by giving an attractive program
worthy of the growing anil developing
boy and girl.
Each local committee is asked to
kindly mail, not later than Monday a
detailed report of each school In the
community and county, as ui the en-
rolled membership anil attendance on
