With a total of 65,041 automobiles produced during March, the Chevrolet Motor Company smashed all previous monthly records for a single month's production of modern 3-speed transmission motor cars by any automobile manufacturer. • • • A new manufacturing record js practically assured for April production. Originally the March schedule was set for 57,500 cars. It was increased when demands from dealers indicated sales would be far ahead of the proposed schedule. The total March production, with twenty-five working days in the month, averaged over 2,601 cars daily, and represents a total increase in production over March, 1925, of 23,658, when 41,383 cars were manufactured. The two preceding months of January and February also set records. In January 1926, 46,182 units were produced, three tiifes the cars made in January, 1926. In February 1926, 51,303 cars were made, nearly twice the production of February, 1925. An Unprecedented and steady demand during the winter months for the new improved Chevrolet models is responsible for the setting of new production figures, which have kept night and day shifts at the factory working at high pressure.

A certain Illionois edilor who is a believer in "yellow" journalism ran this as a leading editorial: "The business man of this city who is in the habit of hugging his stenographer, had better quit or we will publish his name."

MCKINLEY Every Republican ex-service man in the state is urged in resolutions adopted by the Illinois Republican Veterans organization to vote for Senator William B. McKiniey on April 13. b Pointing out that McKinley's opponent is supported fr®' the champion of recognition of Bolshevistic Russia, a Missouri democrat and a third party senator from Minnesota, whose purpose is to discredit President Coolidge and weaken the Republican majority in the Senate, the veterans ask that all honorable means be used to nominate and reelect the senator. The resolution adopted by the organizations is as follows: "WHEREAS, THE ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN VETERANS, (Incorporated), the first permanent, republican organization of service men in Illinois, are interested in the selection of the choice of the Republican party for the major office of United States Senator; and "WHEREAS, great care should be exercised in the selection of the candidate supported, and p a r t i c u l a r a t t e n t i o n should be given to the {republicanism and the regularity of each candidate, and the service rendered by each candidate to our comrades; and "WHEREAS, upon careful examination of the records of the candidates we find the following to be true: "That methods have been used to secure the support of service men for Frank L. Smith that are abhored by Republicans generally and by service men particularly, among which are: "Attempts to bring the American Legion as an organization into partisan politics,--a policy that is prohibited by the constitution of that great organization, "A strong effort to convey the impression that 'Colonel' Frank L. Smith is one of our comrades,--when as a matter of fact he attained the title of 'Colonel' solely by virtue of his service on the social staff of the Governor of Illinois. "An attempt to punish Smith's opponent, William B. McKiniey, because Senator McKiniey obeyed the resolutions adopted by the National Convention of the American I^egion endorsing immediate favorable action in the Senate of the United States for adherence to the permanent court of internationol justice; the American Legion by formal resolution declared that the securing of favorable action by the Senate adhering to the court of international justice should be the principal present objective of that organization. "Smith's supporters 'have falsely stated his opponents position on the bonus question; "They have brought into Illinois to support Smith's candidacy, "Borah, the champion of the Russian Bolshevistic government, "Reed, the outlaw Democrat, and "Shipstead, the third party senator, this being done in an attempt to discredit the republican President and weaken the republican majority in the Senate. "We find that the supporters of Senator William B. McKiniey have never tried to mislead the service men of Illinois but they have merely submitted his record in behalf of the service men, of which the following is illustrative: "Senator McKiniey as a member of Congress gave every aid to the service men during the war and continued that service after the war, and aided the return of the American troops. Senator McKiniey has handled more service men's claims for compensation than any other Senator at Washington. "Senator McKiniey has been an early, consistent, earnest and large contributor to the cause of the service men; and especially to disabled veterans; and "WHEREAS, we as Republicans stand shoulder to shoulder against Russian Bolshevism, party insurgency? and all attempts to wreck the Republican party, or to punish our friends, "Now, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that we, the Illinois Republican Veterans, do hereby endorse the candidacy of WILLIAM B. McKINLEY for the United States Senator, and we ask every Republican service man in Illinois to vote for him at the Republican primaries April 13th, 1926, and to do all honorable things to secure his nomination, and thus insure Republican victory at the'November election.

Patriotic Pride The term "God's country" Is often applied to a nation or country by Its sons and daughters.
