Two major divisions of the country have been made, with an assistant general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor company in charge of each. D. E. Ralston has the western half of the United States and M. D. Douglas the eastern half. Each of these sections has been further sub-divided. The Flint sales region has been pitted against the Atlantic Coast region, the Southeastern region against the Middle West region, and the Great Lakes region against the Pacific Coast. Every one of the forty-three zone sales offices in the United States also has been squared away against another zone; cities are competing against cities, as are dealer organizations and individual salesmen. ^ In this manner everV man in the entire selling organization and every dealer in every section of the country gets an opportunity to demonstrate his ability to outsell his competitor and win himself a turkey dinner. Officials in the sales department of the home office have gone into the field to aid various groups. R. R. Grant, vice-president in charge of the sales, has gone to the Great Lakes region for one week and then will move to other regions; tt. J. Klingler, general sales manager, is stationed on the Pacific Coast; Mr. Ralston is concentrating on the Middle West; Mr. Douglas on the Southeast; R. K. White, sales promotion manager, has the Atlantic Coast; and Sidney Corbett, manager of the truck division is located in the Flint region. Mr. Grant, in an address to dealers at the beginning of the contest stated that Chevrolet plans to sell 71,451 cars this month. He also stated that selling conditions in October loom considerably brighter than in September. * ' .<*• IMP SCOTT WATSON Nut a to 'Feed World The nut trees of the world, It la calculated, could provide food all the year round for the population of the globe.

Mary Read, the Woman Pirate npHE history of piracy lists at least f t£ree wgmgc's nargej among {he promlhent "brethren or the coast"-- Mary Read. Anne Bonny, the "wife of Calico Jack Rackham, and Maria Cobham, the "wife" of Captain Cobham-- but of the three, Mary Read Is perhaps the most interesting character. She was born In London of obscure parentage, although It Is said that her mother was a "young and airy widow." ghe was brought up as a boy and at the age of -thirteen became a footboy for a French lady. But life fn this household was too quiet for Mary so she ran away to sea and enlisted on a man-of-war. Next she Is listed as a deserter and soon afterwards We find her enlisted In a regiment of Infantry to fight in Flanders. Desiring a change, she left the foot soldiers and enlisted In a regiment of cavalry where she fell In love with one of her fellow troopers, a Fleming, to whom she disclosed the secret of her sex. They were married and after obtaining a discharge opened an Inn, the Three Horj&ehoes, near the castle of Breda. Then Mary's husband died and she once more put on a man's attire and enlisted In a regiment in Holland. Again she deserted and shipped on a vessel for the West Indies. When this ship was cftptured by Calico Jack RaAham, the pirate, Mary decided that a bit of pirating would be a welcome variation of her checkered career, so she willingly enrolled in his company of cutthroats Soon afterwards Captain Rackham sailed to the Bahamas and took advantage of the royal pardon offered all pirates who would give themselves up. Then Mary enlisted on a privateer sent out by Gov. Woodes Rogers to prey upon the Spanish shipping and she had a prominent part In the mutiny which resulted In her becoming a pirate again. Again she sailed under the leadership of Calico Jack, who by this time had with him that other celebrated woman pirate, .Anne Bonny. Among one of the prisoners taken near Jamaica was a "young fellow of engaging behavior," and Mary's heart succumbed to his charms. This man became engaged in a quarrel with one of the pirates and, according to pirate law, they prepared to go ashore and flght It out. But Mary, to save her lover, picked a quarrel with the pirate, then and there forced a fight upon him and dispatched him with «word,and pistol. Having proved her devotion in this Amazon^ fashion, she married the young fellow, but not long after the whole pirate crew were taken prisoners. Mary was tried with the rest, convicted and sentenced to death but died of the fever In prison before the gallows could claim her. <©. 1926, Western Newspaper Union.) Decline of the Apron The apron Is worn today by the woman who Is not ashamed to work, but In earlier centuries It was an article of clothing assumed by arlstocracy and even royalty. The word has undergone a curious decapitation; It was originally "a napron," but the "nn became affixed to the wrong letter. The opposite process occurred In "an ekename," which was eventually transformed. Into "a nickname." tfi* Mean Revenge A fish peddler in Australia has dig* covered a new method of revenge against the woman who Jilted him for a local prohibition leader. Twice a week he stops his cart In front of the woman's home and goes around to the rear with a bag In his hand. Returning to the cart he removes numerous empty beer bottles from the bag and lines them up in a row beside the cart. The neighbors do not suspect that tie carries them In with him. Wealth'* Disadvantages When a man is prosperous distant relatives come very close it they can. When he goes broke even d&r relatives become very distant Wealth has its disadvantages Just as poverty has, and It takes a philosopher to* choose wisely between them.--Grit. \ r Bargains DOLLAS DAY, SATURDAY, OOTOBEB IB, McHEWBY, ILLINOIS •Hk.

Paye to Protect Wren The hoove ^ren is one of the most sociable and confiding of birds, and on this account they wiU build their nests In little houses that are built for them, no matter how close is to a human habitation, says the American Forestry association. Furthermore, the wren is one of the most vatuable of birds, for It feeds entirely, on Insects and thus helps to save the trees and the vegetables In the garden from the pests which would eat them. The wren builds Its nest of grass or weeds stuffed Into any create* that takes its fancy. * 'it'"*?-*' ' • 1 Wiii. ^ i-.: Singular I line** - "Sir--One of our operators Is quite hoarse.
