Although. Secretary Hoover's report
shews that the country to in a satis-
factory condition. On the otter hand,
it points out sufficient "low spots" so
that we should not become careless
th jUgh overconfidence.
The fiesherman who keeps right on
fishing and who doesn't rock the boat,
is the fellow who brings in the good

WAS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN
FIRE
The tragedy of fire is not that each
year the loss totals over $500.000,000
bat that, according to the National
Board of Fire Underwriters, 86 per
t of the fires are preventable. In
words, at least $430.000,000 an-
ís destroyed because of care-
ignorance or incompetence.
It is Car more of a menace than war,
~vhieh seems an inexpensive pastime
áa f —if srison.
Reports have it that the recent in-
tensive Fire-Prevention movements
have borne fruit, and that 1928 will
ahew leas loss than preceding years.
It to high time the public took advan-
tage at the teachings of experts, and
the terrible examples that every day
ulteiéi Our people cannot have an
na&Sssatohed reputation for wisdom
tetellience as long as this "Fifth
fire, still rides rough-
Bong us.

Hoover, is his report for
the year 1927, declares that the
sate of real wages in the United
Statea during that period "remained
higher than anywhere else in the
world history."
He declares that this high level of
prosperity was the result of a general
and permanent progress, based on
sound fundamentals, giving reason for t
the belief that satisfactory conditions
will continue.
Industry has made great strides in
efficiency, accompanied by the main-
tenance of high wage levels without
rise in price levels. There has been
steady developfent in transportation
facilities, and we have maintained a
commanding position in foreign trade,

BAND TO ENTER STATE
CONTEST
Benefit Concert To Be Given April
The Sixth
The band is hard at work, practic-
ing to entei the state contest which
is to be held in the spring. In order
to raise funds to attend this meet and
to pay for new uniforms, a concert
will be given April the sixth. New-
music will be furnished by the band.
Novelty numbers on the violin will be
rendered by the director. Mr. Lee who
will also give a broom solo.
A letter from E. A. Lightfoot, sec-
retary of the state band associa'ion
was received Friday, reporting a
meeting of the band directors fr m
all over the state to be held in Brack-
enridge, to decide where the band con-
tst will be held.
This met with the approval of the
entire band, and every member deter-
mined to do much practicing in ord*r
to get to go.
It was unanimously decided that
new uniforms were needed if the band
wanted to make a good appearance
at the meet. The new uniforms 'ire
to be of an entirely new style and will
be more pretentious looking than for-
mer ones. The exact design has not
been fully decided upon.
The band is doing very progressive
work now and with the a> J of s- me
encouragement will soon surprise the
town and show what they really can
do.

Were greater beauty their only advantage,
the new engineering principle* of Dodge
Brothers Victory Six would mill be epochsl
and revolutionary.
Were greater safety The Victory's only ad-
ventage, it would still command the grati-
tude of a life-loving world.
Were greater economy its paramount fea-
ture, the fact would still remain that The
Victory has made possible 21 miles per
gallon at 25 miles per hour FOR A SIX.
But these are incidental to the basic Victory
achievement.
You must DRIVE the car to know about that!
And you must unleash the full, sustained
speed of the car before the idea takes full
hold!
Victory design is unlike that oj any other ve-
hicle in the world—and Victory performance
is equally radical and remarkable.
To examine the one and experience the
other will prove an event that we urge you
not to postpone.
