Opening of Spring Sees
Big Increase in Car Sales
The pleasant iragrance of blossom-
ing (lowers, the beautiful green of
countless trees and shrubs, and the
coming of spring seems to have had
its effect on the people! of Red River

there were 26 ne wautomobiles reg-
istered in Clarksvitle. It has been
said that the rains of last week were
■worth a million dollars, and truely
they must have been worth at least
thousands of dollars to local automo-
bile dealers. The sales were 13

Boy Scouts Are
Organized With
Goodly Number
Fifty boys between the ages of 12
and 18 gathered at the. Chamber of
Commerce rooms Friday night and
demonstrated by their enthusiasm
that they are wholeheartedly in favor
of the Boy Scout movement recently
gotten under way by the Rotary Club,
jjpr. f. yr, Hayden, chief scout, and
Frank Filler, chief scout executive,
of Paris addressed the boys, outlin-
ing in detail the qualifications for
becoming a member of the organizer
tion, and the good that will come of
the scout movement in Clarksville if
the proper attention Is given it.
Dr. Hayden, the first of the visitors
to speak, sold the boys on the idea of
scout work. He said there is nothing
In the scout laws that demands any-
thing of the boys. The scout law is
positive*— he said a scout is trustwor-
thy, a scout is loyal, a scout is help-
ful, a scout Is obedient and so on
down the line, including all things
that a boy should be if he is the right
sort.
He said that members of the Boy
Scouts were put on their honor to live
up to the code, and seldom ever would
a real scout violate It.
Dr. Hayden, while not young In
point of years, is still a Boy Scout,
having given a greater part of the
past 10 years in the interest of the
scout movement, being present at ev-
ery meeting of the scouts in Paris and
attending every camping trip they
have made during that time.
Frank Fuller, chief scout executive,
who followed Dr. Hayden, has been
active in boys' work for the past 10
years, devoting his entire time to it.

Be Kind to Animals
Week April 12 to 18
—It's Easy to Pay
for a Chevrolet
sra
Red River Motor Sales Co.
Ac rata From Main Hotel
The week of April 12 to 18 has been
designated Be Kind to Animals Weiek
by the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. While It is fit-
ting and proper that a week be de-
voted to this worthy cause, there Is
no renson why it should not be done
the year round, not only to animals,
hut members of the feathered tribes
as well.
Dr. H. I,. Pearson recently brought
to our attention the fact that a pair
or robins have returned to his place
for the third successive year, mainly,
he thinks, because care Is taken that
the nest and young of these splendid
birds are not molested.
Boys will he boys, and some, per_
haps, do not realise that Instead of
molesting the birds by destroying their
nests or stealing their eggs, they
should be encouraged to build and re-
main hem EveTy boy should have at
least one bird house. Birds, besides
being things ot beauty, destroy mil-
lions of insects annually, rendering
a srent service to everyone.

Miss Barber Addresses
Parents-TeaOhers
The Pareint-Teacher Association
convention held in Paris last week
was said to have been one of the
most successful meetings ever held
by that organization, both In point
ot attendance and work accomplished.
Delegates from practically all clubs
in the third district were In attend-
ance.

partment of Education and ewperts

on the program, covering all phases
of girls' and women's club wrtrk as

Fire Company Holds
Election of Officers
Ford Pumper Added
to Fire Equipment
With the completion of repairs on
the old Ford pumper, the fire fight-
ing equipment of the local fire de-
partment is now in first-class condi-
tion. The smaller pumper will be
used as a reserve unit and will not
be taken out except In case ot big
fires or in making runs to the coun-
try.
The truck has been completely over-
hauled and new driving gears install-
ed, pneumatic tires replace the old
solid tires and a test of the capaolty
of the pump shows that it ts practical
ly as good as when first bought by
the city about eight years ago.
The weight and size of the big Sea-
graves pamper makes runs to the
country Impractical, as there is great
danger of miring down on soft roads.
In addition to the danger of taking
the big truck beyond the city limits,
there are few places in the country
where sufficient water could be found
to supply the pumper, and the small-
er truck will be ideally suited for this
class of work.
Walker-Grant Buys
Ussery Bros. Store
Announcement was made last week
of the purchase of the Baker Variety
Store by Paul and DeWItt Ussery, and

erating the store.
C. W. Walker was in the city the
first of the week making arrange-
ments for taking over the business
and it is understood that the stock
will be sold out at an early date and
Walker-Grant Bargain Store stock
moved to that location.
Cecil Klnsey of Johntown was a
business visitor to Clarksville Satur-
day.
Hail Storms Reported
in Sections of County
, The heavy rain which fell here last
Thursday, the fourth since the drought
was broken by Sunday's downpour,
was accompanied by hall in some sec-
tions of the county, and while some
damage to fruit trees and foliage was
reported, the damage is not thought
to have been very extensive.
The storm did not last long, but Is
some sections north and northeast of
Detroit the ground was completely
covered, some of the hall stones be-
ing as large as hen eggs. Apparently
the storm was more severe In mow
sections than others.
At Paris and Blossom, especially the
latter place, some damage was re-
ported from the hail, while at Powder-
ly over 100 windows were broken is
the Gulf Pipe Line pumping station.
Comparatively little damage Is
thought to have been done to crops,
as they are not far enough advanced
at this time.
Cars Collide on
Square Thursday
A Chevrolet touring car and a Ford
coupe locked honrs at the corner of
Walnut and Broadway Thursday eve-
ning about 8, o'clock, and aside from

tle other damage was done.
The Chevrolet was owned by Lin'
Slvley and driven by his son, Gaines,
and the coupe was driven by the'
porter at the Brewer Hotel.
