The thousands of motorists who are using DIXIE
Gas, Motor Oils and Greasing Service are wise to
the fact that they get 100% value for every dollar

means service from a group of the state's reliable
independent oil merchants whose business reputations are pledged to the highest standards of quality and service. It means protection for your motor
car investment, and greater driving pleasure.
Use DIXIE Quality and DIXIE Service and your

Friend S.. R.:
Still in the land of sunshine enjoying, not snowbanks but ideal summer.
An unusually ingenious fraudulent
magazine solicitor, using the name of
I John Foster, Jr., is now operating in
[Michigan and   is about due to give
this part of the state a visit.   He was
i in Grass Lake on January 31st, having   previously   made   collections   in
other parts of Michigan after traveling through the south and east.
" Foster poses as an ex-service man
and puts on a few tricks that are
positively uncanny. He claims to
have been so badly wounded that it
was necessary to remove a portion
of his "innerds," Which he says has
resulted in the entire loss of feeling
in his' body. To "'prove this he holds
a lighted match under his fingers or
hand, .evincing no pain. Next he will
stick a pin in his arm without winc-
! ing, to show that it is numb. Lastly
,he will twist his right leg around so
i that the toes will be where the heel
\ §hould be, explaining that his hips
were shot away and that he wore an
aluminum jacket to support his legs
to his body. After such an exhibition
it is easy to understand how readily
Foster   arouses   the   sympathies   of
