"I Like Dixie Service"
"When I buy things I like to think that I'm doing
more than trading dollars formers products. It may
sound silly in this era of hard-boiled business, but I
like to feel that I'm buying service, and a courteous
interest in my needs and desires.
"That's why I always drive into a Dixie Station.
I'm sure I'm getting the best products—and there is
a spontaneous courtesy and interest that every woman driver appreciates so mudh.

After Viewing Accident
Homesick  Pair Reported  to  Mayor
Sugden and Were Returned
to Farmington.
•Two Farmington girls, Geraldine
Butler, 12, and Virginia Holmes, 15,
ran away-from school Friday because
their parents scolded them, and
started for Chicago. All went well
with the two until they reached Ypsilanti. Here they were forced to
travel on foot. They walked towards
Saline for a distance of about two
miles and an. automobile rah -over
and killed a small white dog that
had followed them for a short distance. ..
Fear of a similar fate in the darkness and sympathy for the small animal turned to remorse and homesickness, and when a motorist
brought the travelers to Saline they
immediately bagan to look for some
means of getting back to their
homes. Finally they reported tneir
plight to Mayor Mark B. Sugden,
who notified officials at Farmington.
It was not long before.*the. parents of
the two were in Saline and took the
girls to their homes.

M.   H. "DeFoe,   keen   observer  of
Michigan  affairs,  says  the horrible,
suspicion has been growing o'n him
of late that a lot of the boys arei
deliberately having themselves sent
to prison for a few months in order ;
to get in out of the storms of depresr ;
sion, where they know they will dine
with regularity and at the same time
avoid financial worries.    The Charlotte editor also opines .that most- of
the prisoners are in a much better'
mental- condition, .than   the average
