Three prime qualities you look for in a motor car are beauty, comfort ,and power. These three qualities are well combined in the
Nash Six.
You will like its beauty of line from radiator to tail light.
Its double-cowled, .aiirline body, a deep Nash blue, penciled with
gold, is swung low upon a clean, strong chassis of 121-inch wheelbase.
The Nash airline body is so designed and constructed as to offer
the least possible resistance to the atmosphere when the car is in motion,, Its well-upholstered seats are deep and wide and so shaped that
they form a restful support for their occupants.
Both back and front compartmdnts are roomy and the car carries
five passengers with space to spar,e.
Lang isemi-elliptic springs for a car of this size, 40 inches in front
an,d 56 inches in rear, let the car take its passengers over the r.oad
most comfortably. And it gots its unusual power and quick "piclc-up"
from its deep-breathing Nath Perfected "Valve-in-Head Motor.
THE NASH PERFECTED VALYE-IN-HEAD MOTOR
The deep-breathing Nash Perfected Valve-in-Head Motor has abundant power for every motoring use aind has its greatest power at aver>-
age driving speeds.
Its power" is due to its unusual breathing capacity. It is the deep-
breathing motor-
By greater breathing capacity is meant the ability of the motor to
get more gases into its cylinders, filling them—its lungs—more complete'.y before each explosion). The better a motor breathes, the more
powerful its explosions), and oif course, the more power it puts into the
drive of the ear.
Because the straight, smooth passages Of the valve^in-head motor
offeic less resistance to the gases coming into the cylinders than do the
curved rough ones of other types of motor, the valvej-in.-h.ead has the
greatest breathing capacity.
But in addition to this natural advantage, Nash engineers have
further improved and perfected the valve-in-head type until the Nash
Perfected Valve-in-Head Motor has greater breathing capacity than
any df its size used in passenger motor veliicles-
This extraord|ilnai;y breathing capacity is secured by providing
exti'-a large valves, high valve lifts and; straightening and enlarging
the passages from carburetor to cylinders.
Its pistons are light and perfectly balanced and its crank and caan
shaifts are suflieientjly heavy to eliminate all vibration.
As it sets in the car, it is clean-cut and titfm,-lo6king, haviing much
the same appearance as a smooth block of steel. "•

A RVRAL MAIL CARRIER
Government's Job Isn't The Sinecure
That Some Imagine.
"The r.ural mail carriers have a
snap," we overheard a man say the
other day, "They get $100 per* month
for about half time work. That sure
beats farming according to my way
of figuring-"
The editor was within ear-shot and
that §100 per did sound pretty good,
so yesterday we tackled one of the
Chelsea carriers about it, but he soon
had tls convinced that the ?100 per
isn't all "velvet."
It sure costs intone^ to travel: 30
miles and upwards per day and this
particular carrier figures that it
costs him §40 each month. And we
believe his figures are conservative,
for we have been figuring a little on
the proposition ourselves,
Assuming   that   one   could   use   a
Ford car for each trip and the route
was covered 300 times each year, our
estimate runs as follows:
Depreciation   and  repairs   on
car for one year  $200.00
Tires, on basis of 3,000 miles
per set, for total mileage of
9,000, 2 extra sets   150.00
Gasoline,,    average    2    gallons
daily at least .120.00
Oil,  grease,  etc,     10.00
34S0.00
Interest @ 6 per cent     28.80
Total  expense $508.80
Now deducting this expense from
the total yearly salary, $1,200„ leaves
$691.20, which divided by 12 gives a
monthly wage of $57-60, not such a
princely sum for a married man with
a family in this, time of high prices.
There is an old saying to the effect
that figures won't lie but that Mars
will figure. However,, we've tried
our best to be truthful in this instance and we submit that the .rural
mail carrier's job is no such sinecure,
as some would have us believe.—

ANOTHER CHEERY LETTER
FROM TRACY LEBARON
Has   Been   Enjoying   June   "Weather
"While   We   Halve   Been
Freezing.
Camp Greene, Charlotte, N, C,
Dear Folks:
It has been quite a long time since
I wrote you, but that isn't because I
do not think of you often.
At Camp Mills we were either doing camp work or else were kept busy
hustling the fire wood to keep .from
freezjing. Then at times we were
down to New York City or1 New Roch-
elle visiting, so there didn't seem to
be much chance to write. I am all
taken up, as they say, with the climate down her.e,. The days from
eight o'clock in the morning until five
o'clock in the evening are just like
June;" but at night, or as soon .as the
sun sets), it gets pretty chilly and
freezes quite hard.
The grass is dead here and there
aren't many leaves left on the hardwood trees; but most of the trees are
pines, like the one lin the front yard
at home, so with so many of these, it
looks nice and green all around. I
wish I had a kodak, that I might
send you some interesting pictures
of the southerners, both white and
black, showing you how they live. It
is comical to see the colored people,
which by the way comprise about
two^thirds of the population herein the morning when it is frosty, they
always build a bonfire;' heat seems
to be as essential to their existence
as air. Lazy is no name for the disposition of them, and, the greater
part of the whites as well.
Up in Virginia especially, everything is in a run down and sadly neglected condition; but nevertheless,
for being picturesque, I have never
seen its equal. That so many songs
and books are written about Virginia
Ss no wonder, .for it would inspire
anyone with any literary genlius, I
'have talked with some off the native
southerners though, and they say that
in the extreme eastern part of Virginia the people .are more energetic
anq things, in general do not look so
much neglected.
To stand and; watch one of the
roads here in camp is Just as good as
a circus parade. There are soldiers,
artillery outfits, freight wagons, usually drawn by four or1 six mules,
machine guns, packs ' on mules,
mounted police .and in. fact every conceivable .kind, of war outfits are on the
move here all the time,
The largest remount station in the
United States -is here and they have
about 3,000 head df borses and mules
now, more mules than horses, - They
ride them, drive them single .and use
them any place a horse may -be used;
in the country.      \
Most of the- southern cities look
sloppy, just as the Virginia farms
do, but Charlotte is an exception. It
is a very nice cjity and harbors an
exceptionally good class of .people.
The whites here are very refined.
If a soldier wishes to become acquainted with a young lady, he has
to do so formaSlly and properly. The
parents look up the young man's reputation, even write his parents for
lit, I have been told this by those
who have had the actual experience.
There are about sixty churches in
Charlotte and' most of the whites ai-e
members. I'll attend some good
M, E, one Sunday if I can get a pass.
Will send you some post card views
of Charlotte soon.
Your soldier,
SERGT„ T, C LEBARON.

Has anyone noticed how cheerful
and "inspiring the news in the city
papers is getting of late? You stand
on one foot _ an hour or two, kicking
with the other to keep warm until
the train gets in, late, as usual, and
then sit down to a' lot of cheerful
headlines like this—"Another. Colcf

—Gasoline Going to 40 Cents—Save

until you couldn't feel any worse if
the doctor said "it's twins," Anyone
who can be an optimist these days is
in line for a snap job cheering up the
