LOOKING INTO
THE FUTURE
When purchasing a truck, one of the first con
siderations is to look into the future to deter
mine whether that truck will be doing the same
economical and serviceable work at the end of
the first year that it does when purchased.
That is an all important question. And In
ternational Motor Trucks have been answering
it satisfactorily for a long number of years.
An International gives the same economical
service at the end of the first year, yes, the
second and the third year, that it does when
first going on the job.

NATURE CLUB'S
BOX CONTEST
Grcencastlc Organization Of
fers Prizes For Birdhouses
Sent in by Town Folks
Grccncastlo, Pa., Feb. 15. —For the
purpose of interesting the people of
this community in making and put
ting up bird houses, the Senior Chap
ter of the Greencastle Nature Club
has decided to hold a birdbox con
test. The club will offer six cash
prizes: First price, $10; second, $5;
third, $2, and three prizes of $1 each.
The contest is open to all residents of
the township (including the mem
bers of the Junior Nature Club).
The conditions are as follows;
Boxes must be turned in to the Na
ture Club before March 15, the day
the contest closes. Each contestant
must make his own box or boxes.
Each box must have a tag attached
to it on which the name of the own
er shall be plainly written. Any con
testant may submit more than ope
box, but oniy one prize wil be award
ed to any single contestant.
Prizes will be awarded for tne
boxes which seem to be at once the
safest, most attractive and most com
fotable; that is best fitted for the
use of the birds for which they are
designed. The mere pretentiousness
of a box will not assure it a prize.
The boxes will be placed on ex
hibition and returned to their own
ers within live days after the con
test closes. W. R. Davison 1 rof. B.
S. Whitm'ore and Frank Pensinger,
representing the Nature Club, will

Give it a Chance
There are only two places in your whole
car that need water.
One is the radiator.
The other is the batiery.
If you forget your radiator you'll hear from
it right away.
If you forget your battery, it keeps on
working for a while, but it is damaged just as
surely as your engine would be if you let the
radiator go dry.
Give your battery a chance to make good
by having us add distilled water every week
or so, and test each cell with the Hydrom
eter to make sure that you are keeping up
the charge.
