North Platte Rotary Wants Our .
Citizens To Read This!
Out of years of experience us a penitentiary
warden a prominent Rotarlan wrote us especially
for this educational campaign.
"One. of tho most fruitful sources of crime is il
literacy. Any penitentiary will reveal that not more
than GO per cent of tho Inmates finished grammar
school; less than two per cent enter high school and
less than a fraction of one nor cent remain and
graduato; while practically none go to collcgo. These
facts 'ro significant.
"Crime Is tho result, in uart of a lack of balance.
Education gives balance. How evident it becomes
that society is obligated to leavo nothing undone to
fostor tho education of boys.
"To guide a boy Into channols of education is to
guide him OUT of tho paths that lead downward.
"No boy can faco llfo without an education un
less ho faces it liko a hundred yard dush man
would face a test with, a ton yard handicap. Without
education tho boV finds himself wondering what has
happened that other boys aro selected and ho Is ov
lookcd. and that ho moro readily turns to those
things that result in delinquency.
"Society and that moans ovorybotly has nn
obligation to tho boy that It Ignores at Its nerll. The
derelict In society; tho ono who hates fiercely and
blindly, and tho ono whoso hand is often against cv
ory other man is generally Uio uneducated. Lot us,
educate tho boys and make safe their future."

You havo probably noticed in the past two years, in

the popular thing has been, for former makers of

a "best" Four, to compete with Dodge. It may be
that somo of these cars will give good service, when
thoy have been given tho experience test, buc do you

You want dependability, and you know tho record
