NEW CHEVROLET ATTRACTS 'ATTENTION OF MANY The new 1932 Chevrolet, as an nounced last Friday would be on dis play at the Shade Motor Company Dec 6th, has been attracting a great aeai oi attention on the part of the public since it was received and placed on the floor among people wno may pian to become the owner of one or those who would merely lie to do so. it is a really beautiful car and according to specification an nouncements, is a much improved car over the older models.

It has BDout aa tne conveniences and a ap- purleiittiiuus to be found in any car nowadays, regardless of price, and a certain number of mechanical which doubtless will be ex plained to the public through their advertising from time to time, have added to its already excellent per formance. So far as the writer's personal views sre concerned, it is a perfectly nifty little boat and worth all the money asked only if we had been designing it we would have retained the sun visor over the windshield. It impresses one like a bill-less cap I certain little something lacking to complete it but it Is not vital. The main thing is whether the con trivance will get you there and get you back, and it looks like" it is fully capable oi doing this. NEW INDUSTRIES Two new industries sre being launched st this time, neither pretentious, yet both fraught with pos sibilities and with proper management very likely to become pronounced suc cesses.

One of these is a grist mill, estab lished st the east end of Twelfth street by Gilbert Carter, for the pur pose of producing corn meal and stock feeds and doing a custom grinding business. Farmers are invited to bring then corn to him. where they may have meal manufactured at much lower price than they can purchase it on the market or can have chops or roughage made for stock feed. A great saving can be effect ed for those who have corn over the amount they wouM bo out if they sold the corn and bought meal or feed with the money, and he also will buy com outright if one desires. All over the country, we read in various news papers, the smalP community grist mill is being revived and farmers are going beck to the old custom of grinding their own breadstuffs and feeds as they used to do, and with facilities for it most likely the same custom will be revived here.

Another tew industry, if each ft may be called, is the establishment of a plant nursery by J. B. Berry st his home on -Ferguson avenue, which thus far is being devted hugely to evergreens snd other er.vam.-nial plants and shrubs for lawns sad home premises. Mr. Berry has plenty room oa a vacant lot sdjnininr bis home for such plants aad plans to gtre much attention future to this sort of busmes.

Have Net Already Assisted Your Favorite ss Thte Casspaiga be Sure to do a This Week er if You Have Oajy Given a Short Tern Subeeriptica Extend it to Five Years. Tho highest credit record offer oa subscription money terminated last Friday night The candidates worked hard and benefited so equally that today all are knotted tight in the battle for leadership, so it depends entirely upon the results obtained from now on by each individual as to who the ultimate winner wijl be. Hence, the struggle for supremacy will probably be fought out this week while every $20 earns 80,000 extra credits. Enthused by the great opportunity to win the choice of a beautiful new automobile, a trip to Europe or $60O cash on December aa, the worker are making the race a most exciting one and all re going after subscrip-.

tions hi earnest Already it appears that the credit totals will grow faster this week than they have at any time thus far. AH are coming to a com- plete realization of the meaning of the extra credits and are striving to. get every $20 club possible before Friday night, Dee, 11th. when tne. 80,000 extra credit offer ends.

An Important Week There is no limit to the number of $20 clubs a person may have, no one can have too many. The more of them a person secures, the better the opportunity of being the proud owner of a new automobile or a large sum of money. Better win by a mile than lose, by a foot and the latter is what some of wie candidates are likely to do, if they neglect to take advantage of tha $20 clubs while they earn 80.000 extra credits. It is impossible. to over-estimate' the importance of this week.

To some it -will mean a glorious victory, to others who fail to take advantage of the opportunity, it will mean defeat The sure rosd to success is do ing a little better than the next best This is the to increase your credit" totals and make -certain of the award of your The workers all seem to have plung ed into this week on their toes. The question before all is, who will be first when the credits are counted oa each report day and who will get the lead Friday night for. the fast and furious finish on DecemberllthT It is going to be full of thrills. Every hour, every minute and every flashing second mesns a great deal to the person who wishes to win the first grand award and the honor which goes with it The Democrat-Argus is justly proud of its energetic workers who striving wiw increasing uetcuul nation to build up their credit totals toward earning large sums of money. Hard work now will count for more than all the regrets in the world, after the race is lost Community Spirit Not only is each contender striving to win the best award, but community spirit is manifesting great credit pro ducing power, you have a neighbor who is in the campaign, it is your personal duty to see that she is not defeated by someone else.

It is not only a neighborly thing to do but it will make your friendship closer. The lodge or dub or circle of friends to which a worker belongs should step right up now and cast their strength into the rsce. Suppose one of your number is close to the top and is defeated because you were a laggard, you would be enternally ashamed to think of your part in the defeat Have you a personal friend or business acquaintance in this Then help her to win. It only takes a few minutes to call a list of your friends snd they will be glad to give their subscriptions to your favorite. A five-year subscription gives the biggest help.

If you have already given a subscription for a shorter time, extend it to five years. Long term subscriptions will be an important factor in the winning line-up. BEAUTY CULTURE NOW A LEADING INDUSTRY Exploitation ef the personal hy giene element as an aid to beauty, along with successful selling appeal, have built up in America a compar atively new industry which now ranks among the first ten, the beauty busi ness with an estimated annual volume of approximately $1,000,000,000, according to Cancannon, Chief of the Chemical Division of the Depart ment of Commerce. This element of personal hygiene, the incorporation of cleanliness in cosmetology, and the increasing consciousness of men regarding personal appearance have aQ contributed to bring aa enormous expansion in the use of toiletries, perfumes, cosmetics, lotions, facial soaps, etc, as well as a rapid development the field of beauty services.

They estimate that this load will comprise about .8000 bales, which will be furnished from several towns 'in this, section, includ ing Hayti and Caruthersville, and Leacfiviue, nector ana ciymeviue Arkansas. The tow will stop at Eloise, and pick up about 2500 bales from Dyersburg, also, and will depart probably about tiie 15th for its first Iihproveff "methods of loading are being employed, a large derrick lifting six bales at a time onto the barges and obviating the trouble of rolling them on the dirt of the banks and putting them aboard by "man All stocks are kept covered with tar paulins up to the time ol loadmg to protect them from the elements; these precesses assuring that no damage will be done them by weather or soil.

Immense stocks of cotton yet exist in this section and since river shipments are considerably cheaper -than rail it is likely that the Dillman interests will continue this service for some time, particularly if they find the ep erations yield anything a fair rev turn. At this time large stocks of cotton alia are on the river front in the vicin- itev. of the Lee Line Warehouse and above, barres operated by the Davis Towtjr Company of Memphis being tx XlS'proeess oi losuing. we unoer-staad a cargo of around 8,000, bales will be taken out by this too soon, which is probably the largest yet loaded from this point up to this time.

FRANK REID Frank Reid. charged with complic ity in the hold-up and robbery of J. L. Bradshaw of St Louis on Highway 61 near Portageville last April and who disappeared on the day his trial was to be held during the-July term of the circuit court here, showed up in this city yesterday and gave hjm- gr up to cniM ui runes jonn nosier, who turned him over to the jailer. He is now being held in the county jail for further disposition of his case It will be recalled that E.

and Troma Lonon, who were jointly accused with Reid, were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment and were taken to the penitentiary a few weeks ago in lieu of bond awaiting the perfecting of an appeal in their eases. Last week the Circuit Court declared a judgment for the $5000 bond given by Reid, in which a forfeiture previously bad been taken, his- bondsmen being Messrs. Bill Monan, A. E. Shaw and Clyde Lonon, and it is entirely possible that this judgment will be set aside, since the principal has made his appearance again.

Chief Hosier states that Reid said he had been here and there over the country and waited till the court was fat session before giving himself up, being confident that be could not again furnish bond if he came in.

Louis HQler were un fortunate in losing their Hudson car Sunday afternoon about three miles out of this city on Highwsy 84 when it caught on fire. The car seemed to sputter and back-fire and Mr. Hiller got out and raised the hood to see what was the matter when he discover! it was on fire. They to obtain aid to put it out, Mrs. Hiller even coming back to this city to see if the local fire department could aid them, but was informed it being out of the corporation they were unable to do so.

Mr. and Mrs. Hiller had started on a short hunting trip and they were really in a pecarious situation, because of the ammunition in the ear, for had they not alighted from it at the proper time it might have proved serious for them. They had insnraace, we understand, but probably not sufficient to cover. GETS HIS DEER Ob ye Coker.
