NO CHANCE FOR AN ARGUMENT. 



When you and the "man next door" have those 

 Sunday morning discussions, you differ on many 

 points. 



Makes of tires, brands of oil, body design, rela- 

 tive merits of fours, sixes and eights — all of these 

 you can find arguments for and against. 



But when you consider storage batteries you 

 agree that the Willard satisfies all your require- 

 ments for starting and lighting. And nobody 

 questions the value of Willard Service Stations — 

 they have proved indispensable to owners every- 

 where. 



If you haven't learned the advantages of an 

 acquaintance with Willard, now's the time to 

 begin. 



Willard performance and service are two big 

 elements in the successful operation of 85% of 

 American makes of electrically equipped motor 

 cars. 



We are agents and service station of Willard

The Egotism of Youth. 



It was commencement evening. A 

 youth rose to deliver his oration. His sub- 

 ject was "Light." He began: 



" 'In the beginning God said, Let there 

 be Hght : and there was light.' Now let 

 us consider some of the modern improve- 

 ments." — Canadian Monthly. 



Less Than Human, 

 Tom, the country six-year-old, pre- 

 senting himself one day in even more 

 than his usual state of dust and dis- 

 order, was asked by his mother if he 

 would not like to be a little city boy,

 Monthly. 



Interrupted Story.

 using on the street and rushed back, his 

 eyes flashing fire. I thought he'd surely 

 knock the other man's brains out and I 

 stepped right in between them." 



The }'Oung son of the family had be- 

 come so hugely interested in the narra- 

 tive as it proceeded that he had stopped 

 eating his pudding. So proud was he 

 of his father's valor his eyes fairly 

 shone, and he cried : 



"He couldn't knock any brains out of 

 you, could he, father?" 



Father looked at him long and ear- 

 nestly, but the lad's countenance was 

 frank and open. 



Father gasped slightly and resumed 

 his supper. — Lippincott's Magazine.
