You can buy a Chevrolet just as you buy any other important necessity. Not one family in a thousand pays cash in full for a home. They make a substantial down payr.ent, then pay off the mortgage with what they used to pay for rent, plus other savings, and in a few years obtain full title to a home of (heir own. This most popular and most cccnomical family car is just another home â€" but on wheels. It takes the whole family evenings and holi- days to where they are eager to go, and daily transports one or more of the family's workers to and from their business, therefore all tho family gladly helps to pay for it. It can be bought just as you buy a stationary home. It earns its way and you ride while you pay. It is the best paying investment any family can make because it provides transportation, saves time, and makes all outdoors your playground, bringing health and happiness to the whole family. , Superior Chevrolet Touring PRICE DELIVERED $798.00 Superior 4-Pa8senger Coupe PRICE DELIVERED $1133.00 Superior Chevrolet Roadster PRICE DELIVERED $789.00 j We would be glad to show you 1 i the different models and explain I I how easy it is to get, use and pay | for them. 1 m THE Flesherton Advance W.

THURSTON, Editor A REVELATION Mitchell, now a successful lawyer in Chicago, which seems to convey a sentiment that all our correspondents entertain, namely that the articles were "exceptionally fine," both from a literary standpoint and from a point of interest in the literary pictures drawn therein of doin's in the old home town. Mr. Mitchell writes: A keen interest has been aroused in the "Home" articles which have tors lost moneyâ€" and practically all of them do "lose money; at least none of them under the competitive sys- tem in vogue for years have received anything like what other branches of the service have received, or what their services are worth.

It was founded in 1881 by W. J. Whit- lock, later was owned by Theo. Hall, who sold to J. K. Hammond, from whom H. A. VanDusen purchased it in 1802. The Leader is a decidedly clean, neatly printed paper, and an honor to the village to which it servos. HOME By A. S. Thurston THE APOTHECARY Until his passing, probably the old- est resident of the village was the Apothecary. One adds to all the cherished memories of this man the later ones of his philosophic cheerful- ness in the sick room. It seems, on mature reflection, since hi.' sunset came, and went, as though the neriod of illness that chained him to his room had lengthened out his evening of life until the sky was shot with beautiful vestments of the evening, and slant- ing beams came up the slone to one a« he chatted from the vantage point of youth to the old man. There was a shynes of expression, and boldness oi thought, that left one feeling that the end of life was the fullest and happiest part for the soul of him, and yet, so timid is one of the sacred things that he dare not venture too ruthlessly, tear the veil aside, and see for him'self! And so we miss the best things, sometimes, because we are AFRAID. For many, many "ears the path to school has led past his store door, and the books and papers of the schooling course came fluttering out from its spicy scented shelves, whila the pen- nies tinkled into the money drawer. To the youngest children The Apo- thecary (the First Citizen's brother) ! was always a pleasant elderly person I who stared fiercely and then smiled i over his glasses so merirly that they j liked him almost as well as the sweets in his glass showcases. To the older ones he \'. 'is not always so placid, and had a habit of almost testily 'ex- pressing strong opinions on occasion. ,He had first come to Home, direct from th:! heart of English London â€" a Cockney learning how to pioneer â€" ; and thrown himself upon the tender mercies of Home at a time v.hen it was a'l roughnes on the exterior, when elections lasted a week or so and people drove for miles to register their onon vote and down whiskey in the customary manner. j Sino then time has spun out. The I Apoth , eary married, raised a family, I educated his son, and finally gave up I the store to him. Then crinpled by sicknp ;s resigned himself to a world bor(je;'.>d only by the limit i of his eyesight and the windows of his home. Fond memories Wijl ever lin^r around the quaint old apothecary's shop of many years ago, where the even then seemingly old man peered over his well-rimmed glasses and pat- ernally engaged the youngsters in a jovial bashful conversation. Oh, ho was real! With a tongue that could speak his mind to the grown-ups, and with a heart bijr enough for all the children in the community, he ministered in his way to them in a manner far above the ordinary things of drug store and school-book barter. And at Christ- mas time drew near his accumulated additional charm with wonderful pos- sibilities for Santa Claus; in fishing time bamboo rods and even silk fish lines, and sinkers, an' hooks were there; with snowfall came a crop of sleds; â€" he was a Bountiful Provider and a fulflUer of dreams. Behind his back we called him "Billie" this old man, this dignified man; this Bountiful Provider. We called him "Billie" behind his back. I went back Home one day, and so long it seemetl since last we met that I called on him. And there I found him, not testily chafing against im- prisonment as I had feare<i, but quietly accepting his lot with an abounding grace. â€" surprsinely alive to the events of every d» at Home; with his finger tips on the political situataion, and keenlv interested in the war from the standpoint of Home's contribution to it; for he had seen every one of the lads through the schoolbook and all-day sucker -otage of life Here was no chair and bed-ridden hermit. And I marvelled; and still marvel. As the hour wore on we had a wonderful trip back to the days agone when Home was a raw backwoods hamlet, when lawlessness was ram- pant In the very machinery that was created to establish law and order. He had come, a young lad, to the bush and became a deputy returning officer for the election which was then in full swing, aiwi during the days of election moved among what were strange and unnerving scenes as the bearded pioneers indulged in the in- toxication of the occasion. He recalled how neighborhood jeal- ousies sprang up fresh in the midst of the polling, and how men were kid- napped to prevent their vote from being polled; and how one side had stolen the liquor belonging to the other side, winning the day with the stolen whiskey. It was all "Greek" to the newcomer from the world's greatest centre, and was sufficient to keep him in daily ter- ror for his life until he learned that it was but that ideal of ideallists, the people of a democracy expressing their sovereign will; and soon he , learned to fit into the village life and settle down as one of Home's earliest citizens. And as he talked of these thingrs â-  there was a hint of resignation, as ' though he were prepared to follow â- again his brother, the First Citizen, j as he had followed him into the "im- known" of the new Canada, long, long ago in his youth. .... and, one day the words of the preacher were recalled, ". . . . and the doors shall be shut in the streets, i when the sound of the grrinding is low I. . . . then shall the dust return to (the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it."
