The Real Greatness of the Maxwell Is in Its Perfected Mechanism 0 Mechanical perfection has made the Maxwell endurance champion of the world the most economical car td run a source of complete satisfaction to 200,000 Maxwell Owners. Let's consider the Maxwell first as a piece of machine y, -for that's what a real automobile is a machine. Fancy upholstery, ename?, a highly polished instrument board vare excellent things, but (Ay don't make a great motor car. Motor-car merit depends, first, last and always, on mechan ical construction, on, the parts that are hidden from your view. The Maxwell has grace of form and line travels easily is roomy and comfortable, a norice knows that it's obvious. But, let us pick the car to pieces and see what you actually get for your money. The Sturdy, Masterful Chassis In the first place, there is one end ony one Maxwell chassis, and that chassis not an experiment, not the whim. of some designer who craves a reputation to be different or original. Nobody is permitted to tinker with that one Maxwell model, no smart ideas are allowed to swerve it from its course of development, refinement, perfection along the known, proved, time-tried principles of automobile construction. The Maxwell Engine is the Embodiment of Efficiency and Power The Maxwell engine is the concrete manifestation of effi ciency and power brought up to an almost unbelievable point of perfection. It has much of the velvety smoothness characteristic of the motors in high-priced cars, plus power, economy, reliability and simplicity. This marvelous motor is daily taking Maxwells over tens of thousands of miles of the hardest sort of going at an average cost of only $6 to $8 a mohth. One of these Maxwell, engines just like the one your Maxwell will have wentfo1r44 days and nights without stop ping, carryingaMaxwell over all kinds of roads, in all kinds of weather, at a rate of 25 miles an hour, on 22 miles per gallon of gasoline. Some Other Mechanical Factors That Make the Maxwell Great The Maxwell axles stand up lik'e the foundations of a mighty sky-scraper, they are designed, forged, heat-treated and built com plete in our own factories. The Maxwell transmission noiseless, self -lubricating, trouble-proof is the height of mechanical sanity and surety. The marvelous Maxwell clutch running in oil, simple, smooth, wear-proof has an efficiency greater than that of any other car, no matter how high-priced. Besides each part of the Maxwell chassis is made of only the finest metal that can be procured, and then only after the material has been subjected to the most rigid tests known to science. Buy the Car That Stands the Test Don't boy a car on looks, but find out just what is inside it if the vital parts of the car are mechanically right. The more you study the Maxwell the more certain you will be, as we are, that the Maxwell is the world' greatest motor ear value. Come to our sales rooms and let us prove to you that the Maxwell is mechanically right.

Wilson, age 59 years. half owner, vice-president and edi tor of The Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch, and one of the most popular and suc cessful newspaper men In the South, died suddenly Sunday at his home In Norfolk. . , A MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE." (This' story won the cold medal offered by the Gaxette Publishing Co. for best short story written in three hours by any high school pupil In Gaston county). it was one of the first warm days of spring, birds sang merrily among the fresh green leaves of the trees, mountain flowers filled the air with sweet perfume, while a little stream, glad that It was once more free from ice, bubbled and danced over rock and trash filling the air with music. On its banks flowers grew thickest and children from the valley played most. As It rippled past the doorway of a tiny log cabin, nestling sleepily among the trees half way down the blue-green mountain side, a young man dipped his handker chief into the cool water and bathed the white face of a woman,-who was perhaps forty-five years old. He bent over her tenderly and whisper ed, "They'll have me when you wake up, mother, for they most got me Just now." That was all. He kissed her ten derly and left, fleeing as swift as a hunted deer down the mountain side. The man, Charlie Minor, had been accused of murder and at the trial was convicted on circumstantial evi dence. Soon afterward, however, he had become almost insane with wor ry and sorrow for his mother, and with her had fled to this solitary hut on the mountain side. But it seemed as tho' there was no escape, for now the otneers were here after him. They had suddenly come upon them at breakfast and so terrified his mother that she had fainted. He had escaped, but realized that the home was surrounded by men who would take him back, back to that dingy old prison cell, into which no light of love ever entered. The sun sank slowly behind the western hills and suffused the whole heavens with rich gold and red. The leaves and twigs on a bush trembled slightly and a man, swift as a tiger, sprang forward and parted the bush es revealing Charles Minor. He was caught. Within the prison cell a man sat brooding over the past and future. The door opened and a little bent woman entered Just to stay ten minutes." He arose and approached Tier. The ten minutes were almost over. She raised her hands and laid them on his bowed head saying, "The Lord bless thee and keep thee my poor son, for 1 know that, you are in nocent." She was gone. That was their last meeing. The sound of a voice at the win dow aroused him from his mourning. He arose and as he approached rec ognized his old friend. Freddy Max ton. "You. there, Minor?" he asked. "Yes, Maxton, you know I'm here. What do you want?" "Just wanted to tell you that Peg' gy and I were married last night." he replied and as, he crept away ne murmured, "well I guess you're out of the way for at least thirty years." Peggy Marion, was the belle of the town and the two boys loved her but Minor was the favored one, until after the trial then she had passed him by with upturned nose and a toss of her head. She was married and he was not 'the groom. A dry hard sob made his body tremble. Strange to say Peggy Maxton and her husband left the town of their youth soon after their marriage and sought the quiet life on a mountain side where Charles Minor had fled but a few short months before. tears passed, a little town of trap pers had grown up around the little hut on the mountain side. Peggy was dead and Maxton was a drunk ard. One night in a drunxen fit ne screamed to several trappers gather ed at his but to gamble. "Yes I see you, you fool Minor. God! What? Me kill him! Yen 1 know. It's In the vase on the mantle get it quick quick I say! They got it. which proved to be a paper, on which were these words "I, Freddy Maxton. confess that I killed 'Walter Rivers to save myself and laid the blame on Charles Minor now in Jail, so that I coald marry Peggy Marion." Maxton sobered and realized liow matters stood. He tried to bribe the trappers but they together witn some officers from the valley traced him when he tried to escape and shot him down like a dog. In a prison cell a man sat holding a tiny piece of yellow paper In his hand. Tears were streaming down his worn face. The good Father in heaven had taken his mother home to rest and peace. He thought of the happy childhood days he had spent at her side. He saw himself a young man, kneeling at her Hide tell ing her of his love, his joys and sori rows, then a faint vision came before his eyes and he saw her lying white and faint at the doorway of a little log hut while he was fleeing like a hunted animal down the mountain side. He saw her as she placed her hands on his head and blessed him twenty years before. She was gone now and he would meet her some day on the banks of the River of life. In the doorway of a little mountain hut a man stood looking into tne clear cool waters of a little moun tain stream, that danced and sang in its course, but there was no music tn his heart nor song on his lips for as he glanced across the little stream he saw a newly made grave. Charlie Minor was free but he was not glad for he had lost what he thought was a true friend. He turned his face to ward the starry autumn skies and murmured, "Father forgive him for he knew not what he did." MARY HOFFMAN. DOZEN GIRLS WILLING ' TO RUN STREET CARS.
