BondhOlders Renew Claims

Kansas City, NO., April 1O.-The
tale Of an Ozark county's struggle to
escape payment for the intersections
Of its pioneers, had an echo in peti-
tons filed in the office Of the United
States District Clerk today.
On promise of promoters that they
would give the county a railroad, St.
Clair County gave the promoters a
bond issue forty years ago. The
promoters sold the bonds to innocent
purchasers. st. Clair County never
got the railroad. St. Clair County,
too, has never reimbursed the bond
buyers. To do SO now, with accum-
ulated interest, would be equivalent
to handing over the county.
The bond buyers sued and were
given judgments, which have never
been paid. Ifa judgment is not re-
newed before ten years expire, it is
outIawed. So every ninth year, for
thirty years. holders OF the bonds
have sought renewals Of judgment
from the Federal Court.
Petitions were filed in the name Of
william J.. Douglas; claiming N66,-

Mrs. Sallie B. Craig Smith, wifi
sIof W. R. Smith, departed this life a

Il She was born near Mount Sterling

lat the age of one year, she with hel
parents, (William and Susan j. Craig
moved to McDonouqh County, Ill
After remaining at this place fol
Iabout two and one half years the,
moved to Bates County, Missouri,
where the deceased grew to woman

| In 1895 they moved near Tulsa,
Okla, where they resided until about
Hour years ago when they moved to
Montana, locating in the Big Horn
VALLEY, nine miles north Of Hardin.
A year prior to her death she was
compelled to undergo an operation
for cancer and gradually grew worse
until the Death Angel called her to
the great beyond. Seven weeks pre-
|ceding her death she was taken seri-
ously ill and all of the relatives were
summoned to the bedside. She was
a patient sufferer and bore her pain
without murmur or complaint. just
as the clock was striking out the hour
closing her 22nd wedding anniversary
she passed over into the unknown and
unseen. She was ever an affectionate
mother and daughter, a kind sister
and devoted and loving wife. There
is vacancy in the home, in the COM
munity in which she lived that can
ne er be filled. In her associations
she was always the same, always dis
playing kind and lovable nature.

OUTLINES ITS POLICY
Must Maintain Quality to Save by
Increased Production
of Cars.
PUTS MORE VALUE In AUTO

There is no mystery about merchan-
dizing a manufactured article or in de-
termining its price," said Harry NJ. Jew
Company, in a recent conversation. The
same general rules govern the manu-
facturer as we'll as another, and each
organization has the same opportunities
in matters that effect price and quality.
One man can buy raw material no cheaper
than another. barring huctuation due to
varying quantities; one mans money Is
as good as another's. Policy alone can
cause a difference in quality and price
between two similar articles belonging
TO the same class or grade.
'One manufacturer who is in the shirt
business has been merchandising gar
ment that represents a well-known brand.
He may elect to cut down the price Of
that brand and he does so by scaling
down here and there in the quality OF
the goods, the workmanship. the refine
ments of his product or what not. The
shirt will look just exactly the same when
it reaches the consumer and it will bear
the same label
But the buyer pays slightly less for
this well-known shirt. Is the difference
in price going into the consumers pocket?
Not at all. The shirt is not worth as
much money as before. The buyer pays
exactly for what he gets. The manu-
facturer may be prompted to do this in
order to increase his sales. Or he may
elect to scale down on the quality to put
the money in his pocket in the way Of
added profits. He is indifferent to keep
ing up the shirt to the highest quality
possible for a standard price. He is out
for volume Of sales and increased profits.
'On the other hand his competitor In
the same class of goods may follow q
second policy. His object is to scale
down operating expenses and overhead,
but never to shave on the quality of his
raw material or his workmanship. His
idea is to maintain price and to put into
his product every degree of quality and
every penny of value his standard price
will permit, compatible with a reason
able profit.
These general principles and the two
manufacturing policies described apply
with particular force to the automobile
business. One man can't buy standard
lied parts such as well-known starters,
for example, any cheaper than another.
To clip the price of his car must mean
to shave of here and there on the quality,
to sacrifice some little refinement that
will not be noticed. Understanding these
principles thoroughly we adopted the sec
ond Of these manufacturing policies when
we organized the present Paige Com
pany Above all we maintain our quality
endeavoring to put every dollar OF value
we possibly can into the car. When we
economic on overhead or when we are
able to save by increased production we
put still more value into the car. That
has been and will continue to be our
policy in manufacturing the Paige cars.

FORD TOURING CAR ON
A 5,3OO-MILE JOURNEY
R. W. Gray. Wife. and Two Children
Started from Ell Centro,
Cal, to Detroit.

Detroit Mich. Aug. IA Ford touring
car. dust-covered and with motor hum
ming sturdily, recently drew up to the
big administration building at Detroit.
Bright pennants. inscribed with the
names of cities visited en- route, gave
= holiday dress to the machine, and
marked the itinerary of long journey
each one a service chervon.
The car contained r. W. Gray, his wife
and two children, of El Centre. Cal. De-
troit was the halfway point in a round
trip of $500 miles. Eighteen days was the
actual running time for the first half Of
the journey.
The only difficulty which we had en-
route" said Mr.. Gray. was in being
hauled across rivers where bridges had
been washed away. We were obliged to
view, Tex, on account of the rain. At
South Canadian, Okla, where bridge
had disappeared, we loaded the car on a
wagon and had it hauled across the river
by four mules. Near Brawley, Cal, is
the big sand stretch known as the Nam
moth Wash. This is a bad spot for auto
mobiles and most cars require assistance
TO get through-in fact, one individual
makes a business and an excellent reve-
nue. hauling cars across this stretch.
This helping hand" followed US with
profrers OF aid, and premonitions OF dis
aster. but the little Ford pulled through
without a halt"
The party carried a complete camp
ing outfit and at the close Of each days
run the tent was unstripped from its car
rying place at the back Of the car, the
stove unslung from the running board,
and the meal was soon cooking merrily.
Good camping places were numerous. and
but very few nights were spent under
the cover of a conventional roof.
The party did not attempt to break
any records, and all expressed themselves
as delighted with the trip, and are look
ing forward with much pleasure at the
return journey.
The car has been run about Is, 900 miles

JEFFERY FOUR MOTOR
"MADE GOOD" In TEST

The wave Of excitement and enthusi.
asm for the new type Of light motor that
swept over the country after the Indian
apolis races, is being augmented by &C.
tual facts form daily reports. The per.
formance of the French cars at the
Decoration Day Classic was a revelation
every one of the four leaders beins
equipped with these high-power, high
efficiency motors. As a consequence.
public attention, as well as trade interest
has been centered on this new idea, and
practical evidence is being eagerly
sought.
A recent report sent out by the Thomas
B. Jeffrey Company offers the convinc-
ing evidence Of the snap, power and fex-
ibility Of the light motor 1t is now
generally admitted that Jeffery is the
pioneer Of this idea in America, the
Jeffery Four which was introduced last
fall having been equipped with a motor
Of the now famed European type.
The report referred to covers the test
recently conducted with a Jeffery Six
at Pontiac. Ill.
A stop watch was used and held in the
hands OF Judge W. c. Graves, with in
structions to snap the watch the instant
the car started to move and to stop
when it reached a speed of thirty-five
miles per hour. The judge announced
the elapsed time as eleven seconds nat.
He was also shown speed ranging from
three to ffty-five miles per hour on di-
rect drive.
In the recently conducted endurance
run from Chicago to Peoria, a distance
Of $50 miles, A. NJ Robbins, president Of
the Centaur Motor Company, Of Chicago.
driving a Jeffrey Six as a pilot car
used ten gallons of gasoline and one
quart of lubricating oil, thus averaging
sixteen miles to a gallon of gasoline.
These are unquestionable facts, and
they make interesting reading for au-
tomobile buyers who will have to con-
slider the motor question carefully during
the coming season.
