A number of important matters af-
fecting the newspaper publishers and
the reading public We're considered
during the convention. One of the
more important was the passing Of an
accredited list OF advertising agen-

in the future.
1t is hoped that the adoption of this
list will aid in wedding out the wild

IT is predicted by shrewd judges that
1 the Maxwell "25" $3.50 Car made by
the Maxwell Motor Company, Detroit,
Mich, will within year be the fastest
selling automobile in the world
And this isn't such an extraordinary prediction
when you consider the many very remarkably good
points of the Maxwell "25," and the present
phenomenal demand.
A prominent writer who has inteligenty studied
the subject said recently that the time is coming
when most families in the United States will own
an automobile.
In many places Maxwell "25s" are used not
only for pleasure purposes but for business reasons
as well, thus rendering highly efficient double
service

pounds the quickest, and paid the big

One thing which this experiment in

Both the man and the wife of a
Polish family in Mern like to read
Danish newspapers. They do this in a
way of their own. The man can speak
Danish but cannot read 1t, because
he has learned only Russian charac-
tiers. His wife does not understand
Danish. but knows the Danish charac-
tiers. Now the wife reads without un.
derstanding anything, but the man un.
derstands her reading, and he trans
lates 1t to her, SO that both of them
get the benefit Of the reading in a
somewhat laborious and roundabout
way.
