RIGID INSPECTION.
One of the greatest surprises
to the average layman who is
visiting a big automobile factory
for the first time is the amount
of care used in the construction
of cars. To the average man,
quantity and quality do not
seem to belong together. Yet
when he visits the big Detroit
plant of the Maxwell Motor Com
pany he finds one of the biggest
departments turned over entire
ly to the Chief Metallurgist and
his staff. Here every particle
of material that goes into the
makeup of the Maxwell "25' is
carefully tested out before being
approved for production pur-
poses. Special tests are provid-
ed for both the raw material and
the finished products such as
axles and springs. Finished
parts are allowed to pass only
after the most rigid inspection.
With these unsurpassed facil-
tiles it is not surprising that the
Maxwell Company has jumped
from sixteenth place in the au-
tomobile industry in 1913 to fifth
place in 1914. It is confidently
predicted by men in close touch
with industrial conditions that
the Maxwell Company will be in
second position when the 1915
campaign is under way.
It is quite generally known
that the Maxwell Company has
planned a production Of $1,000
cars for 1915. The men behind
the Maxwell production are thus
early preparing the field for next
years BUSINESS and it ranks as a
certainty that the Maxwell car
will lead the field during the
coming season.

FAVOR JOHNSON BILL
Progressive League Believes
More Comprehensive
System.

The members of the Opelou-
sas Progressive League are con-
WINGED that the johnson educa-
tional bill is for the best interest
of the state. as well as to the
taxpayers.
At a meeting of the Board Of
Directors of the Opelousas Pro-
gressive League on Tuesday
morning the following preamble
and resolution was unanimously
adopted, and signed by the
members of said board.
w hereas, representative
johnson has introduced in the
State Legislature a plan to con-
solidate and reorganize the pub
lie schools of the State and to do
away with the confusion and
waste of money resulting from
the large number of State edu-
cational and institutional boards,
each absolutely independent,
with no cooperating among
them, sometimes with opposing
views, and
Whereas, we believe that the
bill introduced by Mr.. johnson
is sound in principle, economi-
cal in theory, and practical in
operation, and the same has re-
ceived the endorsement of our
Governor and State Superinten-
dent Harris, and
Whereas. we believe it to be
to the interest of the whole peo-
pie of the State that our public
school system be modernized and
concentrated as is outlined in
said bill, and that without delay
or postpondment, therefore be it
resolved, That we hereby hearth
" endorse and approve of the
Johnson bill, and of it's imme-
diate passage by the Legislature,
and furthermore condemn as in
imical to the public educational
institutions Of our State the
action of Senator Favrot, who
proposes to postpone action on
this important measure for two
years at least.
Be it further resolved. That
copies of this resolution be for
warded to the New Orleans pa
pers, to Gov. Hall, Superinten-
Harris, and all members of
the General Assembly.

Mis- sionary Notes
BY THE SOCIETY.

Some people, who are unin-
formed, think that the mission
aries have a very easy time. I
am going to give some instances
that I hope will dispel that
thought.
Miss Mary Myers had quite an
experience some time ago on one
of her country trips. Sometimes
they go in jiurikishas, often on
horseback and oftener they go
on foot, sometimes walking for
miles. When Miss Meyers
started on one of these trips no
jiurikisha nor horse was to be
found and she had twenty-three
miles to go before she could get
to the station to take the train.
The church elder offered her his
COW; so at three thirty in the
morning she started out on her
journay perched high on top of
the pack, for you must remem-
Der that they have to carry their
bedding and other necessaries
along with them.
Miss Toland, the pr ncipal of
the Irene Toland School Matan-
zas, Cuba, has lost only three
days work during the thirty
two years she has been in the
service of the missionary inter-
ests of the church.
Who has a more enyiable rec
ord than Miss Toland?

TO DISCUSS DRAINAGE
AT CROWLEY MEETING
Representatives From South.
west Parishes Will Meet
Next Thursday.

There is never a time when
Southwest Louisiana can afford
to loaf. The crops viii soon be
laid by, hence we must have
some fruitful channel in which
to direct the energies quickened
by the life-giving summer heat.
The Drainage Conference at
Crowley on Thursday June 4th,
beginning at 10 o'clock and last
ing all day, or two days if neces-
sary. is the first big thing. Of
course, you favor drainage, and
you don't want to get soaked
again as was the case last year.
1t won't cost you anything to
attend and you'll have the chance
to see big men wrestling with a
big problem-the biggest problem
in Southwest Louisiana today.
1t is a problem that we must
solve, it requires only brains and
money to solve it-and our peo-
pie have lots of both.
When we recall that probably
ten percent of our Southwest Lou
isiana lands for a few years, will
pay the whole cost of the finest
drainage system in the United
States, it is easy to see that we
the drainage system pay
for itself and then yield us a
handsome profit every year be-
sides. Is anybody in Southwest
Louisiana going to stand for be-
kept out of participating in a
veritable snap like this?
Of course not. Then make
your banker, and your civil en-
gineer and your newspaper editor
come along with yol to the con-
ference on June 4th remember
the date.
Now, here's another subject
claiming attention. That's the
stock question. We are go
ing to change Southwest Louis
lana from a meat-buying to a
meat-selling.
We are going into the manu-
industry on an exten-
scale. We are going to take
products like corn, oats, les
oedeza, clover, potatoes, peanuts,
urnips, and so forth, and manu-

and butter and cheese; the
choicest tenderloin and porter
house cuts; the most toothsome
sausage, hams, bacon and lard
that ever went on the table OF
kings. We are going to be
manufactures.
Don't you want to be one!
Then attend the Live Stock meet
ing most convenient to you, at
which Dalaymple, Wight, Dod-
son, Staples and others will tell
you how it is done. These meet
ings will occupy the entire second
week in June, and no real farmer
or business men can afford not to
attend at least one Of them.

SAFETY FIRST"

AS a measure to prevent acct
dents and the safeguarding OF
human lives, the Maxwell Com
pany has built testing tracks on
its grounds at Dayton and De-
troit, and no car is allowed to
leave the factory precincts. This
does away with reckless driving
through the city streets and at
the same time affords an equally
severe test to the car.
Safety First" methods are
carried out to the last degree in
the factory buildings. All dan
gerous machinery is provided
with safety guards and every
precaution is taken to protect the
lives of workmen. Prevention
against fire loss is obtained by
the installation of an automatic
sprinkling system covering all
plants.
In addition to the safety de-
vices, everytcare is taken to pro-
vide healthful working conditions
for the thousands of Maxwell
workmen. At the big Detroit
plant, a finely lighted restaurant

MAXWELL CAR Big
SUCCESS OF SEASON
Maxwell Company, Detroit,
Puts Out the Worlds
Biggest Auto Adv.

urday>S eQltlon, tHe
automobile advertisement that
has ever appearedin a newspaper.
This advertisement Of the Max
well "25" $3.50 car, is known in
newspaper parlance as a double
truck" and is seldom used except
by the biggest motor car manu-
features. Some idea of the tre-
mendous cost of the Maxwell adj
vertising campaign can be gained
when it is known that z, 900 news
papers or a total of 1000 full
pages of newspaper space are be-
ing used at one time.
The success Of the Maxwell ''25
$3.50 in the past year has been
one Of the leading topics of con-
yersation in the automobile world
in the past few months. No
other motor car concern has ever
before built and shipped $4,000
cars in the first year of its exis-
tence. AS will be remembered
the present Maxwell Company
took over the assets Of the old
United States Motor Company
over a year ago. Cars were first
turned out in small quantities in
July 1913, and the production has
jumped ahead until Maxwell fac
tories are now shipping 200 cars
perday.
A TRAINED ORGANIZATION.
Probably the best reason for
the phenomenal success of the
Maxwell product beyond the
wonderful value offered in the
$3.50 car, is the organization and
factories of the concern. Five
big factories in the cities of De-
troit, Dayton and Newcastle,
form the chain Of manufac-
turing units where every part Of
the Maxwell 49, is built. The
combined floor space in all Max
we'll planes amounts to 1854, 648
square feet and the land occupied
by buildings is 24l.5 acres. The
total number of men employed
when the factories are running
full tilt Is, 900.
To appreciate the hugh scale
on which Maxwell cars are manu-
featured it is necessary to per-
sonally visit one Of the factories,
where the cars are being turned
out. Solid trainload shipments
Of motor cars-some Of them 80
and 40 freight cars in length--to
a single dealer are common sights
at the Detroit plant of the Max
well Company. To accommodate
this heavy shipping, an immense
loading platform runs the full
lengths of the factory building
and cars are shipped at all hours
of the day. One of the interest
ing features of quantity shipments
is the manner in which freight
car space is economical by the
"double-decking operations"
BY removing the wheels from the
automobiles, and building SUBJ
platforms in the cars, it is posi-
BILE to ship six automobiles in a
80 foot car and eight in a 40 foot
car.
