about a month ago exhibited at the
great international cattle show at
Chicago, and IN that great COMPETE

great show Of blooded cattle Of all
the Hereford kind and breed as the
champion bull Of the United States

for Mr.. Davis but it was still a
greater victory for Mississippi. Be
cause that Mr.. Davis had demon
strated what could be done in Kinds
county, Mississippi. Mr.. Davis has
done it. He has demonstrated that
Mississippi can become and will be-
come a great cattle raising State.
What has been done in Kinds county
can be done in Jackson county.
For Point Comfort XIV Nj. DaVrs

his services were wanted in Missis-

not for sale. But M. Davis did
sell three calves Of the champion,
one at Kansas City at S1975. OF
this calf Mr.. Davis says, Il sold
him for s1975, but II my farm had

the farm was free from ticks. Il

it was never so good as now. The

entertainments every night since
opening their doors, and the result
has been that they have been show.

The pictures shown are net only of
the very latest and best, but the or

price of admission, and the popular
prices Of five aud ten cents, no mat.

proving a great drawing card. The
Show of Wednesday evening of this

MRS. cRoTINeER DEAD.

The entire community was shock
Cd and grieTed on Wednesday TO
bear Of the death Of Mrs. James Crot-
niger, one Of the best known and
most highly esteemed young women
0 this city, which occurred at the
home Of her mother, Mrs. E. A. Ham
mond, that morning at II O'Clock,
shortly after giving birth to a baby
boy, whose death also occurred a
few hours later.
The death Of this estimable young
woman is one Of the most pathetic
which has occurred in this community
n many a day, for she was a woman
Who was not only highly respected
but sincerely loved by all who knew
her. The family is one in which the
nome ties seem to bind with greater
love and affection than ordinarily,
and it has been a cause of sorrow IN
the family that the daughter and sis
tr has, since her marriage, been maxi
ing her home elsewhere than in this
city where all Of the other members
were located, and it has been a cause
q much rejoicing In the family the
past few weeks in that they were
again to be united, Mr.. Crotinger
having severed his business connec-
do0s at Syracuse and having accept
ed position in this city, Mrs. Crot-
niger having arrived here a few days
before Christmas while her husband
remained for few days to pack and
0ettle up his business affairs, aruiv-
ing here Saturday evening, the house
hold goods arriving here the day of
Mrs. Crotinger'S death, the house for
their future home having already been
secured and the family expected to
be comfortably settled In a very shor,
time.
But the rejoicing of the family over
agatn being united was doomed to be
but Of short duration, for shortly af'
ter her arrival here Mrs. Crotinger
was taken id and after a brave and
noble fight for life and but about an
hour after giving birth to her child,
the Heavenly Father i'm His infinite
wisdom saw fit to remove the soul
from the pain-racked body to the
eternal home of happiness with the
heavenly angels, and with the soul
Of the mother that of the babe whom
she had gladly given her life that it
might live, there to unite the mother
and child that together they may
live forever and through all eternity
they may enjoy that greater love Of
the Christ Child, the Babe of Beth
Sehem, who said, Suffer the little
children to come unto me- and who
had also gladly laid down His life that
Through His death the souls of the
faithful should enjoy life eternal in
the heavenly home.
1t is sad, indeed, that those whom
we most love and cherish should be
thus taken from among us. Heavy
indeed is the load of sorrow of the
young husband and the grief stricken
mother and sisters and brothers, and
the innumerable friends who were
united in a common bond by their
love for the departed for her many
admirable qualities of true womanhood

and her inspiring and noble life and
character. But the ways Of Him who
doeth al things for the best are not
for mere mortals to understand OF
question, and We must meekly bow in
submission to the will of the wise
and just judge, and secure surcease Of
sorrow in the happiness of the pro.
mise that for those who have walked
In the paths Of Righteousness there
shall be Life and Joy everlasting In
the heavenly portals where pain and
sorrow are unknown, and where the
mother, with the little babe in her
arms will watch over and pray fol-
the loved ones left behind that in
time the entire family will again be
united in that peaceful home, never
again to feel the pangs Of sorrow OF
separation.
Della Hammond was born in Bloom.
ingVille, Hockius county, Ohio, June
Is, 1884. being 20 years, 6 months,
and 10 days of age at the time of her
death. With her mother and sisters
and brothers, she came to this coun.
ty about thirteen years ago. On Sep.
tember 20, 1911, she was united in
marriage to James Crotinger, and
with her husband removed to Syrs.
cuse, Kansas, where they have since
made their home, until about two
weeks ago, when they made arrange
ments to move to this city. For sew
eral years Della was one of the mcst
popular and progressive school teach
ers of the county, and later engaged
In clerking in one of the stores Of
the city. She had for years been one
Of the most active and energetic
workers in the Methodist Sunday
School and church, and by her own
beautiful life and example she had
been the means of bringing many to
lead that better and happier life. She
was woman untiring in her efforts
for the successful comp.eticn of amy
mission she undertook, and one who
closely endeared herself to al with
whom she became acquainted, and in
her death there is a sadness, not only
among the relatives, but among the
many friends as well, that only time
will alleviate, and which wiz never
entirely be erased.
She leaves to mourn her loss her
husband, her mother, three sister,
Mrs. Claude Barricklow and Sara and
Grace Hammond, and three brothers,
Frank, Will and Charles, besides a
number of other relatives and a num-
Der of sincere friends who were lim-
tied only by her acquaintance.
Funeral services will be held at the
M. E. church this afternoon at 2
O'Clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev
Cockerill, and interment made in the
Great Bend cemetery.

AMERICAN AUTO MAKERS
 STUDY s-cYLINDER CARS
crease Since Announcement of New Cadillac.

That American manufacturers of motor cars have been paying close at- tention to the performance of eight cylinder cars in Europe, and that this interest has been intensified since the announcement of the eight-cylinder, Cadillac, is stated in a recent issue of one of the leading automobile publi- cations.
 This periodical says that during the last six months the demand from De- troit motor car makers for European experimental high efficiency cars has indicated that considerable study is be- ing applied to this important subject, while orders from the same place since the new Cadillac has been revealed threaten to deplete the available stock of eight-cylinder cars, which had al ready been decreased by the European war.
 This statement occurs in the course of long article by a prombinent en- gineer on the advantage of the eight cylinder motor for automobiles. The author states that, excepting the small four cylinder engine for low-powered cars, the eight will be the ultimate type of automobile motor. He bases this belief on the superior fexibility thetma1 efficiency, power per pound of motor weight. and durability of the eight. He cites, as proof that this type, is most durable, the fact that after 32,000 miles of service. an eight cylin-
 der motor showed all wearing sur faces in good condition, with but slight wear on the cam and valve mechanism.
 It is asserted that the action of this engine and it's condition after hard use are good arguments for the adoption of ! the eight-cylinder design. It had seen | three years of service, and the author,
 who is an engineer, and who inspected l the torn-dow motor carefully, says its condition was as good as that of a 1 standard American four-cylinder after 1 only one season of similar service. 1 This engineer sums up the advant-
 ages of the eight-cylinder V type en-
 zine by pointing out that it permits l equal angular distribution of power l impulses; it's superior turning moment
 and more capitalized torque permit a | smaller engine to be used for the same work; it has a short, rigid, self -coun- | terbalanced crank-shaft and light re- ciprocating parts; it has immunity i from critical or vibrating speeds, and it does not take more space or in crease the weight or wheelbase of any car over a four cylinder engine of the same capacity.
