Our Fastest Selling Car

Tests of this sort have made the
Chalmers Light SIX the fastest selling
car we ever built.
That is why we urge you to apply
emergency teSts-because we are con-
fdent If you make this car show you its
quality under unusual conditions Of serv-
ice-it will be your choice.
And because we build the Chalmers
Light Six" to cope with any and every
emergency Of the road, because we insist
that every part in this 1915 Chalmers
Light Six" be of the highest quality,
we can truthfnlly say that at $3.50 this
car Is a far greater UGIue than any
other car in its price class.

millions OF Americans viii pray for world peace
tomorrow. To what extent their prayers will avail
in the matter of bringing the warning European and

AS the situation exists now t is scarcely likely that
the heartfelt prayers great neutral nation will
have any immediate and appreciabe effect upon the
belligrans. Their blood IS at fever neat They are
filed with the lust for laughter Primal instincts
dominate their thoughts and actions Only by great
and deplorable national bood-letting will that lust
be satisfied and those instincts made subordinate to
those OF higher and nobler quality
With respect to the American prayers that will as
cend to heaven tomorrow 1T may be said however.
that quite from the question of their immediate
efficacy, they will constitute a solemn and striking
demonstration of the goodwill and sympathy Of our
people for all those peoples whose blood is being
spilled with unprecedented prodigaty and whose lands
being rayaged by the greatest war that has con-
vulsed our world since its creation.

valued az S45OOOO It already has purchased outright
bales values at S325OOO Official announcement also
made that It also will accept from its trade in the
South warehouse certificates amount of $l25O0O
for cotton ten cents a pound, thus making up the
handsome total of S45O00O.
AS two-thirds of the cotton grown in America is
exported when conditions normal and as the
European paralyzed the movement Of the crop

through the United States much to the relief Of the
Southern cotton growers. Inspired by patriotic de-

OF the DUPONT Company decided to buy not bale,
but 1000 bales
This is a corporation that for years has been abused
by muck-rakers sordid and selfish and that never
has failed to make magnificent display Of practical
patriotism in time of national emergency In fact it is
corporation that, I'm patriotic and a charitable
