Lester Pearson, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jack Pearson, was at work on
the new addition to the rear Of the

He was operating wire which car

Will Plant Peaches

Last week we told our readers
about a fine peach tree loaded with
ripe, juicy fruit, growing in the
yard of Even G.. Rudd on East Broad
way When the fact became known
Mr.. Rudd was beseiged by a large
number of people, many to view the
tree and others to get samples so
they could plant them and raise a
few peaches themselves. 1t is a
might just as we'll as not be filled
with peach trees. 1t has been dem
onstrated by Mr.. Rudd that they
will grow here and thrive,

MAXWELL AUTO
IS BIG SUCCESS
OF The YEAR
Enormous Output of 10000 Cars
From Five Plants

The News is printing in this issue a
two page advertisement of the Max
well "25" the beautiful $3.50 car turned
out by this company, which has prov
en- so popular and successful Some
idea of the tremendous cost of the
Maxwell advertising campaign can be
gained when it is known that 1000
newspapers or a total of 1000 fun
pages of newspaper space are being
used at one time.
The success of the Maxwell "25"
$3.50 car i'm the past year has been one
of the leading topics OF conversation
i'm the automobile world in the past
few months. No other motor car con-
Germ has ever before built and shipped
10000 cars In the first year of it's ex-
istence. AS will be remembered, the
present Maxwell company took over
the assets of the old United States
Motor company over year ago. Cars
were first turned out in small quaint
ties in July. 1913. and the production
has jumped ahead until Maxwell fac
tories are now shipping 200 cars per
day.
Probably the best reason for the
phenomenal success of the Maxwell
product beyond the wonderful value
offered in the $3.50 car, is the organi-
zation and factories OF the concern.
Five big factories i'm the cities of De-
troit, Dayton and Newcastle, form the
chain of manufacturing units where
every part of the Maxwell "25" is buiIt.
The combined floor space i'm all Max
well plants amounts to 2,6Si,64S square
feet and the land occupied by their
buildings is 241.5 acres. The total num-
Der of men employed when the fac
tories are running full tilt is $1,000.
To appreciate the huge scale on
which Maxwell cars are manufactured
IL is necessary to personally 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 i'm length-to Il
single dealer are common sights at the
Detroit plant of the Maxwell company.

To accommodate this heavy shipping,
an immense loading platform runs the
full length of the factory building and
cars are shipped at all hours of the
day one of the interesting 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 automo-
biles, and building sub-platform i'm the

mobiles in a sO-foot car and eight in q

BOLD PIRATES
OPERATE ON THE
SEAS OF CHINA
pIundsring Of Norwegian Ship Re-
calls Days of Capt. Kidd

Canton, China, May 15.-Ordinary
acts of piracy. which occur frequently
in the rivers and canals in this Sec
tion-were completely eclipsed recent
IN when the Norwegian steamship
Childar was plundered ON the high
seas
IL was bold enough to recall to the
western world the days of Captain
Kidd, 200 years ago, and it was a rare
case even for these waters.
The number of foreign warships con-
santly cruising up and down the China
coast and the fact that many of the
merchant ships carry rifles and am
muntion generally deter the Chinese
from such acts of boldness for they
are given short shrift when caught.
In the early days of the British settle
ment at Hongkong scores of pirate
iunks were captured and sunk; there
are records of forty and fifty being sent
to the bottom in a day.
The Childar was captured i'm very
simple way. About fifty pirates went
aboard the ship at Hongkong as ordi-
nary Storage or deck" passengers
bound for places up the coast. There
being altogether 200 Chinese making
the journey, no notice was taken of
them.
Suspicion Is Aroused.
They were evidently little nervous
over the enterprise, and soon reused
the suspicious of the bonafide Chinese
passengers by their restlessness and
earnest Conversations i'm little groups.
Seeing that they were being watched
they put their plans into execution
sooner, evidently, than they had in
tended, but with complete success.
About forty miles out of Hongkong
they wiped /out their revolvers and
rushed the officers. There were six
white officers, and none of them were
armed or within the reach of weapons.l
The second officer who was. on the |
bridge, tried to give the alarm to the |
others below and was promptly laid |
senseless with the butt of pistol. |
Otherwise no bodily injury was done. |
On their arms, so that they should |
know one another. the pirates wore
white bands similar to those worn by |
the Chinese revolutionists two years |
ago. There were characters on the

had been taken from the ship, the
officers, and the passengers. Even the

Give Vent to Their Anger.

The pirates We're no doubt, much
disappointed, for on two previous voy-
ages the Childar had carried abont
$4,000 worth of treasures of one sort
and another valuables that were me-
gotiable ashore without serious danger
of discovery The pirates seemed 70
be angered by their failure to make
the big haul they expected, for after
looting the ship and passengers, they
>went through the cabins and engine
rooms destroying wilfully doors, fit
tings, and furniture.
But the exploit was not without its
humorous side. An English speaking
buccanneer. for instance. sympathiz-
ing with the thirsty engineer whom he
was controlling revolver in hand. ask
ed the engineer If he would like a
whiskey and soda; and, leaving a fell
low pirate in charge of the engine
room, went to the pantry and brought
back a whiskey bottle and one of beer,
explaining that he could not find sodl-
water.
Among the pirates were some who
understood the navigation of steam
ships and others who knew how to run
the engines. one, indeed. told the en-
gineers in English that he knew more
about a marine engine that they did.
Ordered to Draw Fires.
When the ship reached Bias Bay and
the collections made by the pirates
were being put aboard the junks, the
English speaking engineer among the
robbers ordered the Norwegians -
draw the fires and remove certain ne
cessary valves. thereby making it inn
possible to restart the ship for several
hours. 1t was some hours after the
junks sailed away that the Chinese
passengers ventured upon deck and
the officers, and some hours
more before the vessel was in condi-
ton to proceed at slow speed back TO
Hongkong.
A reward was offered for Information
leading to arrests, but IL seems, unlike

,The KYLE was charged by the gov

from DIR. Grenfell and others OF the
serious conditions prevailing In Labra-

with ice as late as August l, with
resultant low temperatures on land,
the cod and other large fish were too
torpid to mesh in the nets or take

notato plants did not appear above

practically a failure. The people hau

State Department
Hears Officially.
Turks Holy War
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Omcial advicos
OF the proclamation by Turkey Of
holy war against Servia and her allies
were received at the state department
today from Minister Vopicka at Bu-
charest, Roumania, who received Ais
information from the Servlan minister
in the Roumanian capital. The Ser
Wan government has announced that
all treaties between Turkey and Ser
via are imperative.
Ambassador Morgonthau at COnstau-
tinople reported unrest among foreign
ers in Turkey and the expulsion OF
about 100 French nationals from tho
interior country. The refugees now
are assembled at Beirut, Trebizon and
Smyrna without means; but they will
be aided by the American diplomatic
and consular officers. Mr.. Norgen
thau added that other French refugees
were arriving at those three cities
daily and from that state department
officials infer that a general expulsion
of the French has been undertaken.
Mr.. Morgenthau's dispatch did not
mention like action against nations or
other belligerents nor say what meas
ures would be adopted to get the
French out Of the Ottoman empire.
Mr.. Morgenthau also reported tho
arrest at Constantinople OF an Eng
lishmau supposed to be Sir Edwin
Pears, for whose release he has made
representations 10 the porte. Dr. Louis
AIizzi, a lawyer from Malta and Col.
Churchill, whose nationality was not
stated, but who is a former police
officer, have been arrested in COnstan-
tinopIe and taken to Cesarea.
The reasons given for the protest
are that the law is in direct viola
ton OF the provisions in the treaty be-
tween the United States, Great Britain
and Italy guaranteeing their citizens
the same rights as are enjoyed By
American citizens in the states in the
matter OF employment and travel. The
Italian case is said TO be stronger than
the British because the italian treaty
provisions is more specific in it's recog-
milton Of Italian rights.
The protests have been referred 10
| the solicitor OF the state department
There is in some respects a resem-
blance between the Arizona law and
the California anu-alien legislation
| which brought a protest from Japan
which remains unsettled.
