New Maxwell Models
 Are in Great Demand

The widely published announcement that the price of the Maxwell, 1915 new model touring car, had been reduced to $685. and the town car of $500, and that r vital improvements had been made on the car has aroused extraordinary interest in every state in the union
 This was further intensified by the added news that for $55 more the Maxwell would be furnished with an electric self starter and electric lights.
 The Detroit headquarters reports that applications for dealer representation have been pouring in in the form of a steady deluge. Thousands are clamoring for dealer representation.
 The situation in automobile circles is unprecedented, and it foreshadows the popularity and prominence that the new Maxwell is destined to attain
 The tenor of each request for dealer representation indicates utmost enthusi. asm.
 Your car possesses wonderful merit and at it's new price s695, it will be world beater. We want the agency" long distances dealer.
 There was never anything like 1t any. yhere,' said Assistant General Sales Manager Stebbins. That new model of ours is a whirlwind success It's going to put good many new spots on the automobile map of this country''

Detroit the Hub of the
 Automobile Industry

While every owner of an automobile speaks familiarly of Detroit as the auto center" probably very few actually real ize what the city means to the motor car industry.
 Of the 3S5,000 motor cars made in the United States last year, 261 800 or 6S per cent were built in Detroit For 1914, one factory alone, the Ford, will turn out 250o00 cars, and the other Detroit fac tories will make 50,000 more.
 These figures of gross production, how ever, are not as likely to impress the motorists as will consideration of the cars with which he is familiar that are made in Detroit This list includes the Abbott, Cadillac. Chalmers, Detroiters Ford, Hudson, Eupp, Neetcn, Krit, Lozier, Maxwell, Packard Paige, Regal. Saxon, Stakeholder and D others
 The best engineering brains the auto- mobile industry has produced, are repre- sented in these cars. Each car stands for the best in one or more points. The men who conceived and developed them are acknowledged authorities in the in- dustry, it is of interest then, when these engineers agree that the trend of 1914 gasoline cars which they are producing Will make a stronger appeal for wom- an S favor than in any season of the past These men who know their industry, pre- dict practically to a man, that the gas car. with it's new features for easy driv- ing, is the coming womans car-and they admit that the determination to make the gas car the favcr'te over electric, is the most important influence in the new de- signs that will go from the Detroit fac tories this fall.

military governor of Paris had been told or the incident, and from windows in houses round the hotel discreet field glasses were watching the unobtrusive lit- tie turret.

 And since then the manager has not been seen by anyone. Only from every side you hear the same story A court martial sitting in one of the big bar rack forts round Paris. and the next day firing squad in the moat, and facing it. the hotel manager, a convicted spy

J. s. NAVY GETS PAIR
 OF PUZZLING TWINS

Close inspection of government Rert;I- Ion records will be the only way I1ncle Sam will have of distinguishing two Den yer lads who applied at the local navy recruiting station this morning for en- trance into service on the battleships-- Wilbert Harry Brandt and Willard Har- old Brandt both IS years old, of 2ea7 Champa street. says a Denver special to the New York World.
 The young men are twins--the quintes- sense of the term. They were born May 19, 1S96 at Cleveland, O. They measure five feet eight inches high, weigh 15o pounds, have dark brown hair have the same grayish colored eyes, have a fair complexion, have the same contour Of features and they even have the same initials, to say nothing of first names that might easily be confused
 But above all we have the same de- sire to serve our country" they said at the recruiting station today.
 It is only through close examination of their finger prints, used in the Der tillon system, the final court of appeals in Identification, that they can be told apart
 The finger prints are measured by a micrometer, a delicate instrument ad- 1 iusted to thousandth of an inch. But | in the case of the Brandt twins nearly every finger measures the same. The only detected difference Hes in flaw in the left index finger of Wilbert's hand A scar on that finger marks the impress. 1 Of course, if their commanding officer should chance to be in a hurry for one of them he could rush up to Willard open his mouth and examine his teeth for this afternoon he is having four oi them. filled with gold. according to tn,

 Tt was with great difficulty that our agent obtained accommodations on the boat which took him to England. Just as he was going to take his automobile, which he had used less than week. aboard the boat, it was seized by the French military authorities, who com mandered the car for their own use. Many other American tourists suffered the same loss. There are practically no motor cars operated by private individuals in Europe today.''

corn, for the closer you stir the soil
to the grain with your harrow tooth
the quicker 1t will come up. Every
farmer knows that many times when
they have thought they were going to
fail to get stand and would plant
over, in running the planter in re-
planting they would tear up the grains
that were not rotten from the first
planting and as soon as these dor.
mant grains got little warm air they
would terminate and come right up,
and many times you have been
troubled with a double stand Of corn.
when IL the ground had not been
stirred there would not one grain in
twenty have come up. Hence the
necessity of the harrow good and deep
on corn that was planted before the
rains. Let us hope that when spring
does open II will stay open and we
will make one of the easiest and best
crops we have ever made. and let's
be sure to plant corn until we get a
stand. A. w. BUCHANAN,

FARMERS URGED TO PLANT CORN
Brazos County Farm Demonstrated
Gives Views on Present Situation.

This is the 23d of March. The
writer has been familiar with farm
conditions in Brazos County for many
years, and he is sure that he never
saw as little prospect for stand of
corn on the above date as there is
, today. He has just returned from a
trip throughout the north end ofsthe
county, and has made as close inspec-
/ ton and investigation as he was ca
pable of doing, and II is his opinion
that 80 per cent OF the corn that was
planted before the last two heavy
rains will have to be replanted. He
saw many farmers already replanting,
, and with another rain and freeze on
the Goth and still cold today makes
the last planting extremely doubtful
OF course, these conditions are grave
and to say the least OF it the situa-
ton is gloomy. And to make il worse,
some of the farmers are already say
ing If they fail TO get stands this
planting they expect to plant their
corn lands to cotton. which would be
a great calamity, because we cannot
afford not to plant corn, for there is
nothing that is needed in our county
quite so much as supply OF corn.
II the writer had advice to offer along
these lines he would say, plant corn
if it takes till the middle of April to
get a stand. The probabilities are
that il will not make so much as the
earlier planting, but it is possible for
it to make a good crop. Last year the
corn crop was cut short by a drouth
that started in May and lasted from
the 22d day of May until the 27th
day OF June, when we had a fine rain.
He is persuaded that If we had had
April corn it would have made a rea-
sonable crop by virtue OF the June
rain. OF course. by experience We
{ have learned that in a majority Of
/ cases the early corn is the best, but
we scarcely ever mature a corn cron
in this section without damage by
drouth, and the weather that does the
damage comes nine times in ten dur
ing the first two weeks in June and
We in a majority of cases have rain
some time the latter part OF June or
early days OF July. so We are liable
to make a good crop Of corn with late
planting He does hope our farmers
will keep planting corn till they get
good stands and give it rapid cult
walton, and he doesn't think many Of
them will be disappointed in the yield
We all know that late corn crop is
the easiest crop made in the world
if the season does come TO suit. He
would urge every farmer il he expects
to get a stand of corn from the plant
ing before the rains to harrow the
ground good and deep. You need not
be afraid of injuring the sproutet

The dust on Main street today was
as bad as it ever was in previous
years, Notwithstanding the fact the
street has just been paved. The Eagle
thought one of the objects OF paving
was TO get rid of the dust nuisance,
and if this much desired object is not
to be accomplished, 1t will be a sore
disappointment, especially to the
Main street merchants. The Eagle
believes the coat of screenings should
be carefully removed, leaving the bare
paving. With this done the street
could be easily kept sprinkled, and but
little water would be required COM
pared to former years.

In the reapeal of the Panama Canal
tolls, President Wilson has the hardest
fight on his hands he has yet encount'
cred. The opposition has been stirred
up by the same influence that engi'
neered the plank into the Baltimore
platform, and engineered the measure
through Congress-the great Ameri-
can shipping interests. This free tolls
for American coastwise vessels is the
loophole through which they expected
to sail the seas without cost or price.
Here's hoping that in his fight the
President may be armed with the
sword OF the Lord and Gideon.

A COMPARISON.

There is a paper at Riesel called the
Rustler. Its editor is reader, thinker
and observer. He was born in Saxony,
and he noticed the other day that the
kingdom OF Saxony contained 5,7S7
square miles and has a population of
4,202,216. This reminded him that the
State of Texas has IAN area of PCS, $50
square miles, and were the population
as dense as II is in SaXony, this State
would be the home of 192.995, 467 peo-
pie; and McLennan County, with an
area of 1850 square miles, would have
a population of 7S4 Another
thing We wish to call to your atten.

more than ten towns, each less than
half as large as Waco, and each one
Of these towns has more cotton mills
than the entire State of Texas can
brag of. So, You see, Texas is still
far behind" The Saxon editor of the
Rustler told the truth. Texas pro.
duces more than third Of the cotton

DR.. WEST AT FIRST
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Preached Splendid Sermon Sunday tc
Members Of Former Congregation.

The pastor and congregation Of the
First Presbyterian Church had the
pleasure Of listening to a sermon on
Sunday morning by DR., J. d. West of
Newton Miss, former pastor of the
church, and beloved by every citizen
of Bryan who knew him during the
long period OF his ministry here.
A large congregation was present
and heard a most impressive sermon
on the text, q am the resurrection
and the life" The preacher empha-
sized the truth that Christ is not only
the hope of TIE believers resurrection,
but the power of his life, and that be-
lief in Him and fellowship with Him
are the means of the highest and hest
development of life, and that life that
enjoys such fellowship and is so de-
veloped is an nending life. For such
a man death is but a transition; it
has not overcome him, cannot over
come him; he still lives on in spite
Of death, amid new surroundings and
in the enjoyment OF a larger and
fuller life.
DR. and Mrs. West are for the week
the guests Of Mai. and Mrs. McInnis.
They remain for the dedication serv.
ices Of the Presbyterian Church,
which are to be held on next Sunday,
and Dr. West will preach the dedica-
tion sermon. The pastors and congre-
cations of all the churches are invited
to be present at these exercises.
