Take speed and endurance, for example
when you buy a Maxwell you buy a car made
by the same designers the same chief engi-

Reversible Steering Gear
The greatest margin Of safety has been pro-
yided In the steering gear of the 1915 Maxwell.
The Maxwell irreversble steering mechanism is

periority over every other type lies in its many
adjustments. At no time is more than fourth OF

London. Dec. 29.-While there has
been considerable renewal OF activity
at several points on both the eastern
and western fronts in the last twen-
ty-four hours, the situation in the Bal
kans has the most peaceful appearance
in weeks. Dispatches from both Ger
manic and entente sources agree that

force at Saloniki as safely cooped up,
useless and expensive and that, there
fore, it would be an advantage to the
central powers to let it remain there.

Thursday night the members of the
Dornick Hills Country Club will give
a dance to their friends at the club

wish to announce that the dance will

club members and their friends only.
A mask dance is planned for some
time in the near future.

on this occasion and will have an op
portunity of welcoming many citizens
of the city who have never been the

GOOD THINGS
ARE IN STORE
FOR ARDM0RE
CLOSE OF OLD YEAR SEES ARD.
MORE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE
FINANCIALLY, WITH PROS.
PEcTs FOR GREATER ACTIVITY.

Now that the holiday ruch Is over
things are exceedingly quiet in ran
road circles. The line operating into
this city have handled approximately
25,0Qo bales of cotton TO the con-
press, according to figures from the
local agents, but most of the crop is
all in and very few more bales will
be handled this season.
The Ringing road has handled
nearly all the crop from the western
part of the county and Jefferson and
stephens counties, which reduced the
wagon receipts here materially. 1t
has been estimated that the total
wagon receipts for the season would
not exceed twelve thousand bales,
at the most, and it begins to look as
if the total would fall far short of
that estimate as but little over nine
thousand bales have been marketed
here to date.
With the beginning of the new year,
citizens of the city are hoping to see
many improvements in buildings. A
new hotel is practically a certainty.
and the Santa Fe will erect modern
union depot within the next few
months. It has been reported that
the plans for the depot have been
prepared but the officials have not
made them public.
"Ardmore is to be congratulated
on being in such shape financially"
said business man of the city this
morning, and, commenting further,
this same business man gave all the
credit for the present condition to
the Santa Fe Railroad company for
the manner in which it made set
tlement for property damage sus-
tanned by the great disaster of Sep
tember last
The secretary of the Chamber Of
Commerce states that he can see bet
ter things in advance for the city dur
ing the coming year, and a greater
effort than ever will be made to make
Ardmore city second to none in the
state.

Bessarabia. The Austrian communica-
tion speaks of huge Russian losses.
A dispatch from a German source
says:
"a terrible battle has been going on
since Friday in Bessarabia."
The German campaign in the Near
East and beyond, according to today's
kilograms, is to be pushed with the ut
most vigor and energy. Field Marshal
Mackensen is reported to be the
header selected for the new theater
of operations and the invasion of
Egypt is said to be his immediate OBJ
iect. Numbers of trains are reported
conveying ammunitions and guns to
Constantinople and other preparations
are being pushed on big scale.
From many isolated fronts come re-
ports of preparations for spring cam
paigns, either in the form of a change
in the location of large bodies of troops
or in the building of fortifcations.
Along the Dvinsk and Bug lines the
Germans are said to be constructing
colossal Notifications equipped with
heavy artillery and with machine guns
and automatic rifles supplied in un-
limited quantity.
The Bulgarians are reported to be
busy entrenching their armies well
back of the Grecian frontier, while
equipment continues to arrive for the
French and British at Saloniki, which
in the report of General Castelnau is
considered by its defenders impregna-
BILE.
A change is also noted in the Tur-
kish dispositions at the Dardanelles
where the defenders of Gallipoli are
| in possession of heavier siege guns
which have been better served since
the Austro-Germans opened the road
to Constantinople.
1t is understood that the British
authorities are making every possible
preparation adequately to defend the
Suez Canal and their Egyptian posi-
tion.

PRESENT CONFUSION AS TO THE
STREET NUMBERS RESULT OF
ERRORS MADE WHEN HOUSES
WERE FIRST NUMBERED.

~ the regular meeting of the city
commissioners last night, a committee
consisting of City Attorney Russell
Brown, City Engineer Carlock, and
Chief Reeder of the fire department,
was appointed to make arrangements
for remembering the houses and blocks
of the city.
The city officials have had this mat
ter under advisement for some time
and have decided to do the work at
once.
The present numbering of houses
and city blocks is faulty and confus'
ing. The city officials are determined
to remedy it as soon as the committee
can formulate a feasible plan for doing
the work. and they were instructed
last night to expedite matters as rap
'dly as possible.
