Strong Endorsement of
Hon. Claude NJ. Erwin

Claude NJ. Erwin, our former
prosecuting attorney was in at
tendance at this term of circuit
court, and from the way the
people met and greeted him, it
looked like every man in Stone
county was his close PERSONALS
we'll as political friend, and
glad to have him back with us
again.
Mr.. Erwin deserves just such
treatment from a constituency
that appreciates careful, capa-
BILE and honest service. No man
who has ever held that office
gave more universal satisfac-
ton.
He is a fine illustration of the
success of one who takes the
position that a public office is
public trust and that a public
servant should serve the people
by performing the duties of an
office according to law.
Mr.. Erwin is a close student,
a fine trial lawyer, and a good
judge of the law. He is more
than even that. He is fair, hon
est, conscientious and a sober
gentleman, and one of the best
fitted and qualified men forthe
office of Circuit Judge from ev-
cry view point that has offered
for that important office for
year.
The last Grand Jury he wait
ed on as prosecuting attorney,
incorporated in their final re-
port and same was made a part
of the records of Stone county,
a fine Endorsement of his Official
conduct, which was as follows ::
Eve desire to thank the court
and court officials for the cour-
tesies shown us while deliberat-
ing and especially, do we wish
to tender to Claude NJ. Erwin,
our efficient prosecuting attor-
ney, our thanks for the eourte-
Gus and able manner in which
he rendered us service, and as
part of the people of Stone
county, we sincerely desire to
commend him and extend to
him our Endorsement and high
est appreciation at this, the
close of his administration in
Stone county, for the honest,
fearless and capable manner
IN which he has ever enforced
the law throughout his entire
career as prosecuting attorney
and no matter what position he
may aspire to, he can count on
the loyal friendship and sup
port of the people of Stone
county and his district. We bid
him God speed"
After such a record as he
made as a public official, and
the magnificent endorsement
of same, it would be both sur
prise and disappointment to his
friends if ne were not a candi-
date for circuit judge, and he
does not hesitate to say that he
is going to make the race for
that office.-Stone County Rec

NEW CHALMERS CARS

With Improvements at Reduced
Prices Is Being Shown

Direct from the factory in time for

being made, the new Chalmers Six-4O

making a complete exhibit of the
Chalmers models, including the Six-40.
the Skis and the Master Six. Great
interest centers in the new Six-40 with
valve-in-hcad overhead camshaft
motor, the type that Chalmers en-
gineers report as having been quite
generally adopted in Europe before
the war stopped production. and said
to be the only stock car of this type
OF American make. This type of motor
broke the speed records at the In
dianapolis and Chicago speedway
races, going at the terrific speed of go
and 9S miles an hour. Instant get
away, wonderful fiexibility, great pow
er and economy are claimed for this
car.
1t will be two years in September
since Hugh Chalmers first conceived
the New Six-4O." One day he wrote
few words upon a slip of paper say
ing that a new car to sell for less than
$500 was to be the next Chalmers
creation. He then gave instructions
to send G. c. Hinkley, chief engineer,
to Europe to study foreign design.
While in Europe Hinkley vindicated
his own belief that the coming car
was to have a new motor principle. He
found every European manufacturer
at work on a car with valve-in-head
motor and overhead camshaft. This
type he saw tried out on foreign
racers. All plans were being laid to
incorporate the principle in the con-
tinental road cars when the war block
ed all European production. 1t was
thus left to the Chalmers company to
perfect the plans and introduce this
new motor to the world.
In q recent acceleration test this
new Chalmers car leaped from FIVE to
thirty miles an hour in fifteen seconds.
Its fuel consumption is amazingly
light. From a technical standpoint it
as man can design from his present
knowledge.
Charles Barner at the Keystone
Motor Car Company reports excep-
tional interest in this new Six-40. and
says that the new factory organization
increased facilities. additional build
ings, more men, more capital and
quadruple production has made the
extraordinary values in the new series
possible. A new service feature in

Tourists Find Improvement
in Road Conditions

With the interest of the American
motorist centered in America at least
for this summer-the problem of road
conditions in the United States be-
comes all important, both to the motor
car industry and to the motor car
owner.
The tourist Is being advised from all
sides to See America First" and
thanks to the great war, he'll see Am
erica this Summer-or little else. But
il he is going to see America, it is
quite likely he would be glad to get a
report on the condition of the roads
he is about to travel.
First hand information is coming to
light from numerous motorists who
have already taken to the road and it
is pleasing to note that the reports are
generally favorable and denote a de-
cided improvement in the condition of
our main highways.
Among those to comment on the
advance that has been made recently
in this country in road building is
Miss Joan Sawyer the distinguished
dancer, who is touring across the con-
tinent from New York to San Fran
cisco. Miss Sawyer has two Paige
cars for herself and her party. both
seven n-passenger Skies, Model "Six-46",
and being an ardent motorist, she is
personally doing most of the driving.
and sportswoman she is in a position
to make intelligent comment.
1t is Miss Sawyer's opinion, based on
her experience covering that section
of the route of her present transcon-
tinental tour from New York to Chi
cago. that at least the main travelled
roads are vastly improved over what
they were a short time ago. She also
declares that there is q noticeable
interest in and enthusiasm for good
roads in all the states she has passed
through. The good roads movement
is something more than sporadic ef-
forts, annual road bees, or tours de
force like the Lincoln Highway effort
it is now part of the spirit and life
of every community.
With the exception of few in
significant stretches. Miss Sawyer
made the trip from New York to Chi
caso, via Philadelphia, Washington
and Pittsburgh, in comfort and with
good speed. One of the features Of
Michigan travel that delighted her
were the excellent concrete highways
Detroit and which make touring from
the county line in like driving over
an asphalt pavement in good repair.
While Miss Sawyer admits that
cross-country touring for women is
greatly advanced and made far more
comfortable and safe by such cars as
the Paige, with its flexibility, ease of
riding and simplicity of control. yet
the advance of the good road move
ment is giving great boom to the
countrywide touring for women.
Give the women a good safe car, easy
to handle, and good highways and the
women drivers will multiply enorm-
ously. she says, and she believes, also,
that she has discovered already in her
tour the car and ample evidence that
good roads are rapidly increasing.

Mister Squeegee's Quaint
Remarks Stirs Curiosity

Mr.. Squeegee. the quaint figure used
in Diamond Tire advertising this year,
has in addition to attracting wide
spread attention, aroused the curiosity
Of many people. The Diamond Tire
Company has during the past few
months been receiving letters from
information-seekers, who desire to
learn more about Mr.. Squeegee-or
Mister" Squeegee, as he signs him
self-than is revealed in the advertis-
ing.
Some of these letters are amusing.
One, for instance, from a lady who
lives in Oklahoma indicates that Dia-
mond advertising is interesting not
only to men who buy tires, but to
women. as well.
II wish" the Oklahoma lady writes
you would tell me something about
Mister Squeegee. Is he a real person?
/ used to know a man In West Virginia
who looked just like Mister Squeegee
and he was person who was always
saying such wise things, too. His name
was Higsbee, and 1 thought he might
be writing for you under a nom de
plume.
we always look for the wise saying
of Mister Squeegee at the top of the
advertisement, although we do not own
an automobile and have no special
reason to be interested in tires-yet
But I hope we shall be able to have
one some day, and I am sure that
when we do we will want Diamond
Tires on 1t, on Mister Squeegee's ac-
count, if for no other reason. But I
think you will be glad to hear that
some friends of ours who have a car
use Diamond Squeegee Tires on it and
say they wouldn't think of putting on
any other kind, because they say the
Diamonds last so long and are so good
in every way.
'If Mister Squeegee is the Mr.. Higs-
bee that 1 used to know in West Vir-
ginia will you please let me know? 1
was little girl when We moved away,
and I have often wondered what ever
became of him, as he left that part
of the country about a year before
we did He always carried an UNI
brella, too"
The Diamond people say that the
origin of Mister Squeegee is a secret,
but they do not mind saying for the
benefit of the Oklahoma lady that he
probably is not her old friend from
West Virginia.
