WHY THE CLEAN SHOWS PAY.
Manager Melyilles Idea About II.

IT is the earnest effort of Mr. Bert
Melville owner and manager OF
Mellville's Comedians, the big
dramatic show coming to Harrison
for a weeks engagement during
the Boone County Fair, and starting
Monday Sept. 13, to give the lovers
of clean amusement the most ex-
pressive and complete entertainment
they have ever witnessed regardless
of price. 1t is also his desire to
make this the public's favorite show
aud his sincere intention to visit
this city every season, always hold
ing the show up to the high stand
ard be has attained. Mr. Melville
is a firm believer id clean shows and
under no circumstances will he per
NIT a play to be presented that is
not moral and refined.
Any vulgarian can gain a laugh
but it takes an artist to bring a
smile without a blush. Fathers and
mothers don't want their sons and
daughters to listen to suggestive
lines; a man would not take his wife
or sweetheart to witness a risque
scene. no matter how ludicrous it
might be, but all the world will
laugh and thoroughly enjoy quips,
Jest and comedy that is pure, chaste
and unsullied.
Every play presented by this ex'
cellent company is clean, absolutely
clean. That is why Melville's Com,
edians sail the smooth sea of pros
perity while other shows, some
vulgar, some mediocre, are wrecked
on the dark rocks of adversely.

School Improvement Meeting
Some GOOd Things Planned for The
Students of this Session.

The School Improvement ASsocia-
tion held a meeting on Tuesday and
decided TO give an ice cream social
on Saturday afternoon and evening
in the Court Park for the purpose of
raising money 10 build a retaining
wall south of the school grounds.
The need Of this wall is apparent to
even the most casual passer-by, and
the ladies OF the Association feel that
II Is IN an especlaI manner up to
them TO preserve the very Young
idea from breaking its neck down
that precipitous slope. it is always
the business as well as the pleasure
of the women of any city to take
care of all the children of that city.
And the 5. |. A. fully believes that
this building of a wall is large and
important bit of child.protection.
1t was also decided to supply the
school grounds with numerous
sandpiles for the tots, and other
school equipment for the larger
pupils so that the recess periods may
be times of recreation that really
recreates, as we'll as strengthens
muscles and steadies nerves. Fair
week will also be enlivened-or still
more enlivened-by School Tag Day.

TOM TRENT DECLARES
 PUBLIC IS M0T0R-W|sE

Tt is natural that people want to see
 the new things in automobiles as they
 are placed on the market" said Tom
 conversation with newspaper men last
 week
 Tt is the same all over the country. The moment a new car is announced, in flock the people to have a look. It seems that ever since the inception of the automobile, people have always been anxious to keep informed on hap penings in the automobile industry. People ask far more intelligent questions at the automobile shows this year than they had ever asked at pre- vious shows. This also proves my con- tention that you cannot sell an un- proven car, no matter how much inter- est is shown in it, because the pur- chasers today have learned that be-
 cause thing is new does not necessar- | fly mean that it will prove durable or efficient.
 Tt is now about three years since the Maxwell company put the medium | priced car on the market They were | the first company to put a car of so much value at this price on the market It remained for Walter E. Flanders president of the Maxwell Motor com pany, to recognize that the public were | looking for car embracing all the features of the higher priced machines | and to sell at q price midway between
 the lowest and medium priced cars.

the 'torsion curve of the particular part under test Formerly this meas urement was calculated more or less accurately by an attendant, but the new device not only does away with human attention but is absolutely correct in every particular. The collection of twisted steel crank shafts, connecting rods and other parts, which form part of Dodge brothers exhibit at the Chicago show. are the work of this machine and testify as to the remarkable unifor- mity of it's oreration.'
 The entire idea of the immense testing departments maintained by Dodge brothers is to eliminate in ferior material. By testing out every particle of steel, paint, varnish. enam- els, leather, top material and every item that goes to make up the mod ern well built car, the manufacturer not only saves a tremendous waste, hut keeps faith with the owners of the car who expect to receive many seasons of use from their purchase.

THE FORD FOUR IN NEW DRESS
Improved Appearance With All Old
 Points of Excellence

Would you know a Ford if you met one coming up the street? Now, don't be too sure unless you've seen rived. The Ford garage has re-
 Ceived a large shipment of the at
 tractive new cars and the many i'm
 provements and refinements they show have stimulated great deal of
 conversation on the part of the be
 holders. In the first place, tine
 wooden dash has disappeared and in
 dash. which produces the stream
 line effect so much sought after. The
 next thing one notices is that tho
 new windshield is of clear vision
 ..ype, with lap front adjustment so
 that even a driving rain cannot come
 into the car. as through some wind
 shields. The new windshield is car
 ried in a heavy neat socket so the
 braces are no longer necessary. The
 acetylene lighting system has been
 abandoned, and in place of the large
 lighted headlights are some neal
 CT smaller headlights made in the
 Ford factory, and lighted by cleo trlcity, the current coming from tke new heaVy-duty magneto, of the same type as that used in the Ford sedan. The dash and tail lights are also of heater pattern and are made in the Ford factory. The fen ders are full curved, adding to the graceful appearance of the car. The horn is placed under the hood, while the new type speedometer is driven by a cable which is carried in a new position so that the troublesome swivel joint is no longer necessary The most important changes in the chassis are the heavy new style housings on the rear axle and on tie drive shaft
 All of the cars thus far assembled have been sold and the four Ford | salesmen are a mighty impatient lot l Ed. Rudolph is on the coast, telling | the Los Angeles Ford folks that they simply mustn't interfere with bis 1 shipments, ard that if they get toe gay he will buy the Ford factory SC | he won't have to disappoint his GUS toners so many times a season or deliveries. Ed. is expected back ir | time for the auto show and will probably bring few new Ford stories with him. .

next stretch of country will never get into trouble. Even the desert stretches are not dangerous now. unless the mo- torist is foolish in the extreme. There are arid regions no matter which route is chosen. Yet even the desert is not without scenic charm. one does not even regret travel that may be at times disagreeable, when it is only part of a wonderful panorama which in the main is made up of peaceful prairies and ma JeStic mountains.
 The roads of the Pacific coast offer wonderful opportunities to the motorist. Once there, it is only by a supreme eff fort one is brought to face the raising sun for the trip home. Not only in California. but in the other coast states, Studebaker automobiles are in such widespread use it is estimated that there is a Studebaker service station on an average of every 30 miles from Seattle to San Diego.

 Yuma County Starting Work
 After prolonged litigation the s5OO,- 900 bond issue for good roads voted by the citizens of Yuma county two years ago is now available, and work will begin in the next ninety days. A large share of the money to be spent will be used in putting tte Borderland highway in the best shape possible. State Engineer Cobb will go to Yuma this week to confer with the board of supervisors re- garding the work to be done on the Phoenix Yuma stretch, and the work will be started as son as it has been definitel? dt Vided just where to be- gin.
 Assurance that there will be nc delay in crossing the Colorado al Yuma, and that there is in course l of construction a gcn1 road around the Mammoth wash is expected to attract many tourists ro the south ern route, who nigh. otherwise have been deter 'od from attempting this read in addition the news that 1 Yuma co lrty vii shnctl,' have the highway east to the Mariccpa line in the best possible shape will bt sent far and wide, and is expected .l bring thousands more traveller; through this part of the state.

 The old Mammoth wash, one of the worst obstacles to travel east and

 The new machine is designed eX- pressly for measuring the torsion or twisting length of steel used in the manufacture of moving parts. The distinctly novel part of the machine is the autographic attachment which records in ink on graduated chart,

 THE COAST THIS YEAR

Inquiry among Studebaker owners in a small part of the country has shown that already 5000 Studebaker machines will make the trip to the coast. This will somewhat increase the number of cars of this make in California, but not to a great extent. The sum total is all ready large Last year 1866 Stude- baker Fours and Sixes were sold in the state, a greater number by thou sands than any other machine selling for more than $600 Taking the country as a whole, several times 5000 Stude- bakers will make the trip.
