NEW STYLE FRANKLIN
 COMING FOR HAGEMAN

After q long impatient wait of six weary weeks George Hageman was made happy yesterday by a telegram from the Franklin Automo- bile CO that one of the new Series g. cars had been shipped him. This car is due to arrive here the last of the coming week and many Franklin enthusiasts will be glad of the opportunity to look it over and count the improvements and refine ments over the Series - of which a number were sold here earlier in the summer.
 The '-S" in the name of the new model refers to the series number only and not to the number of cylin- ders as some have imagined. The standard Franklin six-cyiinder motor is used. with only slight changes. The car has been still further light ened so probably will have no diff ficulty in maintaining its position as the premier scientifically lightweight car.
 The Franklin factory reports ship ments for August as T per cent ahead of last year and many dealers have their auotments sold out to October first In spite of the fact that the Franklin factory has been enlarged and made more efficient in many ways. it has a greater number of thrilled orders than ever before.

AUTOMOBILE SKIPPER
 ENR0UTE ID FLORENCE
Caught Quickly and at Once Admitted
 His Guilt

Walter s. Merriam, a young man who has been lowering about the entrance of the penitentiary even as a moth is attracted to the flame of a candle, got a good start yesterday to-
 ward becoming an inmate of that in st tuition. A few nights ago w. T. Campbell found his automobile stripped of all the appliances which contribute to it's mobility. The car bureter, the magneto and part of a self starter were missing.
 Just how suspicion was directed to- once the finger was pointed at him the rest was easy and Williams, the motor deputy sheriff visited his place near Glendale and found the missing parts He took Merriam into custody and that young man at once admitted his guilt.
 In the afternoon he was taken be- fore Justce De Souza, where he again admitted that he had stripped the au- tomobile. He waived examination and was held to the superior court for sentence. Merriam is only nineteen years of age and does not look like q criminal, but for the last three years he has been in more or less trouble growing out of manipulation of automobiles. He has been engaged in making repairs on machines and re- building in a small way.

AN IDEAL GOOD OLD AGE

The Rev. pr. Sydney Strong, speak ing recently at the Queen Anne Con gregational church on Some of the Signs of a Good Old Age" referred to the centennial of Thomas Wardall of West Seattle, and said that to a good old age the future opens new gates, while the gates of the past are closing behind.
 s"A good old age has learned to em- pha size important things" Doctor Strong said Tt is sad to see one grow old only in years, or tall only in inches. Too many old men take delight in parade and show eXternals. childish things not vet put away. A good old age emphasizes the abiding things.
 "A good old age becomes mellow and ripe. There is less of durability, more of contentment. Children are joy to a good old age. God is nearer
 But all old people are not good Some are reaping the harvest of iniqui ty. The passions have never been chained. Jealousy and hatred have grown together with the declining years, when old age is season of la mentation Past memories rise up to shake their bony fingers and mock Life goes out in the midst of clouds and lightnings.
 But good old age-one like slow dropping, mellow autumn after a rich and glorious summer-an old age as beautiful as some of the glorious days,

BUEHLER ID JUDGE
 PRESCOTT CHERUB|MS
Former Phoenix Telephone Man Has
 New Honor Thrust Upon Him

Once upon a time R. NJ. Buehler was districl manager of the Noun tain States Telephone company, with headquarters in this city. But the Prescott district was enlarged and it was decided that a live wire was needed to take care of the increasing business. so .9uehler was sent north to blaze the way. lie has been blazing away ever since, so much si they de- cided to keep him there.
 That Buehler has convinced the thinking people of Yavapai that he is a good citizen is evidenced by the wireless messa ges that are being re ceived from Prescott announcing that the former Phoenix telephone man has been appointed director general and determiner extra ordinary of the baby show to be held in conjunction with the Northern Arizona Fair. And Buehler-like. the object of this par ticular honor has risen to the occa- sion and says he will make a record or bust.
 of course I realize" said Buehler. when notified of his selection, that I am treading upon dangerous ground when l agree to announce that one Womans baby is handsomer than some other fond mothers cherubim, but have a scheme which won't he di- vulged until it is put into practical use that I believe will put everybody in a good frame of mind and will save me from the embarrassment that sometimes attends the handing down of decisions affecting beautiful babies and babies not so beautiful This is a job not of my own seeking, but now that it is thust upon me l am going to act the part of the man and go through with it if I never do another thing

PACKARD PAYROLL IS
 BIGGEST IN HISTORY

With S,20O employees at work. mal- ing up the largest payroll in it's his tory. and orders for its product com ing in greater volume than ever be- fore, the Packard Motor Car Com rany has found it necessary to pro- vide large extensions to it's Detroit plant At the present time. additions comprising nearly 400.000 square feet of floor space are nearing completion. To get the picture of what this means in the aggregate, imagine a single floor 400 feet wide and 1000 feet long.
 So rapidly has the Twin Six de- mand developed within the past few weeks that, in many cases, the ad ditions are double the size originally planned. The buildings now under way will cost approximately $150.0 0.000 and will bring the total floor space area of the Packard plant to As acres.

Beginning with tho sweeping plan

through various plans OF lesser con-

rcQuisitioning and licensing OF Brit

expected to meet the complaints Of
owners who claimed to be suffering
great hardship because the admiralty
In reQuisitioning ships always seized

ports. while ships which traded be-
tween foreign ports escaped govern
mcnt service. The second committee
was constructed TO cooperate with
the first by institutng system
whereby all British ships engaged
In trade between foreign ports must
have license to continue In such
business.
Neutral traders looked upon the
advertised intentions Of this second
committee with great alarm, but
nothing has occurred to justify their
misgiyings Of general disorganixa-
ton Of foreign commerce which de-
depnded on British bottoms for Its
conveyance. No change has taken
place; vessels with home ports con-
tinue to suffer from arbitrary requi-
sition by the admiralty. while no

Lone Workman at Portable Mill inI
Woods Meets Distressing Fate
on Carrier.

Jenkintown, Pa, Oct. 13.-To be dis
membered and killed by a circular
saw. Monday afternoon was the fate
of John Fenton, employed as saw
yer at a portable sawmill in the for
est at Walnut Hill, Montgomery coun-
tv some distance above Fox Chase.
Fenton had been working arduously
at the mill, and when no other attache
of the mill was in position to see in
detail just what happened, he start
ed a heavy chestnut log, on the car
rier toward the 42-inch circular saw
that was to reduce it to lumber.
Such task requires sawyer to
stand on the carrier alongside the log,
to steady it. Just as the forward end
of the timber approached the saw,
which was revolving about 1000 times
minute, Fenton slipped and fell
ahead Of the big log.
Before he could even writhe to diff
ferent position the cruel teeth of the
saw had ripped almost the entire
length of his left arm and cut it off.
The friction caused by bone, blood
and clothing was so great that the
carrier was momentarily and auto
matically thrown back a few feet;
then it slid to the saw again.
This time poor Fenton lost both
legs, and was otherwise dismembered.
so that death must have been almost
and this time the fric-
ton of the almost unsawable live ma
terial was so great as to stop the
machinery.
The body was soon discovered by
others about the mill.
