MORE THAN 1000 MAXWELL DEALERS
ALWAYS AT YOUR SERVICE


Each of the Maxwell dealers in the
United States and Canada is an automobile
expert Anyone of them stands ready at all
times to give advice and assistance to any
Maxwell owner. You can tour all of the
United States and Canada and should your
car require the attention of an expert you
will find a Maxwell dealer near at hand. If
you need replacement part, and the dealer
does not have it in stock, he can get it for
you from the nearest Maxwell branch within
few hours.
Maxwell owners never have their cars
out of service for days or weeks at time
waiting for replacement parts.
The $695 Maxwell "Wonder Car" is the
greatest real automobile value ever offered.
The service that the Maxwell Motor Com
pany gives is not surpassed by the service
given by any other automobile manufacturing
organization in the world.

When you buy an automobile you buy
two kinds of service. First The service
given and guaranteed by the car itself.
Second:-The service given by the maker
and the dealer while the car is in use.
The service the Maxwell car gives is
known. $4,000 satisfied Maxwell owners
have given the car the rough and tumble acid
test of fully eighteen months service. The
Maxwell has shown that it is able to stand
I'D under the severest use. In cities, over
country roads, through mud and sand and up
the steepest mountains, the 1915 Maxwell
has made good for $4,000 owners.
THE SERVICE THAT THE MAXWELL
MOTOR COMPANY GIVES
The service that the Maxwell car gives
cannot be questioned. Any automobile
owner from time to time requires service

speetfuily, A KIRKLAND READER
1t pains us exceedingly TO he unable to an
swer our anxious Kirkland friend from any save
very limited intimacy with wildcats. Thus far,
the wildcat has been rather remote from our
sphere
Our experience has been largely confined to
and cramped by relations with wild politicians,
wild poets and wild competitors, and il would be
pleasant and far from an onerous task to tell what
made them wild, but only on very rare occasions
has the wildcat taken any conspicuous part in our
editorial career that we remember.
However, there's no reader who shall come
to this fount of knowledge and 60 away ahrst
and unmoStened. and so we show what makes
wildcat wild by the following incident
One time, at the age OF 10 years, we Dor
rowed an absent-minded neighbours best coon dog
and went after coon down in the urban depths of
Portage county, Ohio. We were clad in one straw
hat one calico shirt, one pair of uncles home
spun pants, and woodchuck skin moccasins, the
latter fine protection against chestnut burs and
that long, sharp rbbony grass that gets between
your toes and cuts like blazes.
We were young The night was very dark.

Years had previously been spent by $50

were queer creepy, groany noises in the tree trunks
and feace corners.
We sal ON the top rail of the fence and told
the dog to go into the black black woods and get

Race and Nativity.

Among native whites, the
number of blind persons per
100000 population Of the same
race and nativity was only 55,
whereas for the total population
the ratio was 62.3 to 100000.
The corresponding ratios for
other elements of the population
we're; Foreign-born whites S,
74.5 to 100000; Negroes, 80 to
100000; Indians, 1925 to 100,-
900; Chinese, Japanese, and all
other nonwhites 1872 to 100, 1000.
The fact that blindness is more
common among foreign-born
whites than among native
whites is, however, due to the
fact that the former class con-
tains relatively more people of
advanced age than does the lat
ter. When the comparison is
confined to persons of the same
age, the lower ratio is invariably
found among the foreign-borr
whites. The remarkably high
ratio for Indians is due to the
prevalence of trachoma (granu.
lated eyelids) on Indian reserva,
tons. The low ratios for the
Chinese and Japanese may b.
explained in part by the fac.
that the members of these races
in the United States are com

OILING
FOR IMPROVING ROADS


Dean McC ausIand Of School of
Engineering of University of
Missouri Warns Supervisors
to Investigate Quality.
Many county commissioners
and road supervisors are writing
the School of Engineering of the
University of Missouri for in
formation and advice on the
matter of highway construction
and material for road making
purposes. Suggestions to sup
ervisors on matter Of mainten-
ance are always gladly given"
said E. j. cCausland, Dean Of
the School of Engineering.
attempts are now being made
in several parts Of the state to
keep dust down by the use Of
road oils. Supervisors should be
careful to investigate the quail
ity Of oil they use before putting
it on the highways. 1t is not
generally understood that there
are two distinct types of oil on
the market. One of these oils
has an asphalt base which
serves as a binder on the road
as soon as the lighter oil evap-
crates. The other has a paraf.
fin base and is to all intents anc
purposes a lubricating oil. This
kind Of oil, however, does moi
hold the road hard, or is not
binding. 1t leaves the roads
musty and sticky.
"Road oiling, properly done
gives a good surface. The city
Of Joplin has done some of this
work on their roads that hav,
already carried heavy traffi,
more than a year and now lool
as good as asphalt pavement"
Any Missourian may SEM
, samples of road oils to the En-
, cheering Experiment Station

! them examined at a moderatI
cost-merely enough to pay TO
the use of materials in the lab
oratory.

WAR HORSES AND MULES
NOT NEEDED HERE

Professor of Animal Husbandry
at University of Missouri Says
Few Good Animals Have Been
Sold to Europe.
"The European nations now at
war have purchased many Mis-
souri, horses and mules which
have been sold. "Of course they
have obtained some good ami
mails, but many of them have not
been of the best, and most of
the mules bought were full-aged.
The older mules were bought be-
cause they could stand the trip
across the Atlantic better than
the younger ones. Some good
cavalry horses were obtained"
Mr.. Trowbridge says a few
horse dealers have predicted a
high market price a short time
after the close of the war. They
are of the opinion that most of
the horses now being purchased
in this country will be killed, and
that soldiers will need many an
imals on returning to their
farms. Mr. Trowbridge believes
that the market will be good,
but he does not predict any ex-
ceedingly high prices. He says
that this country will be able to
supply any demands. A differ.
ent situation might arise, he
says, if the war continues fol
more than a year.
Between 100000 and 10000
horses and $4,000 and $4,000
mules were contracted for il

With a similar increase during

Mr.. Trowbridge says Missouri
has furnished about as many an
imals as any other state in tn
union.

medium age of the total popula-
ton of 1910 was 24.2 years
that is, one-half of the pOpula-
ton was 500 years, or nearly
two and one-half times as great.
Among children under 5 years
only 5 in every 100000 were
blind. Comparisons with earlier
censuses indicate that there has
been a decrease in the prevail
ence of blindness among the
younger classes of the popula-
ton.

Blindness in the United States.
Washington, D. C, July 2,
1915.-The blind population of
the United States in 1910 num-
bered 57,272, or 62.3 to each
100000 of the total population in
that year. Blindness is less
common in America than in
most other countries it has APP
parently decreased among the
youngest classes Of the popula-
ton in the last half century; it
is more prevalent among men
than among women; it is very
much more prevalent among In
dians, and considerably more
prevalent among negroes than
among whites. Trades taught
in schools or workshops for the
blind have equipped more than
1900 blind persons for total or
partial self-support.
These are some of the facts
brought out in a bulletin, The
Blind Population of the United
States, 1910, recently issued by
Director Sam. L. Rogers of the
Bureau of the Census, Depart
ment of Commerce, and prepar-
ed under the direction of DR..

. Spray for the Eggplant Lace,
bug.

Washington, D. c., June 90
The formula for an effective
spray for destroying the egg
plant lace-bug is given in a new
bulletin, No. 239, of the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture, which is intended primar-
lily for commercial growers of
eggplant. The eggplant lace
bug is practically new as a pest
and is to be found from the
South Atlantic Coast to the
Southwestern States wherever
the eggplant is grown on a COM
mercial scale and the damage
that it does may become very
great. Near Norfolk, Virginia,
in the summer of 1914, the in
jury was estimated at from 10
to Is per cent of the entire acre
age.
The ordinary truck farmer will
probably confuse the lace-bug
with other pests and attribute
the damage done by it to aphides
or plant-lice. The eggplant lace
bug, however, can be readily
distinguished by it's prominent
lace-like hood extending back of
the head and by the lace-like APP
pearance of its wings. 1t is US
ually grayish to light brown
and about 3-16 of an inch in
length.
1t attacks the eggplant by lay
ing its eggs on the under side of
the leaves where they hatch. AS
soon as the young emerge from
the eggs, they proceed to feed
upon the sap of the leaves which
, become yellow and dry. The
, pests then migrate from leaf tt
leaf until they have become
adults when they proceed to lay
. eggs on other plants. There il
, a possibility of several genera
tons in a season.
In investigating the bes.
methods of controlling thes,
! pests, it has been found that
spray consisting of 8 pounds o
/, fish-oil soap to so gallons o
water killed all of the nymph
and about So per cent of tn.
9 adults. No effect upon tn.
/ adults was produced by a spra,
! weaker than 6 pounds of soaI
Z to so gallons of water.
