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 ser.ice the Maxwell car gives is
known. $4,000 satisfied Maxwell owners
nave given the car the rough and tumble acid
test of fully eighteen months service. The
Maxwell has shown that it is able to stand
up under the severese use. In cities, over
country roads, through mud and sand and up
the steepest mountains, the 1915 Maxwell

THE SERVICE THAT THE MAXWELL

The service that the Maxwell car gives
cannot be questioned. Any automobile

Methodist Church

After a few weeks of absence, and
a most enjoyable visit to the west it
is with pleasure that we return to our
labors among the people Of Canton.
We wish to thank the mem bers Of our
congregation for their kindness in
improving he parsonage during our
absence. We appreciate the kindness
OF the brother pastors who made 1t
possible for us TO be away by filling
our pulpit during our absence. We
were pleased TO hear the good reports
OF the work while we were away. The
crowded services last Sabbath and the
splendid Easter program in the even
ing were pleasure to all. There will
be services next Sabbath as usual.
The theme in the morning will be
"The Handy work Of God' In the
evening the theme will be "He is
faithful that promised" We will give
some observations Of prison life In the
evening service. Everybody will be
welcome at these services.

Shitfless Legislating

While the question of legislative
efficiency Is nder consideration,
would it not be well to devise some
plan by which bills can be disposed of
once and for all after their hackers
have had fair chance to present
their merits and secure an expression
OF legislative sentiment? During the
present session of the Iowa assembly
spirit OF seeming reluctance to ap-
ply the quletus to doomed bills has
resulted in what appears to be Who'll
ly. unnecessary clogging Of the calen-
dar Ia both houses the senate parti-
cularly.
When represen tative moves for
reconsiderati ton after his measure has
been beaten by a not overwhelming
majority il may be sportSmanike, but
1t is not buSinesSiike for his colleagues
to adopt the motion and provide for a
later retbraShing OF the old straw.
When senate committee recon-
somebody's pet measure and a major
ity Of the senate has indicated its ap-
proval of the committee's Judgment,
1t may be sporting, but it is not eco
nomical, to accord senator the cour-
tesy OF putting mis- little bill Oh the
calendar and giving him a chance to
do missionary work among the men,
bers until he thinks there Is chance
of calling it up with good chance of
success.
Every bill is entitled 10 earnest con-
Sideration in committee and a fairly
prompt report oOe way or another.
Every com N ittee report is entitled to
the serious consideration Of the body
to which it is submitted. But it is not
necessary that each house should pass
two or three times on the merits of
every important proposition. The
square deal does does not require such
a waste of time Every measure Is en-
titled to its day In court. When de-
feated it is not entitled to an appeal
to the same tribunal which tried it
in the tirst place. The disposition to
postpone final settlement of some
measures is likely to prevent the Civ
ing of fair consideration to other
measures later on, merely on account
of lack of time.-[Sioux City Journal.

U!rckson of Norway township, was
standing In the stable Thursday noon
OF last week, when his father and the
hired man we're putting up their
teams. A colt, as colts usually, DO,
GOT frightened and ran out doors,
knocking the boy down and hitting
the boy in the face with it's hoof.
The boy was brought to the city and
placed in charge of DR., Holmgren. The
boy was badly bruised and it was
feared that his skull was FEATURED
but such Is not the case. The boy
will soon be all right.
Last Monday night the old and the
new city council met in joint session,
ard the management of the city was
transferred to Mayor Laxson and the
new city officers. Mayor Cooper de-
iivered his closing address which is
worthy Of perusal. Mayor elect Lax
sons inaugural address is Il document
worth reading, The other city officers
qualified, and then Mayor Cooper and

Dry Prospects,.

One hundred years of continuous
rainfall records have recently been
completed in New Bedford, Mass, and
serve to disprove thoroughly the COM
mon belief that the climate is not so
good as it used to be. Only half as
many dry periods occurred in the last
fifty years as in the first fifty years;
SO that the records really are warn
ing for that section at least, to expect
more dry periods in the next genera
ton. The recent decades have been
fortunate above the average, and con-
sequently the next few decades are
quite likely to pay the bill.
The records were started in 1914 by
Samuel Rodman, and continued by him
until his death, in 1876. His son then
kept them until his death, in 1905. For
more than ninety-one years the rain
fall was carefully recorded for exactly
the same spot in the same yard. The
chief engineer of the state health de-
partment has now completed the hum
dred years of figures by obtaining the
late records from another observer in
New Bedford, taken few miles from
the Rodman place.
The average annual rainfall was
46.45 inches: but in the first fifty years
there were four very marked dry Pc
RODS of two or three years each. In
the last fifty years there were only
two such dry periods-Saturday Eve

WANTED SERVICES PAID FOR
Indian Had His Own idea as to REC
ompense That Should Be
Awarded Him.

A reservation Indian was disconso-
late over the breaking of his ak
handle. He laid his misfortune before
the farmer" of the reservation, who,
through pity, took a new handle from
his private stock and adjusted it to the
ak. The farmer" then noticed that
the ak was shockingly dull. so, mo-
tioning the owner to turn the grind
stone, he expended half-hour's time
in sharpening the blade. When the
rehabilitated ak was given to the In
dian he was childishly gleeful, but still
fingered about, indicating by his &C
ton that some feature of the trans
action had not been adjusted. The
farmer was a little annoyed, and
called to an interpreter.
ASK the old fellow what he wants
now," he directed.
After an exchange OF grunts and
gestures the Interpreter announced,
"He wants twenty-five cents"
TWENTY-FIVE cents! What for?"
For turning the grindstone."

COME TO RESCUE OF BRU!N
Threatened With Extinction, Brother
Bear Has Found That He Has
Some Friends.

Since the bear flag" days bruin has
tative Of the Golden state. He occu.
pies a place on its great seal, and in
deed, has become a sort of institution
When he is not working at his more
dignified job he engages in picking up
acorns, acting as scavenger around
mountain camps and making an occa-
sional raid upon farms in the hills.
He has come to be known, in private
life, as a rather amiable and lazy lcl-
low, if undisturbed, and indeed it may
be claimed for him that he has a host
OF friends.
But bruin, in the wild, has come close
to the great divide. For many years
he has made sport for the hunter dur
ing the summer, and for the trapper at
all seasons. Nowadays there are not
very many of k..n. Extinction is inn
minent- He is about to go the way Of
many another distinguished brute.
A Siskiyou county legislator has
rushed to his relief with bill prohibit.
ing the killing of bears during the
summer and eliminating at all seasons
the trapping privilege. A like meas
ure, it is said, is finding it's way into
numerous western legislatures, and is
being supported rather than opposed
by sportsmen. 1t is their hope that
bruin will be able to maintain his
place in the sun.-Los Angeles Ex.

Tho First Touch Of War,

We did not encounter any battle
ships on the way over, but 1 caught
a rather poignant glimpse of the war
as we drew up to the Princes landing
stage in Liverpool. Long before any
regular conversation was possible we
saw a well-dressed woman on the
dock. An Englishman with voice
worthy of the Bull of Bashan began to
shout questions at her.
Have you news of Fred?"
The woman nodded.
"Good?"
The woman shook her head.
rs he captured?"
She shook her head.
"Wounded?
Again she shook her head.
And a woman aboard who stood be-
side the strong-voiced man tainted.

THEN HE WANTED HIM BADLY
Sandy Realized the Need Of Insurance
When the "Flre Flond" Got
Down to Work.

The following story, the chief actor
In which is still alive, would seem to
justify the term "canny" sometimes
applied to the Scot.
An old retired Fifeshire farmer was
from time to time called on and ad-
vised to insure his house against fire
by an agent who was familiarly known
as Sandy"
The old man, however, met the
agents advances with Ma, nal" fol-
lowing by what he doubtless consid-
cred a clinching argument: my hoose
is no likely to gang on fire, mon!"
The unexpected, however. happened,
and the neighbors were astonished to
see the old man, instead of trying to
put out the fire, running up and down
the village street, shouting:
"Whaur's that man Sandy moo?
Whaur's that insurance chap? It's
terrible ye can never get body when
ye're needin' inn"

VALUABLE ARM OF SERVICE
Marines Can Point to Record Of Great
Distinction in the History of
the Country.

Instead Of telling it to the ma
rines." according to the popular say
ing, the government is now telling II
to the people who know all about the
army and the navy, but comparatively
little about the marines. Yet marines
served under John Paul Jones, they
raised the flag over Tripoli, helped
capture the city Of Mexico, entered
and fortified Chapultepec, were fore
most in our troubles in the far east
and at Guantanamo. To tell the peo-
pie all this and also what the marine
Is, the government has now an adver-
tising bureau, which sends informa-
ton directly and which in six months
has been SO successful that the old
way of paid advertising has been dis
carded. The corps numbers $40 ON
GERS and 10000 men, and there Is not
a vacancy Attention of boys, city
and country, is brought directly to the
corps by photographs from life at re-
cruiting stations, and literature that
is Give" and readable. On enlistment,
recruits are first drilled as infantry
soldiers. then field artillerymen, and
members of machine gun companies
For landing service and defenders OF
the naval advance they are taught the
use of portable searchlights, wireless
telegraph They find ranges, place sub
marine telegraph lines, handle torpe-
does, build and destroy bridges, mount
ships guns and so on. All Of which 1t
is apparent is range of duties far
wider than that of any other arm OF
the service. In short. the marine corps
is for the first time perhaps becoming
really known, and the knowledge
shows what a high place it occupies.
