way for him TO get that In motoring
Is to have light yet durable motor

carry him over the worst roads in an
easy manner.

that wear out the tires and this item

In Saxon cars, along with light

LIGHT CARS ARE MOST
ECONOMICAL TO RUN

Light weight in motor cars is be-
coming more and more an attraction
to the motorist, according to Morey
Raby, distributor for Saxon Motor
Cars. "The weight of an automo-
bile" he says, "is the thing that peo-
pie ask among the first queries con-
corning any make.
when the light cars began to go
through the places where the big cars
stuck, the public sat up and took no.
tice," said Mr.. Raby." When the light
cars continued to operate with their
same power and reliability after trips
over roads that were considered i'm
passable, the theories that this kind
of travel would ruin light car were
dispelled and the public began to see
that it is possible and also policy to
construct light motor car which has
the endurance of the old-time heavy
automobile.
"No motorist, much as he may en-
joy the idea of driving a car of the
size that makes it comparable to
traction engine, likes to be marooned
in a muddy road and have to call on
team of horses to get him out.
Neither does he like to have to route

road over which he must ride and not

LlNCOLN'S ARMCHAIR.
IL Had One Great Charm Despite lite
ForIorn Condition.

Foriorn Conoition.
There is an interesting story of
Abraham Lincoln's quaint humor that
turns on his habit of sitting with his
long legs thrown over one arm of his
chair. That was a habit common
among country lawyers sixty or seven
ty years ago. and Lincoln never got
over II.
Very fond Of the ease he found In old
slippers, he would often meet his off,
cial family with them on his feet. and
during cabinet meetings he would
sometimes sit with one or both legs
dangling across the chair.
In the cabinet room was an arm
chair which from the constant batter
ing OF the presidential legs had grown
weak and seemed almost ready to
shake to bits. A few days after Lin
coins second Inauguration there was
cabinet meeting, and one of the cabi-
net ministers noticed the old chair and
remarked on its rickety appearance.
ut seems to me-" he said as he gazed
down on the old wreck that stood at
the head Of the table, that the United
States ought to furnish the president
with better chair than that"
Lincoln screwed up his face into
comical smile.
What Is the matter with that chair?"
he asked. Shabby as 1t is, there are
thousands of men in this country who
would be delighted to occupy it,

NO cholera IN !.
HAWAII, OPINION
OF DIR. NORGAARD

That the diseases which affect the
hogs of Hawaii is more likely to be
pneumonia and other similar illnesses
and not hog cholera and for that rea-
son the introduction of q virus should
not be allowed, Yves the stand taken
by Dr. Victor A. Norgaard, territorial
veterinary, at the, monthly meeting
of the board Of commissioner of ag-
rieultufe And forestry.
The, disedssion was brought by a
letter received from AT. Castle OF
the Keno Farm, raisers Of hogs, in
which they asked the boards permits
sion to import virus for the .innocu-
iation Of some OF their hogs which
they believed ere slightly infected
with cholera.
DR.. Norgaard said that he had been
Unable to detect any. sign of cholera
at Kemoo Farm and as far as he
could ascertain there was none of
this disease in Hawaii at the present
time. He said further that from re-
ports he had received from practical
~ every state in the union, it was the
opinion OF all experts that the virus
should not be used unless absolutely
necessary and that when cholera was
unusually prevalent.
The board decided tnat DIR. Nor
gard should see Castle and explain
his stand before any action was taken.
