Its advantages are three
fold. On hills it enables
you to get far more speed
on less power. 1t gives
% swifter acceleration.
And it protects the motor
from over-heating and over
working because the prop
er speed can be maintained
under all road conditions.
A car which has not a
t h r e e-speed transmission
simply cannot compare
with the Saxon Roadster in
flexibility and efficiency.

which establishes the supe-

Proves That Hoover !.
Digger Is Best Buy

Do you remember that we advised
you to. plant potatoes last spring.
Judging by the money that some Of
our readers are getting for potatoes
it was a good "hunch." Present in
dications are that next year will also
be. a good year to plant ''spuds. {"
Prices of fertilizer and spraying ma
terials are prohibitive to eastern po-
tato growers. You do not require
these on this new soil. This year
has convinced farmers that Hoover
potato machinery is the best by far.
A. l.. Goodspeed of Grant Valley
broke a casting on his Hoover potato
digger, and as he had a lust as
good" digger he changed machines
and went on digging, but soon found
that the lust as good" digger was
covering about half his potatoes He
then telephoned us for the casting.
Moral: Buy the best; the "just
as good" always give trouble.

Major Butler Carried His obstinaey

An amusing incident of camp life in
Revolutionary days is related by the
author Of Romance and Realism of
the Southern Gulf Coast"
In 1893 the first United States
troops that came down the Mississippi
were quartered at Fort Adams. Gen
eral Wilkinson by some accident got
his cue burned off. Angry at the
laugh which followed his mishap, he

any officer to appear with cue

"1'l see him hanged before l cut off

The major was put under arrest, but
he declared obstinately that he would
spend the rest of his life in prison be-
fore he would comply with such silly
command. Soon afterward he was tax

CHINESE SOLDIERS.

They Arc Regarded With Aversion by
Their Own Countrymen.
The well known olden dislike Of.
even contempt for, soldiers common to
the Industrious masses Of China, in
town as in country, is based on their
experience that the soldier is loafer
most Of the time and a terror to his
country when war is in the air. They
have not 'glorifed valor or quite
grasped the beauty, not to say the
duty, Of dying for ones country, al
though when they do fight they face
death with a great indifference.
Discussing this phase Of the Chinese
character, Mr.. Yone Noguchi, the jap
anese writer, says in the course of a
recent article:
'"The Chinese hatred of soldiery bust
ness or the encouragement Of effemi-

Two Visitina Cards.

In 1914 when M. de Lagrene was sent
under Louis Philippe as minister ex-
traordinary to China the courtesy Of
the ambassador greatly impressed the
Chinese statesmen, particularly their
"doyen." After the negotiations had
been completed and M. de Lagrene was
ready to embark delegation brought
him great roll Of paper. The ambas-
sador seeing this parcel at once thought
this was present, knowing Chinese
methods, but to his surprise they start
ed to unron the cylinder, which extend
ed to about fifty meters of paper, over
1852 feet. Then he learned that It was
the visiting card of the "doyen." In re-
turning his modest little bristol board
the Inundated ambassador added a
few words, which read, "The ambsssa-
dor Of France regrets that he is able to
offer only these simple words to your
EXCELLENCE"

badly on a cold or rainy day, he was

his friends had been killed in the bat

Hen b. who sets and hatches. Immediately,

the second definition we've quoted above from
good old Noah Webster. II Is even possible for

the ability OF a rooster to become both mother
