ID. w. look SENDS LETTER
FROM FAR OFF INDIA

Adra, B. N. r., India, April e.
The time has again come for us t
write our usual open letter. How
quickly the time flies. 1t seems but
short time since we last addressed
you in this way. 1t has been a very
busy season to all of us. We have
! all done what we could in getting the
gospel to the people. 1t appears to
us that more people have been
reached than in other years. The
health of the missionaries and the
Indian helpers has been such that
we were little hindered on that ac-
count. Some of the children, Geo.
Hees' little boy Harold and our old
est were troubled with fever part of
the time. At this station we took a
different method of travel in our
work. In place of the bullock cart
we used bicycles and the railway
train. By the railway we can go
four different directions. We would
take train out in the morning and
back again in the evening. This
saved us the trouble of camping
out. The attitude of the people to-
wards the gospel is about as be-
fore. Some seemed interested, while
others were Indifferent, some were
happier when we left them than
when we came to them. Those that
showed the best kind Of interest we
are endeavoring to follow up and
make the way more clear, and if
possible %constrain them to accept
Jesus the only Savior. Yes, the
only Savior, for there are none
amongst the great host of Hindu
dieties that eyer claimed the power
to save from sin, or ever promised
such a boon, but all instructed their
followers that by the merit Of GER
tain good works they might find |
finally admittance into heaven. Mo
manned could point to none but |
Christ, but that he offsets by a lot |
of other teaching. We found one
man, the son of a Christian, hid |
away in the villages try to get back
into Hindu caste again. He has
spent much money for his redemp-
ton by giving feasts to Brahums but
still they will not accept him. We
are hoping he will return to God.
One poor old woman, of low caste,
so weak and feeble she could not
live long, we taught simple prayer
we hope found God in the evening
of her life. We finally baptized our
Santhal brother of whom we have
written before.
Famine conditions continue. We
are digging our wells deeper for
water as our supply is failing. Small
pox is taking away quite a large
number of our villagers. The hot
season is here and it is very hot.
We are looking for the Lords soon
coming. Are you? May we hear from
you. Yours in Him,
D. w. ZOOK.

MAXWELL MAKES
BIG REDUCTION
ON 1917 PRICES
Detroit Company Brings Cost of
Touring Car Down to $685.
Increased Production Lowers Car
That Has Splendid Record

Undoubtedly the most interesting
announcement for 1917, with regard
to automobiles in the lower-priced
field, comes from the Maxwell Motor
Company, Inc. of Detroit. This an
nouncement is that the price on
their touring car and roadster is
materially lowered. The touring car
is reduced from $685. to $685. the
roadster from $685. to $3.50.
In this definite announcement of a
substantial reduction in price, the
Maxwell company also announces
that there will be no changes in the
car This confirms all previous an
nouncements that the Maxwell car
is now a standardized product. Wal
ter E. Flanders, president and gen
eral manager of the Maxwell COM
pany, and the ables corps of engi-
neering and manufacturing experts
he has gathered around him are
convinced that their product has
attained such uniform degree of
excellence that the necessity for
radical changes in design and con-
struction has been eliminated.
The change in Maxwell prices be-
came effective July 1.
In explaining the reason for the
big reduction in the price of Max
we'll cars, the manufacturers de-
clare that increased production
made it possible.
100000 Cars for 1917
THE manufacturing cost per car
has been greatly reduced by our in
creased production" said Mr.. Elan
ders. "Our plants at Detroit, Dayton
and Newcastle have been taken to
their capacity to supply the orders
of our dealers. We have made ar
rangements for the manufacture of
100000 cars for this year and we
know from the enthusiasm with
which our 1917 announcement was
received that this number will be
disposed of early.
Certainly no other car in this
field can point to the consistent per-
Torrance behind the 1915 Maxwell.
This car has given such excellent
satisfaction under all conditions
that we would not feel justified to
change it in any particular"

IN important duty that deyolyes

RAILROADS NEED
 NATIONAL CONTROL
State Laws Drawbacks, Says Chairman Of A. I. and Santa Fe

Cincinnati, O., Oct. 1.-The fifth annual convention of the Investment Bankers association of America will come to a close here tonight with banquet at which the principal speak CT will be United States Senator Rob- ert L. Owen of Oklahoma.
 Senator Owens topic will be '"The federal reserve act and it's relation to investment banking.'
 The program for the convention called for two business sessions today.
 Walker D. Hines, chairman of the executive committee of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, ad- dressed the convention on The needs and the opportunities of the railroad situation" He urged as the prime need of the public and railroad cor porations, legislation which will pro- vide an orderly and responsible me- thod of settling railroad labor dis putes as a substitute for the terror ism of the strike"
 Of equal importance, Mr. Hines de- clared, was legislation whereby state regulations reducing net income through reductions of rates and in crease of costs will be superseded by national regulation; and legislation
  bonds shall be derived from and the 1 method of their issue supervised by | the nation. All these things were needed to insure the stability of rail- road reorganization plans.
 The public is interested in the rail- | road companies being able to raise sufficient additional capital to keep the railroad properties abreast of the progressive demands of our rapid ly developing business and civiliza- tion," said MT. Hines.
 That capital cannot be secured un- less investor can be induced to fur nish it. and investors cannot be in | duced to furnish it unless attractive securities can be offered, and these l securities cannot be attractive unless there is reasonable prospect that the railroad net income shall not be indiscriminately impaired through l fragmentary local legislation anC through irresponsible exactions ot organized labor"

SAYS ALLIES WILL WIN
Rev. George T. Berry Gives New Brit ain Women Account of Relief Work in France.

About fifty women attended the ad- dress given by Rev. George T. Berry at the First Congregational church yesterday afternoon. Rev. Mr. Berry is travelling about the country in the interest of relief work for the French
 army and declares that the issue will
 be settled in the favor of the allies.
 Rev. MT. Berry said that this war is showing the world that the French have once again gained the power
 that was thought lost. The people are showing their worth by sending their sons into battle, the younger men always being ready to take the place of the father The McAll Cir cle, a powerful nation wide organiza- ton, was responsible for yesterdays lecture. Rev. MT. Berry asked the ladies to work even harder this year and to continue the good work that was started in relief last year.
 The speaker promised that from out of the chaos would come types Of people of better caliber to live in the new stronger and cleaner world. Men of all religions are working side
 by side to do all the possible good
 in the line of relief and even after the war will continue to work to- gether for the benefit of mankind.
 The effect of the war has stirred the religious feeling in some to the depths while others show no display of feel ing whatsoever.
 France has the admiration of the world because she is fighting her own battle and also the worlds battles, he said. When Joffre sent the French infantry against the German lines and
 drove them back from the attack on Paris the crisis had come in the af- fairs of France and once more she came into her own. Letters and writ CTS were quoted in order to prove the stuff" of which the French are made
 Many times the religious workers turn their attention from their serv- ices and religious work to give aid to the stretcher carriers. The French affected by the war are hav- ing their time taken up by influence l of circle workers and these new oc- equations will in time give them strength to believe in the will of God The entire world will be benefited by | the war and those lowered will conn l out refreshed and bettered by the ex- perience.
