Introducing the New Series
 Paige Fairfield |SSiix-46"

In the New Series Paige Fairfield ''Six-46,'' ,'' we introduce the most completely equipped nzotor car that can be pur- chased Orl t}2e American n1arket-obso- tsteLy irTespees50e of price.
 This is a broad clair71-a sweeping claim. But like every other statement made in the announcements of this company, it is the actual, literal Truth. Any com parative investigation will establish the fact cos1yi1cingLy And, when we speak of ''corap1ete equip- E2ent, please understand that we refer to every luxury and convenience that can contribute to the comfort of motoring. The New Series Fairfield is complete car 9 afaz:sked car. From every standpoint it represents the last word in elegance and luxury.
 Right now we might attempt to describe for you che many features that have been added to this greatest of all light &eZes. Even 3 partial list of accessories would 5tarc1e the man who believes that extreme motoring comfort is necessarily matter Of prooibitive cost.
 But we do not purpose to confine ourselves to descriptions, for this is one instance where mere words fail completely. 10 appreciate this car you must see #, ride i7 it, dytge ie. Then, and then only, can you understand what a thoroughly great achievement it represents. Then. and then only, will you realize that $1375 marks the utmost investment

that any one need make for the utmost in autornobiGng.
 And please don't accept this statement lightly or too sl1eptical1y. At least do yourself justice by checking up the facts. So iet us make you definite proposition. Go to the shotO TOOTH of the Paige dealer UUhere this neLO car is on exhibition. Ask hirq to giOe you thorough demonstration oUer any road conditions that you may select. Then c0hen you return to auton1obiIe rosv, driOe the Paige righe up along side any motor car ffaf is g20gU offered on the American naarket-and compare the ft0o feature for feature.
 See for yourself tO}1ez5er the FairfTeld is lack ing in any one defaiL tjaat argues for great- CT efficiency, comfort or lz1ury. See # any car-at any prjce-ca7 offer more intrinsic UaIue fhan tbs Fairfield at 'S1375. If we have overstated our case, you will know it just the minute that you have completed such comparison. If, on the other hand, we are ignt-a1d we sin cere1y believe that we are-then you will have done yourself real service and we shall both be the gathers. Surely no proposition could be fairer than this. Surely no intelligent man can afford to purchase any car until he has made an impartial investigation of this kind.

To Observe Fire Prevention Day.

Denver.-Seventy-three per cent OF
the fires in the United States, &C.
cording to the statistics which have
been carefully gathered in every city,
are due to carelessness. In other
words. due caution could save almost
three-fourths of the 100000 worth
of property destroyed annually, and
prevent the loss of thousands of lives.
These are conditions which have led
to official recognition on the part of
the president of the United States and
governors of many states, including
Governor Carlson of Colorado, of Fire

S2,OOO,O00 FOR BEETS
FROM LARGEST ACREAGE EVER
RAISED AT LoNGMoNT.
sIioins Begun From $500 Acres
Will Bring Four and a Half
Months of Prosperity.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Longmont, Colo.-The beet slicing
campaign at the Longmont factory has
opened. The campaign will be the
longest in the history of the factory,
lasting four and a half months, in
which time the sugar will be extracted
from 10000 acres of beets, the largest
acreage ever grown here. During the
long campaign more than 600 men will
be employed, and, in addition, another
$50 will be employed at the different
receiving stations.
Figuring on last years production,
little more than twelve tons to the
acres, on an average, the huge Long
mont yield this year will be $4,000
tons. The average price last year was
a trifle under Sc per ton. This year
the company will pay SO cents more
per ton, or an average of $3.50. which
will bring the grand total received by
the farmers for their beets to $4,000
600 or more.
The beet crop has spelled prosper
ity to the Longmont section for sew
eral months. The growers will share
their $2,000,000 to the extent of $780,
200 for field work alone, nearly all
of which will find its way over the
counters of the Longmont merchant.
Business men are reporting the most
prosperous times in their history.

operator Of this city, is writing book
the title Of which will be Awful
Thoughts" In which he says he has
as collaborattors, st. Paul, Robert G..
Ingersoll, Aristotle, Tom Payne and
Plato. d. E. McQuain, who resides
in the same residence with Morris,
is assisting him in receiving the mes
sages which. Morris declares, he is
commanded to give the world.
II never heard Of Aristotle" said
Morris, before he communicated
with me in the spirit world. never
could have written what have with
out his help"
Morris declares his book will brush
the mystery away from age-old prob
lens which have baffled the world
from time immemorial. He is able to
identify THE Other Mary" mentioned
by the Apostles in the New Tesla
ment, he declares.
"The world cannot hear these mes
sages now" Morris explained. They
are too tremendous to be compre-
hended."
In the silent depths of a melan-
choly pine forest of southern Alaba-
ma, Morris says, he was first advised
by his son, Raymond Morris, who
died at the. age OF three years, to
come to Huntington. McQuain con-
suits with the remarkable group OF
collaborators on the book and Morris
writes the message down.
Morris declares that he was advised
by Robert G. Ingersoll not to read
any of Ingersoll's lectures. ut will
do you no good" Morris quotes In
gersoll as having told him.

CHATTER ABOUT
STATE ECONOMY
IS RIDICULOUS
Wilson's Responsibility Greater
Than That of Governor,
Says Menqert.

Writing to the chairman OF the
Republican state committee, w. T..
Mengert, the able and brilliant edi-
tor of the Parkersburg State Journal.
one of the best and most influential
newspapers published in the state,
and which is now doing valiant SER
vice for the Republican ticket and
Judge Robinson especially, although
1t did not support him for the nomi-
nation, says:
Il believe the past experience OF
this state with the Democracy, par
ticularly in the hands it is in, has
been such as to obscure whatever
danger there may be in Republican
factionalism. In the light OF the
situation in the nation the chatter
about economy In the state is ridlcu-
lous. and cannot be accepted in good
faith.
Mr.. Wilson's responsibility for
the plunderbund at Washington is
greater than the responsibility of a
governor, for he appoints his depart
ment heads, and by the very nature
Of things, his control of Congress is
much more secure and stable than
is the control of the governor over
a legislature. Mr.. Cornwell finds it
possible, however, to produce COM
plete alibi for Mr.. Wilson, while he
condemns the Republican state ad-
ministration, and wonder how
many people he will deceive by so
palpable ruse.
Aside from this the vagaries that
thew will nroDOsp To sirhstit,ta for
what has actually been done in the
way Of economic and industrial leg
islation in this state, hardly consti-
tute an issue that will appeal to the
people"
