Two Maxwell cars recently driven a
otal OF 10000 miles at an expense of
only so cents for repairs just naturally
make the most liberal of men enthusi-
astic over the economy of Maxwells.
One Maxwell was driven 4,40O miles
without one cent being spent for re-
pairs. The other Maxwell covered5, /
OSS miles and required repairs amount
ing to so cents.
Ten Black, Of Wenatchee, Wash,

Trouble only once wes experienced.
That was on top of the mountains
where snowstorm caught the party.
1t was found necessary to requisition
a team Of mules to pull the heavy

A truss rod costing 35 cents was
purchased. The remaining portion of

THE COUNTY FARM
A WISE INVESTMENT
HAS MORE THAN PAID FOR PRO-
PERTY THE FIRST YEAR.


| For a farming record Warden T. c.
| Cox presents for the county farm a
most substantial showing.
That the county commissioners
made most excellent and wise invest
ment in purchasing the county farm,
and that when it comes to farming
Warden Cox displays the equally fine
ability that he does in constructing
roads for the county is substantiate'i
by figures to show that the county
farm has far more than paid for itself.
Throughout the year and at the pre-
ent time the county farm presents !,
scene of activity. This is cane grind
ing and syrup making time on the
farm and the results will show more
than a thousand gallons. Warden
Cox had about three acres in sugar
cane
The yield was fine. At the present
price of syrup there is 900 gallons at
81 per gallon-$1 900.
This year fifty two head of hogs
have been raised on the farm for meat
purposes. They have been butchere
and the meat cured At present prices
the hogs would have sold easily on an
average of $12 each. There's 1924.
All OF theestimates of the farm pro-
ducts are made on tn mos conserve
tive basis.
From four acres planted in corn the
yield was approximately 600 bushels,
and at 81 per bushel amounts to 5000.
From these acres planted in sweet
potatoes 1900 bushels have been gath
cred. About one acre was left ungath-
cred TO the hogs to feed on. The pc.
tatoes would bring on the market so
per bushel or more, making a total of
1850 at csc per bushel, besides those
left for the hogs. -.
Twenty-Five acres were planted in
peanuts and the yield from this crop
was excellent The vegetables from
the farms garden would have brought
Considerably over $780, Heavy guam
titles of hay were also grown, and at
last 5000 worth of velvet beans were
grown a ktfsSFs gA8
There are fifteen head of snlendid
Stock hogs and i've good sniltfi- cows
now on the farm
The hogs were fed altogether from
the products of the farm.
The county farm contains about 100
acres and cost $2,80r, so it can be
easily seen that the statement as to
the farm paying for itself tn first
year is not exaggerated.
The cost of working tn farm was
very normal, since convicts unri ID 60
the heavier work on theroads were
used for this purpose

GERMAN FRENUH NAVAL
BATTLE ON SMALL LAKE
FIGHT FOR MASTERY OF SMALL
ALBANIAN LAKE is
IMMINENT.

Koritza, Albania, Oct. 81
(Staff Correspondent Of the Associ-
ated Press.)-A naval battle between
French and German warsEips is i'm.
minent, which when it occurs, will not
be recorded in any official com.
nuniQue, thought it will be in a way
one sof the most unique naval engage
ments of the war.
Lake Cchrida is large body OF
fresh water lying few miles norh
Of here, at the point where Albania,
Serbia and Macedonia touch. It is
40 miles long and 20 miles cross,
with towering mountains running
around t. The north end of the lake
is he'd by the Germans. and the south
end by the Entente Allies. It has
been tn scene of the latest hard
fighting, when the Entente troops
from Pagrodak,, at the south end, to
Padahoja far up toward the north
end.
With the Germans holding the
north end of the line, they did not
confine their operaazons to the land.
A miniature fiotilla soon made it's APP
about Is feet long, each mounting
one gun forward This mosquito
fleet soon became real menace, for
it darted to the south end of the
lake, at night and bombed the small
villages along the south shore, held
by the French, Russians and Serbs.
The headquarters of General Tarna-
hoff, of the Russian division operat-
ing with General Sarrail, was in one
ing with General Sarrail, was in one
of these Villages.
The French soon took steps to
couteract this menace. A small
steel craft. thirty feet long, was
brought overland from the French
fleet at Saloniki. This mounted two
guns, one forward and one aft. With
it came a commander and a crew of
French sailors. This was soon fol
lowed by second 30-foot boat
mounting two guns, with it's equip
mont of officers and crew.
Thus two miniture fleets find
themselves face to face On Lake
Ochrida, with a battle not far off.
The French have the advantage OF
APPS carrying more guns, but
the Germans have the advantage in
number of rraft, their flotilla con-
listing of six or seven 15-foot boats
mounting one gun each. l 2
1t seemed strange as we went along
a mountain road today, to see the
uniforms Of Freuh officers and sail
ors al a point so remote from the
sea. They were in canton on the
way to their naval base at the south
end of the Jake: The commander
Lieutenant Dutoit, stopped for mo-
mnt and spoke enthusiastically of
his little fleet
"In bringing the boats from Sa'
loniki," he said, 1--WE took out the
engines, SO that the hulls weighed
only three tons. This made reason
ably easy going on the camions.
There was no misha, the first boat
is launched, with her engine in place
ard guns mounted, and the second
will soon follow And then" he
added with laugh, well see who
will do the bombarding"
When operations will begin is not
certain, but plans are so far ad-
vanced that fight is looked for al
most any time. With such mos,
quito craft it might be considered a
toy hattie ii it were not for the
reality Of The warfare, with req!

as on the deck of 2O,OOO-ton dread
naughts.

ALL BABIES LOOKED
ALIKE IN "BABY MINE"

The three babies who play such inn
portant parts in Margaret Mayo'5
farce, Baby Nine in which Madgc
Kennedy makes her debut as screen
star for Goldwyn, caused Hugo BALM,
who directed the picture, no small
trouble
The three babies are presented sin
ely, as twins, and finally as triplets,
OF an admiring but deceived father.
The babies were requisitionsd from
the neighborhood Of the Goldwyn
studios at Fort Lee, New jersey.
Their mothers had no difficulty in
identifying them, but all babies look
alike to Mr.. BALM, and he found him
self getting the lot all mixed up.
Finally he solved the situation by
marking the babies with a different
aolored shawl for each. These shawl5
were not called for in Miss Mayo's
manuscript, but they played a useful
part in the photographing of the pro-
duction. "Paby Mine" comes to the
Opera House Tuesday, Nov goth.

With widows and maids not few,
I haven't been kissed since the
morning you left,
But. dearie, how is it with you?
