A Statement of Plain Facts
of the Liberty Motor Car

The best kind of backing any owner can have
from the manufacturing company is a that
goes out, gives satisfaction, and makes repeat
sales by its performance.
This isn't just accident. A remarkable car re-
suits when some OF the most experienced men in
the business get together, bearing in mind the
owners interests always to build car which shall
give the best service for five or less passengers.
You can expect something different in the
Liberty Cart is different. The car itself is the
best proof of this.
1t is car with many features never before
offered-strong selling features. When you show
motorist clutch he depress with finger
but which engages at ton pressure, you have some
thing to sell. When you shift your gears from
third to second at full speed, you demonstrate
ing instead of arguing. When you throw an emer-
gency brake with pull OF one finger and stop the
car in its length, you proving safety-not just
talking it.
With your family or friends in the comfort
able back seat driving straight ahead over car
tracks and ruts in perfect comfort you are proving
riding ease, not just talking it. These and many
other owner interest features mark the Liberty

She follows each congressman's change of opinion on the suffrage question; she sees to it that the record of 531 members of congress are kept so up to date that anyone can consult these records and find how their congress man is standing on the question.
 Miss Martin is coming to Phoenix as a woman voter from Nevada, where she is affectionately known as Little Governor Anne" She was at one time professor of history at the University of Nevada, and holds degrees from the University of Nevada ana Leland Stan ford university She also studied po- litical economy at Oxford, England. While in England she became inter ested in the suffrage movement, and upon her return home she resolved to give up her splendid career as a stu dent, and devote herself to the fight for political liberty for all American women. She has charge of the Ne vada campaign in 1914, and cam paigned in the mountain and mining districts on horseback, in order to reach the voters who could not be reached by automobile or train. After the suffrage victory in her own state, Miss Martin came to Washington, D. C., to work for the federal suffrage amendment, because she believes that the principle of political liberty is too big to be confined in state borders.
 Just as congressman are out in the states interpreting the draft law, the revenue bill, the trading with the enc my act, and the new Liberty Loan and other phases of the fight for democracy abroad Miss Martin comes to Phoenix in much the same spirit to interpret the senate report on the national suf- frage amendment, the formation of the new house committee on suffrage, and other phases of Women's battle for democracy at home.
 Miss Martin spoke Derore the Ma tional Republican convention in Chi cago last June, and also before the National Democratic convention at St. Louis. She is said by politicians to know more about congress than is good for one woman to know. She has no time for sentimentalities when speak ing, but tells facts with a little twist of Irish fun and human understanding that give her audiences new apprecia- tion of the way laws are made, and the struggle of American women for representation in their own govern ment.
 All forward looking men and women are urged to hear Miss Martin on Thursday night

4. ]. M 'CLATCH|E !
 GREW EGYPTIAN. COTTON IN 1901

In a recent letter to Dwight B. Heard, who, since the beginning of the industry, has been keenly interested in the development of Egyptian cot- ton, Prof. R. H. Forbes of the Univer- sity of Arizona, in referring to the early history of the development of Egyptian cotton in the Salt River val ley brings out the interesting fact that Prof. A. J. McClatchie, at that time connected with the University of Arizona, conducted some interesting planting and irrigation experiments Of Egyptian cotton in 1901, which was referred to at that time in the bulletin of the experiment stations.
 Prof. McClatchie had this small crop of Salt River Valley cotton ginned by Dr. Stubbs at Audubon Park, Louisi- ana, and obtained yields of seed cotton as follows:
 Abbassi 1850 lbs. per acre Jannovich -......... 300 lbs. per acre Mit-afifi .......1150 lbs. per acre
 He also had spinning tests made at Lowell, Massachusetts, in one of the cotton mills there; and ceased work in 1902 only because he had no means for growing the cotton on a large scale. He did. however, demonstrate yields both of seed cotton and of line and secured spinning tests which proved the good quality of the product.
 Prof. McClatchie was man who dio much very valuable pioneering work in the early days of the Salt River val lev and it will be matter or pleasant remembrance tc his friends to 1eSi that he nal a part in ,he development If the movernenr for gI towing Egyptian cotton in the Salt River valley.

 The livestock situation is a "ticklish" che in Apache county :his year. The rain of last summer was meager and vely spotted, so that feed for wintering cattle and sheep is short.

 B|C CONFERENCE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Nov. 17.-In expressing qualification over the successful discus sion between the British officials and the members of the American mission to the inter allied conference. the Times this morning says it is intended next week to gather up the threads of departmental discussion in joint con- ference at No. 10 Downing street.
 This means, presumably, that chosen representatives of Great Britain and America will meet at last for A common purpose in the very room and around the very table where once a British prime minister decided to defy the American colonies and another consented to recognize their independ- ence,' the newspaper observes. No circumstances could so completely atone for the misunderstanding of a century and half as these
 The work of the American mission to the inter r-allied conference is prov ing most satisfactory from both the American and the British standpoint. The conferences of the experts have resulted in an exchange of much more information concerning the resources and needs of the allies and the Amer ican ability to aid, than has been ob- tainable heretofore.
 Colonel House tonight substantially stated the foregoing opinion to the American correspondents. He indicated his belief that the results of the mis- sion's labors will prove invaluable in bringing about a coordination of ef- fort
 The experts among the members of the mission have made a strong inn pression on the British officials.
 They are discussing both sides and have laid all their cards on the table, said one member of the government and we are working together with the greatest harmony"

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels, prin- cipal speaker tonight at the dinner of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, predicted that ships would win the war.
 When Secretary McAdoo tells you that money will win the war;" the sec- retary said, you oversubscrtbe the Liberty loan. When Mir. Hoover asks you to conserve, you have meatless and wheatless days. And Mir. Willard of tha transportation board tells you the railroads will win the war I am glad that all of these men magnify their work, for it is just this spirit that Is necessary to overcome our great prob- lens.
 But I will tell you what will win this war It is ships which will win this war;
 Naval attaches of the entente allies and a large number of American naval officers all in uniform, gave brilliant setting to the banquet. A toast to the president, followed by three cheers and the singing of The Star Spangled Ban her developed into patriotic demon stration lasting several minutes.
 Lieutenant Commander Stevenson Taylor president of the society, said 1t would be impossible to toast all the al- lies but he would epitomize them with ito la Belle France" The diners then sang the Marseillaise.
 Secretary Daniels declared there is no compensation in war;" and that liberty hung in the balance"
 The price of this liberty and of this government and of every democratic government" he added hangs upon your sacrifice and upon my sacrifice, and we must put everything we pos sess upon the altar. Are you ready to do it?''
 Cries of i've are" rang through the large ball room of the hotel and every man persent stood and cheered.

before. Much more wheat is being produced than for twenty years past, though the yield per acre is small be- cause of the rainy season failing in so many parts of the country.
 An immense amount of railroad land has been purchased by local people during the last three years. They have also purchased and leased immense tracts from the state and government. Homesteaders have been filing on land almost every day. More land has passed into the hands of local people during the last three years than in the previous 40 years of the county's his tory. Big pastures are becoming con- mon now, and much of the unfenced land is private property. The year 1917 sees the open range almost a thing of the past.

Rotarian President Joseph A. Nc
Nance has been a potent force in
making Rotary a permanent factor in
Atlantic City life. He was the first
president of the Atlantic City club
and is serving his second consecutive
term. Mr.. McNamee's amiable per-
~sonality and efficient enthusiasm, COM
bined with his spirit of sacrifice, are
the elements that have contributed to
gain for Rotary an abiding place in
Atlantic City. Mr.. McNamee was re-
elected last year without a dissenting
vote. This was an eloquent tribute
of recognition of his services to Ro-
tary. The Rotarian President was
born in Philadelphia, and came to At
lantic City in 1892, from Pittsburgh,
to serve in the local office of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. Three
years later he was elected secretary
of the newly-organized Atlantic Coast
Building and Loan Association. Mr..
McNamee resigned his position with
the railroad company in 1902 to ac-
cept the position of secretary-treasur-
err of the Marine Trust Company. He
was one of the organizers of the Vent
nor City National Bank. In January,
1915, he was elected vice-president and
director of the Marine Trust Company
and president of the South Jersey Fl
nance and Title Company. During the
municipal campaign of last year, Mr..
McNamee vas chairman of the Anti
Riddle Campaign Committee, and
when the newly elected City Commits
sion had been indicted into office he
trync mr. ~f 81 G,,r% -N.N~~- -
designated for the office of City Clerk.
Mr.. McNamee is one of the most re-
spected citizens of Atlantic City. The
Rotarian President is a Past Grand
knight of Atlantic City Council,
Knights of Columbus, Past Exalted
Ruler of Atlantic City Lodge, Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks, a
former President of tie Chamber of
Commerce, and was recently appoint

Another Big Selznick Success, Special
Attraction At the Strand Theatre
Next Wednesday.

"Panthea", another one of the Lewis
J. Selznick film corporation successes
in 7 big acts, will be the attraction at
the Strand Theatre next Wednesday.
This first production of Norma Tai
madge under her own banner, comes
forth with a big dramatic flourish.
There is an N. T. designed on every
subtitle and the brilliant star herself
celebrates the occasion by wearing a
wedding ring. The adaptation of
Monckton Hoffe's play teens with dra-
matte episodes that send the shivers
chasing swiftly up and down the spin
al column. Panthea sells her body to
ing are pictured wildly. The sensi-
tive ones may even be shocked. How
ever, the whole thing is strength per-
sonified, and Miss Talmadge's splendid
performance and the excellent manner
in which the story has been treated
lays a convincing force yer the pic
ture, even though leaving little to the
imagination. Mr.. Hoffe's play was
written before the Wal, for the princi-
pals of the story journey from Russia
to England and to Paris without much
interference. But in aiming at a
comedy touch the adapter has intro
duced a minor English character as
too tall for the trenches.
Miss ~Talmadge's performance de-
serves the highest praise. AS the wo-
man who stoops to such extreme mea-
sures to save her husband as Panthea
does, the star makes every scene con-
vincing-that is, to the mind of a
mere male. Such truly warranted and
realistic emotional work as Miss Tai
madge does is all too rare.
The production was in charge of
Alan Divan. Those who are familiar
with his work of the past may look
forward to seeing the same sort of
highly polished picture. Practically
all of his enc are arranged with a
strong light in the center with hardly
any on the borders. Thus is the &C
ton centralized to a great degree and
the point of each scene made clear,
direct and easy to grasp. And in
"Panthea" there is a point to every
scene. A fine cast was assembled to
support the star.
Roger Lytton as the chief heavy,
and George Fawcett and Murdoch
MacQuarrie as less prominent, by no
less villainous villains, are all excel
lent. Earl Fox as husband is a little
too youthful at times, but plays the
role of the weak willed fellow on
vincingly. Eric Won Stroheim, Nor
bert Wicki, William Arlington, Wini-
fred Harris, Ieleen Peisey, Stafford
Windsor. Dick Rosson and Frank Cur
rier are others.

DIR. HARLEY DEFENDANT
IN LARGE DAMAGE SUIT.

Suit to recover $4,000 damages
from DR.. Halvor L. Harley and Miss
Emma Thompson, a trained nurse, has
been filed in the Supreme Court by S.
Cameron Hinkle, counsel for Henry
Prantl, a Bargaintown farmer, whose
19-year-old son died on Jan. 8 of last
year under peculiar circumstances.
Prantl and his neighbors were
wrought up just prior to the boys
death by the appearance in the sky
of what they said resembled a clam
ing hand" which fell in a field nearby
and was afterward exhibited at a
Boardwalk amusement place. They
contended that the object was sent
from the heavens as a warning of the
boys death.
The state of demand in the suit
against DR.. Harley sets forth that
Rudolf Prantl, over whose death the
suit is brought, was six feet in height
at the time he was taken i'll, weighed
nearly 200 pounds, and was of rugged
constitution. DR.. Harley was called
and suggested that a nurse be en-
ployed, despite the objections of the
youths parents. 1t is alleged that
DR.. Harley tried to prevent other
physicians from visiting the youth
and that death occurred eight days
after he was stricken.

SEEKING NORMAL SCHOOL.
From Atlantic City Union.

From Atlantic City Union.
Pleasantville is in earnest in re-
gard to its desire to have the pro-
posed State Normal School located
within its confines. 1t offers oppor-
tunities such as no other location pos
sesses. 1t has a splendid system of
transportation and all the accommo-
dations it needs here in Atlantic City,
and if called for, there is enough en-
terprise in Pleasantville to provide
there what quarters would be demand
ed by students. In addition it is To-
Gated in the pine and ocean air belt.
This would insure health. There is
no reason why Pleasantville should
not be recognized. The Union is for
the location of the school in Pleas
antyille.
