SHOW YOUR FAITH
IN AMERICA
BY Thomas r. Marshall,

By Thomas r. Marshall,
Vice President of the United States.
If we are standing in statecraft for
the same things for which the Naza-
rene stood in religion, then we ought
to be able TO CLEAN something from
the discussion of his followers. Pc
ter and Paul grew acrimonious over
the relative merits of faith and works
and the discussion ended with the
somewhat caustic statement, SHOW
me your faith without your works,
and | will show you my faith by my
works"
We have been running up the
American Flag at all the school
houses in America; we have been
rising with solemn countenances
whenever the "Star-Spangled Banner
is played, and we have proclaimed
to the world our never-ending alleg-
lance to those great principles of
democracy upon which the republic
was founded and is now supposed to
rest. Now we have reached the point
where our faith is being put to the
touchstone of our works and we are
soon 10 find out whether this love
which we profess for our institutions
our country. and our Flag, is but a
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal
or whether it is a great and vital
inspiration of individual and nation
al life.
Our young men, with 4 devotion
uneXampled in the history of the
world, are laying aside all the hopes
of future years and are going gladly
Somewhere in France" to offer, if
need be, the last drop of blood in
their veins as a free libation upon the
altar of constitutional liberty. They
cannot go half-clad, half-fed, un-
equipped or unassured that they will
be properly looked after if disabled.
We did not prepare. We thought
there was no danger. And in one
year there came upon us an outlay of
extraordinary expense. which might
have been prevented had we exercis-
ed foresight and courage, little by
little, to get ready. 1t is futile,
however. to hold post-mortems. The
past is dead and eternal past. This
war must be fought, and it must be
financed in order to be fought.
My objection to Carnegie libraries
is not directed at Carnegie nor at
Libraries; it springs from a deep
rooted feeling that we do not take
real interest in anything for which
we do not make some sacrifice.
| do not, therefore. want this war
to be financed by those who are cas-
lily able to do so financially, / want
every man. woman and child in
America. who has been waving the
Flag, singing the "Star- SpangleG
Banner" and Dragging about the
glories of democracy. to prove now
by their works that they have a gem
uine> faith in the American republic.
That proof demands of us all that we
take enough of the war obligations
of this government to make us feel
some sort of sacrifice for the cause
in which each one of us processes to
believe and does believe.

The Coming of a
GREAT ENGINE
=. rnHz. D... H.. ~.
1t Makes High POz0er Out Of L070 Grade Gas

Men who drive cars are face to face with
condition that becomes more and more
serious each day.
That condition is the constantly de-
c!ining grade of gasoline.
Nearly every engineer has said goodby
forever to high-grade gas.
For the moment and possibly for all
time, multi-cylinders, counter balanced
crankshafts, and little tricks with valves
give way in engineers discussions to the
''gas problem.
Every alert engineer is bending his
utmost to make lone drop of gas now do
the work of two.
Just as great situations produce great
men, SO out of this condition has come
great engine.
1t is Chalmers.
1t makes high power out of low grade
Compared with other engines of the
same size or thereabouts, it shows:
More bo7cer More rapid acceleration
Greater economy Greater length ofhe
Greater mo0thness
and an aanasing ability TO start quickly ON
cold day, and TO ''aOarm up" qUHhOm delay.
The Chalmers engine is simple one.
That is one reason why it is SO good.
In many engines of the moment the gas
passes on its way from the carburetor to the
cylinder through tunnel, which runs all
the way through the engine block
Before the gas gets to the cylinder it is
forced to turn many sharp angles and does
not become completely mixed with the air.
This results in raw gas running into not
only one but all the cylinders, particularly
when the car is cold, and especially when
running for the first five or ten miles.
In the case of the Chalmers engine this
type of intake manifold has been COM
pletely eliminated.

COMMUNICATION SENT
TO G. c. CARTER

The following letter was recently
mailed to G. c. Carter, member of
the Iowa Fuel committee of Audi
bon county.
We gladly publish same, as it of
much interest to the public in gen
eral.
October 9th, 1917.
G. C. Carter,
Audubon. Ia,
TO THE LOCAL IOWA FUEL COM
MITTEES:-
! 1t is hardly necessary for me to
say that we have right now a near
| fuel famine and ii will become worse
as the season advances.
1t is our duty to see that people
do not suffer. My correspondence
is so heavy that it is impossible to
carry it on except with the Chairman
of the different committees in the
several counties. l hope you will
explain this to the dealers and con-
sumers by giving this letter wide
publicity.
All complaints should be taken
up with the local committees and l
will act upon their recommendation
as promptly as possible. Dealers
should file their complaints in writ
ing, with the local committee, and
in case of shortage state exact facts
concisely, giving names of operators,
of iobbers from whom they have coal
purchased, the kind of coal and when
ordered.
| will then recommend to the Fuel
Administration at Washington that
shipments be made.
| hope the public will eyarcise ma
tience, as this is situation never
known in this country before and it
will be a physical impossiblity to
take care of all communities without
some friction.
1t is the administration desire
to apportion the available supply
fairly and equitably.
Yours very truly,
CHARLES WEBSTER.

EVIDENCE OF SUICIDE

Evidence introduced at the coro-
ner's inquest of the death of j. w.
Noel, Villisca photographer found
dead at Abba Thursday, pointed to
suicide. No testimony was given to
indicate that his death was the re-
suit of murder.
Testimony Tuesday traced Noel
from the time he left Villisca to
his discovery by a drayman. where
he lay on the depot platform at Al
bia. He left Nodaway on train No.
4 Wednesday. witnesses swore. and
stopped on the way to Abba at Cres-
ton, where he talked with Mr.. Con-
way. Noel mailed a special delivery
letter to his wife at Villsca on the
train by which he left Creston. This
letter was offered in evidence, and
showed that Mr. Noel wrote his wife
saying that bad men were after him
and instructing her how to care for
hus business in case he should be
found the injured man, the sheriff
and other officials and doctors who
cared for Noel were other witnesses.
Although it has been said at Will
isca that Mr.. Noel had received
BLACK hand" letters some days pre-
vious to his death. nothing in the
evidence mentioned the existence OF
such missives. He carried life in
surance to the amount of $4,000.

INDIAN SUMMER NOW
HERE LATEST GUESS

This is not a prediction-just a
guess. Indian summer is here.
Much has been said of this season
when the haze hangs low, the sun
looks frey when it is about time to
finish a days job. cobwebs begin to
float and the hay-fever patients be-
gin to sit up again and take notice.
1t looks like the season had arrived.
Saturday looked like a forerunner.
Sunday was warm and fine and Mon
day dawned with new touch of
warmth all of which indicated the
finest season of the year-Indian
summer. Many believe that this
ushers in a period of fine weather
that will continue for a month, which
would make Thanksgiving a pretty
fine day to live through. Everybody
interviewed on the question expressed
the hope that the season was really
here and would continue long.

Northwestern depot was robbed of
$4,000 or more on last Saturday
night. The report is supposed to
have been started by a party from

mental to a city and persons should
be careful about starting such.

A new manifold, termed 'The Rams
horn,'' has been constructed of simple pip
ing. 1t is on the exterior of the engine. 1t
is a manifold of easy curves SO that there
are no sharp corners for the raw gas to lodge
against and be pushed into the cylinders.
The next development was to give the
gas the proper amount of heat after it came
from the carburetOr.
What is termed ''hot plate" is built in
at the top of the throat of the carburetor so
that the gas coming straight up from the car
buretor hits the 'hot plate, the dimensions
of which have been worked out very scen-
tifically, and then passes around the easy
state of mixture and at the proper tempera-
ture to each of the cylinders.
The case of this Chalmers engine has
been proved.
/. On August / and 2, Joe Dawson
drove a Chalmers equipped with this same
engine 1898 miles in "a hours-faster and
farther than anyone ever before had travelled
on land, sea or air.
If there's flaw in pattern, or part,
solid day of bitter, brutal speed will find it.
?. There are over 1000 Chalmers
containing this engine now in use. They
check up past all expectations.
Therefore, the Maxwell Motor Com
pany, which has leased The Chalmers Motor
Company, has put its O. K. on this engine,
and accordingly on the Chalmers car.
90 per cent of any automobile is the
engine; and no car can be bit better than
its engine.
So you are safe in writing your check
for Chalmers.
