REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

 ''What you need Is some fresh air to blow the cobwebs Dout of your brain," told myself severely, and forthwith put on my hat and-coat. l had intended to telephone for the flowers I wished for the rooms and table, but I saw that had plenty of time to accomplish everything wished before Dicky's train was due. and decided to walk to the local greenhouse, about half a mile distant.
 revelled in the brink winter air. which had a latent suggestion Of coming spring mildness in 1t. and the daintiness and beauty of the sweet peas, daffodils and tulips which I chose from the greenhouse smoothed my ruffled feelings as g tender hand might have done.
 The ''cobwebs'' were all gone when T came. back from my walk. and I hurried through my talks with snatches of song upon my lips. The sweet peas I put in both bedrooms mine, which Diclky and were to occupy, and Dicky's studio bedroom. which was now ready-in every tiny sOpQOA0t1Al04t GOE t440 0APONSOA o~O0~s k sy tArea You m?"
 Some of the tulips with their gor- ge0ds col0rthES put in Q picturesque old copper kettle. one of my choicest possessions, which Dicky had picked up for me at an antique shop. and set 1t on low mahogahy table in the most effective place in the room.

 "Of course. KatiA,'' I said wonder ingly. k

What Can It Be That Causes Katie
 to Hide Her Troubles From. Madgo?
 The words Why not?" sounded so distinctly in my ears that l turned sharply around, half expecting to see my especial little leering devil who fs so ready with suggestions when I am in a morbid mood.
 I still held in my hand the kodak picture of Dicky and the two girls he had rescued from the mob on the night of the presidents speech at Madison Square Garden. It was 2 sportive bit of studio \pleasantry. and had felt guilty at the distinct feel- ing of resentment I had' for 1t. Then had come the thoughttof what Ddcky would say should he ,see similar picture of Dr. Petit andA myself, com- memorating the fact that. the young physician had taken care of mo on that night after Diclxy had lost me because of his rescue, of his studio friends. And then thet little mocking suggestion had soundedlin my ears.
 Tt would never do.'i I spoke posi- lively .as if to a real person.
 !" What is sauce for the gander. you know the rest" thesvoice replied.
 With a nasty movement I bundled back all the things I had, taken from Dicky's; chiffonier drawer back into II, stuck the offending little picture carelessly back into the n,4dst of the medley and, closing that drawer, opened one in which knew Ddcky kept his pajamas. I quickly emptied it and arranged 1t for tho use of our guest if he should need it, and put the contents of the drawer in a vacant corner of my own chiftonier. I fairly ran from Dicky's room to mine, and in an idiotic little panic slammed . the door n,o and locked 1t as the mock bolts and bars.
 ,x.sI ex9rcise him fairly. however. in taie next few 3minutey by. putting imhy n.y. self, through a severe mental dagel- lation. To think! I. scored myself that. becausetI had accidentally come across piece.of studio fun, even if 1t did cause me uneasiness, should dream of getting even" with Dcky,

 I was talking over the telephone yesterday with friend who has been much overworked the last few months. Her voice has hitherto shown the drag, but last night it seemed to slant up instead of down.

DARKEST RUSSIA" AT FOX's THEATER
 

E A picture that Is already creating widespread interest all over the United States. although but very re- gently released < is Darkest Russia" which, by special engagement, will head the bill at F'ox's theater today and tomorrow. It is different kind of photo-drama from the Ordinary, taking, as it does. events and condi- tions of world importance and weav- ing about them powerful play of tremendous appeal. Darkest Rus 'sia'' tells the story of an innocent Jewish violinist, Ida Barosky. played by Alice Brady, and the cruel and tyrannical treatment to which she Is subjected because of her race. Join ing the revolutionary party with her brother, after the brutal killing of her father by a drunken official of the Russian government, she wins the heart of Alexis Nazimoff, the favorite son of Russian nobleman. Circum- stances bring it about that Ida is summoned before Count Naximoff, and as a preliminary humiliation. she Is ordered to play God Save the Czar' at his reception. Her refusal is used as a pretext for sentencing her and all her friends including Count Maxi moff's son to Siberia for life. The scenes of Siberian prison life present. ed in the picture, are without parallel for vividness, naturalness and uncom- promising authenticity. No feelings are spared in uncovering for the first time to the public eye. the true and horrible condition of affairs that led up to the recent revolution. and 1t is one of the missions of Darkest Rus sia' to make America appreciate the tremendous benefit that the world will have derived by the downfall of a government that could tolerate such conditions.
 In addition to this feature will be many other shorter subjects, includ- ing a roaring comedy by the popular Musty Suffer, another one of a dif- ferent type in which the buxom Hughie Mack is the star, and the lat est edition of the Pathe News.

MARR|ES SAME
 |MANFOUR INES

Owing to a misunderstanding of the terms of the decree by which she was given a divorce from her first hus band, an Indiana woman was marrloL four times to her second husband be- fore she was convinced the marriage was legal. In June. 1916, Mrs. William Ritchie was given a limited divorce for one year. the judge hoping that in that time a reconciliation between her and Ritchie could be affected.
 Mrs. Ritchie went to Chicago from Indianapolis five months after the di VOrce was granted, however, and there married George Berry. Soon after, she was informed that her marriage was illegal because it was performed out side the state of Indiana. To legalize the marriage she and Berry were re- married in Indiana three days later.
 Ritchie recently petitioned the court for the custody of his child on the ground that his wife had remarked. While the court delayed action in this case, the term of the limited divorce expired and finding herself in q maze of legal intricaCies, Mrs. Berry again married Berry
 4 doubt still remained in her mind, however regarding her status in court, so she petitioned for a permanent di- vorce to replace the limited decree This was granted, and a few days ago she and Berry were married for the fourth time

take it's chances as will every other motor manufacturers.
 Of course the government will not wholly cut off materials from the au tomobile companies. They will have to manufacture trucks and automo- piles for the army. They are a neces- sary part of war equipment. But should the shortage become so acute that the United States required all metal available for her own and her allies war needs, then the general mo- tor market would be deprived It is not wholly absurd to surmise that the automobile you buy now or within the next few weeks may be your last un- til the end of the war. Others may not be obtainable.
 More than ever you will want an enduring car-One that has proved it can stand the service of years. More urgent than ever is the need for those who are thinking of buying cars to buy them now, because q little later they may not be able to obtain the car they want. or any car in fact
 Another manner m which war may interfere with delivery of cars before long is through the communicating of freight and express cars to haul huge quantities of supplies. At present we have even greater shortage of freight cars than ever before Troops and their effects and goods, fuel and supplies for the military service will take precedence for movement over any articles of internal trade

Have you noticed" said S. D. Lannis, Mitchell motor car man. You no longer hear much about boys leay- ing the farm?"
 "A few years ago every farmer with son grown to manhood was at his wits end to keep the boy on the farm. Young. men could not be in duced to remain in the country, and farm papers were constantly deploring the lure of the city.
 That the automobile has been re- sponsible for the change, there is not the slightest doubt. Many farmers in all sections of the country who own Mitchells, have admitted so to me,
 But while the country boy has a fondness for automobiles, he is in no sense 8 joy rider He is merely put ting his automobile to the use com mon to ninety per cent of the ma chimes sold and using it in a practical sensible way. ssMA
 Every day of the year, the farmer finds good use for his car in his farm work. Should a trip to town be nee esF4ry during the day, his automobile will not only transport him to the city and allow him to return to his WOrlN,in but little time, bue he does so
 
 which horses are used. And every one knows that no farmer keeps a surplus of horses these days.
 Were 1 to enumerate the many uses a farmer finds for an automo- bile. it might surprise the city man. In marketing his produce, placing him i in better position to assist his neighbors with their work, affording his family increased advantages, per hitting the family to come to the city to shop more frequently. and in many other ways. the farmer finds an auto mobile indispensable
 And the benefits a farmer derives from an automobile directly reach his city neighbors in many ways There has also been a marked in- crease in the purchase of better class cars by farmers recently and they are considered shrewd buyers That the Mitchell numbers among it's satisfied owners so many farmers is due to it's strength and ecohomy of operation probably more than to any other fea ture. for they are two qualities farm CTS have come to appreciate and de- mand."

SALES RECORD
 |S BROKEN BY
 OVERLAND JAR

On July reports of 1264 cars sold at retail in the United States were re ceived at the Toledo headquarters of Willys-O Overland, according to word re- ceived by H. H. Hotchkiss local man ager.
 This single days business amounted to $1,O4S,020-a new mark for Willys- Overland retail sales.
 This amount is for new cars only and does not include the money paid for freight shipments to the points of sale
 On July 3rd Willys- Overland re- celVed reports of 1104 retail sales S903 720 worth of business
 Three million one hundred and fifty thousand dollars was approximately the total of the Willys- Overland retail business in the United States for the first week in Jnly-despite the fact that there were only five working days in that week. This was a daily average of more than S625, 900.
 At this rate retail sales reported to the home office by Willys- Overland dealers in July will pass the sixteen million dollar mark anticipated by Willys- Overland officials.
 These sales were recorded in the United States alone and do not in clude Canadian nor foreign sales, which are also exceeding all previous records.
 This record, comments John N. Willys, president of Willys- Overland. Inc, lon top of the marvellous showing in June when the automobile buying public of the United States showed it's faith in the comprehensive Willvs- Overland line by purchasing S11.15O. .0OO worth of our cars, is incontroVertible evidence that the confidence of the people. which wavered at the time of our plunge into the world war. has been fully restored and is creating ab- solutely unprecedented sales conditions. In previous years automobile buying had commenced to taper off in the lat ter part of June and July. This year June proved the biggest month we have ever experienced July promises to go away beyond that mark
 Another reason which may be ascribed for these unusual sales figures IS the fact that the public is coming to realize more and more the possibilities of motor car
 We are face to face with problems that demand unique solutions. Our regulars are now in France behind Pershing. The draft is to take hundreds Of thousands more. Each man who stays behind will have to learn how to take of the work of his neighbor who has gone to the front as well as his own task
 What better means to increase ones efficiency-whether by securing a con- veyance that enables you to see twice as many people in a day, or to sell twice as much goods, or whether to more fully refresh you for the next days worlE-than the motor car"

WAR 'SDEMANDS

Evidence keeps piling up that 'busi- ness is as usual in the small cities and towns as well as in the large cities and metropolitan centers,' says G. H. Reu- ben of the KisselKar. This spring and summer is providing a record breaker for the increased number of new Kis- selKar dealers in small towns and agri- cultural districts who are increasing their sales volume every day.
 This is conclusive proof that the farmer. rancher, fruit grower and cat tle-man recognize the automobile as a necessity in their business activities in overseeing the work in field, garden and orchard, and keeping in close touch with town. In other words tying up the source of demand with the source of supply
 The patriotic activities of their wives, sisters and mothers is increased by the use of the automobile in attend ing meetings of the town guild or re lief societies enabling them to do their bit in town and still return home with out interfering with their household dt1tiac

PECKLOW CORD TELLS PROPER
 WAY T0 CLEAN

No prospective owner hesitates to ask about the proper way to take care of his car" says PeckloW Cord dis tributor of Paige cars for Phoenix and vicinity
 But he frequently overlooks the matter of providing himself with the facilities to make such care easy. If man looks after his car himself, he should see to it that his home garage is a place of order and tidiness. A clean, well ordered, well equipped gar age means longer life for the car.
 Owners frequently allow their cars to get into bad condition because the garage has bee1 allowed to run down to such an extent that to find any given article. a dozen and one other things have to be turned over or upside down. ending very often in vain search and a ruffled temper.

 There should be a few shelves around the garage on which to place oil and grease tins, hoxes for dusters, cotton waste. and the many other ac- cessories which accumulate so quickly. All boxes should have label outside giving details of their contents
