A trunk checked as BAGGAGE
from Poplar Bluff to Newark was
seized by officers at Newport a
few days ago and was found to con-
tain % quarts of whiskey. The
liquor was destroyed. There is no
clue as to the identity of the owner
of the liquor.
Judge R. H. Powell, for many
years resident of Batesville, and
one time judge of the circuit in
which Sharp county was then To-
Gated, celebrated his Goth birthday
last Sunday. Judge Powell has
been residing in Fort Smith for
several years.
The Imboden Journal remarks
that while the very heavy rain that
fell a few nights ago was injurious
in some ways it was blessing to
Imboden, as it cleaned out cutters
and streets that had not received
such attention since the last over
flow more than a year ago.
Everett Duff, a 12-year-old boy
of Supply, Randolph county, was

bruised, but luckily escaped fatal
injuries.
All the Germans who compose
the German colony near Mountain
Home express their loyalty to the
United States. About $50 Germans
reside in that vicinity, and practic-

good farmers and most Of them are
very prosperous,
W. d. Jennings Of Mountain
Home was severely injured one day
last week. AS he was driving a
loaded wagon out of a barn shed

seat and a rafter. His body was
doubled up in such a manner that
serious injury was done to his back
and other portions Of his body.
Gustave Kellar, German real
estate dealer, who has been at
Mountain Home since 1905, thinks
that the German people will rise
and overthrow the kaiser within
four months, He says that the
masses In Germany do not like the
despotic rule and that Is the reason
so many have come to the United
States,
Milder weather Is causing many

W. J. Bryan has rendered his SER
vices to President Wilson in case
there is fighting with Germany. He
says that through the Red Cross he
will contribute to the comfort of
soldiers in the hospitals and through
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion assist in guarding the morals
Of the men in camp, but that he
prefers to enlist in the army as a
private. Much has been said against
|Mr. Bryan lately because of his un-
firing efforts to prevent war, but
he now offers to fight for his country
las a private. Other public men who
have been clamorine for war are
yet to hear from, now that their de-
Sire has been eratiied.

The Pocahontas Star Herald very

Hartsville, June 9.-An oversub-
scription of more than five times
Hartsville's apportiOnment of Liberty
bonds was made known tonight when
Chairman A. L. M. Virgins of the
Liberty bond committee announced
that Hartsville's total subscriptions
to date amounted to $1O3,5OO. Harts-
villc's appOrtionment, as fixed under
the federal reserve bank rules at
$4,000, less than one-sixth the
amount already subscribed.
A vigorous selling campaign,
coupled with liberal and patriotic
response by people Of all classes, made
possible this large oversubscription
Twenty-eight out of "a white employees
of one firm here subscribed to bonds
of from $50 to 5000 each and two
negro employees bought $50 bonds
each. Twenty-four operatives in one
of the local factories bought $1,000

BOARD TO KEEP IcUSTIS.


Washington, June 9.-Despite Gen
George GOethals' dismissal of f.. \,
Eustis as assistant general manager
OF the emergency fleet corporation, the
shipping board will retain him as a
consulting engineer.
Mr.. Eustis who conceived the plaa
OF building vast fleet of wooden ships
to run the German submarine block
ade. was retained by the board orig
iraliy and was assigned to assistant
to Gen. Goethals when the fleet cor
pOration was formed with the general
at it's head. Yesterday the general
dismissed him because he charged
that the corporation was not taking
advantage OF facilities for wooden
shipbuilding.
Frank Sprague, chairman of the
naval consulting boards shipping
committee, issued a statement today
saying thu. two electric concerns, the
Westinghouse and the General Elec-
trio, could furnish motive power for

necessary must be made.
"But they must follow a principle

Saxon "Six" showed 2993.925 impulses
per minute.
Or, under the same working conditions
the Saxon "Six" motor showed
nearly 9S per cent. greater continu-
ity-greater smoothness - greater
uniformity Of torque.
1T Is quickly apparent that the "less-
than-siX" motor leaves much to be
desired.
For the less the number of impulses
per minute the less smooth is the
power-flOw and the greater is the
vibration.
And vibration induces friction which,
is. as of course you know, the fierc-
est foe motor car has to face.
Now you will see just how much ad-
vantage accrues from the 90 per
cent smoother power flow of Sax
on six"

Since the early days of the automobile
industry people have been accus-
toned to class cars by price.
Rightly or wrongly. they have mainly
clung to the belief that cars OF near
ly equal cost closely compared I'm
quality, too.
1t is as true today as ever.
Save In one case. And this Is the ex-
ccptiOn that proves the rule.
Though priced at less than $1,000
Saxon "Six" has forced-actually
ompelled-people to- think of 1t In
the terms Of costly cars.
Such situation is unprecedented.
No other car we know of has ever ac-
cOmplished this feat.
Can you think Of any car i'm any 9TH
or price class whose superiority is
as distinct and pronounced as that
of Saxon "Six" among cars costing
less than $1,000?
The answer OF course Is i'm the motor
the famous Saxon six" high
speed motor.

This well-known car of less s-than-six-
cylinders previously mentioned, in
repeated trials required 80 seconds
to reach a As miles per hour speed
from stock still stand.
Under the same conditions Saxon
six" time and again duplicated
this feat in % seconds.
This shows 90 per cent faster pickup
in favor of Saxon Six"
A hill-climb test illustrates what this
smoother power-flow means in de-
veloping greater pulling power.
This less than six''-shifting gears

minutes fiat.
Saxon "Six'-without shifting gears
did it in 1 minute and seconds.
These instances are not cited as ex-
traordinary performances of Saxon
Six" Nor are you to view them as
such. For they are not.
Rather are they representative Of the
type of performance Saxon "Six"
gives.
And they picture, with fairness we be-
lieve the inherent superiority of
Saxon "Six" over any other at less
than $1,000.

Whose Quality Lifts 1t
the Level of Its Price

It's performance today is probably as
nearly perfect as has ever been at
tanned.
In high-gear work. in pulling power,
in smoothness, in hexibility, Saxon
six" gives a performance that
seems incredible in a car from the
less-than-$1. 200 class.
If you search for specific reasons for
this superiority of Saxon Six YOU
can find them most quickly through
comparison with other cars of like
price.
Consider If you will a certain car of
"less-than-siX cylinders" of similar
price and good reputation.
