MAXWELL TEST RUN RECORD

Making the longest and hardest
run available for a public road
test and durability demonstra-
ton in Florida. stock Maxwell
touring car, leaving south Jack
sonville with four passengers at
loo o'clock the night of Tues
day, March 9th, successfully
withstood the pounding of the
376 miles between Jacksonville
and Miami in the astonishing
total elapsed running time of nine
hours and thirty-five minutes.
This record, officially observed,
gives to the Maxwell distributor
in Jacksonville, Fla, and his
driver, P. w. Gibbs, the greatest
motor car attainments so far
achieved in the state, the Miami
test having eclipsed, as a demon
stration, anything ever previous
ly accomplished by automobiles.
The car erased hours from the
swiftest train time and it lowered
the best previous motor car re-
cord, established by a Hudson
Super-Six, by approximately
three hours.
Arrivingin Miami at 8:35 We'd
nesday morning, the car was Of
fcally credited with having
negotiated the distance at the
average speed of 1874 miles an
hour. Two punctures en- route
made sum total of trouble en-
countered.
This. surprising performance,
added to a previous record at
tanned in a run from Jacksonville
to Tampa, in seven hours and
twenty-three minutes an aver
age of 37.6 miles an hour-has
impelled Florida motor enthusi-
asts to the conviction that the
sturdy Detroit product now has a
belt that bangles with scalps.

MARINES OCCUPY VIRGIN ISLANDS

Two hundred and fifteen United
States Marines from Haiti and
Santo Domingo were landed Sat-
urday in the Virgin Islands,
formerly the Danish West Indies,
to form the first United States
Garrison in this newly-acquired
island possession.
In peace or war these Soldiers
of the Sea" have ever been first
in the protection of American in
terests and property on land or
sea, even before we had an army
or navy. Having been stationed
ashore guarding American Lega-
tions abroad and the naval sta
tions in our many island posses
sions for years, the garrisoning
of the Virgin Islands is no new
duty for the Marines.

WANTED: A CLEAN TOWN

AS usual, the Woman's Club is
taking the lead in cleaning up
the town. Wonder what we
would do without this progressive
organization, especially when
pep" and push" is needed to
accomplish civic improvements.
The club has asked our citizens
to clean up around their premises
and to do so at once, so that the
visiting delegates from all parts
of the State, who will come here
to attend the Odd Fellows Con-
vention next week, will see what
a clean town looks like.
There is no doubt but that our
town will present fine appear
ance the coming week. We feel
that our citizens have sufficient
pride to get busy around their
homes and clean up front yards
and back yards and have all re-
fuse carted away. They have
always responded to a cleanup
day and we anticipate the same
action this time, and tomorrow
Saturday will be the last day.
While we are on the subject,
we might call the attention of
owners of vacant lots in town to
the fact that the same are not to
be used for dumping grounds for
all kinds of rubbish. 1t would
be splendid idea for owners of
vacant lots to get busy right now
and clear off all mesquite and
other underground, as we'll as
rubbish.
In this connection, the common
council might get busy and do
the same thing on the town lot,
corner Of First West and First
South streets.

We ARE LOYAL, FATHER WILSON

Loyalty Sunday" was OBJ,
served in Stafford and Thatcher
by rousing big meetings. There
was no doubt of the patriotism
of the citizens of Graham county
and their love for the Stars and
Stripes, and President Wilson and
Congress have received full as
surance in the resolutions adopted
at both meetings of our peoples
earnest, patriotic and loyal sup
port of their action to protect
the lives of American citizens
and American interests on land
and sea.
War with Germany has seemed
inevitable for many months on
account of its ruthless submarine
warfare and there is no doubt
that Germany's course has been
planned for war against our
country.
Congress has now fully ac-
cepted the status of belligerency
and our country will be put in a
state of defense and all our power
and resources will be exerted to
help our allies bring Germany to
to terms and end the war.
The people of the United States
are in full accord with the ex-
pressed objects of President Will
son, that we are entering war
with Germany to ''Vindicate the
principles of peace and justice
against selfish and autocratic
power"
There are no selfish ends for
our country to accomplish in this
war, it will not be fought for con-
quest or indemnities; we are en-
tering this war to make the
world safe for democracy and
preserve the principle that gov
ernments derive their just power
from the consent of the governed.
