If this space were given to the picture of a
woman, it would attract your eyes. If she were
beautiful, it would hold your attention.
But it would not give you any information
about the lady's character.
And assuming that you fell in love with
her picture, which only happens in books
would not tell you anything about the kind of
wife she would be after the honeymoon had rub
bed off some of the veneer with which her par
euts had covered her faults.
You could not tell, for instance, whether
she would be industrious or indolent, pleasant
or irritable, economical or extravagant after five
years of wifehood.
And after you met her, you could tell no
more about her than that she was beautiful
which has as many definitions as there are peo-
pie in the world-and agreeable.
Her parents would admit that she was a
wonderful help to her mother-that she was her
fathers favorite. Maybe they would even admit
that she was the apple of the family eye.
But her associates, who know more than her
parents will tell you, could give you the informa-
ton you should have. They know all her faults
and virtues, and it would not take much investi-
CATION to find out what were her possibilities in
wifehood- if you really WANTED to know.
The modern automobile is much like the
modern woman.
Suppose this space contained a handsome
picture of car whose lines you had drawn your
self. 1t would please you to LOOK at but it
would give you more knowledge of how
1t would work than the blank paper on which it
was printed.
In the privacy of your refIection-your
mind-and not for revelation in this column
YOU know how little Is your technical under
standing of automobile mechanism.
And so you would be puzzled about the /
mechanical equipment of this ideal car. You
would not know how small to build it for econ
omy and how large to build it for comfort. /
Should you select ANY car and make it
fit your ideals, or should you select a car that
LOOKS like your ideal picture? You don't |.
know. /
And one day-if you have sense enough to
wait, and investgate-you meet some one who
owns a car In which he prides. He talks about it.
= And later you meet another man who owns
a Saxon. He, too, is enthusiastic.
And bye and bye you meet the builders
the parents of the Saxon-through the local rep
resentatives. They will talk about its economy,
It's dnwavering faithfulness under all conditions
But they will not bore you with ceaseless boasts
about what the car will do. They WILL give ?
you the names of people YOU know who can '
talk inteligently from experience about the !,
Saxon. la
There are FIVE hundred Saxon owners in
who know. u
Go to the local salesrooms. Find out what :
people YOU know are Saxon owners. 1t will be "
surprising. q

What Yale Wants To Know
The Answer Is Found In The Statement OF
A Yale Resident


From week to week, from year to
year, there have been appearing in
these columns statements made by
neighbors, which we have all read with
great interest and many of us with
great profit. But what we want to
know Is, do they stand the greatest test
of all-the test of time? Here is con
elusive evidence on this point from a
Yale woman.
Mrs. Robert Heron, Mary ST., Yale,
says:-"I suffered everything from my
back. 1t was hard for me to stoop and
L couldn't stand erect for any length of
time without having sharp pains thru
my loins. My head was dizzy and
panied a great deal. Two boxes of
Doan's Kidney Pills put me in good
health.
A LASTING CURE
Over two years later Mrs. Heron
said: "Doan's Kidney Pills gave me a
permanent cure"

simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

AGRICULTURAL NOTES

c. L. Brody, st. Clair county ag.
from Delaware after an absence of
two weeks. The U. S. Government.
invited three county agents from
each state needing corn to go to
Delaware and purchase it. He
says that a very good grade o.
corn has been secured and it is
his belief that it will easily ripen
here. The corn tests on the yer
age 80 per cent and will cost about
SIS per bushel at Detroit. 1t will
be a mixture of Early Dent, Me-
dunn Early Dent and Flinty Dent.
Oorders for this corn are being
taken the County Agricultural Of
fee. Any farmer wanting some of
this corn shuld place his order
early.
The Lake Port Junior Farmers
Club with a membership of ten
boys and girls has begun its sea-
sons Matching of pure bred eggs.
Six settings of pure bred leghorr
eggs were ordered from the Mich
igan Agricultural College. These
eggs are from a two-hundred egg
strain and are furnished at $1.o0
a setting. Each member is re-
quired to hatch three settings of
pure bred eggs and raise the chicks
to maturity: A complete RECORD
of all operations must be kept.
The success of this club is largely
due to the active cooperation of
Arthur Wilson, it's local leader.
Much credit is due Mr.. G.. H.
Fowler of Goodells for the success
of the food demonstration ana
meeting held at his store last
Saturday. In the afternoon D..
large number of women of the
community availed themselves of
the opportunity to hear Miss Wal
dron's talk and demonstration on
the subject of wheat Substitutes
and her suggestions as to methods
of using barley corn flour, and oat
meal were especially we'll re-
ceived as these materials are most
plentiful just now.
The evening meeting was fairly
we'll attended in spite of the rain
and all present much enjoyed the
inspiring talk given by A. E. Stew
enson. He dwelt chiefly on the
Importance of food conservation
and made his audience feel that
each one present had a personal
responsibility in helping to win
the war.
Miss Waldron outlined the var
ious ways by which the housewife
Of America could meet the situa-
ton confronting them, and spoke
briefly again OF the use of the
substitutes. A raising vote of
thanks to Mr.. Stevenson, Miss Wal
dron and Mr.. Fowler closed the
meeting.
During the coming week Miss
Waldron is to hold demonstrations
of wheat substitutes at the Odd
Fellows Hall, Port Huron North
End on Tuesday and at the st.
Clair town hall on Wednesday. She
will also give a sugar saving dem
o~nstration at the home of Mrs. Ed.
Palmer of South Park and will
speak on the use of the substitutes
at the Union Farmers Club meet
ing in Yale on Thursday.
