The Essex Satisfaction
It Comes From the Ability Out Perform Others and in the Knowledge That is Fine Car Even Though it Not Large
That is Distinctive

One thing we can't forget in buying a: motor car is the pride of ownership.
 The automobile is pleasure vehicle and it spoils the fun to be hopelessly out rivaled. by car that is smaller and cost less to. buy.
 And for the same reason there is lot of satisfaction in having car that, though it is small and its cost is less, does out-per- form all of its class and has few rivals among the large, costlier automobiles. :"

 size of his hat, as to determine what the Essex can do merely by its type or, size and the fact that it sells for only little more than other cars whose limitations you recognize.

That Is Why You Hear
 So Much of Essex

Anyone who has ever driven much knows that the greatest delight, where speed is con cerned, comes with the ability to best rival with extra bursts of speed. It is the situa- tions which show a cars ability to out-per- form others that give greatest cause for pride. <.
 And knowing that the Essex does excell most cars, even many that are larger and that cost more, there is little wonder owners speak of it as they do.

Note the Advantages . of Such a Car

The Essex is not large car, neither is it tiny. No space is wasted. No extra weight is used. Neither passengers or driver are crowded. They have plenty of room on the seats and for their legs. The size of the Essex gives it many advantages, including moderate cost and operating economy. And think how much more convenient to drive. 1t slips through traffic that larger car can not negotiate. It can be parked in space that others can not squeeze into. It turns in short radius

Essex Quality Didn't
Just Happen

The Essex performs as it does because it is built to the highest type of car standard. Its size and price has meant no sacrifice in quality, durability or comfort.
 Every construction detail is comparable to one of the worlds most famous fine cars.
 That is why the Essex is so speedy, so ninnble and so enduring. It is why everyone knows it as an utterly different car than
Norwich bulletin., 1919-11-08
So Don't Forget This Fact

The Essex in every particular, save in price and weight, is comparable to cars that cost much more. And it possesses the further advantages in economy that comes from its lighter weight.
 Remember, 1s,O00 owners are telling of more good qualities about it than any Essex salesman can tell you. Essex owners will advise you to buy an Essex in either the five passenger touring, the sedan or the roadster models.

Farm Electric Plants in War

The strenuous demands of the war

Flax Experiments at the Agricultural
COllege-Testinp for Resistance

There are some very interesting ex-
periments being conducted at the Ag-
ricultural College this winter along a
special line which allows the worker
to determine whether sample of
FLAX seed is or is not resistant to the
wilt disease. They have found that
quite satisfactory test can be run
| to determine the approximate resist
ing power in approximately thirty
Fdays.
The Department of Botany wants to
make this work of as much value to
the farmer and growers~of the State
as possible. If citizens will be prompt
about sending in samples of seed, the
Department will undertake to put on
sufficient tests to allow anyone to
know what grade Of resistance his
seed possesses.
If you want a report Of those ex-
periments some time in late Febru-
airy or early March, send one-half
pound sample Of the flax seed to the
Pure Seed Laboratory at the earliest
date possible. Accompany this sam
pie with short letter which answers
the following questions: What var
iety or origin? How much have you
Of it for sale? Definitely state
whether you wish report on it's wilt

in the United States recommend the

TOBACCO DEALERS
TAKE INVENTORY

Every dealer in tobacco, snuff,
cigars and cigarettes should give i'm
mediate consideration to the inventory
of the stock of these articles as re-
quired by the "floor tax" provision of
the new revenue act, according to
Jack Walker, collector of internal
revenue, in a statement issued here
TODAY. "The date of inventory is
February %, 1919, and the tax is i'm
posed on stocks of tobacco, cigars,
cigarettes and snuff on hand Of
that date" said Mr.. Walker.
Mr.. Walker stated that the rates of
tax applicable to the several articles
subject to the tax will be clearly
shown on the return form that will be
mailed out within few days; but he
er,nhasized that the important thing
now is for every dealer to prepare
the necessary inventory. "The COM
mutation of the tax is entirely depend
ent on the inventory" he said, "and
the dealer who takes his stock on the
inventory date can discharge his floor
tax obligation with minimum of incon-
venience 70 himself and the govern

BETTER ROADS
FOR PULASKI
CAMPAIGN ON IN LEGISLATURE
FOR HIGHWAY ROVE
MENTS MAKING SPLENDID
ROAD SYSTEM.

The passage by the Senate recent
ly of Senator Grover T. Owens bill
organizing six highway improve
mentpdistricts in Pulaski county is of
special local interest, in that it pro-
vides among others for hard-sur-
faced road along the Fort Smith road
from Little Rock to the county line
at 1Palarm.
A bill creating an improvement dis
trict to construct a highway from
Conway to Palarm has been drafted
and placed in the hands of Represen-
tative /. M. Campbell for introduc-
ton. This will give a splendid pike
from Conway to the capital city, on
which automobile traffic will be
possible throughout the year, and will
be of immense benefit to both cities,
as well as to the territory between
them. When it is completed it is like
ly that much freight now carried by
rail will be hauled over the road on
trucks and that regular automobile
passenger service will be maintained
between the two cities.
Senator George F. Hartje stated re-
Gently that the bill incorporating the
Conway Damascus road district will
in all probability become law. The
senate has concurred in the house
amendments to the bill and it was
sent to the engrossing committee.
Senator Hartje is pushing the bill and
said he intended to take it personally
to the governor for his signature.
AS soon as the bill is signed,
Senator Hartje will introduce a new
bill annexing the Wooster Greenbrier-
Guy branch to the Conway Damascus
district. 1t is also planned to intro
ducn bills for the Conway-Mt. Vernon
and Conway-Vilonia districts. While
the legislature is nearing the end of
it's session, both Senator Hartje and
Representative Campbell believe there
is plenty of time to get the bills
through.
