obtained the degree of elegance, comfort
and performance they wanted.
But the Essex seems to have filled the
need as we expected it would. 1t answers
the demand for moderate first cost. 1t
meets the inexpensive cost and mainte-
nance situation and, of course, it gratifies
the taste in appearance and performance.
How Everyone Talks
For the Essex
They tell their friends what they have
learned about it.
Any dealer can tell you of person after
person who has placed orders with him
as the result of a ride they have had with
some friend. As test of how it stands
in the opinion of motorists in general, or
even the man in the street, mention the
Essex anywhere you might be in such a
way as to provoke discussion of it.
The result will be interesting. You
aren't likely to hear single adverse crit
icism. But you will probably conclude
everyone is interested in selling you an
Essex.
Omaha daily bee., 1919-08-17
That is the Essex
Selling Force

1t is just what you will hear from any
group of motorists. Everyone seems bent
on telling everyone else what fine car
the Essex is.
Note the manner in which they praise
it. People Judge it in comparison with
other cars of merit that they know.
That probably explains why Essex per-
formance and quality is compared to
large, high priced automobiles.
There is no other measure by which
Essex can be described.
When will you take your ride in an
Essex?
Your enthusiasm will be just as great
as it now is with close to a million others.
Essex boosters grow daily-and thus
they swell Essex sales.

1t is a fine thing to stand in the midst
of busy belts and whirling pulleys, with
the knowledge of the governing laws in
your brain, and the quick control of
them in your right hand; but it is finer
and grander to stand where any moth
er may stand if she will, among the
living spirits which are to dominate
the wheels; bordering the laws of hu-
man agency, directing the development
of human activity, bearing the supreme
weight of human responsibility; doing
it all in utter unconsciouSness of self
or of sacrifice, strong in the wondrous
love which alone of earthly emollients
is all persuasive and all powerful
against the grind and wear and worry

One of the most contemplate tricks
in the world is listening i'm on a tele-
phone wire. TO be sure sometimes
drastic measures are necessary in or
der to get the use of the wire, but
ordinarily most people listen merely
out of curiosity and then instead of
treating the conversation they have
heard as private, they set about pub
fishing it in some such way as this;
you know, the other day l didn't
know Mrs. Jones was using the wire
but just as ! took the receiver OFF the
hook, what do you suppose | heard her
tell Mrs. Smith," etc, etc.
Now you know, my good woman, you
can't take the receiver off the hook
more than a dozen times just at the
psychological moment to hear that
juicy bit of gossip and still make peo-
pie believe it was an accident. In
speaking of you they will soon begin
TO say, "rm glad I'm not on Mrs.
Browns wire. All she does is tell me
what she hears by accident over the
telephone. Well-timed accidents, /
would say"
So beware, Mrs. Brown, wherever
the world and don't hear too much
you are (and there are a lot of you in
over your phone. You know how well
you like to have someone "lsten i'm
on you.

1t is only by doing things which APP
pear almost impossible, that we are
able to test our own powers. We will
never grow if we continue to do only
those things which are easy for us.
There are very few things in this world
within reason which everyone of us
cannot accomplish if we have the will
to do them | rather imagine that a
few years ago, had some stranger
come into our quiet little city and
told our boys what it meant to go

dangerous air battles, they might have
thought it impossible for them to do
these things. Yet they have done them,
and with credit.

Oftentimes we lavish a great deal of
sympathy upon friend or relative who
has brief period of illness, while we
are neglectful of even the comfort of
a confirmed invalid. Perhaps it is only
natural that we should become hard
ened to seeing the continued suffering
of an invalid, and yet we should not
forget that the one who is i'll never can
become hardened to the pain he en-
dures. We ought to remember this,
and try to be cheerful and patient,
bringing as much sunshine as possible
into the lives of all sufferers.

Worthwhile charity isn't so much the
giving Of material substance; it is
charitable thinking in regard to our

concerning those about us will help to

TO slanderous gossip and repeat the
tales to others we cannot help but sink
lower ourselves.

HOME CIRCLE OLUMN.

In these days of high prices we
should be careful not to live beyond
our means. A rainy day may come
when we will need little extra money,
and it is a good plan to put aside n
few cents or dollars whenever possible.
A little "skimping" won't hurt anyone,
and it is not at all necessary that we
should buy the highest priced goods in
the market A shoe dealer said recent
ly that people refused to buy the lower
priced shoes. They demand the goods
with the highest price tag, and then
complain of the high cost of living.

MORAL-DON'T BORROW

A man who was too singy to sub
scribe for his home paper sent his little
boy to borrow the copy taken by a
neghbor. In his haste the boy ran
over a 81 stand of bees and in ten min
utes looked like warty summer
squash. His father ran to his assist
ance, and failing to notice the barb
wire fence, ran into that, cutting a
hole in his anatomy and running vs.
pair of trousers. The old COW took adj
vantage of the gap in the fence and
got into the corn field and killed her
self eating green corn. Hearing a
racket, the wife ran out, upset a four
gallon churn full of cream into bas-
ket of little chickens, drowning the en-
tire hatch. In her haste she dropped q
s3b set of false teeth. The baby, hav-
ing been left alone, crawled through
the milk into the parlor, running a
brand new $25 carpet. During the ex-
citement the oldest daughter ran away
with the hired man, the dog broke up
eleven setting hens and the calves got
out and chewed the tails Of four fine
shirts on the clothes line.-Sebree

SCOTS MILLS VOTERS
DECIDE NOT TO GIVE UP
PRESENT CITY CHARTER

AT an election held yesterday in
SCOTS Mills, the voters were asked to
express their opinion on the question,
''Shall the city of Scots Mills surlend-
er it's charter and be dis.ineorporatedf'
When the votes were counted this morn
ing il was found that 10 were in favor
of giving up the charter, So were OPP
posed and voted in such way that
the votes were thrown out, making 4
total Of 81 votes cast.
Two or three years ago Scots Mills
decided 20 do some expanding and lot
of the surrounding country was taken
within the city limits. 1t seems that
while the taking was good, there was in
corpomtcd several tracts of from ten tc
90 acres until the city had enough ter
ritory within its limits to almost rival
Seattle.
But a few weeks ago some Of the far
mcrs who were incorporated thought i
WASH t right they should be tahen in tc
keep up a real ctv and secured enough
votes to cali the election. According tc
the vote, they are still farming and at
tending to their prune tracts within the
city limits Of Scots Mills with very
little prospects of getting out.

THE ZONE NEWSPAPER POSTAGE LAW.

The Corvallis Gazette Times expresses our sentiments
in replying to the Oregonians attack upon Postmaster
Burlesons zone postage rate law. This saves us the
work of writing an editorial the subject in these swell

editorial in full:
1T would be interesting to have from the Capltal
Journal or any other paper why postal charges
should begin at the county line and not at the office Oh

zines which are kicking about the system OF paying post
age under the zone law.

care of itself but as one of the country papers supposed 10

that there is no reason whatever why the place OF puDca
ton should not be designated the spot from which post
ace charges should be made Such charge would make
very little difference to the Salem Daily Journal or the

practically subsidized the magazines OF the country TO the
extent of many millions of dollars annually Careful es-
Inmates bv the postal authorities and congressional COM
mittees for instance show that the Curtis Pubnshhg
Co has been receiving gratuity from the government
amounting to S50OOOO0 year. Hundreds OF other maga

that the Oregonan can be mailed to Corvallis from Port
land? If not why shouldn't it pay the difference itself
instead Of charging it up to the government?
IF all the papers and magazines had to pay their
exact proportion of hauling cost the county rate for the
little weekes would be much lower than cent pound
that they could have objection to paying it. We have
seen it stated somewhere in the Record that papers al
ready pay the government profit for hauling within
radius of 300 miles of publication
We wish to make the correction however, that not
90 per cent but about so per cent of the Capital Journals
papers are delivered by carrier.
