SURPRISE IN STORE At

One of the most unique as we'll as
attractive interior arrangements to
be found in a restaurant in any city
of the Northwest will be revealed to
Olympians when The Crane Restau-

having been closed since the first of

F. r. Klumb, the proprietor, and

a pleasant surprise in store for their

wrought in the alterations and re-

will be opened for business the fore

which will undoubtedly become a
popular meeting place for local So

The big counter on the left is
shielded from the rest of the room
with a partition. Directly in front of
the entrance are two rows of tables;
along the right wall series of open
booths; and more booths beyond the
counter on the left wall. The kitch-

new range, new serving tables, and
so on. 1t, too, has been partially en-

BIG AUTO FACTORY
RUNS WITHOUT COAL
MAXWEIL.CHALM COMPANY
OPERATES PLANT WITH ITS
OWN MOTORS

The possibility of the automobile
industry assuring, overnight if nee
essary, complete independence from
any coal embargo or shortage which
might be caused by war or cal
amity, was demonstrated during
the New York automobile show, when
the Maxwell-Chalmers companies dis
played at the Commodore hotel an
industrial film which revealed the
fact that the organization is up to
any emergency which could arise to
interfere with motor car production,
the New York Herald says.
This film might be called in the
language of the drama, THE Works
Shall Not Close Down Tonight" The
scene was laid in the month of De-
cember when the federal government
not only declared an embargo on coal
but prohibited all automobile manu-
facturers who had stocks of coal from
using them.
T. j. Toner, sales director of the
MAXWELL Chalmers company, looked
over his mail on the morning the
embargo went into effect and found a
hundred or more kilograms from
MAXWELL Chalmers distributors who
were excited over the prospect of all
the big Detroit plants closing down.
Mr.. Toner held hurried conference
with w. Ledyard Mitchell, president.
Mr.. Mitchell's reply was:
Our machinery must be kept rum
ming, coal or no coal, at any cost"
And it ran.
Within "a hours the factory oper-
ating stag had hooked up every essen
tial machine in the plants either Max
we'll or Chalmers motors, mounted on
stands. To these driving wheels were
attached by belts and on the morn
ing following the clamping of the mo
COAL order the Maxwell-Chalmers
factories were running at normal pro-
duction under their own gasoline de-
veloped power.
All departments were going full
speed.
The Interesting industrial film
shown at the Commodore gave real
istic view of the details of this devel-
opment. One single motor, for ex-
ample, operated two 500-ton presses,
which stamp the fender. Two trucks,

The jackson free library although

better conditions the sales will pick

HOME AGENT IN

HAS FINE RECORD
Works Among 5000 MiSsiS-

GirIS-MiSS Smith Wins
Bread Making Contest.

OXFORD Miss, March 10. tSpll-
The good results of the efforts put
forth in Lafayette county by the pres
ent home demonstration agent are
Sapidly growing. She began her work
as director of the club work in this
county among the $500 women and
1000 girls OF age for club work en- May
10, 1919, at a salary of $50 per month,
allowed by the board of supervisors of
the county, Soon after she took charge
OF the work the increase of interest in
the club work in the county was no
ticeable and it has continued to in
crease Under her supervision and en-
couragement of club work in the county
Miss Ethel Baxter Smith, of Lafayette
county, developed into the winner OF
the championship in the bread making
contest in Mississippi.
During the year 1919, 35S women of
the county were enrolled in the diff
ferent clubs, including membership in
gardening, dairying, poultry work, bee
Keeping laundrying. sanitation, food
preservation canning, drying, etc.,
foods and cookery, sewing and care of
clothing stocking fish ponds, home
Identification, household conveniences
and labor saving devices, household &C
counts, orchards, meat curing and mar
keting.
During the months ofsJanuary and
February 1920, alone, 538 women of the
county have enrolled in these clubs
an increase of so per cent in the first
two months over the enrolment of 1919
In gardening the increase in member
ship over the 1919 enrolment has been
1870 per cent, in food and cookery 100
per cent, sanitation 534 per cent, poul-
try work, Ala per cent marketing TIA
per cent. These clubs had the largest
enrolment in 1919 also.
In 1919 only one short course In club
work was held in the county, 1t is the
I e L.. -.
fiye-one in each beat-in 1920, Also
| only one short course was held for girls,
while in 1920 she proposes to hold five
| for girls including three for Commu-
mites and two for the county at large.
The chief natural resources and in
| terests in Lafayette county lie along
| agricultural lines. Rapid strides have
| been made in the county along these
lines since the employment of the first
| farm demonstration agent.
Notwithstanding the rapid progress
| and wonderful increase of interest
shown in the home demonstration work
done in the county resulting in the de-
velopment of state championship win
| ner, the present board of supervisors, in
session here, failed to act when an in
crease in salary of 500 per month was
| asked for the home demonstration
| agent. They were also asked to allow
$3.50 to help conduct in the county five
short courses in club work-one to be
| conducted in each supervisor district
and 800 to help conduct a commu-
nifty fair, but they failed to act on this
also.
