Has owned four cars costing more than Paige,
but never one so delightful

their owners, regardless Of whether they
sold them. was also surprised at their
moderate charges for various odd Jobs,
for which have been accustomed to
paying more.
But to tell you more about my trip, ]
am enclosing map on which have
marked it. The roads are boulevardS
practically everywhere, except where
found repair wagons had not reached
holes made by the severe winter
weather, and some places where con-
struction was under way. But it is in
just such unfavorable road conditions
that my Paige showed one of its fine
advantages. 1t means something to me
nowthatt the Paige rear springs are more
than five feet long, and that it has l31
inches of wheelbase. ! can truthfully
say have never driven or ridden in any
car which rode more comfortably and
handled more easily on difficult roads.
There are long and fairly steep grades
in the Cumberland Mountains, White
Mountains, and the Adirondacks, all
Of which went through. / am pleased
to tell you that your claims about Paige
hill climbing in high gear are true. Ex-
cept when some sharp turn or cars
ahead in the road made slowing down
necessary, practically never dropped
into second speed. And on the down
grades, where one frequently gets going
a little too fast, can truly say the car
amazed me on the score Of ease in
changing into second. when going Is

Detroit, Michigan.
Dear Mr.. Jewett:
AS requested in your letter of June 4,
am glad to write you more about my
trip which you are at liberty to use for
advertising. Not seeking any personal
publicity, would prefer that it be pub
hshed without my name.
have always driven cars costing
considerably more than the Paige, feel
ing that the best was none too good for
the kind of touring. ] like to do. Natur-
ally, it was with some misgivings that
undertook my eastern trip in your car,
with which felt unfamiliar. Also, !
have never used an enclosed car for
touring before, and expected it to be
little weak on hill climbing, as well as
a little top-heavy on the road.
Starting without great confidence in
the car because Of its moderate price
and because Of my unfamiliarity with it,
Twas of course always looking for some
kind of trouble to develop. From that
point of view, my trip was continual
series of disappointments. ! have had
no trouble except what was due to my
own carelessness, and might have oc-
CURED to the costliest car ! could buy.
This seems good place to say that
one of the things livery much appreciate
about the Paige, is the high character
Of its representatives and their eager
ness to SEQ that all Paige cars satisfy

she died The nights were never too
dark or stormy or the road too long,
when called upon to administer to
the sick. In her home she was a
faithful wife and mother. She was
a member of the Mt Olivet M. p.
church and when health and years
would permit, was an active worker
in the church and Sabbath school,
but for a number of years had been
unable to attend on account of de-
clining years.
After the husbands death and not
being left in the lap, of luxury, she
was brought face to face with many
trials, having been left with several
minor children, but still she strove
to make and keep home. Few lives
have seen more sorrow and in this
hour, we who know, cannot express
the fortitude with which she bore it,
but, Earth has no sorrow that
Heaven cannot heal" How long it
will live in our life and minds of the
influence and generous deeds and
the ties which were formed here.
"One who shared our joys and cheer
cd when sad, the greatest friend we
ever had, Mother" Let US trust,
that these dark clouds of sorrow at
some time in the future may show
their silver lining and be looked up
on as one of the sublime pictures of
life. Farewell, mother, we shall
miss you in our home. Yours was a

Mrs. Marietta Gardner Harris

Marietta Gardner, daughter of
John and Cassandra Gardner, was
born Oct. IL. 1860, in Morgan coun-
ty, Ohio. She received a common
school education. On Sept. 19, 1887,
in ompanionship with Franklin w.
Harris, a new home was established.
For the first two and one-half years
of her welded life she took charge
of the home of her father-in-law
and mother. This act of benevo-
lence endeared her to the entire
family. She united with the Metho-
dist Protestant church, and later the
United Brethren church.
In 1908 the family came TO Wes-
terville and brought their member
ship to the United Brethren church.
They resided at Westerville ten
years, then took up their residence
on farm near McGraw, n. y,
where they had lived happily until
deaths summons came. There was
no intimation of her home-going un-
til Nov. II, when she was taken SER
iously i'll. She died Nov. "a, 1922,
at the age of 62 years.
She leaves her husband; one son,
Harry at home; four daughters, Cas-
sic, a teacher in the high school at
Kenmore, o.; Mrs. lone Nothstine of
Linden, o.; Mrs. Nancy Rickets of
Westerville, o., and Helen, at home,
and five grandchildren. She also
leaves two sisters and one brother
in Arkansas, and one brother, Har
ry, of Glouster, O. In addition to
the immediate members of the fam
lily, it is proper TO make special men
tion of the stepmother, who for SO
many years was a real mother and
insniration to the entire family.
The remains were brought from
McGraw, n. Y, to Westerville where,
Nov. %, the funeral service was
held in the United Brethren church.

or 80 miles an hour. have been accus-
toned to using the scheme of spinning
up the gears by letting in the clutch
momentarily, but found this not at
all necessary with the Paige. My wife
drove large part of the trip with great
enjoyment and without noticeable tir-
ing. She joins me in my praise of Paige
handling ease.
Idon't know whether you will be in
terested in hearing my point of view on
enclosed bodies, but can tell you am
sold on them for touring, as well as for
city work, after my experience. We
drove wowhole days with the automat-
ic windshield wiper going all the time
ON other days into dust clouds, or
cold winds in the mountains. And tho
pleasure Of being able to regulate ones
own comfort by merely turning a win
dow-handle, is one that never appre-
ciated before as did in your Paige
Brougham. Contrary tony expectations,
the car is not hot in warm weather.
Perhaps should close my letter by
saying that the Paige is far finer car
than ever imagined it to be. In fact, it
is more comfortable to ride in, and cas-
ier to handle than any higher priced
car know of. If your car were better
known for what it actually is, am SURE
far more Of them would be sold to peo-
pie who have been accustomed TO pay.

feeds on the foliage. Entomologists
of the Ohio Exp. Sta. expect at least
two broods and possibly three, dur
ing the summer, which, if not check
ed, will greatly damage or even de-
stroy many trees. The full grown
worms are about three inches in
length and this alone would renoer
them quite fearsome, but in addition
they are adorned with a formidable
appearing horn at the rear of the
body, which is commonly, though
erroneously considered poisonous.
The practice of clipping perman-
ent pasture at least once a year be-
fore the weeds produce seeds. tends
to discourage the weeds but does not
injure the pasture.
Top-dressing the pasture with
commercial fertilizers or with stable
manure, and with lime, when the
soil is acid, not only helps the grass
to crowd out the weeks, but i'm
proves pasture greatly and prolongs
the season.

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved
That being the case he can not be
too careful about unnecessary ex-
penses. Very often few cents
properly invested, like buying seeds
for his garden, will save several dol
lars outlay later on. 1t is the same
in buying Chamberlain Collie and
Diarrhoea Remedy. 1t costs but a
few cents, and bottle of it in the
house often saves a doctors bill of
several dollars.-Sold Everywhere.
