"For a very considerable time the
Essex car has been one of the most
popular American productions mar
keted in this country, and has won
an enviable name for reliability and
road performance. Good as the
four-cylinder model has proved to
be in service, however, the manu-
facturers have superseded it in ia
YOUR of a six-cylinder model. 1t
represents a very great advance in
design on the old car, and is one Of
the most interesting American We
hicles that has ever been imported
here, chiefly on account of the fact
that the engine is only just over two
litres capacity.

My Dear Friend Del:
Now that the election is over, and
about half the people are disap-
pointed in the result and they would
have been in any case; let's go to
work and make up the deficit.
| am enclosing in this, a group of
verses on subject that was popular
a few weeks ago, and which / have
read a, few times in places where it
would be allowed, but which hasn't
been published.
Would you like to have it for what
ever effect it might have on your
tiresone column?
Hope you are we'll, and as happy as
your conscience will allow you to be.
Faithfully J yours, y W
MARS OR HERE?
Thank God, l don't have to live on
Or any of the other frozen stars:
But, right here on Earth, where | feel
Under the old familiar dome.
I've been readin' lot the last few
dava
Of the kind Of a planet | see by the
rays
OF our own Sun, in that far off place
Way out in the bitter cold of space.
And I've been thinkin' the best old
earth
Is the one where arrived at birth;
Where the daily and yearly revolution
Made me creature of it's evolution.
They say that Mars is dry as bone,
And cold as hell, and mostly stone;
Where winter lasts for half our year,
And the summers are dryer than they
are here.
Where the air is thin, and cold, and
light,
And it cools off something fierce at
night;
Tho the sun may warm them some
at noon,
A man out there, would last pretty
soon.
Aw: Nix for home in a bone-dry
star,
Or anywhere else SO dog gone far
From the things I'm used to; and the
place / know,
I'm a gonna stay here till they make
me go.

Miller and together the two Flagstaff
vacatiunfsts, hell-bent on good time,
visited big garter factory, where
they make the cute holdup things for
wirnmen in all shapes and sizes.
A young woman was detailed to
show the two bashful docs through
the place. She remarked after they
had been part way through that they
made 10 million pairs of garters a
year.
"Gosh," said Doc Miller, 81 don't
see where they all go to-"
"Me neither" said Doc Mcclure.
"Well,, you've both got lot of gall
if you expect to!' said the young
woman.
Conversation languished for
