WANTS 10,000 SOCKS.

Rainbow Regiment Cheer Association is asking the women of the state to knit 10,000 socks for the soldiers in the Rainbow Division. These are to be ready by June 15. The chairman of the knitting department is Mrs. C. M. Osborn. The officers of the association are as follows: President, A. M. Glossbrenner; Vice-Presdents, Samuel D. Miller, Evans Woolen and Meredith Nickelson; General Secretary, Elizabeth Barrows Fletcher; Corresponding Secretary, George L. Denny and Treasurer, Lee Bums; all of Indianapolis. It is possible the war mothers of Jasper county will take up the matter of knitting socks for the Rainbow Division at their meeting which will be- held here Saturday afternoon. Quite an amount of yam had been purchased 'by the council of defense and many of the socks made from this yam could be sent this division. It is hoped that this county will make a splendid showing in this most worthy cause in which our own boys are so vitally interested. Remember the soldiers in the Rainbow Division are now on the firing line in France and that their needs are immediate.

It is none of our businesS. But if we ever do see a man who looks like the things in the clothing advertisements, we are going to stick a pin in him and -see if he is human. We don’t know much about other breed of Mdcrobes. But we do know that if you don’t keep your mouth shut the Damphool Microbe will hop in and make you talk too- much. The old-fashioned man who used to go broke playing his own system on the races now has a son who goes broke paying a dollar day for guaranteed winners that never win. Old Methusaleh never heard of Anthrax, or sleeping porches or appendicitis, or Eugenics, or Microbes, but the blamed old ignoramus managed to keeping on living just the same. When they are engaged he likes to have her go through his pockets and ask cute little questions about the articles she finds in them. But it is k so different when they are married.

Claims Are All Right—- ■ ' > ' / '• ’■ ' .a _■ '■: j But Only Proofs Count i * j. Any maker may claim for his product all the quafitiev there ere. ThM io Ho , privilege. He ,may even think his claims are justified. You read the advertisements, so you know that makers ®o • at® not over A modest in that regard. __ ■ w " If you believe them all, they all make super-cars. In your experience, that theory doesn’t hold. Maxwell different. We never claim anything we cannot prove. As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that has not already been proved in public test and under official, observation. Maxwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sense —they are state* naents of sact —proven facts. ' <4** ■ Cannn W They are, in every case, matters of official record attested under oath. For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was made with the «jyfL ■ if •! Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials. That still remains a world’s record —the world’s record of reliability. That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor car. Among other things it still stands the world’s long distance speed record. Just consider —44. days and nights without a stop, at an average speed of 25 miles per hour! 1 < 11 And that, not by a $2,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell listing at $825. AVAcLX. lAr <sll You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in a transcontinental trip made 28 miles average over a period of five days and deven Motor Now compare those two feats —one of less than six days, the other of 44 days. You know automobiles —which was the greater test? E Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed or endurance? J , Proves you don’t need to pay more than $825 to obtain all the qualities you can desire in a motor car —if you select a Maxwell. . For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, not on a track but over rough Touring Car.. 5 sss country roads and through city traffic—average of all kinds of going. And—listen to this. s^ O|> 1275 8° certni ll were we condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great 6-rIZ Town Car 1275 feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven on a certain morning, the car An,«fce.to. b. Demk ’ would stop in front of the City Hall, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to break the Wto vbwte Ngnlat t ' seal. «Mi Mm Md Tmm Cm * ■ _l Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the motor after the 44 days and nights continuous running, she was started again and off on a ' thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers. * How is that for precision—certainty of action? That incident brought a storm y of applause from the assembled thousands. Hill climbing?—this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning—- . - A"'. especially in the West where the real hills are. The Mount Wilson record—nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation!—was taken by a stock Maxwell. Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes. r I Then —three days later —a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12-cylinder ' record by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance and such a Alllr climb —wasn’t it? So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors. , > r • jgt... 4 Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time—a stock Maxwell against ■ aay stock or special chassis. Economy —also a matter of official record. • 1 ' u . ' : ' Others may claim —Maxwell proves. 'r - ' H Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same day H averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. < H Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners—tiioumnds of them ■t. . fl driving their own Maxwells. • I or were new Maxwells —the contest was made by 1915,16, and 17 modds, D many of which had seen tens of thousands miles of service—three years’ use. __—-- r— Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions—au kinds were : ; B encountered in the various sections of the" country. II Good roads and bad —level country and mountainous regions—heat and told—- - ■ Rnwhinr and rain—asphalt and mud. | And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon! ' There’s economy for you. And under actualjaveragedriving^xxkKtioiis—not : laboratory test. ■ V ; . ■ But that isn’t all. 3 The greatest achievement of this Maxwell was in its showing of speed and M&a- . ’■ bflity and economy all in the same run. 44 days-and-nights Non-Stop run, though no thought was given to either speed or economy, it still remains* a fact of official record that the Maxwell • averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour. > know that speed costs—and that economy tests are usually made at GARAGE Q slow-speed—closed-throttle, thin-mixtme cooditiona.
