AS YOU travel about you will
quickly realiz^ that the
warm admiration which the
Liberty ha sen joyed is not con- <
fined to this community.
TheLiberty is one car, among two
hundred or more, which has been
singled out, everywhere, for spe
cial and -enthusiastic approval.
It is frequently spoken of as the
one car which lias made a
marked advance both in beauty
of design, and the distinctly dif
ferent, and superior way, in
which it rides and drives.

HAD IT DOWN FINE
Janitor's Wife Evidently Profound
Philosopher*
I Allowed No Dlff?r?ncM of Opinion to
Mar Her Hj|u>py Married Ulfo?
Some May Say She "Hu?
mored the ftrute."
"Excuse tue, Mi 8. Ulmkln, but If
there's any cool feeling between you
and Mr. Dlinkln It haw nothing to do
w||h tue and I can do nothing but
, wish you to patch up your troubles
and be happy once axaln." , The Jan
itor's wife put down her mop as she
spoke and stood with arms akimbo.
"But there la no qpftrrel," replied
Mrs. Dhukln. tearfully. "Really ! Just
a difference of oplnlou, so to speak."
* ^That's oue thi i ik people shouldn't
have, especially married ones, this
here difference of opinion," remarked
the Janitor's wife. "The difference la
In danger of getting worse until final
ly It's a break.
"If a mau wants to go to the ball
game he should tie let go. A woman
shouldn't be always begging to go
along. Baseball Is a man's game and
a woman'* fad. No woman really
Itkes baseball ? she only pretends It ao
her husband will take her along.
"When Oswald, my husband, asks
to go by the game I dou't pester hlin
to be on the next bleacher seat. I
have better seutso. If I get the habit
of going to the ball game with him
how do I know but what he mny start
asking me to tnke hltn by my knlttiug
j dub? Not for me 1
J "Maybe what you say, a difference
j of opinion, comes about cooking,
i What a man should eat lots of times
I causes trouble. If he hasn't got the
same food ideas as his wife she should
have the same as him. I don't like
finnan huddle ? I hafe It ? but Oswald
Is more finnan huddle (bait a finnan
1 haddie itself.
j "Then what do 1 do to save argu
j ments? Why, when he says we will
j have finikin haddie for- breakfast, or
j for dinner, I say: 'Oh, Oswald, how
i glad I am you mentioned that deli
cate food! I'm dying for a portion!'
"I like different tnlklng-mnehlne
music than \V.iat he likes, but he xlon't
know it. He never knows that when
a bagpipe solo is on the machine 1
feel like jumping olY the roof dr some
thing. He never guesses that a yodel
makes me so sentimental I feel I fot
to mop my eyes Instead of the floor.
"He wears n silk hat that Mr. Sim
mons gnve him four years ago, and it
makes him look like old Cap. Street
er, but be thinks he looks like some
one he saw in the movies ? a feller
called Bushman, I think ? and I let
him go on thinking it.
"Would you advise ine to : start
something nnd then we'd be like- you
and your husband is ? have already a
difference <if opinion? No, Mrs. Dim
kin. We are one happy couple and'
we're going to stl(*k that way. Maybe
it's my fault, but I'm satisfied and so
Is Oswald* I think." ? Chicago News.
Airman's Coveted Title.
Henry Farre In his "Sky Fighters
of France" gives a full explanation of
the way in which the airman's most
coveted title, "Ace," came Into gen
eral use. He says, "When a pilot has
brought down his fifth plune, the chief
of the squadron telegraphs his fifth
victory to headquarters, und that gives
him the right to be carried In the next
''general orders to the.wjiole army with
a citation of service rendered, for the
preds to publish the following day in
the Official Gazette. Whenever pilofs
merited this distinction, their machin
ists called them aces, wblcin has the
same significance among tfce pilots as
the ace card has In a game of cards;
that Is to say, the strongest card, and
this is the etymology of the word 'ace,'
of wnlch many persons are Ignorant.
Thlt title has nothing official, and It
sprung from the slang of the machin
ists, but that does not prevent it from
being quoted In all languages and In
every country In the world."
Mile* of Poison for Beatles.
The Japanese beetle, that not only
destroys flowering plants, and especial
ly roses, but also attacks orchard trees,
has recently becorfle so prevalent In
New Jersey that the federal govern
ment has begun a warfare against It.
Miles and miles of 'poison are used,
and trenches dug to keep the beetles
from escaping the sections treated. Al
ready bushels of dea>d beetles are be
ing collected, and It Is hoped that they
can all be destroyed so that they won't
Infest other^parts of the country.
The department of agriculture works
hard to keep out the "undesirable
alien" among Insects of all kinds, but
as In the case of the Japanese beetle,
one or two occasionally smuggle them
selves in as stow-aways on plants or
fruits, and then escape to work against
the country they have adopted. ? Phila

Wlien a cotton shortage was threat

Maxwell is but another natne
for Quality
THE goodness, the
efficiency, the qual
ity . in previous Max
wells created a demand
for the current Maxwell
which 100,000 cars (the
number now being built)
cannot satisfy.
This shows a rare liking
for Maxwell; and the appre
ciation that every dollar de
voted to its manufacture has
been wisely expended.
Think what the making of
100,000 axles means, the mak
ing of 100,000 frames, 100,000
engines, 100,000 clutches, and
100,000 transmissions.
Think of the great saving
that comes with the purchase
of so many materia^
Consider the accuracy that
follows a$ one after another of
100,000. axles is con
structed.
Consider the vast use
of capital it requires
to turn them out ? 300
a day.
Estimate the confidence the
Maxwell executives had in
the Post-War model to rest
the future of the Maxwell
name on a year's production
like 100,000.
They knew; 300,000 previ
ous Maxwells had told them;
the public was their judge.
You can look for. high
engine efficiency, or merely
comfort, or long mileage on
gas and tires, or improve
ments the war developed, or
style, or value ? you'll find it
in the Post-War Maxwell.

Wo bog to call your-* attention to the constantly increasing cost of labor and ma
terials, and the consequent increase in the value aof buildings, machinery, merchan
dise and household effects, and would recommend that you look over your insurance
with this in view, and advise us how much additional insurance you require.
As you know, the cost to construct a buildling today is from 35 to 100 per cent
more than it was five years ago? and even taking into consideration depreciation, the
replacement value, which is the adjustment basis in case of a fire, is greater than the
cost of the building a few years ago. Machinery, merchandise and household effects
have also increased in like proportion.
