I dreamed last night thnt Theod&rc Said, "Go in Bill, n'ml win ', "If vWre a better man than I "I'll .stand the gaff arid Rrin. I also dreamed that Bill replied, "Not so, dear Ted, 'tis I "Who should retire in answer to "The growing public cry." Then William drew a bowio knife And Ted displayed a rim, "We'll argue this thing out," said Ted "And the best man will run." Isn't it about time someone started selling town lots tit the s-outh pole? Tmic Fragnnzn was married the other day. It is to be hoped Mr. Trixie Fraganzn will be happy. We have hoard of hanging juries but this Virginia ease is the first on record of shooting them. Alameda has a "Don't Get Thin" club. It's n good bet that the Land ladies' union are bucking it. ARIZONA S0L0NS TO MEET MONDAY PHOENIX, Ariz., March 15.

SUGAR BILL PASSES HOUSE WITH AID OF REPUBLICANS WASHINGTON, March 1C -The democratic freo sugar bill passed tho house today, 108 to 103. Its pass age was helped by twenty-four re publican votes, although this was offset by tho disaffection of seven democratic against the bill by mem bers of Louisiana und Colorado. At the last moment Martin of Colorado blocked tho nttompt to fix the plans for consideration of tho exclso tax bill which, through tho taxation of lncomas, oxpoctod to mako up tho revonuo lost by tho free sugar meas ures. Republicans who supported tho bill Included La Follotto and War burton of Washington, Lafferty of Oregon and Kent of California. PASADENA, Onl.-IIonry W. Wil korson, a well todo retired merchant, formerly of Columbus, Nebraska, who has been a patient at a snnitar iiuii hen", wniidored away last night and oommitled suicide in an alloy near thu Bouthorn Pacific tracks. Ho shot four times before he succeeded in killing himself with a bullet in bU temple, WONDERS. UK ATOM, only n little while ni?o, wns the r.iml nnal vsis of si'ietu't'. Then radium eanie (discovered, with T her huslmnd, by n woman to whom membership in the French academy has been refused), aiid science had to change its whole idea of the constitution of the universe. The atomic theory, on which we were all brought up, had to go. Centers of electric force now serve as the hypoth esis in which the. ulUmtvte mystery is dressed. Science travels fast, and -with every great discovery some former conclusions are thrown to the sera) heap. !Xew suns are discovered by the thousand, and our world grows rela tively smaller. Meantime, upon it, we fly: we force ma chinery to sow and reap and hear our burdens: we send messages in, seconds around the earth: we telegraph with out wires: we hear the human voice a thousand miles away; we make Caruso sing at one moment in the farm houses of Fowa and the palaces of Fifth avenue. AVith all this there are things we cannot do. We cannot make a play like "Hamlet" or a building like the Paris Xot re Dame; or a painting like the Madrid "Weavers": or a statue like those upon the Parthenen: or music like the symphonies of Beethoven. Man forges new weapons, dis cover new secrets, and improves the conditions of his life, but genius conies only when it will, and rarely. WHAT TO TELL SO PERSISTANT is the anvil chorus resounding in other sections of this state regarding Medford and the Rogue river valley, dinned daily into the ears of colonists hehded this way, that The Mail Tribune called upon President William M. Colvig of the Commercial club to prepare a brief statement of facts regarding this local it v. We suggested "What to tell vour friends when you write." In another column this article is published. It is brief and very much to the point. Cut it out, slip it, in an envelope when next you write and send it to your friends. Then thev may buv their tickets direct to Med- ford and escape the hammer of the knocker. The article is valuable inasmuch as it states brieflv the truth.

Wf-O. LEEVKR. How to Judge Motor Car Values (Continued from Ihhiic of .March !.) FAIR PRICK Prlco should not bo tbo first o,on slderatlon In buying a car. Yon should not go Into tho motor market flying. "I am going to pay hiicIi and such u price fur a car." Go saying, "i demand certain things (the big factors outlined above). I demand a certain flsed standard of iutill(y." When you have round tho quality ou demand, then consider (he price. Common noiino dlrtntes that you pur chaso that quality at as low a piico as you can x"t It. Hut "prlo buy ing" Is a uilHtake In the bulug of a i ttui.r car as In buying uiiwt other tUlnux. Ilclow a certain price It Is ii.i'nMlblo to put Into a car the duality which experienced and exact ing buyers require. Above a certain price It Is difficult to add enough tiddltlonnl quality lo Justify Iho higher price. Chnlmorn cars are not IiIkIi pi iced cars. They have nlwaya boon offered for talc primarily on thlr quality rather than on their mice, mul we Ibellovo that no other cars offer quite uf much value or the km me prices or lO'M'l. Y ! will fu-d It hard to buy more qua!ll an prices harder nIIII lo btiv tqiisl quality at the sumo prices. Chaiu-M- prlrm are fair prices. Wo ask you fliMt to compare Chalmers enrs with others, using the standnrdH. wo have named then compare the prices. Take the Chalmers "Thirty-six." for Instance see If you can find any otbor car with a motor of thin size, wph a four speed transmission, self starter, demountable rims, Ilnsch dual Ignition, 3i!xl Inch tit cm nnd all the other big features of this car for $2100 f. o. b. Medford. iiki.pinc; voi; choose wisely Wo believe an automobile catalog should bo written, not with the solo object of selling a particular mako of car, but with the broader aim of helping Intending purchasers arrive at Intelligent decisions as to how best to Invest their money In cars. This catalog bus been prepared with thnt Idoa In mind. For tho reason we have outlined tho "standards for ' Judging a car" tho things that we j with our knowledge would have over, In mind If wo were going into the market to select n car for our per sonal use. Chalmers cars aro built for the peoplo who buy and use them, not to satisfy the whims of some one at tho factory. Wo want to sell cars -must sell lots of them each year to do business profitably at our prices. We have found that our best chance to sell large numbers of them lies lu building cars which fit tbo needs of large numbers of peoplo as regards power, flexibility of control, comfort, convenience, -safety, reliability, good looks, the quality of wear and fair price. We have boon nimble to find auy braud of salesmanship equal to qual ity and suitability lu tbo goods or any sort of advertising ouo half so effective as tho good words spoken hy thoHO who rocognlzo the merits of Chnlmern cars. NAME .MOST IMPORTANT. Aftnr all Is said and done tho ouo most Important thing of all Is tho name the car bears tho trade mnrk. When a customer asked ouo of our salesmen for tho ouo best reason why ho should buy a Chalmers car, tho salesman nlmply pointed to tho monogram on tho radiator. Ho was right. Tho most that can bo said about Chalmors cars Is simply that they mo Chalmers cars, They aro built and guaranteed by tho Chalm ors Motor Company a rompnny that has beou successful from Its Incep tion simply becnuso It has adhorod strictly to its policy of "utmost value at tho price," Wo ask only for a fair and Intelli gent comparison of Chalmers cars with others for tho cars thoinpolvos aro our bust salesipnii. In buying this car you get more than a good motor, you get service. Those cars aro on vlow at our sales room on North Holly street, near Main. Valley Auto Co. PLUMBING Stoum and Hot.
