KILLED IN FLIGHT
ON ENGLISH FIELD
News was received In Modford to
day tliru a wire from J. J. Adams of
Kvnnston, Illinois, which brlnKs the
casualties of war homo to citlzons
of thin valley as perhaps nolhliiK
heretofore has done. Tho iiioskbko
camo to W. M. Holmes, and reads as
follows: "J list received official re
port from Washington of the death
of Krnest by aeroplane accident June
twenty-sixth."
Urnest .1. Adams had rcsijod In
tills valley about ten years, and was
ono of our most respected orchar
dlstB. Mo had assumed care of his
parontB' orchard on (Irlffln creek,
which ho handled In connection with
the adjoining tract owned by hlmseir
ond his brother, f'larcnco Adams,

company of Akron, O.
Took l'p KlyliiK
Knowing full well tho hazard con
nected wllh uvlatlon, when ho found
that he was niflfd with tho Bun. so of
equilibrium so osientlal to success In
tho air, ho abandoned tho idea of
shop work which actuated him when
cnllstlnir, and Immediately after ar
riving in KiiKlnnd began prcllmiuary
training for overhead work. A letter
received In Ihe valley only yesterday,
whlcli Is added below, states how
well he was progressing towards the
finishing school In aircraft.
Of' all tho young men who have
gono to the front from the Hoguo
Itlver valley, there was none of
greater capacity for effective work,
and none governed by higher motives
than Brnest Adams. He leaves to
mourn his untimely death his father
and mother, living still with their
only daughter In KvuiibUiii, Ills., and
his brother Claronce. As a wire ot
condolence to them slates, It will ,
comfort them to know ho assumed,
the hazard to do the work ho thought j
no tvbb iioki iiuou to uo In a great
causo.

Is the more thrilling or the two. The

not an thrilling as I Imagined It

Nor do they accept mere promises being
careful buyers they demand proofs.
Perhaps the very fact that we never have
made a claim for this car that has not been
backed up by proof in the form of official
records, accounts in part at least, for the pre
dominance of Maxwells.
Another reason and unquestionably a potent
one is the fact that there are no freak feat
ures, no -inventions, no radical innovations in
this product
We do not attempt to invent new devices or
to supplant tried and proven units with others
of our own discovery.
Every unit in this Maxwell motor, clutch,
transmission, axles, steering gear, etc. is of
standard type though designed and made
a little better, we believe, by the Maxwell
organization.
For five years this model has remained prac
tically unchanged.
Refined in details, body design changed from
time to time to keep pace with changing
fashions for Maxwell buyers demand style
as well as efficiency;
But in all essentials of chassis design the
present model is identical with that of five
years ago because that first Maxwell was
