HEARTILYJlECflVED
The general public and mUic lover,
especially, have greeted with enthusi
asm a new Pathephone place, i on exhi
bition at the Sloe mi & Car field store
last week. The new instrument has
an innovation that causes it to sDpd
to these who listen to eong or otr.t
mufickl reproductions.
In other standard makes of talking
machines and pbonotrraphs the repro
duction takea place before the gourd is
transmitted to the vibrato, sounding
device In the new Pathe) hone the
souid 18 transmitted to a dvke thht
reproduces it and ser.ds it directly to
the ea a of the listener. It is close as
an ap roach as i- ssible to the human
threat or the actual operation of an
instrument, and therefore is all but
natural.

Chevrolet Forfieety
The more a man knows about automobiles,
the more experience he himself has had
with them, the more critical he is apt to
be of their essential features.
To satisfy this class of motorists is the chief
motive of Chevrolet construction and equip
ment. It is this element therefore that the con
venience of operation, accessibility and
equipment, the dependability and economy
of the Chevrolet makes its greatest appeal.

Maxwell
'S
WAS NOT SUICIDAL
An autopsy performed by County
Health Officer V. K. Abraham has re
vealed that the death of J. C. Ho
warth, Dee rancher, was caused from
a diabetic spasm instead of from
strychnine poisoning as was at first
supposed. Mr. Hovvarth, aged 66 and
a native of England, was found in
agony by his nephew, who lived with
him, last Fiiday night. Returning
from a neighbor's, where he had gone
to summon a physician, Mr. Pilling
found his uncle dead. The discovery of
a strychnine bottle lead to the suicide
theory, but it was ascertained that Mr.
Howatth had been taking the drug for
heart trouble. His stomach showed no
traces of strychnine poisoning.
Mr. Howarth's bodv was buried
Tuesday at Idlewilde cemetery. Cor
oner Anderson made an investigation
Saturday. He was accompanied by
Undertaker Bartmess, the latter bring
ing the body here for interment.
Mrs. Jones Buried Here
The remains of Mrs. Agnes Jones,
whose death occurred in Portland Sat
urday and whose funeral was held there
Tuesday were brought here for inter
ment at Idlewilde cemetery yesterday.
Mrs. Jones, the daughter of J. N. Mc
Coy, is survived by twin sons.
The burial was conducted by S. E.
Rartme88.
Good looks, plenty of comfort and convenience and ample room for five adults
make the Maxwell Touring model the ideal car for family use. The popularity
of this pleasure car alone, during the past five seasons, would have enabled
the Maxwell Motor Company to attain a volume production, such as few motor
car companies achieve with an entire line.
Five years of intensive manufacture have developed the Maxwell chassis
remarkably, and the efforts of the past year to enhance the car's appearance
have borne good fruit.

The Touring Car appears this season with a new body. It is just a
little more roomy than its predecessors - more space in the tonneau and more
clearance and leg room in the driving compartment. This naturally followed as
a result of lengthening the chassis several inches.

Residents of Cascade Locks were
never happier than when the cold wavi
let up and moderation set in, declared
A. W Meyer, who was here last week
on business. Fuel ran out and a short
age of coal oil held the Locks town ir.
its grip, according to Mr. Meyer.
' For a week we were without elec
tric lipids. Coal oil ran out, and we
had to fall back on candles," said Mr.
Meyer. "We used all available stock.
We were indeed glad to see the ther
mometer climb. Our minimum tem

Should He (Jiiarantined
Many physicians believe that anyone
who has a bad cold should be complete
ly isolated to prevent other members of
the family and associates from con
tracting the disease, as colds are about
as catching as fheasles. One thing
sure the sooner one rids himself of a
cold the less the danger, and you will
look a good while before you find a
better medicine than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to aid you in curing a
cold.
