That's four years longer than some of its would-be rivals have stayed in business. And it is longer than any other com parable model has endured. Of course we have changed body lines and other external details from time to time, for the Maxwell clientele is fastidious as well as frugal Maxwell buyers demand style and finish, and all those other qualities that make all the difference to the owner who would be proud of the looks as well as pleased with the performance of his car. But mechanically the changes in all those years have been in refinements of details only. We have never had to apologize for a single detail never found i$ neces sary to change any unit in the original Maxwell And you know, that had there been a single weak link one detail that was faulty in the slightest keen competition would haye forced a change of such. When, after looking them all over, you select a Maxwell motor car for yours, you have the satisfaction of knowing that more than a quarter of a million other careful buyers endorse your judgment and your good taste. Better decide while the present price holds there's no telling when it may have to advance again. VALLEY MOTOR COMPANY Front and state Street Salem. , A I a noble work In the war," was the I inrsstme received in this country by Hie. EpKcopal chuit'h from the Church of England. "Fully equipped recrca-! tlon huts, open to men of nil creeds, i have hoen established In all training j camps In Entr'and and Wales. On the French front huts, tents and tempo- j rury churches are provided. In all more than 800 of these huts and tents are in use; some in remote places In the north for the men of the navy; others In Malta. Egypt. Palestine, Macedonia, Mesopotamia, East Africa and even lu India. Frequently last letters have been written from these huts, beprine the headlnc, "Church Army Hut letters now treasured by those nt home. The bill for writing paper alone is over $SO,000 a year. "Close to the front line trenches the church army keeps several 'klteh en enrs' to supply the men with hot coffee. In England hotels having all the advantages of a club are being maintained, where men are cared for during their furloughs. Prisoners in the hands of the Oermans are also cared for by the church army." Recently General Pershing nddress ed att appreciative letter to Preben dary Carlile. head of the church army, thanking him for the help the army had been to American soldiers pnsslng through England. It is proposed to maintain a hut to be known as the "General Pershing Hut." The cost of one of these huts equipped. Is $2,500. fed riUSIC t ENDS ONE NOISE OF CITIES Invention of Philadelphia Man Does Away With Racket When Cars Cross Intersection. The problem of suppressing the noise and shock of the street car In passing over nn intersection has been attacked In a novel manner by n Phil adelphia Inventor, Samuel B. Meeker, who accomplishes tho object without the use of any of the moving and In terlocking parts which characterize most of tho Inventions for this pur pose, and without making any great changes In the design of the crossing Itself. The latter Is constructed In one piece or uult, nnd at a point slight ly lu advance of the Intersection of the rail sections. Each rail section Is formed with the fnce of the rail cut avvny In an Incline which nllows the weight of the vehicle to pnss from the bnse of the wheel to the flange on which It continues for a few feet, until the wheels have passed entirely over the Intersection, when the weight of the car again passes to the base of the wheel. This change Is so gradually accomplished thnt It Is not noticeable to the passengers und the car passes over the crossing without Jolt or noise. The latter Is a matter of great Importance to persons living in the vicinity of such Intersections, for tho pounding of the cars over them ot night comprises a serious annoyance. America's First Steel Ralls. In 18(15, as an experiment, the North Chicago Rolling Mill company manu factured six Bessemer steel rails from steel produced nt Wyandotte, Mich. They were the first made In Americn, tho modest beginning of a great In dustry. A New York mill, using ma terial turned out at Troy, mnde fur ther experiments, and In 1807 the Cambria company began to roll Bes semer steel rails as a regular business, says nn exchange. The first rails of this type were mnde and used In Eng land. They were introduced into America by tho Pennsylvania railroad, which, In 18"3, imported and put Into service 100 tons of stecf rails. The price paid was $l.r0 gold per ton, equivalent In Civil war times to ?200 In American currency. These rails were mnde of crucible steel and con tained a high percentage of carbon, rendering them brittle. For this rea son many broke during the next win ter, but despite this fact the railway company placed orders for large quan tities in Great Britain, paying from $135 to $102.50 gold per ton.

Increased planting of vegetables this year almost certainly will mean au un precedented yield of all kinds of fresh vegetables. This will mean plentiful supplies for summer tables and a large surplus. This surplus, to be useful to Amer ica, must be conserved. It must be canned, dried, brined or stored In the homos of America. Home-conserved food means that the home will be more nearly self-sustaining nnd that the burden on transports-, tlon will be lightened. Women who bave never canned should now learn-how; women who know how should prepare to do more. United States Department of Agri culture. Package Goods Expensive. Thnt package goods are more expen sive than goods bought In bulk Is shown in a chart of comparative food values recently published. The chart shows that canned penches cost three times as much as dried peaches, and the food value in calories is three times greater In the dried than In the canned variety, dinned pork and beans cost about twice as much per unit of food value as dried beans. The canned goods are ready for immediate use nnd the dried require preparation, but to persons Interested In reducing the cost of living these facts are worth taking Into consideration. JOURNAL WANT ADS PAY State House News HOY WOOLEEY DISCHARGED. Although Virion High school district j Xo. 2 of Lin , county maintains its own siliool it is not exempt from the regu lar high school tax, according to an opinion giv.on today by Attorney Ocu oral Brown to Gale S. Hill, district at torney for that county. The attorney general points out that the county high ai'hool tax is to pay tho tuition of all pupils attending any high school in the county. In reply to a telegraphic request s11' by. the governor to the war department for soldiers to patrol logging camps and timbered districts needing protection from fir,? hnzzards, it is understood word has been received that soldiers will b? given furloughs for this purpose if the lumbermen will pay the soldiers a pro per wag.3. Reports have reached here that if the regular wages are to be paid the sol diers the lumbermen are not so anxious! to have them, as it seems the lumber men had expected to get the soldiers much cheaper than they could pay other men. A meeting of lumbermen is scheduled to be held in Portland Saturday to con' ?ider the matter. A short tme ago Roy Woolery was taken up as a slacker' for failing to appear to register on June 5th. 1SU7. After being held in the county jail at Salem for a short time he was'taken to Portland to appear before the V. S. district attorney; he plead guilty be fore the V. S. grand jury and was sen tenced to ten days in jail and immed iate induction into the army; he serv ed his time in jail, and was then exam ined immediately by one of the -ar boards in Multnoihah county, and sent to Camp Lewi; the army physician there discharged him, saying he was physically unfit for military service; hence his appearance in our vicinity again. uervats ftar. IN THE BLACKBERRY BUSINESS. The Puyallup-Sumner Fruitgrowers' Canning cmpii, are making quite an industry out of the berry crops in Sil vcrton this season. Besides buying all the crop of loganberries from the Ir. Keene ranch, this company is buying evergreen blackberries in large quan tities, for which they pay a good cash price. The reason for evergreen black berries has not fairly opened, but the company is taking in a lot of berries even now. In years past the evergreen blackber ries have grown in this country in great quantities, but there has been no local market for the product and much, of the crop went to waste every year. Today it is in great demand and cv err.I of the boys in this vicinity expect to make a business of berry gathering during the season. Silverton Tribune. FAIR CROP OF PEACHES. C'uas.
