Your first ride in it, whether at the wheel or in the tonneau, tells you of its rare charm. . But after six months you find a new admiration for the Maxwell. You find it shuns the repair shop, that it runs and runs and runs and never stops running. Then after a year is past you develop an enthusiasm for It that dictionary words don't seem to fully describe. And then after you have had it for more than the average life of a motor car and you find it far better than even the Maxwell salesman said it was you search for the reason. This is what you find: " For 5 years Maxwell cars have been built on the single chassis plan. To date 300,000 have been turned out on this plan. Each car better than the other. Each one better look- ing than the other. There have been more than 1000 refinements in the Maxwell, but never once have the Maxwell executives swerved from the original program. You conclude that reliability was designed "into" the car and built "into" it, and that a policy of 300,000-all-alike is the, soundest kind of reason for writing your check for a present day Maxwell.

That is the annual Elk's plav, or "Elk's show," as it is usually called. It is the king pin of tho local thetitri cal world the one h'te show which everybody atfends us a matter of course. One of the first things the Salem lodge did back in the early days, vras to put on a play. - It was a good show. It played to capacity business. Ever sinco that time the Ellis have staged an annual play. Each year the play has been better than ever before, and 'each year it plays to ;vs a big an audi Icnce as the theatre will hold. All of which is merely by way of announcement that tho Elk's produc tion for this year is ready. Eor two weeKs tno all-star east 01 anuereu ft, f - ' ' i I if , . - . i ; i : ; f- ' - .

This is but one of the features appearing in March. Read as well " The passing of the Kings" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. She tells brilliantly ond intimate ly of the fluttering cf flags and the gaiety of trumpets which have marked th Coronation of kings, and the jun!-heap of brit tle crowns and sceptres which has followed them.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS The Many Mysteries of Naturo (By L. W. BOWEF, M. D.) You can take an onion seed and a pansy Beed, land plant, them side by Side in thp same spot of ground. In one ease, you get an onion, with its pecul iarly strong odor, and in the other you get a flower of rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed and get opium (a ilanBcrous. h:.'bit forming drug), or you can plant a rhubarb seed and get something that helps constipation. No scientist, "living or dead, can explain these mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible lifo germ in each seed is hidden the deep secret that nobody un Bakef did not mince words. He de clared that with tho exception of Gov ernor Cox, Ohio, apparently none of the members of the conference, realiz ed they were confronted with a real menace and that thoir states and cities were vitally concerned. Baker declared that none of the speakers has had the "old nerve" to say what they felt.
