A Handsome Car WHEN you pay several hun dred dollars for an automo bile, why not get a good looking one—one that you will be proud to own, proud to drive and proud to take your friends out in? Maxwell owners have a just pride in the handsome appearance of their automobile for Maxwell Motor Cars have the same attractive lines, the same graceful design as the higher priced types. In addition to good looks you want, of course, a reliable, sturdy and economical car. But there is no doubt in your mind on these points since the Maxwell a short time ago established the World’s Motor Non- Stop Mileage Record. Any car that can run continuously for 44 days and nights, averaging 500 miles per day— -22,000 miles in all and without once stopping the motor —is bound to be a well designed and well made car • Any car that can perform such ‘a wonderful feat on an average of one gallon of gasoline to every 22 miles is bound to be an economical car. We have such confidence in the Maxwell car and the company be hind it that we are willing to sell these cars on partial payments — and deliver the car to you when you make the first deposit. In justice to yourself you ought to know more about the Maxwell car and our pay-as-you-ride plan. All we ask is the opportunity to tell you. Touring Car, $655. Roadster, $635 Prices F. O, B.

Collar sores on horses and mules constitute a serious source of trou ble during the spring months when the animals are put to work after con siderable idleness during winter. At tention to the proper fit of the collar We repair the Most Delicate and hames, together with daily care in keeping the collars clean and smooth, will do much to avoid the trouble. Daily bathing of the shoul ders with cold salt water is beneficial. Sugar of lead one ounce; sulphate of zinc one ounce; water one quart, mixed together, makes a valuable ap plication for healing and toughening the skin. The mane at top of neck where the collar rests should not be clipped off.
