A cheap piece of machinery, like the boy
with a little knowledge, is sometimes a danger-
ous thing.
Men are buying better and better lawn
mowers, and reapers, and printing presses, and
gasoline engines and pumps.
Why? Because they find it pays.
Probably there’s no better example of this
in the case of automobiles than Chalmers cars.
Figures show that over 75% of men who
have bought Chalmers cars this year previously
owned a $500, $600 or $800 car.
And the great big increase in Chalmers
sales (792% in six months) has come from
towns just like this.
In the old days Chalmers cars were sold
for the most part in towns like New York and
Chicago.
You can find Chalmers cars most any time
of the day in most any block in such towns
even now.
But in the smaller communities Chalmers
cars are most numerous today. Because the
people in towns like this were quickest to see
the value, note the endurance, and observe the
wonderful performance.
Particularly of this 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers,
which is, in our opinion, the most able car
that ever came to this town.
Price $1090 Detroit, a car well worth $1400.

while the cruiser violated no law, the
entrance was at leasst “unusual.” The
navy department “has been fully in-
formed of the facts by officers of the
battleship Louisiana, who .first saw
the cruiser inside the capes.
Among residents of Cape cities the
phase arousing most comment is the
ease with which the cruiser reached
a point near Fortress Monroe without
being seen by more than a few per-
sons. Agitation for immediate estab-
lishment of coast defenses and regular
naval lookouts nearer the capes than
Fortress Monroe has taken on renewed
vigor.

mainder as desired.

Crystal No. 1.
“Jerry’s Strategem” is the title of
the principal comedy offering at the
Crystal No. 1 today. The story fol-
lows:
Jerry continues to woo the daugh-
ter of a millionaire, despite the objec-
tions of the parent.' The father deter-
mines to put an end to the courting
and summons the ponce. The presence
of the policeman does not bother Jerry,
but is causes a heated argument be-
tween the- father and the persistent
wooer, and when the guardian of the
law attempts to interfere he is knocked
unconscious by his own club of which
Jerry gains possession. Other police-
men are attracted and they arrest Jer-
ry and the millionaire.
At the jail Jerry manages to get hold
of another club, and as he is about to
be cast into a cell he brings the club
down on the keeper’s head and manages
to escape after locking the father in
a cell. Jerry appropriates the use of
a patrol wagon to himself and drives
off again to woo the girl.
He comes across some men who are
enjoying themselves at archery. In-
terested Jerry happens to get in the
way of the flying arrows and arouses
the indignation of the sportsmen. They
kick Jerry about and then start to
fight among themselves regarding the
manner of scoring tne shots, which
struck the intruder, in the meantime
Jerry grabs several bows and some
arrows and escapes.
,As Jerry arrives at his sweetheart’s
home, he sees the father coming along.
Jerry drives his patrol wagon behind
the house and prepares a note for the
girl, which he attaches to one of the
arrows. Attracting her attention by
whistling, he is about to shoot the
arrow with the note to her when the
father is attracted.
After many ludicious experinces the
lovers are finally married.

Austin, July 26.—Intensive health
campaigns will be started • in Harris,
Polk and Trinity counties on Aug. 15,
according to announcement made by
State Health Officer W. B. Collins who
has just returned from his old home
at Crockett where he went to cast his
vote in the primary election. All three
of these counties have, through their
county commissioners voted appropria-
tions to carry on the work. The in-
ternational health commission, through
its Texas representative, Dr. P. W.
Covington, is to co-operate with these
counties, and in all instances the com-
mission has duplicated the amount ap-
propriated by the counties. This is
the plan upon which this commission
works.
Preliminary sanitary work will be
conducted in these three counties by
Dr. Covington before the official cam-
paign open,s in the middle of next
month. Dr. Collins said that he found
that many of the smaller cities and
towns in ' the eastern portion of the
state are taking active steps for the
construction of sewage disposal plants
in accordance with the provisions of
the antistream pollution ' law.
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS.
The second days session of the coun-
ty superintendents’ institute opened
today with an address by Prof. W. F.
Doughty, state superintendent of pub-
lie instruction, his subject being “How
to Administer the Compulsory Educa-
tion Law.” Superintendent Doughty
defined a number of the provisions of
this new law which becomes effective
on Sept. 1, and gave the county super-
intendents the benefit of his interpre-
tation of this new statute. “The Demo-
cratic Spirit and Democratic Method,”
was the subject of an instructive ad-
dress delivered by Dr. W. S. Sutton,
dean of the school of education of the
University of Texas. Dr. J. L. O’Brien,
school extension agent of the national
bureau of education was the next
speaker and the subject of his address
was “The Problem of the Employment
of an Adequately Prepared Teacher for
Every Rural School.”
During the afternoon session there
was a general discussion of the topics
of the program spoken about during
the afternoon. Tonight the session will
be held on the university campus when
Dr. J. C. Muerman, specialist in rural
education of the national bureau or

Washington, July 26.—President Wil-
son and members of his cabinet
mapped out preliminary plans for the
coming presidential contest and decid-
ed that except in Maine, where an elec-
tion will be held Sept. 11, actiye cam-
paigning will not be started until con-
gress adjourns. So far the president
had no plans for going into Maine, al-
though he undoubtedly will take part
in the campaign these by writing let-
ters and receiving delegations. Secre-
taries Wilson, Daniels and Redfield,
Former Governor Glynn of New York
and Senator James of Kentucky are
among speakers who will be sent into
the state.
The president's plan is to remain
here until congress adjourns and then
go to Shadow Lawn, N. J., for the for-
mal notification ceremonies. The only
definite speaking engagement he has
is in Kentucky for September, but
Chairman Vance McCormick of the
Democratic national committee will
recommend that he make several other
addresses during the next few weeks.
