MAXWELL Motor Cars are now equipped with a new and improved windshield, still longer and more flexible springs wider seats, deeper and softer cushions, dashlight, gasoline gauge, and other equally important refinements. To the generous value heretofore present in the Maxwell product, these extra im provements have now been added. This is in line with the Maxwell policyso widely advertised not to change the Maxwell in any essential detail, but to continue improving it so that it will always be a standard, recognized product, constantly abreast of the best practices of the industry. Notwithstanding the superlative and sometimes confusing claims that are made in behalf of various automobiles, we restate our sincere conviction that Maxwell Motor Cars offer more real value Sam Poulos, of tho North Platto Candy Kitchen, wont to Omaha Wed nesday nftornoon to attend Ak-Sar Ben and visit frlonds. 1008 wost Fourth streot, Ilomcopatio Hospital.

And these beliefs are supported by actual and tangible factfa. We actually know that within the entire history of the automo bile business, no motor car in any class or at any price has equalled the Maxwell in honest dollar-for-dollar value. And if you will examine a Maxwell, ride in it, compare it with other cars, consider its splendid record, reputation and past performances, you too, will know it.

Beginning at the bond gato and for six miles east tho ditch will bo enlarged to almost doublo Its prcsont carrying capacity. Tho enlargement for this distance carries It past sovoral large lattorals, bolow which the pres onlt capacltly Is sufficient. Herotoforo tho ditch has not been ablo to carry tho full appropriation of water to which It Is entitled, but with increased capacity it will absorb tho full appro priatlon.

T1IE ADVERTISEMENTS OF THE PROSPERITY LEAGUE. Any thinking person who peruses tho advertisements of tho so-cnllcd Prosperity Loaguo must como to the conclusion that tho Loaguo is long on money nnd very Bhort on nrgumont, for whllo somo of tho ads aro catchy and bear somo semblance to renson, a largo por cent nro palpably falso and most of tthe rest aro so thin and trans parent as to bo simply ridiculous, Wo havo laws against fraudulent advertising when thero Is a direct monoy consideration Involved, but it seems there is no bar to lying for fu turo profits, and tho theory Booms to bo that no mattor how outrageous tho falsohood Ju?t bo lt ls not found-out until after election, it -will count. But tho legislature of Kansas has como out (Senato Concurrent Resolu tion No. 33, 1915.) ' nnd officially de nounced as .falso and llbolous all tho fakod flguros and Juggled statistics purporting to show thnlt prohibition had caused Increase of poverty, crime, death rato, homicides, suicides, di vorce and Juvcnllo delinquents. So it ls Just a question whether wo bolievo tho whiskey ring with a big monoy In terest at stake, or Itho representatives of tho people of Kansas with no money involved in tho Isbuo. Of tho ridiculous typo of ada, tho soft corn ad 1b a fair samplo. AIbo tho Idea that tho samo kind of land In Kansaa Bolls for an nverago of $18.00 an acres less than In Nobraska. Anyone, who for a momont would consldor seriously such statomonts, Is himself exceedingly "soft" or olsol wants to believe something awfully bad. Of tho soml-roasonablo sounding typo with somo basis in fact, thero Is one about schools: "Kansas has closed two hundred of Its schools since-1913" "has fowor schools than Nobraska" "has fewer schools por capita than Nebraska." All thoso statements aro PTobnbly true, but If "prohibition dono It," thon thero ls praise rather than blamo, for tho facts aro Kansas has boon among tho foremost Btates In centralizing her schools, and In stead of threo or four Httlo crncker box schools scnttorcd over a district, with threo to six children In each, has them, altogether In ono good building with sovoral compotont teachers and ten to twelve grades Jniitead of eight. Under this system tho children are transported in covered wagons, and lt Is fower schools and bettor schools. Govornor Cap'por denies that Kan sas has Increased Its taxes moro than Nebraska, but no donlal Is onltored that taxes havo Increased. Taxes ls simply tho monoy levied to pay for the oxponso of public owned institutions and utilities; moro lights, paved istrcetaf. sowers, efficient flrb fight ing facilities, ode, and simply stand aB evldenco of prosperity and a do- slro to "spend moro and havo moro.' Then when a town becomes advanced enough to own Ua own lighting nnd wator plants, tho samo money that was boforo paid Into corporations as wator rent nnd light bills Is now paid to tho town as taxes, so taxes may onormonsly Increaso without tho fam ily expense going up at all. It Is easy to garble flgurca when ono docB not tako Into account all tho factors In tho enso. A strictly truthful ad of Itho Loaguo would read something llko this: "Wo want to mako easy monoy and lots of lt, and to this ond dcslro tho largest posslblo outlet for our goods; saino atej guarantiocd to bo full strength and lip to tho usual stand ard of vlmlonco, sufficient to causo a good workman to spoil his work and loso his Job, a' kind husband to go homo and smash tho furniture, beat his wlfo and abuso his chlldron. It wll fill ourj Jails, poor houses, Houses of detention'. It, will mako Jobs for moro polico and keep them all busy. It will causo vlco to flour Ish and tho grafter to grow fat. It will greatly enrich nnd onhnnco tho powor of tho browor, tho distiller, tho k-flctiiler, wUolcsaler1, saloon koopor and tho ward politician. Wo thore foro ask your voto to glvo respecta bility to tho business of at least mako it legttlmato in tho eyes of tho law." Such an ad would "get results" but not tho kind tho Leaguo wants. If you really want to know tho truth as to whothor prohibition hurts or helps bualnosu, ask tho business men of North Platto. As to whether even a partial enforcement of tho law decreases drunkenness boo for your solf, or if you can't boo, ask these samo business tfcen or tho editors of tho papers whose business takes them all over town and on tho streets a con8ldorablo portion of tholr time. As to Its effect on crime, nunrrolinir and law suits, ask your own district Judgo, whoso district covors both dry towns (with "alloy Joints"?) nnd also saloon towns (llkowlso with "alloy Joints.")
