General Porfirio Tlaz, former president of Mexico, died here. General Diaz's wife, Senora Carmen Romero, Rubio Diaz and their son, Porfirio Diaz, Jr., and the latter's wife were at his bedside when the end came. , General Diaz began to fail rapidly about three weeks ago and,, while his death was not unexpected, wing to his advanced age and recent failing health, the crisis came suddenly. Colonel Diaz, in announcing the death of his. father, said that a com plication of disease, due to advanced age, was the cause. General Diaz was born in 1830. His family were of old Spanish stock, with an infusion of Indian blood. Left fatherless at the age of three, he was educated at the expense of the bishop of Oaxaca, with the intent km of be coming a priest, but he eventually turned to law and then at the out break of the war with the Unite J States turned to a military career. He served throughout that struggle in a militia company. He and one other were the only two in the country who dared openly oppose the continuation of Santa Ana's dictatorship. His exe cution was ordered, but he escaped and joined Herrora's revolt. He speedily made a reputation as a sol dier, and as a brigadier general he was the chief thorn in the side of the French forces, when, taking advantage of the civil war in the United States, they attempted to place Archduke Maximilian of Austria on the throne of a Mexican empire. Diaz harassed the enemy constantly, and in June. SOT, captured Mexico City with his forces. On the re establishment ofi the republic he was unsuccessful as a candidate for president, but in 1S77) he was elected to nil tne unexpired term of the fugitive president, Lerdo. His last and eighth election was in July, 1910. To Diaz was given credit for the ad vance of Mexico to the status of a stable and prosperous government, al though the autocratic methods he em ployed were widely criticised. CAPT.

SERVICE Every Overland Car sold in this vicinity since 1908 is still in service. PRICE No car today gives as much real value for the money as the Overlancl. You can satisfy yourself on this subject by comparing specifications with competitive cars. r UP-KEEP No car was ever built that did not at some time or other need some repair. Repairs for the Overland can be obtained the same day as ordered, and at prices far below what other manu facturers charge. This fact does not occur to the average buyer until he needs some parts and finds it takes from one to three weeks to get parts and in many cases at prices two and three times what the Over ly., J ool,o AiiMmnkllo' far.tnries have declined in numbers from 270 in 1911 to 1 19 in 1915. In other words 15! factories out of 270 have quit making cars in the last four years, and well informed men in the automobile business predict that the change in the next two years will be still more startling, which means that it will be still more difficult and still more delay on parts for cars that are not being man ufactured at that time. There is only one manufacturing plant in the world that produces more cars than the Overland Company, which has increased its pro duction from 400 cars in 1908 to over 100,000 cars per year now. If the Overland car had not given far better average satisfaction to the buyer in the past it would not have outstripped all its competitors, many of which were in the automobile field twice as long.
