The com mittee which canvassed Auto Row is expected to make a full report by Tuesday. O. T. Eastman, general chairman of the Liberty Loan com mittee, stiil retains his desk in the lounging room of the Commercial club and continues to direel the cam paign. Figures are still coming in slowly, and the banks, to wnicii an applications have to he taken eventu ally, are literally buried brnefth a flood of applications which they have not yet been able to tabulate properly. U. C. Patterson, real estate man, aid of the bonds: "The non-taxability of Liberty bonds will soon send them to a premi ' um and their flexibility is illustrated by the fact that call money can be borrowed on 'them in Wall street at from 2H to 3 per cent and time money can be had from the Federal Reserve and the home banks at i'A per cent ought to and will make them popular generally among the people whether they are patriotic or not, as all do like to have their cash get-at-able and at the same time to get a non-taxable income therefrom. "If one deposits cash in a bank they will get 4 per cent if left there for a car, but unless one swears on oath 1u the assessor that they have' no money on deposit or loaned out he is taxed Z per cent on the amount, leav ng but 2 per cent net interest, and if one has enough at interest to amount to 1 million income ne wouia, unaer the new income tawbillhave to pay 45 per cent of his income, leaving dim but 1 1-10 per cerlt of his bank inter est as against i'A he gets, on Liberty bonds." f Says He Dared Not Breathe Without Wife's ConsenJ Christ Mathisen, whose wife's di vorce suit, brought on grounds of al leged non-support, is pending1 in dis trict court, has filed a unique answer. Despite the alleged shortcomings of his spouse, Mrs. Mary Mathisen, as set out by htm, he wants the court to dismiss the action and "save their hard-earned money for old age, rather than expend it for lawyers' fee and court'eoste." "It's for the children's sake," he ays. According to Mathisen, his wife is "a woman of irascible temper, an un governable, free and unlimited tongue, with the sting of an adder and the poison of a scorpion, whose 'disposi tion is so obnoxious that he dared not in the jast twenty-five years breathe without her consent" FATHER GEHL AND HIS DEAF MUTE MISSION The central figure in the picture it Father F.utrene dehl. the onlv miulonarv for deaf mute in the United States.

Problem is Serious Atlantic City, N. J., June 11. The government faces a serious problem in the matter of obtaining pharma- Pesisjent Advertising it the Koad to success. V ceutical drugs, acco'rding to delegates to the annual convention of the American Association of Pharmaceu tical Chemists, which opened here today. "Bids have been asked for $3,000, 000 worth of material for army use immediately," said G. D. Ellyson of De Moines, "and even though it were possible to obtain the raw ma terial it would require all the plants combined a year to fill the orders." At the request of the federal au thorities the chemists' association has named, a committee to devise a plan to tnect the situation. The commit tee includes Charles Pratt of Phila delphia, Dr. C. H. Searless, Chicago; R. C. Stouffer, Norwich, Conn.) G. D. F.llyson, Des Moines, la., and W. C. Abbott, Chicago., After a plan of action has been agreed upon members of the committee will go to Washing ton for a conference with government officials. Inability to obtain raw and inter mediate drugs from i abroad and the commandeering by the government of all sheet and block tin for condensed milk and other food containers is re sponsible for the situation, the chem sists say.. , Another factor is the inability of glass factories to secure sand be cause of the flat car restriction to the shipment of coal, "which has caused a number of the, factories to suspend operation and rendered it impossible for chemists to get a sufficient supply of glass containers."' He Has Had Ancestors in Every ' War Since John Smith Crossed Pond Harry C. Claiborne, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Claiborne, left Sunday afternoon for Fort LogarC Colorado, where he has joined the hospital corpl of the army. He had passed exam ination for Fort Snelling, but because of his youth was not among those first called to the camp, and, becom ing impatient of delay, decided to "go in" as early as possible. It is in teresting to note that he is of the seventh generation of men who have fought under the colors of the United States or of the colonies, he having had ancestors in every war from the French and Indian war to the present trouble. On the maternal side his first America ancestor was Captai'i Christopher Newport, who command ed the fleet' which brought Captain John Smith and the original settlers of Jamestown, Va to America. Maurice Northwall, son of the late T. G. Northwall, left at the same time for Fort Logan to enter the same service.

It Tells You Why Motor Car Prices Must Go Higher The Nash Motors Company makes plain why the price of Jeffery Six can probably be maintained only a short time, and how you can save $150 to $200 by acting s now. Read this letter. Consider these facts. They, are important to every automobile buyer in this city. I Dear Mr. McDearmon : Kenosha, Wis. ' . June 2, 1917. rWe can n4t hope to maintain the present price of the Jeffery Six at $1465 for long certainly not after our present 6tock of raw materials is exhausted . Materials have advanced, as you know, between 20 and 50 per cent in the, past few months. (Forty-four automobile manufacturers have been obliged to raise their prices from $75 to $200, clue to this condition alone. There is no let-up in sight. The cost of materials is still advancingan d with the proposed government war tax , to consider, motor car prices must unquestionably go still higher. Now soiar, we have been practically unaffected by the rising cost ofvaw materials. Because we actually build ninety-three per cent of every Jeffery Six in our own factory, we have to buy our materials far in advance and in huge quantities. Therefore, the cost of this car right now is based on the cost of materials purchased over a, year ago at much lower prices. That is why we can sell the Jeffery Six now for $1465. Because we have these materials in stock we have a great advantage ovet companies which merely assemble cars and have been paying the high pre vailing prices for their parts and supplies. It means that you are offering to your-customers at $1465, a car which is really worth $150 to $200 more. ' We feel certain they will take advantage of the opportunity to secure the jeffery Six at this substantial saving. , . Congratulations-on the fine business you have been doing in your territory.
