Nonagenarian Gives Some Tips on
How to Reach a Ripe Old Age
Some Really Pertinent Advice
On Vital Topic from One
Who Knows the
Secret. -
H. H. Field of Council Bluffs cele
breated his ninety-third birthday an
niversary last April by planting a
dozen or more apple and other fruit
trees on the old homestead on Stuts
man street He is widely known
s throughout the middle west In re
sponse to a request for a formula for
longevity, Mr. field furnishes the fol
lowing advice:
"Having lived considerably past the
average age allotted to man, I am fre
quently consulted as to the surest way
to reach that time of life. '
"Some years ago I offered some
suggestions and since that time a
number of my friends of mature years
have passed away; notablv Captain
Williams, aged 85; G. G. Walters at
88, John Killer and A. T. Bonham at
96, Henry Suit at 105 and Mr. Bushea
at 114. Previous to that writing, the
late John Montgomery came to an
untimely death by being crushed by
a switch engine at the age of 107. But
for this accident there is no telling
what he might have accomplished.-
His tragic death gave me a shock I
shall never forget
"We still have a number of ex
cellent men nearing the century line,
among whom are Mr. Clutterback,
who will reach it if he jives until Sep
tember. Rev. G. G. Rice, aired 93
Henry Baueroff, 98; Mr. McMicken
91; Joseph Fandel, 90; J. J. Ten
nings and John Hammer, 89, besides
probably others not of my acquaint
ance.
"Mark Twain said: 'It is not so im
portant how we live, as that each
select his own way and stick to it,' and
although he failed to reach it him
self, I am inclined to think he was
correct
"In this connection I will say,
is no more important what we do
that what we avoid doing.
"As for medicine. I will not attempt
to pass upon the relative merits of
peruna, pink pills, swamp root, Mrs.
Lydia rinkhams remedies or pure
malt whisky. I feel free to say, how
ever, that neither of them will hurt
you if you don't take them. As
for your medical adviser, I could not
recommend Dr. Osier under any con
aideration.
"In order to get a fair start in life
I would recommend poor but honest
parents.
"Eat when hungry, if you can get
the grub. If thirsty, drink plenty of
Missouri river water, or the artesian
water of Hafer's or Woodward's.
If your system requires anything
stronger, be guided by ex-President
Roosevelt or Hon. William Jennings
Bryan.
"Don't occupy the railroad track
when the lightning express is due. A
150-pound man is at a great disadvan
tage contesting the right-of-way with
an eightyton locomotive.
"It is equally important not fo at
tempt to cross the track in front of
it. It will take but one minute for
a long tram to pass, and you can bet
ter afford to wait than to incur the ex
pense or a coroner s inquest and a
first-class funeral Don't do it
"Don't monkey with an unloaded
gun. There is no record where a boy
pointed one at his little sister and
failed to get her.
"Let others do the aviating. Don't
get fleshy. The author of 'A lean dog
for a long chase,' was a sage and
knew what he was talking about
"Love your neighbor as yourself,
but not his wife. Be generous. Of all
the stingy, old farmers that run us
kids out of their orchards, not one is
living today.
"Get a pension. Nothing is more
conducive to longevity than a good
pension. When we receive it we im
mediately start in to live until next
quarter day.
"Don't blow out the gas or rock
the boat
"When your touring car turns
turtle, keep on top. It is safer than
beneath it
"Avoid all germs and microbes and
hart nothing to do with heart failure,
fio one ever lived long after his
heart had failed.
"By observing these simple rules
toh will be able to live to becpme a
burden to your children and perhaps
the whole community."

"SHOW ME" IS THE
BUYERS' ATTITUDE
Public Has Learned from the
Good-Looking Cars Which
Hare Been Put
Over.
BIG DEMAND FOR
STUDEBAKER CARS
Announcement of Increase in
Prices September 15 Causes
Intending Purchasers to
Place Their Orders.
"The American public is gradually
awakening to the fact that practically
all materials entering into the con
struction of a motor car have been
rapidly increasing in price," say
Studebaker-Wilson, Studebaker dis
tributor for Omaha and vicinity. "This
fact has been brought very forcibly
to the attention of the motor car buy
ing public by the automobile manu
facturers, who, in their newspaper ads
for manv weeks oast, have announced
an increase in their prices. Some of
these makers have even been forced
to make a second increase since July
1."
"A year ago Studebaker made huge
purchases and placed long-term con
tracts for raw materials, making it
possible to continue the present low
prices while other manufacturers of
cars in the Studebaker class advanced
their prices. But at the same time we
continually warned the public that the
increasing cost of labo; and materials
might force Studebaker to-raise their
prices at any time without notice. In
all sincerity, and without any effort
to stampede people into buying our
car, we persistently urged intending
purchasers to buy their Studebaker
at that particular time, and make sure
of a substantial saving. Now the wis
dom of our reasoning is being dem
onstrated daily' here at our salesroom.
MAXWELL SHATTERS
THIRD ROAD RECORD
Makes Montreal to Quebec Run
in Four Hours and One
Minute With Ob-servers.
Scout Duffy Seeks Talent.
Hugh Duffy, now acting as scout
for the Boston Braves, is making a
tour of the American association for
the club, looking for talent to put the
Braves in the race next year.
By breaking the Montreal-Quebec
road record, a Maxwell car, driven
by Ray McNamara, road engineer of
the Maxwell Motor company, Inc., of
Detroit, has established within two
weeks three of the most important
road records for the Dominion of
Canada.
Making the run between Montreal
and Quebec in four hours and one
minute, the Maxwell shattered all
previous utomobile records, and also
beat the fastest express trains by fifty-nine
minutes.
The record breaking records are:
Windsor to Toronto, six hours and
fifty minutes.
Toronto to Montreal, eleven hours.
Montreal to Quebec, four hours and
one minute.
The Windsor-Toronto run covered
275 miles. Between Toronto and
Montreal the car went 360 miles and
the distance from Montreal to Quebec
is 180 miles.
High Priced Cars Are
In Greatest Demand
W. L. Killy of the Noyes-Killy
Motor comoanv is alr ntnhrr1
among the believers in higher priced
cars for this community.
Uur success with the King pointed
the wav and we are finding a hrilr A.
mand for the Peerless, which is slight

The indications seem to point to a
strong increase in higher priced car

Hnw I Ann Rao it Tla
To Charge a'Battery?
"The battery man who really knows
his business," says Elmer Rosengren
the local Willard service man, "will
never set a definite time for returning
a battery he has taken to charge.
"It is impossible to tell how long
a recharging job will take. A battery
that has been neglected and starve4
mav ta'.:e frnm ihrr c.rn A-,,,
of steady charging before it is back in
wormng condition again. It may need
a long period of slow-rate charging
to bring the plates back again to a
condition where even a normal rate
of charge can be applied.
"On the other hand a battery that
is just run down, that perhaps has
been slowly drained by a dash-light
for instance, and brought in for charg
ing as soon as it showed signs of
weakness surh a hattr rn i,.
brought up again to full strength, by
an overnignt cnarge.
"Within the last few years there
has been a general realization on the
part of motor car makers that the
people who buy cars are decidedly
motor-wise, and a car that hasn't a
pedigree as a thoroughbred is nnt
salable any longer," says W. L. Killy
of the Noyes-Killy Motor company,
distributors for the King Motor Car
company, Uetroit.
"There's no denying that there have
been a lot of 'good looking' cars 'put
over,' and it was just that handsome
superficiality that fooled many a
buyer, and afterward made him adopt
a 'show me' attitude when he bought
again.
"Realizing that the best evidence of
Kings quality, ability and stamina,
would be a series of strenuous tests
under the most severe conditions

critical and investigating buyer,
"Among the most noteworthv of a
dozen remarkable achievements was
the 10,850-mile non-stop motor test.
held under the supervision of the
American Automobile association.
That feat alone would have put King
cars on the map, ana every day s per
formance since in the hands of thou
sands of owners has proven after all
that the non-stop record was not an
unusual accomplishment for a King."

TIRED & TUBED
Built by Hand
ATI RE is no stronger than its weakest part.
To eliminate all weak parts, every "Strong
hold" tire and tube is built the careful way by
hand ensuring close inspection and the utmost
durability in service.
Eighteen years of success in making wear-resisting
rubber, plus the strongest materials and latest
methods, all contribute to the durability and
mileage of "Stronghold" tires.
This kind of material, this care in building; and this
durability of "Strongholds" are absolutely impossible in
standard price machine-made tires.
Protect yourself , against short mileage and the troubles
and expense that go with ordinary-made tires by coming

and put your mind at rest

There is one thing certain when you buy a Maxwell
and that is that it is not in the class with dozens of
trucks and attachments which are clamoring for recog
nition because of some unique feature which is differ
ent and new.
On the other hand, one of the chief claims for the
Maxwell Truck is the lack of new and untried units.
One of the most essential things in truck construction
is the use of standard units and engineering principles
which are established beyond all doubt.
A manufacturer can experiment that's necessary,
but why should you bear1 the burden of the expense?
If your truck is tied up or out of order it strikes you in
a vital spot your business. Maybe you can experi
ment with a pleasure car where only your leisure h6urs
are at stake, but can you in your business?
Maxwell engineers say No! and they have, there
fore, used only tried and proven units in constructing
the Maxwell. A reputation as enviable as the Max
well can t be risked. The Maxwell truck must uphold
the Maxwell reputation.

The, Acid Test
Before you were even al
lowed an opportunity to buy a
Maxwell truck the manufactur
ers made sure that the truck
would satisfy you. They want
ed "boosters," not dissatisfied
owners.
Therefore,' they put their
new product to the acid test by
driving it 19,000 miles under
all kinds of road conditions,
loaded with numerous com
modities. No owner will ever'
call upon his truck to do the
things required of this test
truck.
Thus you are assured of satisfaction.

Bearing V
Service
Another vital thing in the
truck business is service. All
trucks, regardless of price, will
require care and attention at
times. Then comes the question
of not only efficient, but prompt
service. You will want your
truck back on the job at the
earliest possible moment.
We have a factory service
man in charge of our service
department, thus assuring you
of the most efficient service to
be had the same as you would
get at the Maxwell factory.
