The prisoner shows orders on the express company bearing the name of Jameson, but Deputy Mann suggested that the handwriting was exactly similar to Rivet's.

" 'Hilf $1395 Come Ride in the Essex Its First Showing—A Light Weight Quality Car We Want Your Opinion of It All motordom has waited a j'ear for the Essex. Dealers have ventured all sorts of descriptions for it. But today it is having its premier showing in hundreds of cities and towns throughout America. For months the trade papers have given first prominence to whatever news they could get of its details. Their interest was awakened because it combines the advantages of the light low-priced car, and its economy, with the performance, sturdiness and beauty of the large and costly car. One leading writer proclaimed the Essex a new development in motor car transportation. Don't you want to beiamong the first in this locality to see the car that has awakened this interest? We wish you would come and ride in it Tor You Are To Do Its Advertising We have long wanted to reveal the details of the Essex. But the manufacturers said they wanted the car to speak for itself. They said no description that could be applied to it would create as favorable an impression as would result from a ride in the car. Even now we hesitate to praise the Essex since we can say nothing that has not already been claimed in praise for some other car.* » So the endorsement it is to receive is such as you and other thousands of motorists volunteer to give. All we ask is that you come see and ride in it. We Were Surprised— Let Us Surprise You When we went to the factory to see the Essex we wanted to know in advance some thing of its detail. But we were told that was for us to discover as we inspected and rode in the car. Perhaps we would have been skeptical and have concluded there was nothing un usual about the Essex if we had npt known 13 BWISKf MOTOR •CARS the men who are building it. But knowing them as we do and knowing the quality of cars they build, our faith and curiosity were aroused. What a Ride Proved to Us Our first experience was a ride over a road so rough that you would willingly go miles out of the way to avoid if you were in the average light car. We took it at high speed, but the effect in both the front and rear seats was more in keeping with what you might expect in riding over a smooth pavement. Then we drove into soft sand where the wheels sunk in below the felloes, going through as though it were thin mud. Every test that reveals performance was shown us. There were no squeaks. The motor did not labor. The car had been in similar service for months and still retained its appearance of newness. These are things we want to show you. A demonstration like that which surprised uj is ready for you if you will come to our store. The Essex is Built To Endure Every part that wears is adjustable. Hard service can not loosen the body nor twist the radiator. It is so sturdily built that the frame remains solid and rigid over the roughest roads and through the hardest service. The motor is practically free from vibration. If you were blindfolded and placed in the Essex without having seen it and then were given such a ride as we want you to takewith us, you would likely say you were in a large and costly car. After you have ridden in the Essex we will tell you all about it. Then, we think you will be so enthusiastic you will tell everyone you know that you have ridden in the most surprising car you have ever seen. T. C.

CAMPAIGN BRINGS IN 600 MEMBERS High School Athletic Associa tion Secures Fine Results From Membership Effort. .-i A very satisfactory ending to the high school Athletic association membership campaign last night brought out the fact that 600 of the 700 students enrolled in the school are members of the organiza-1 tion. For the past week the membership drive has been on in full blast under the leadership of the president of the organi zation. Gordon Pierce. The success of the Cascade basket ball game probably added to the enthusiasm which is un usually evident for so early in the sea son. The payment of the 2T> cents dues gives the members the privilege of re duced rates to all games and meets put on by the Athletic association during the year. A portion of the funds goes for the purchase of seven new basket ball suits for the team. These have already been ordered" and are expected any time.
