PN this SAXON "SIX” at I8ln you get a lightness
-a luxury s comfort—n Iteauty—a silence—a Hex-
Libility — a power--that brings into question the high
priced car'. Unless von seek the extravitgatit degree
in speed or power, or appointment, you’ll find the
Saxon “Six’’ meet a your ideals nf a tine motorcar.
No other cur a t. anvwhere nenr its price con measure
merit with Saxon “Six." That is generally admit-
ted, Ma.v wngive you a Sixon “Six’’ demonstration.

Don’t Swear
There are a number of young
men ami hoys, and some old men
to who seem to have nothing to do
but set around u store porch and
u*iI filthy stories and “cuss ”
In fact they do not slop it
wlieu ladies are passing.
Surely there can tie no reason
for taking God’s name in vain, it
does not help anyone, it only
serves to lower your own name
reputation and character.
There is absolutely no excuse
for profanity, so cut it out,
It is u it smart to curse,
It ir not manly,
il is breaking our law.
It is breaking God’s law.
Don’t he a law lifeuker,
Don’t take God’s name in vain
Kami the adds, and buy from
those who advertise,

Everyone come out Sunday and
help make the Colony Sunday
School the best in thee unity. We
need you ami you need the Sun-
day Seoul,
view the reporter asked t he c.liiet,
“Have yon been very buid on any
body?”.
“Oh, yfcH,” the chief replied
“I have been very hard on sonic
people. I have been very hard
“On whojr*” asked the repor
*
ter.
Well, on ‘gamblers, for in
stance, and on sellers of cocaine,
ether and dope ir. general.’’
“What have you done to them?
Slowly, deliberately, but with
great emphasis, the prefect of]
police said, “1 have treated
them as enemies of the Republic.
At the very same time the newt-
comes across the rch that the
American jockey, Tod Sloan, wjm
rode King Edward’s N il’s horses
had been expelled from England.
He was the idol ot the multitude
a short time ,,ago. He bss been
deporttd from Grea an un-
der the defense of the realm ttvt.
While no cause is stilted, it is un-
derstood tliut it is because he lias
been running a gambling house
in London where Hritish army
officers have lost large sums of
money. This constitutes him at
time an enemy to England’s wel-
fare.
It is a significant fact that the
war lias made perfectly evident
to the French und Hritish govern
melds wind the Christ i..n pieucht-r
and press.ha 1* in-isied-un .all'the
lime—that gambling j dots and
giitllbleis und sellers of ‘'dope”
of all kinds are uniong tin- most
dangerous enemies nf the country
Llovd George, early in the war
listed avnther enemy ; “We ure
fighting three enemies—Germany
Austria and drink, and Ihe great-
est of these is drink.’’
Here is llie proclamation which
some of the best and most patrio
tic Englishmen are publishing to
the world ;
I have killed more men Ilian have
fallen in all the wars of the
world.
I have turned men into brutes,
and have made millions un-
happy.
I have trausforii ed many amhi-
tinuu youths into Imp* less pul-
asites.
I make smooth the downward
pstli fur * nun liens millions.
1 destroy the weak aid weaken
the strung.
1 make (lot wi.-e man a fool, nod
trample the fool into Ins folly.
1 am known to tin* abandoned
wife, the parents whore child
has huWed their gray heads in
sorrow and to the hungry chil-
dren.
I am a greater too to the empire
than the Germans.
I have almost hrnuglit, defeat on
tiie empire through drunken
work men.
I am doing my host to bring this
about.
1 am still “Going .SImug.’’
