MAYOR’S NEW CAR
RUINED BY VANDALS
Some time Wednesday night some
vandal entered Allen’s cotton seed
house where Mayor .1 .B. Ketehem
had hs new car under the shed, and
slashed the body and seats in a num .
her of places with a knife. A number
of deep cuts were made in the body
of the car, and the seats were literally
cut to pieces.
The car is a right new Maxwell
sedan and was purchased by Mr.
Ketehem only a few weeks ago.
Fortunately he had taken out an
insurance policy on the car a few
days ago which will cover his loss.
It is not known who the guilty
party or parties are, and it is hard to
believe that there is anyone in New
ark who is mean enough to do so
dirty a trick as this.

CURBING THE WASTE
Just now the housewives of the
country are being deluged with ad
vice and warnings as to waste in the
kitchens. In nine families out of
every ten the advice is entirley super,
fluous, from the fact that prices and
pocketbooks fail to harmonize. Econ.
omy was the first lesson learned by
the women when the present era of
high prices opened. There is prac
tically no waste in the average Amer.
ican home.
The waste and extravagence in this
country is in the fashionable hotels,
restaurants, cafes and in the mansions
of the idle rich. Intelligent economy
will never be practiced in these places
so long as people persist in from six
to ten courses a meal, of which but
a small fraction is actually con
sumed, the residue going either to
second hand resorts or to the swill
barrel. No system of food economy
can be successful that permits waste
of food product for no other reason
than that the waster has the price.
SERIOUS ACCUSATION
SUPT. 1.0.0. F. HOME
Crawford Dismissed as Superintendent
Of Home and Warrant Issued
For His Arrest
4 _
Batesville, July 25.—A warrant
was issued here today for the arrest
of W. D. Crawford, who until Mon
day was superintendent of the Odd
Felloes’ Home.
Prosecuting Attorney Earle Casey
says the warrant was issued as the
iv. ul; of statements made to him Dy
Zelpha Cooper, aged 12, and Annie
Sears, aged 13, orphan girls who are
in the home. •
i no gins, it is said, made grave
charges against Crawford, and said
that Crawford sent away at least
two other girls who might have giv
en testimony against him.
Stories of affairs at the home re.
suited in an investigation by a com
mittee of Odd Fellows, headed by the
grand master. Monday, Crawford was
discharged as superintendent, and his
place was taken by Assistant Super
intendent Reeves.Crawford left Bates
vllle early yesterday morning, before
the prosecuting attorney secured
statements from the girls, and no one
knows his whereabouts. Sheriff Law
rence Ruddell has, sent messages in
all directions, asking that he be ar
rested if rerognized, and Mayor V. G.
Richardson has offered a reward of
$50 for his arrest.
Crawford is married. He had
been here about a year. He and Mrs.
Crawford came here from the western
part of the State. It is said that
the investigation was begun when
one of the girls at the home com
plained to a neighbor woman. Physi
cians who have examined the two
children say that their story to the
prosecutor apparently is true.
The I. O. O. F. home here provides
for nearly 170 children, boys nnd
girls.

Studebaker
ESTABLISHED 1852
To match in SEATING CAPACITY the Stude
baker Four at $985, you must pay on the
average $1802. To match the Studebaker
Six at $1250 in capacity costs on the av.
erage $2254.
HERE is another remarkable point of Studebak
er VALUE proved by the industry’s own fig
ures. The few other cars that equal Studebak
ers in this respect cost many hundreds of dollars
more. Studebakei s are the strongest, lighest cars
of their capacity on the market. Less skillful
manufacture.s may approach Studebaker in light
ness—but they attain it only by sacrificing strength.
Remember, seating capacity is only one point of
Studebaker VALUE—let us show you some oth
ers. For it is the sum of these VALUE POINTS
added together that makes Studebaker the best
automobile “buy” of 1917.
Studebaker Value May Only be Judged
\! By Comparing Studebakers With Cars
!! Costing Many Hundreds of Dollars More
