MASSAPEQUA NEWS ITEMS
In making our initial bow as the Massapequa correspondent of The Nassau Poat. we take occasion to ex¬ press our high appreciation of the honor conferred by the editor. In be¬ ing .selected to flll this most Import¬ ant poaitlon we realize that this pref¬ erment might subject us to criticism for what we might do,^ or perhaps should not do. However, we wish to announce that our endeavor shall be fairness to all, and a just considera¬ tion of all matters before being of¬ fered for publication.
The interests of Massapequa will In every Instance be conserved and noth¬ ing will be sent out that in any sense could be considered offensive to any one.
Our Interests are mutual. Our de¬ sires are the same. Our one aim should be to help Massapequa grow In pop¬ ulation and in favor, its citizens to continue in usefulness, and a greater cordiality toward each other.
How best to accomplish the task we have before us depends upon the co-operation we shall receive from our friends and neighbors.
We want you all to consider your¬ selves assistant correspondents and leave whatever news you can gather at Klcher's store where it will be "dolled up" and decorated for the public.
Thanking Mr, Stiles for the con¬ sideration shown, and friendly atti¬ tude manifested toward Massapequa in the past, and asking the indulg¬ ence of our people in our new field of endeavor we are, very truly,
AD. AND.
rectly across the bay we have High HUI Beach anti Jones' Beach to which boats go from Seaford Creek twice daily.
There are many other attractions that cannot be mentioned bere, unless we can again impose on the editor for space, and the fact that he has been so generous in the past tempts us to go on, because we almost forgot lo mention the moet important feature of all, "The Massapequa Social Club." This organization has provided year around entertainmenl for the young people, who look forward to the week¬ ly events that brings them all togeth¬ er in the handsome building of the Queens Land and Title Company. Everything presented there is of the highest character, and is instructive as well as entertaining.
Then, too, we have the Presbyterian church organized some three years ago with a Sunday scbool recently started, and in charge of Mrs, A. H. Bartle as superintendent. Mr. Bartle has had experience in this work In the past, and nothing remains but a good attendance to make the school a success.
The sermon delivered Sunday morn¬ ing last by the new minister. Rev. Mr, Truby, was the best ever heard In the church. The text, "Cast thy burden on the Lord," was woven Into the nermon in a masterly manner, and held the congregation from beginning to end. This sermon was wasted only on those who were not fortunate enough to hear Mr. Truby. His ser¬ mons are too good for delivery to a
small congregation. Let us greet him next Sunday with a large attendance.
Ethel Anderson was tendered a sur¬ prise by the young people of Massa¬ pequa on Friday evening. May 19, at the Massapequa Hotel. The plans were carefully laid. The guest of the even¬ ing was taken to the hotel on the pre¬ text of going over some "camp flre" work with one of the young ladies living nearby. The young folks were assembled In the hotel parlor, and when Miss Anderson was escorted to the door the lights were turned on <|ind the surprise was complete. Games were played, dancing indulged in and refreshments served.
Mr. William R. Snedeker and fam¬ ily will arrive for the summer on May 26, Mr. Snedeker Is flrst vice- president of the Massapequa board of trade.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bode and Mrs. Thomas Snedeker, mother of Mrs. Bode, will join the summer colony on May 2Ct.

There are many Indications of a most prosperous season in Massape¬ qua, Our real estate dealers are be¬ sieged by buyers and renters. Old houses are all being renovated for early occupancy, hotels and resorts are being opened. There is a marked Improvement in the golf facilities of the Massapequa Golf and Country Club, and there are few communities where a greater degree of harmony prevails upon any matter of real im¬ portance. Our ozone, perhaps the most invigorating on the Atiantic Coast because of the topography of the section naTurally enough makes the newcomer fall right in with the oldtimer and boost.
Tbe Massapequa Goif and Country Club has added nine holes to the course and the professional in charge for 1916 ie Mr. Gilligan, who was the instructor for inside golf at the John Wanamaker Academy, His workshop and office will be found at the rear of the red house, Merrick road and Sea¬ ford creek.
Owing to the serious illness of Mr?, L. B. Adams, from which she is rapid¬ ly recovering, the Adams residence has been rented to Col. Fred C. Whit¬ ney, the theatrical manager, and Mr, and Mrs. Adams will reside in their cottage now being built.
The many friends of Stephen .A. Britton will be pleased to learn that he has recovered suRlciently to enahle his removal from New York to his home here.
Mrs. George Thompson has been very ill.
Mrs, Walter Sawyer has re-opened her house for the sea.son.
The many friends of Commodore Wliliam Schuyler Jackson, as genuine a gentleman as ever lived, are con¬ gratulating one another that he has leased the Praher place for another year.
Our town committeeman. William J. Hoffman, who is a New York law¬ yer, has recently won a very hard- fought case, contested by the ablest legal talent in the State.
Our two popular bachelors, Messrs. Frank Killian and Eugene Kicrerer, motored down the east end of the Isl¬ and recently and report prospects for a bumper crop.
The reporter was so busy getting down the names of the young folks who participated in the presentation of the ring to Fred Kicherer at his birthday party recently that he failed to hear Mr. Rohr, in a very humorous speech, present the young man with a handsome pair of cuff links on behalf of the old folks of the town. We apologize for the oversight.
Mas.sapequa, though late, is dress¬ ing up in sunimer garb of varigated green in spite of the continued cool and unseasonable weather. The peo¬ ple are, as everywhere, looHing for¬ ward to what they can really call spring; and with a degree of timidity, like the tulip in early spring, are just peeping out, and are looking for the coming of thoee who spend their sum¬ mers with us, because they cannot find a better place on the Island to go: and the old settlers here could not be inctucen to go anywhere else. Tnis calls to the writer's mind a story told by Ople Reid, the old-time humorist, which runs .something like this: Reid was driving along a country road on a hot summer day and passing an old house saw an old man sitting on the end of a long bench, wrapped In a blanket, and the sun pouring down upon him. Reld's curiosity was arous¬ ed. He stopped and ^-aid to the man, "My dear fellow, wh.. are you sitting there In the hot sun; why don't you move to the other end of the bench In the shade," "Taint time yet; fever aint come on, ' said the old man. "Why, what's the matter," said Reid. "Chills and fever," said he. "How long have you had it, " asked Reid. "Thirty years," said the man. "How long have you lived here, " asked Reid, "Thirty years," said the man. "Why, don't you move to some other place?" "What, and get something I don't kno wanytblng about?"
This applies tP the Inhabitants of Massapequa, old and new. And though they do not come very fast, those who do are sure to stay; and there are many reason why. The attractions are many. Fine roads, beautiful homes on flne grounds, and occupied by people as neighborly and cordial as can be found anywhere. A flne shore front, stretching along the Great Soutb Bay for about three miles with many beautiful spots, oue of the most attractive of which is Indian Point, where there is a flne pavilion. Women and children can go there in safety, and while away the hours In boating and bathing. And then dl-
Paul Kicherer and Frank Kernan did a movie act on Merrick road last Friday, resulting in two hadly dam¬ aged automobiles.

26 Extra Features
AU Paid for Through 10,000 Factory Savings Made Possible by John W. Bate—The Efficiency Expert
In this Mid-Year Mitchell we have many new things to show you. All the best ideas which were brought out in 257 New York Show models. And 26 extras, unique to the Mitchell. Don't miss this car.
The construction of thc chassis in the Mitchell is uniform. We have spent ]3 years in developing it. And vve cannot hope to greatly improve it.
But a hundred designers—experts and artists—are evolving new ideas in body and equipment. And our chief effort is to keep ahead of the rest.
Our Composite Car
This year we took a new tack. We brought out this Mid-Vear model—our second for 1916. *
We held its completion until after the New York Show. There we saw all the new ideas and touches. And we learned what people liked best.
Then we combined in this new model 73 things that folks wanted. Of these, 26 are unique to th6 Mitchell—either ex¬ clusive or very rare.
So you will find this New Mitchell, in scores of ways, the most interesting car on the market.
The Prize Design
This body design stood out first at the Show. It was voted by women—and by
men — the handsoinest touring model ever created.
Body styles are like women's styles. The designer's favorite is often unpop¬ ular. The only way to get a winner is to take a vote—as we did.
As a result of that vote—covering 2.S7 models—we have a design which all will concede first place among cars of this season.
So with every new idea and equip¬ ment. They are not merely our concep¬ tions. They are all what people liked best at the Shows.
Exclusive Extras
Then this Mitchell includes 26 extra features—things other cars don't offer.
All are wanted—-all are things you'd miss. But they are costly and unusual. .So most makers ignore them, or else list them as extras.
We believe that fine cars oi this day should embody all known comforts and conveniences. So we add all we learn of or invent.
We vvill let you decide, when we point out these extras, if you would wish any left out.
John W. Bate Pays for All of Them
These extras dtjii't show in the price of the Mitchell. In fact, no other car of this size and grade sells at the Mitchell price.
All of these extras arc paid for by fac¬ tory savings. And those savings are due to John W. Bate, thc efficiency expct.
Mr. Bate built this ]>lant, covering 4.S acres. He equipped it with 2092 modern machines. He builds in this plant 98 per cent of this car, under Bate efficiency methods.
He builds it for half what it vvould have cost, even five years ago. He builds it for less than any other factory could build a similar car. And for 20 per cent less than any factory which buys a large share of its parts.
This is the model factory of America building high-grade cars. John W. Bate has worked out 10,000 savings. That is the reason for all these Mitchell extras.
This is the only car with Bate ('anti- lever springs, which double the ease of riding.
This is the car which 37 noted engi¬ neers have selected for their personal car.
This is the car which holds the world's road endurance record. Six .Mitchell cars have averaged 164,372 miles each—an average 30-year service.
Every motor car enthusiast should come and inspect this car.
With high-Hpecd economical six-cylinder en¬ gine of enornioui powi-r: wheelba«e, 127 in.; anii-.ikid tire» on rear; complete equipnient, In¬ cludinK engine driven tire- pump, reversible headlights, etc.
