IS Time TO THINK IT OVER
ARE SOME INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT THE FORD
An Automobile That Stands the Test
Some Substantial Reasons for
Buying This Make of Car

Wherever you find FORD owner you
find FORD booster" There must be
a practical reason for such universal
satisfaction. There were $50, 600 motor
cars made in America for the market
of 1911. More than SO, 600 FORD MODEL
7. cas- -c-e made and delivered to pur-
chasers in 1911. This means that FORD
MODEL 7. was demanded by the people
in ratio of about one to four of all
other makes of motor cars combined.
Ii is estimated, accepting al claims,
that there will be 225, 600 cars made for
1912. We will build rs, 90 FORD MODEL
T. cars, which means that every third
car sold during 1912 will be a FORD
MODEL 7.
Is not the judgment and experience
of such great majority safe guide
for you in buying motor car?
Every FORD dealer agrees, under his
contract, to carry inadequate supply of
FORD parts. AS FORD Dealers nearly
4, 600 of them are distributed all over
the country, it is rarely possible that
you travel fifty miles in any direction
without coming in contact with one or
more of them.
Another pleasing fact is that FORD
parts are exceptionally reasonable in
price. This is another feature char
acteristic of FORD policy. You can
buy the parts in a FORD MODEL T., one
at time, and assemble the car COM
plete for the same money that you can
/ buy it assembled and ready to run from
the dealer. Get the Parts Price List"
of any other car and compare the prices
with the prices for FORD parts. Then
you'll get practical example of FORD
economy for FORD owners.
The FORD salesman, dealer and man
ager can look every Ford dealer in the
eye, with the confidence that each pur-
chaser of the FORD car paid identically
the same price for the same car. He
knows that every man who sells FORD
car stands upon identically the same
footing; knows that his company stands
behind the car; knows that he repre-
sents the best in the automobile world:
knows that be is there to take care Of
FORD owners, to give every helpfulness
possible, and that his company IS be-
lind him in his effort; knows that he
will be treated literally, honestly, pleas
antly.
FORD MODEL T is not cheap car
it is the highest price quality car in
the world, none excepted. Yet it is
sold at the lowest price. Catalogue

Mr.. Puio Calls Up settlers Claims.


Editor Cotag Chronicle:
| read an article in your paper
of June oath calling upon Louisi-
ana Congressman to take some
action in regard to the suit pend
ing in the United States Court,
against the New Orleans Pacific
Railroad Company, in behalf of
the settlers upon what is known
as Railroad Lands" And /
herewith beg leave to call your
attention to a clipping taken from
the Times-Democrat, which will
show the interest that Hon. A.
P. Pujo, member of Congress
from the 7th Congressional Dis
trict is taking in this matter, and
| ask you to publish same in your
paper. Yours respectfully,
SECRETARY A. P. PUJO.
The clipping referred to shows
that the continuous efforts of the
Chronicle to have Congress act
in the matter of the settlers
claims is beginning to bear fruit,
and is as follows:
Washington, Aug. IA. Repre-
sentative Pujo has taken up with
the Department of Justice the
matter of litigation against the
New Orleans Pacific Railway
Company, instituted many years
ago for the cancellation of GER
tain patents issued to taht COM
pany for land which had been
previously located by bona fide
settlers who desired to homestead
it, and whose rights were reserv-
ed under the Blanchard Robert
son compromise.
Many of Mr.. Pujo's constitu-
ents have complained at the leth-
argy of the department in bring
ing about a speedy disposition of
this case.
Willis N. Moore of the Depart
ment of Justice has been instruct
ed to make an investigation and
report without delay. Should
action not be taken in the near
future, it is Mr.. Pujo's intention,
when Congress convenes in regu-
lar session, to introduce a reso-
luton instructing the department
to proceed with vigor in the sub
mission of the case, so that the
title to these lands may be decid-
ed one way or the other.

In the Chronicle this week will
be found an account of the death
of Col. Adam Clark, veteran edi-
tor, citizen and Confederate SOL
der. In January, 1867, H.>G.
Goodwin, the present editor of
the Colfax Chronicle, as an ap-
prentice entered the Office of the
Camden Herald. owned by Clark
& Gaulding, and from that time
until death claimed him Adam
Clark has been our firm personal
friend, just as he has been the
friend of all who knew him and
valued genial kindness and true
Christian character. We give
place to his obituary in sorrow,
but take pride in the life and
character of the man who has
made the world happier and bet
ter for his living.

Prest. Taft vetoes the Bill for Two New
States.

u
States.
President Taft on the 18th We
toed the joint Congressional reso-
luton providing for the admission
of New Mexico and Arizona to
Statehood. His veto is based on
the recall features of the Arizona
constitution, and the two propos-
ed States being embodied in the
same bill, both are defeated. He
declares the feature of the recall
of judges in the Arizona consti-
tuition is "pernicious in effect, /"
and so destructive of independ-
ence in the judiciary, so likely to
subject the rights of the individ-
ual to the tyranny of a popular
majority, and, therefore so inju-
rious to the cause of free govern
ment, l must disapprove a con-
stitution containing it." He de-
clares that in a popular govern
ment the laws are made by the
people not all the people-but
by those competent for that pur-
pose, as males over Il, and then
only by a majority of these. But,
he declares, the government is
not only for this majority but for
all the people, and that a popu-
lar government is "a govern
ment of the whole people, by a
majority of the whole people un-
der such rules and checks as will
secure a wise, just and beneficial
government for all the people.
The Presidents objection is so
evidently founded upon the basic
principle of the American consti-
tuition, recognized and tried by
England, and proven by the ex-
perience of Republics from the
days of Sparta, Greece and Rome,
it is hardly possible that the nee
essary two-thirds majority can
be found to pass the law over his
veto. 1t is thought the bill will
be put in shape for the President
approval by the elimination OF
the clause providing for judici-
airy recall.

Grant Parish Leads in Road Construc-
ton.

ton.
Construction on the extension
of the model road to Pollock is
to begin at once. This is a pro-
gressive movement in the right
direction, and, in view of our
Parish Fair soon to be held at
that place, is quite fortunate.
1t puts Grant parish in the lead
of all the parishes in the State
for road construction under the
new law, and directs most favor
able attention to the advantages
of this community. In the mat
ter of schools, fertile lands, and
all that goes to make a place de-
sirable for homes, Grant stands
abreast with any parish in the
State, and receives credit accord
ingly. That was brought out
forcibly at the meeting of the
police jury last Monday, when
Mr.. Lombard announced, that,
because some of the parishes had
fallen down in their efforts to
get in line to share in State aid
to good roads, there were more
funds available than had been
first counted on. and as Grant
had made good and was in line,
we could share in this fund for
the Pollock extension.
