An Automobile Story.

You are no doubt thinking "AU-
TOMOBILE" by this time. There
is no way the same amount Of money
can be invested, from which a man
and his family get so much pleasure
as in an automobile. No money can
be better expended in a business way.
II you wish to 60 to church or visit
ing, distance cuts no figure, every
mile is a comfort and pleasure. An
automobile never gets. tired, never
sweats, never gets its tail. over the
line, fighting flies. When work is
done on the farm evenings, you can
turn your horses in the pasture aud go
to market and enjoy the ride. If in
town, shut the store and take a spin
out in the country twenty to fifty
miles. You can always do this with
a ''Ford.' It's, acknowledged to be
the most SIMPLE and PERFECT
light weight machine made. Tires
and tubes cost about hall what other
machines do and on account. OF the
light weight OF the machine, last'long-
er. The ''up-keep"" Of the kord is
the llghtest known. ANY one can
figure the difference between the
shock of a machine weighing 1900
lbs. and one weighing twice, that

yct.tnss Ford is made out OF material

An Old Citizen.

Mrs. Mary (Grandma) Huff.
born 1925, whose death occurred last
Friday at the home Of her son-in.la
Judge Barber, was buried in the Oak
Grove Cemetery the Sunday following,
the funeral services being conducted
by Rev. Z. ]. S.ddarth, OF Versailles.
Mrs Fluff was one Of our Oldest cit
liens, not only Oldest in years but old
est as a resident, having come here
nearly eighty years ago. She was
highly respected and those who know
her best will regret mos. to hear
she is gone. When we think Of it,
what a wonderful, wonderful span Of
history her life covers. The most
Interesting and progressive the world
has ever known and probably the
most the world ever WILL know,
for there will be just the same
conditions again for a country to ex-
pand. About the time Mother Huff
came into the world, La Fayettc was
visiting in St Louis. Napoleon Bone
parte had been dead about four years
and Abraham Lincoln was a sixteen
year old boy, hunting for a good tree
to make rails down along the Sanga-.
mon. At that time we had had about
five Presidents and Missouri had ele-
cted three Governors. There was not
a rod OF rail road in the United States
and only thirty four miles (such as it
was) in the world. No Steamboat
had ever plowed the muddy waters
Of the old Missouri. KansaS C:ty
was a row of wooden hills and hollows
and the greet city Of Chicago was no.
thing but a frog pond. Even Versailles
was not laid out and the great states
lying west Of US were a bowling Wild
erness, or an almost u%ntravelled prairie
with naugnt to break the Stiffness but
the whoop of the red men or the
laundering roll of the shaggy buftaly.
Long after that, the country that is
known as, one of the most fertile and
wealthy today, was shown on the
old Mentally maps as the "Great
American Desert" Not a telephone
nor telegraph Co stretehed'their sing
ing wires from home to home or town
to town. Our land was new. The
hunters rifle broke the stiffness of
twilight and dawn and naught else
was heard but the woodlands ak.
paving the way for the beautiful
homes, the splendid cities and the
mighty empires, that are ours today.
1t seems strange that n life would
span 1t all.

OF nemocrates would be with us.
The trouble generally with a Demo-
cat is, he only looks az, things from
one side. He will look at a ''bay"
oow all day from n side, OF at one
side of a. red horse and swear these
are bay apd red animals. a Repub-
!:can will, walk around on the other
,.de and maybe find that side OF the
old COW gray and. the other side OF
tie horse rather brindle. A Demo-
cat always see things from only one
s.de and then he never sees that until
rs gotten by him. We have been so
.Accessful in pleasing tic Democrats
We would like to nominate a Presi-

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
FOR " HULE NATION

When the steam LOCOMOTIVES, pulling
cars on rails, first came before the pub
lie, sad things were predicted. We know
pow that they can go one hundred miles
an hour-and without danger.
When the sewing machine was invent
ed 1t WAS said that women would be pu
out Of work; that where a hundred
women made living with the needle
there would be work enough only fol
ten with the sewing machine. The frs
man who invented the sewing machine
was persuaded by his wife to break NJ
the model in order not TO ruin the poor
women. But with the So wing machine
there are more women employed at sew
ing than ever before-ten to one.
When the spinning jenny came along
and Arkwright, the inventor, adued
thousands Of millions to the wealth OF
the world and clothed the population Of
the world, fools declared that working
men would be ruined and deprived c
labor. 1t was necessary to do the work
inside OF fortified factories to prevent
ignorant workingmen from DESTROYING
the machinery. Now, where one man
was employed more than ten are em.
ployed, and the wages are much higher.
1t was said after women got the bsllot
they would not use 1t. The prediction
was made that women would not take
the trouble to vote. But now women
are voting, and we find that 10 Cal,for-
MIA, for instance, lie proportion to their
numbers, more women than men went
to the polls. 10 other words, out of 100
women and 100 men, the percentage OF
women sufficiently interested to vote
was greater than the percentage Of men.
1t was mournfuIly predicted also that
attendance at the polls would be very
degrading to the women.
1t was said that rowdies and roughs
and the flower of rotton political organi.
z4tlous would insult the women. and
that 90 resp ciab'e woman could 90 to
the polls 10 safety
But now women are voting aud we fiod
that their attendance at the polls i'm
proves the tone of the voting place. The
Tact IS that women goii to the polls
are treated courteously Of the voters.
even 10y the attendants, usually repre-
Senting pretty low class of poliiical
heelers. And instead If women being
degraded by voting, the voting place
ard the voting privilege are elevated and
made better by the presence of women.
Women are all going to vote, and when
hey al vote chose that are IN office viii
