The Won Hamm Young Co. has this
week in its salesroom. one of the
magnificent model 69%T Overland

In 1909 when the Overland entered
upon its new career, under the manu-
featuring and selling policies 'inaugur-
ated by President John N. WHY'S,
four thousand Overland automobiles
were built f'iiss 70
That was no small accomplishments
four years ago. The cars bore the
stamp of so high a quality and created
SO great a demand that the production
was increased to 1880 cars in 1910.
In. 1911 the production jumped to
10000, rising to 22,S0O cars in 1912.

4 MESSAGE
To Feeble Old People.

As one grows old the waste Of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil. is the ideal
strengthener and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys-
tenn against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice of Alexander Hamil-
ton, over eighty years of age, once
remarked: "Vinol is a godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, l have a
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and we'll. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator l have ever
used"
II vinol fails to build. up the
feeble old people, and create
strength, we will return your money

HAS 1T. The merchants must
awaken to the fact that the pur-
chasers of the country are not
mind-readers. If the merchant
puts new line of goods on his
shelves, the buyers must be told
about it before these goods are
moved. How many lines of goods
have grown dusty on shelves in
Mt. Sterling because they
were inferior goods-but because
the people did not know they were
there.
Printers Ink is the answer. Mr..
Merchant, THE ADVOCATE stands
ready and willing to help you pro-
tect yourself against the mail-order
evil. Our cooperation is at your
command. Ask for it.

Prescription.

This prescription for the remov-
al of freckles was written by a
prominent physician and is usually
so successful in removing freckles
and giving clear, beautiful COM
plexion that it is sold by w. S.
Lloyd under an absolute guaran-
tee to refund the money it it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under
a veil; get an ounce of othine and
remove them. Even the first few
applications should show a won
derful improvement, some of the
lighter freckles vanish entirely.
Be sure to ask the druggist for
double strength othine; it is this

$4,000 Free Meals
for the Veterans.

In commemoration Of t h e
bloody battle at Chickamauga so
years ago, Chattanooga announces
perfection of the plans for enter
tainment of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans and the Sons who
will hold their 23rd annual Re-
union May 27.29. High officials
of the G.. A. K. state that Chatta-
nooga's expenditures for enter
tainment and amusement, etc.,
will be on a more lavish scale than
was ever necessary for their meet
ings, even surprising the high
water mark at Los Angeles.
1t is expected that in Chatta-
n )oga that upward of 10000 vet
Grams will be present, all of whom
will be rendered free lodging and
meals at Camp Alexander P.
Stewart. Some fellow with a love
for statistics has figured that this
means the service of la, 1000 free
meals in the course of four days.
The requisite number of Govern
ment tents and cots have been
loaned by the War Department.
The year 1913 will perhaps mark
the last pilgrimage of the most of
the veterans of 1853 to ground
made sacred by the heroes of the
Blue and Gray on the heights
and in the shadow of Lookout
Mountain.

Be good to the Rubbernecks.
They are the people who find time
to attend the weddings, and who
make the public opinion that de-
cides if the bride looked pretty or
was fright. They also attend
the funerals, and it is through
them that busy people learn if the
corpse looked natural, aod if the
relatives were as grief-stricken as
they should have been. They de-
eide if woman's new dress is be-
coming; if a girl makes good
match; if new baby is pretty
they make sentiment that is favor
able or opposed to a girls singing,
her piano playing, or her rccita-
tons in public. They are the
opinion makers; be good to them.

cal thing to do to combat this in

the method pursued by the mail

out in Chicago unless they had
some means of telling the people

Montgomery county is paying toll
to the yearly dividends of 1909
mail-order combinations, one of
which cleared seven millions of
dollars last year.
Where should the money that is
going to these companies really be
going? 1t is up to the merchant
to answer. Are you, Mr.. Mer-
chant, willing to allow this con-
dition to longer exist or are you
willing to fight the mail-order

Printers Ink" and fair profit.
The printers ink man is waiting.
As, in all instances, there is
another side to this question. The
man that buys the goods from the
mail-order houses is by no means
wholly to blame. The merchant
is equally at fault.
The mail-order houses go to the
trouble and expense of sending
the list of their goods to his home.
They describe the article; they tell
him the price of it; they give him
all the information he desires.
Packed away in the merchants
warehouse is, perhaps, the same
article. But, has he told his Gus
toner that he has IT'D If the Gus
toner does not know it, and
naturally presumes that the mail
order man has better proposition,
isn't is reasonable to suppose that
he will order from the mail-order
man.
People will buy from mail-order
houses just so long as they can get
the same article that the local
merchant sells for less money.
But this they connot do. If the
merchants were to look into mail
order sales they would find in
most every instance that they
could duplicate the order for the
same or less money. THE

What are the Merchants
GOlnQ to DO About II?

ing 1912 from sales made in the
rural districts of the nations, is it
not about time that the country
merchants we're looking into the
matter and preparing some ade-
quate means of defense to combat
this great national octopus which
threatens to undermine the very
principle of rural business, ex-
tending from the tiniest cross
roads store to the biggest National
bank in the county.
What are the merchants going
to do about it9 Is not this the
logical question that should be
faced by every man in business in
the rural districts today9
In Chicago the government con-
Quoted an investigation looking in
to the conditions in the big mail
order houses, where women were
paid starvation wages that were
the stepping stones to vice and i'm
morality, in order that the big
profits might not be molested. In
the course of this investigation,
some of the questions asked re-
vealed the colossal nature of some
of the figures that participate in
the yearly dividends declared by
the mail-order houses which do
business in Montgomery county,
and take from the local merchants
money which is rightfully theirs.
The Chicago mail-order mag
nate who admitted that his firm
cleared over seven millions of dol
lars in 1912 is member of but
one of the 100 similar firms in the
United States. These firms do
business on such a broad basis that
they can afford to cover the coun-
try in advertising of such a nature
that it forms a personal appeal to
every man and woman in every
county in the Nation. They place
their proposition before the pur-
chaser in such a gracious, tempt
ing style that the buyer-almost
before he is aware of it-has order
ed something from Chicago, which
is no cheaper than his home mer-
chant would sell it for, plus the
additional costs of expressage and
money orders, and the inconven-
fence of waiting it's arrival.
In Mt. Sterling few days ago
a lady called at one of the stores.
She had left an order for some
goods, and upon calling for them
the following conversation ensued
Lady: "Mr. - I'll have to ask
you to charge these goods"
| Merchant: "All right, madam,
we're always pleased to accommo-
date our customers"
Lady: You're very kind, indeed
You see l ordered a bill of goods
from Sears & Roebuck a few days
ago, and they just arrived G.. o.
d., so l had to pay cash for them. "
SEARS & ROEBUCK got the
lCASH-THE COUNTRY MER-
CHANT is ASKED FOR CRED
1T.
How often does this happen in
the course of year? Hundreds
of times, no doubt. The hard
ware dealer sells a wagon on credit
and Sears & Roebuck furnish the
harness for cash. The grocer
doles out his groceries on a charge
book, and a big mail-order house
sends down goods and takes away
the ready coin. The implement
dealer sells a planter in the spring
and waits until the crops are har-
vested for his money. Montgom-
cry, Ward & Company sells a
customer a carriage and collect
the toll.
What are the merchants going
to do about it9

A CRAZY MAN

In the fore part of January we
mentioned the fact that ! insane
man was roaming about EAST of
town and published 4 note written
by him and found in a haystack on
the Dewar ranch east of town. If
we are not mistaken. the note was
signed John Desmond and stated
that the writer was innocent of any
crime and that his hands we're free
from blood.
Since that time the man has been
seen around the Dewar ranch and
the last few weeks he made his
home at the Griswold ranch. Yes
terday he left that ranch and the
following note was found tackled
on the door:
