e. e, COULsON TO SELL
THE NEW DODGE OAR

Official announcement is made D,
Dodge Brothers, Detroit, Of the Sc
lection of E. E. Coulson to handle
the forthcoming Dodge Brothers
car in Dickinson county.
The rivalry on the part of dealers
to represent this new car has beer
intense, not only in Abilene, but
Throughout the county-as high al
81 applications having been receiV'
ed from dealers in some of the larg-
er cities. 1t is therefore a distinct
compliment to Mr.. Coulson that he
has been successful in securing this
most coveted agency.
Dodge Brothers are widely known
in the automobile industry as the
largest manufacturers of parts In
the world. It is stated on good au-
thority that they have supplied the
vital parts to over 100000 Of the
1,25O,OOO cars now in use in this
country.
Because of their tremendous man
ufacturing facilities, their big fin
ancial standing, and their wide ex-
perience in the manufacture OF
parts, 1t is generally conceded that
the car they will market this fall
will set new standard in automo-
bile values. Their car has been call
ed the "Car of Mystery" because Ut
the fact that no word has been given
out as to price, dimensions or equip
ment. In spite of this fact, the repu-
tation of Dodge Brothers is such
that the best dealers throughout the
country are taking on the line, "be-
cause" as Mr.. Coulson says, "it is
inconceivable that a concern Of the
character Of Dodge Brothers should
manufacture a car that would not
play a very large part in establish
ing automobile values for the flu
ture."
Dodge Brothers are fortunate in
securing such a representative deal
er in Dickinson county.
The success of the new car in the
hands of e. E. Coulson is assured.

Abilene WINS FINAL GAME. 20
Forward Pass and TAylOr's Run Beat
Manhattan Highs

!, A forward pass twenty yards dow
the field. Little TO Taylor. and Tay
lor's 30-yard run, enabled Abilene
highs to defeat Manhattan here
Thanksgiving day and crowned the
local eleyen's season with success
after a hard fought and prettily
played battle before the largest
crowd OF the year.
Abilene's touchdown came In the
last minute Of the second quarter.
The two teams were evenly matched
throughout the greater part Of the
disturbance, but the Abilene men
outfought M. d. Collins hopefuls
and the extra fight won. The game
was unusually interesting from the
spectators standpoint. both teams
using the open style Of play. A
punting duel between Briney and
Fairman was mixed In with the
forward passing. Briney had the
best of the kicking, his boots in one
quarter averaging 40 yards.
The first quarter neither team
gained much Of an advantage. An
exchange Of punts. with occasional
line plunges and q few forward flips
kept the ball in Manhattan territory
the major part OF the first period.
In the second period the teams
fought evenly until the quarter was
almost at an end, when Walters and
Taylor slipped out on one wing. The
ball was In the middle of the field.
When the play started Walters put
one man out of the running and
Taylor picked the pass out of the
air. Two Manhattan tacklers were
near, but instead of leaping upon
the fleet Abilene back, one tackler
made a weak attempt to grab Tay-
lor and the Abilene lad hiked away
for the touchdown. Walters kicked
goal.
In the fourth period the fighting
spirit Dresser's men displayed stav-
ed off a touchdown. Manhattan
rushed the ball to Abilene's 2O-yard
line, but was held for downs. Abb
lene punted, and Collins team again
up to the 2O-yard line and
again was held for downs.
A band met the Manhattan coach
and team at the train and gave them
a fine reception. The gate receipts
were about $175, and the athletic
will break even.

WHAT CAUSES COLDS? ?

This question and How to Prevent
Colds is asked a thousand times
every day. A cold is really fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able
to withstand the varying elements.

MORE RETRENCH|NC
At BIG STEEL PLANT
Bridge Shop Gets Big Cut; First
Layoff in This Department
in Many Years ;.

Further retrenchments were made
at the Steelton plant of the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company this morning,
when the number of employees in the
bridge shop was reduced The exact
number of men affected by this latest
cut, officials in Vice-President J. v.
w. Reynders department refuse to
say. Superintendent Thomas Earle,
of the bridge shop. however, places
the number at about fifty"
This is the first retrenchment in the
bridge shop for years. as this depart
ment has always had plenty of orders
and was operated at full capacity even
when all other parts of the plant were
suffering from the industrial depres-
sions. This is looked upon with Jig
niicance by the employees of the Steel
ton plant and rumors of further re-
ductions are persisting.
Efforts to verify any of these rumors
or to get any idea as to how far these
retrenchments will reach are met with
refusals to talk by the officials of
Vice-President Reynders' department.
81 can't tell you whether there will
be any further retrenchments or not"
said an official this morning, land I
can't tell you how many men are now
furloughed. but we are laying off men
every day."
