Manted-A little Girl.

Where have they gone to, the little
girls
With their natural manners and nat
ural curls,
Who love their dollies and like their
toys
And talk of something besides the
boys?
Little cid bellies who at nine and ten
Are sick of pleasures and tired of men;
Weary of travel, of balls, of fun,
And find no new things under the sun.
Once, in the beautiful long ago,
Some dear little children l used to
know,
Girls who were merry as lambs at play,
And laughed and frolicked he livelong
day.
They thought not at all Of the styles
OF lnelT ClOIues,
They never imagined that boys were
"beaux"-
Other girls brothers and mates were
they!
Splendid fellows to help them play,
Where have they gone to? If you see
One of them anywhere, send her to me
l would give a medal of prest gold
To one of those dear little girls of old
With an innocent heart and open
smile
Who knows not the meaning of "firt'
or style!

one of Chicago's policewomen.
Would you say it would be a good
thing for woman to serve a short

FORDS ARE PARAMOUNT.
Reliability, Durability, Small Repair
Bills and Cheapness Make
it the Best.

Since the announcement of re-
duced prices on Ford cars Saturday,
the Brookhaven Motor Co., the
Fords' energetic agents here,
state that there has been a large
influx OF prospective buyers MAX
ing inquiries of them The new
prices now make the owning of an
auto practical with almost anyone
who is able to purchase a good
horse and buggy. and the motor
cars advantages are without ques-
tioD.
Besides low prices quoted in an
ad elsewhere there is every good
reason to expect that the buyer
will git $40 to $50 returned to him
by August ! next year. if the de-
mand reaches 100000 cars from
August /, 1918. to August /. 1914,
221 1888 Fords were sold, so there is
every reason to believe that the
new market will be reached with
the demand increasing as it is.
One Ford owner right here in
BrookhaVen who purchased a car
last year has run it 1900 miles and
has not had even the smallest part
on the car to break. which shows
