Your kind of car is waiting for you.
Your can take your family 20 miles
with 20 cents worth of gasoline. That
is cheap enough.
And it will save easily more than its
cost in actual time-saving, even if the
owners time is not worth more than IS
a day.
Vanity is foolish, but the automobile
has nothing to do with vanity or show.
With the Ford car, the business
man can live in the country more con-
veniently than in the city.
The car takes him to his work or to
his suburban train. It does all the
brands for the family. The wife can
run it. 1t takes the children to school.
In hot summer weather it makes a
summer home of the little house thirty
miles from the lake-two hours in re-
freshing, swift moving air, bath in
the lake, the ride home-all the happy
family. That is just one thing that
the low priced motor will do among a
thousand things.
The day of the automobile is only
beginning. Join the army of automo-
bile owners.
Get the best, study the subject,
know your own car thoroughly.
Get a Ford.

Get an Automobile

Eagles live to be a hundred years
old-and older. Fresh air does that
| for them.
The automobile will do for you
what the eagles wings do for him.
Get an automobile.
The trout, living in swift running
water, is marvellous for speed, health,
gameness and beauty. Water to him
is what air is to you. Plenty of swift
moving water means a brilliant fish.
Plenty of swift moving air means a
healthier, more brilliant human being.
Nothing is more dismal than the wide
mouthed sucker fish, lying at the bot
tom OF the stagnant pond-get an auto
mobile.
Now is the time to realize that the
marvels of automobile building and
using are only beginning.
You can buy for $3.50 Ford auto
mobile that would be worth 5000
if it could not be bought for less.
Where thousands of automobiles
have been sold tens of thousands will
be sold.
Whoever talks OF national "automo-
bile extravaganza" might as we'll talk
OF railroad extravaganza. We need
automobiles as we need railIoads-and
before long good roads plus cheap ma
chimes will make the motor more i'm
portant than the steam car in passen-
ger carrying.
The dull minded take out their lit
tie pencils and calculate how much
automobiles have cost the country.
What OF it
Railroads have cost the country
thirteen thousand million dollars for
construction alone-and scores OF thou
sands Of millions for upkeep-and they
have been cheap at the price, We
need more railroads.
Automobiles are cheap at their price
and we need more, millions more.
This country needs a machine for
every one of its six million prosperous
farmers. The machine will make ev-
cry one OF those farms more prosperous,
saving the farmers time, leaving the
horses for slow farm work, giving the
poor wife chance to stop drudgery,
making the young man content to stay
on the land.
Every one OF our millions of farm
ers needs car and will have it.
Every business man. plumber, car
penter, butcher, baker, needs and will
have car.
Why talk of the lend of the auto
mobile boom" when there is no boom;
when any sane man can see in the
country now FIVE millions of citizens
without car that should have one and
could use it economically.
AS well talk OF an end of the cleo
tric light boom or gas boom" as OF an
automobile boom.
The motor has helped men to con-
quer space-it is here to last forever,
and its only competitor will be the
safe, cheap flying machine-still some
distance away.
The flying machine, never failing,
using no tires, with good air roads all
around this planet, will be the great
distance killer.
While waiting for that, get an auto
mobile.

PRESIDENT WILSON AND

ID CAhl Ell
PRESIDENT WILSON Saturday de
livered a splendid address to the Y.
M. C. A. at Pittsburg, Pa. On next
Sunday Judge Alex Carter will deliv-
er an address at Benton City on TEN
perance. We presume that those who
claim that Judge Carter should be
scratched because he is making tenn
perance speeches because there is
nothing in the Democratic platform
about Temperance, are in favor Of
scratching President Wilson because
there is nothing about the Y, NJ. c. A
in the platform. Is it possible that
any member of the Democratic party
is opposed to a mar being elected tC
office because he is making temper
ance speeches? DON'T you suppose
that if President Wilson lived in Au
drain County, he would be found cor
daily endorsing Judge Carriers posi-
ton on the questions now at ISSUE
here.
Why was Judge Carter scratched a
the Primary? Why are some Demo
Gratis conspiring with Republicans tt
defeat him at the general election
when they could find no Democrat t.
run against him at the Primary?
Have you read the letter abou'
Judge Carter being sent out to Re
publican voters by the Audrain Re
