A Reader Hopes His Wife Will Never
Try That Method.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Alice Edith Abel has again raised
that dead Joke about women having more
influence without the ballot than with IT,
I supposed that of the few persons VINO
ever did imagine such a thing, all had
given the question some serious thought
or had read a little Of the good which
has been accomplished by the aid OF
woman's vote which never had been ac-
complished without il. She must GER
tainly know that il has taken forty years
TO get the vote in nine states and a few
countries. She must know how hard
women have worked in tho churches and
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and how little has been accom-
plished. She must know that besides the
vote woman has more influence with Il
than she would have without It.
Now, will the men who have ever been
influenced TO change their vote because
women have not the same right please
them? And then she can count the
women who vote where they are allowed
to do so and see which is the greater
number.

The silver wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. VIM. Starke, celebrated last Thurs
day, fell so close to our press time
that 1t was impossible to give a full
account of the event. We ommitted

valuable presents in sivlerware and
they were so numerous that it requir-
ed large table to hold them all.
Rev. Menzel officiated and touched
his hearers with a beautiful eulogy
on long and continued happy married
life as marks the union of Mr.. and
Mrs. Starke. Friends from Carson,
Reno and other towns were present
at the wedding and remand for the
dance given in the hall

NEW PRICE OF FORD CARS

As a part of the new efficiency pro-
gram of the Ford Automobile COM
pany of Detroit. Mich. the present
price of all tpyes of the Ford car is
lowered materially. the cut taking
effect on August LIST, and on or about
August 1st, 1915. all those who pur-
shase Ford cars between now and
then will receive a special rebate of
from $40 to $50. according to the
type of car bought, providing that tht
output of the Ford factory between
now and August list, 1915. reaches or
passes the 100000 mark. 1t has
been estimeted that if the output
reaches this number the maximum
of mechanical efficiency can be reach
ed in the factory, and at the same
time the purchasing agents will be
enabled to buy with the maximum o.
economy because of the large guam
titles of material necessary.
Starting on August 1st Ford ears
in Gardnerville and every other city
in the United States will be sold as
follows: Runabonts, $40. touring
ears, 1890 and town cars coupe

Increased production is given As
the reason for the present reduction
in prices of Ford cars. The ro
duction amounts to $50 on both the
touring cars and the roadster typa,
and brings these machines down to a
remarkably low price
One of the important things to
make clear regarding prices of Ford
cars is while they are guaranteed "a
