This is the '5Thornhill'' Wagon,
the Wagon that Must Make Good

The best known materials-the labor
of master workmen-the aid of the most
ingenious modern machinery have been
employed to make the Thornhill wagon.
The wheels are made with excessive
care. For the spokes the manufacturers
iase the finest hickory-machine driven
to insure the right dish. The hubs are
of oak, thoroughly seasoned and banded
with double refined sable iron.
The holsters are of the best white oak.
They have an iron plate at top and bot
tom, riveted through and through-mul-
.tiplying their strength.
The "Thornhill''' has malleable front
hound plate that is braced to the hounds
at all points. This is an exclusive

"Thornhil1' wagons are equipped with
long sleeve malleable non-breakable

favor President Wilson's supposed pro-
gram OF an army of half a million men,
there Is distinct sentiment in favor
OF an army larger than our present

Guard, to supplement the regular army.

Her position was more onerous than
That of any other First Lady since
Martha Washington. not only because
OF the number Of United States officials

THE STORY TELLER.
WHY HE WAS GENEROUS.

An ingenious clerk In the British Al.
miralty was asked by a gentleman with
whom he had slight acquaintance
whether he might come to his room to
see a review of the troops. Certainly"
replied the clerk. May 7 bring my
wife," Yes" Il have two daughters:
may they come by all means" A
second time the gentleman called to ask
whether few nieces might be added to
the band. To this the clerk cheerfully
assented. I'VE cannot be sufficiently
grateful to you" said the gentleman.
"for enabling us to have so good a view
Of the review" 81 am afraid" answered
the clerk. that you and your family will
not see very much of it, for my room

to influence others by example rather
than by exciting fear.
Bryan is both right and wrong. He Is
correct as regards both party and nation
when he holds that Wilson'S defence
proposition is a departure from tradi-
tons. The attitude of the Democratic
party ever since the Civil War has been
that OF uncompromising opposition to
anything approaching a large standing
army In this respect the Democratic
party's position has come to be that of
the nation. Bryan is correct, therefore,
also when he says the Presidents de-
fence plan Is a reversal Of our national
policy.

1t goes without saying that Bryan
will have a large following in oppos-
ing the Presidents plan as tending to
endanger the peace and safety of the
nation. Some of the democratic leaders
IN Congress have already indicated their
disagreement with the President as re-
ards defence, and as the war clouds
generated by the controversy with Ger
many dissipate into thin air. there will
be recurrence of national disinclina-

FURS FOR FIRST SQUAW.'
Indians Securing Forests for Fitting
Tribute to Mrs. Gait.


Tribute to Mrs. Gait.
The Blackfoot Indians Of the Glacier
National Park reservation, northeastern
Montana, are preparing to honor Mrs
Norman Gait fancee of President Will
son, and a descendant of Pocahontas, by
mailing as her wedding gift what will
probably be the most elaborate assortment
Of furs ever given to a single person. This
set Of furs. embracing skins from IS ami
mails. Is the Indians idea of the proper
material for the making OF cloak for a
squaw of nations chief-especially since
that squaw is to be the first having real
Indian blood ever to live in the big White
Tepee at Washington.
This collection Of furs will not be COM
plete until the last of November or tho
first week in December, II Is thought. The
best Indian hunters Of the reservation
Medicine Owl. Wolf Plume. Lazy Boy,
Fish Wolf Robe and Two Guns White
Calf. included-are now securing the
mountain country that lies just south of
the Canadian border in quest OF the best
furs to be had They already have bag
ged fine specimens Of Rocky mountain
goat. Big Horn sheep. elk. four kinds Of
bear, a moose. weasel, mink and marten.
Some of the more valuable pieces OF
the collection OF furs that are to be sent
to the next first lady of the land have
been in the possession Of the Blackfoot
chief for a half century. Notable among
these rs a white buffalo skin-a calf buff
falo. There Is a legend connected with
this rare skin, which Is cherished by
the Blackfoots. Chief Three Bears has
refused repeatedly fabulous offers from
fur collectors for this particular skin.
| When the collection Is completed ar
rangements will be made with the Interior
department for Chief Three Bears. now

with his precious bundle Of furs and make
his presentation to Mrs Gait. Accord
Ing to Indian custom. the presentation
will be made a week or so before the
date set for the marriage, 80 the distin-
guished squaw will have time to prepare
her trousseau."
While 1t Is not at all likely Mrs. Gait
! will follow out the idea OF the Indians in
using these furs to make into one gor-
geous cloak there will be enough fur in
the collection to trim all the dresses she
will care to wear during the next few
winters-provided the present styles con-

THE LATEST NOTE TO GREAT
nRITAIN

After inexcusable delay and the work
ing Of inestimable injury to American
commerce. the Wilson administration
has at last reached the point OF pro-
testing in unequivocal terms against the
British order-in council. issued on March
ports as we'll as interferes with all
neutral commerce, no matter what It's
character.
Secretary Lansing has sent a note to
the British government in which he de-
clares that the so-caled blockade insti-
tuted by the allies is ineffective, illegal
and indefensble." England is warned
, that the American government can not
submit to the curtaiment of its neutral
rights and that it can not with COM
placene suffer further subordination of
its rights and interests
Inasmuch as eight months have elapsed
since England as the chief naval power
among the allies issued notice of n
blockade which has been made to inter-
European countries it is somewhat late
in the day to make up our minds that
the inexcusable encroachment on our
rights can no longer be tolerated
If we could be assured that the admin
istration would insist upon immediate
cessation of this unwarranted interfer-
with rnight
overlook the intolerable delay in de-
handing the recognition of American
rights and the freedom of the commerce
of the people of the United States from
Nnwarranted interference. What We
have to fear is the continuation of this
anterminable argument instead Of an ex-
press order to England to stop it."
The recent seizure of an American
ship in passage from one port to an
other without cargo is but one iNustra.
ton Of the lengths to which the British
war vessels have gone in encroaching
on our marine rights. II other instances
ships have been seized and detained for
months without recourse In many
cases a delay OF several months amounts
TO practical confscation of a cargo.
and experiences OF this kind serve to
stop American commerce to a dis
couraging degree.
Now 1t would be easily possible to
continue this formal change of courte-
ously worded diplomatic notes until
doomsday, and thus enable the British
in the meantime TO do their worst with
our commerce. What tho people want
is the prompt cessation Of British inter
ference with our trade with neutral
ports. There is nothing IN International
law to warrant such Interference. and
the way to stop 1t Is to cease quibbling,
and insist that England respect our
rights Now"

are high will be interested to know that
present conditions are not so bad that
they could not be much worse. An old

prices on the common commodities OF
