Contracts for the construction Of
the plant of the Standard Four Tire

at the meeting of the directors of the

y. Richards, superintendent, who with
J.. R. Beaver, the president, made a
special trip here yesterday to hold
the meeting, and start the plans at
once.
At this meeting held yesterday, Of

j. R. Beaver, president of the COM
pany, said last night that it was the

teenth. A contractor was at the meet
ing yesterday, and the plans were
considered with him.
The factory building will be Of one
story, and will give ample room for
additions. The factory buildings OF
the, present day are practically all
being constructed one-story high, Mr..
Beaver said. The material and other
details have not been fully worked
out. The layman may not realize it,
but the material must be carefully
chosen, for there must be absolutely

MALE ANTI NOT UNFAIR, JUST
UNIFORMED
by DR.. Anna Howard 81

by DR.. Anna Howard Shaw
"The fundamental reason
for the prejudice that the anti
suffrage man brings to the dis
cussion Of woman suffrage to-
day is not due to any desire on
his part to be unfair to women,
it is simply that he has failed
to grasp the fact that women
are human. Men are usually
very fair to other men.
''The average man will say to
himself: Because I am a human
being | have a right to every
thing which in any way bene-
fits me as a human being; and
the government is under obliga-
ton to confer upon me such pol
itical powers as shall enable me
to control and regulate the con-
ditions under which | live and
labor And then he looks into
the face of his brother man and
says: Whatever is fair and
Just for me isf air and just for
him. The average man is per-
fectly fair and just in consider
ing this problem in regard to
other men.
1T is when he is considering
women instead of men that the
average man forgets the funda-
mental principles of justice,
Righteousness and freedom and
begins to talk about my wife,
my mother, my sister, my
daughter He does not think of
women as human, but merely as
related to human beings. We
are related to human beings.
We would not want it to be 9TH
erwise but we are also human.
Every political right confer
red upon man belongs to him,
not because he is a male, but be-
cause he is human, and to wo-
man, not because she is a fe-
male, but because she, too, is hui
man. If a man has no right to
self-government because he is
a man but has a right to self
government because he is hui
man, the woman has no right to
self-government because she is
a woman but has right to self
government because she is hui
man. 1t is this fundamental
principle of democracy which
underlies the whole woman suf-
frage movement.

ENTERTAINMENT FOR
EVERYBODY

People have a thousand and
one ways of amusing themselves
in the summer time, but as win
ter approaches, with its long
evenings, everybody reads more
or less.
You do a little visiting, but
most of your evenings are spent
at home, and it is a wise thing
to provide your family with a
sufficient amount of reading
matter, so that every member
of the family may have some
thing useful and interesting to
read.
Look over the club of maya
zines advertised in this paper.
There is a magazine, for every
member of the family. You are
doubtless already familiar with
these popular publications. They
contain bright, interesting sto-
ries, articles on fashion, music
and art, photographs of the big
events in all parts of the world
and practical helps and sugges-
lions on every phase of daily life.
The four magazines come to
you monthly for a whole year.
You will learn to look forward
to these monthly visits and their
arrival will be bright spots thru
out the coming year. Send us
your order today. Do it before
you forget it. The extra cost
is to little that it is hardly
worth considering.

his pupils, to the boy who would
make the gest piece of compost
tion in five mintes on "How to
Overcome Habit" he would
give a prize. When the five
minutes had expired a lad Of
nine years stood up and said:
"Well, sir, habit is hard to over
come. If you take off the first
letter it does not change 'abit.'
If you. take off another letter,
you still have a bit left. If
you take off still another, the
whole of it remains. If you
take off aonther it is not totally
used up, all of which goes to
show that if you want to get
rid of habit you must throw it
off altogether" Result-he

TO BE FACIN ATING

Doubtless thousands of young
people, and not a small number
of older ones, wish every day of
their-live that they could learn
TIE secret of fascinating others
by means of their graceful, ex-
quisite manner. The secret is
an open one. 1t is easy to learn
that it lies all neglected by the
waSsidc, while they who would
give their dearest treasure to
find it pass unknowingly.
1t is only this: Fill your heart
with good will toward every
body, and then practice at all
times the best manners you
know, particularly at home. If
You begin at home, this charm
ing manner will, SO to speak, get
settled on you and never leave
you. Be just as polite to your
best girl. Strive to gain the
good will of mother, father, and
brothers, and sisters, and chill
dren, exactly as you strive to
gain good will abroad.
