Here's a cinch bet that is being
passed along the line: Neither
Hughes or Wilson will take the office
for president of the United States on
! March 4, 1917 You may think it Is
! like taking candy from baby TO snap
up this bet, but don't do It Thos.
uxauSluR Will NO ~ CoANSAS - 49,
United States on March 4, 1917. This
| Is the truth, for it happens that
March 4 falls on Sunday, and by Gus
| tom Inauguration day cannot be OBJ
served on this day. Both President
Wilson and Vice President Marshall
terms expire on that day and SO the
lob of running the country falls on
Secretary Of State Lansing. He is
| not only president in name but has
all the powers that are connected
| with the position. He may appoint
men, receive diplomats and occupy
| the white house If he wishes he
NAV even go so far as to be the
outgoing president on Monday and
deliver a farewell speech and wei
come the new president. Poor BY
an. If he only hadn't been SO
hasty about resigning.

The automobile has invaded Nau-
WOO to such an extent that we feel Il
| incumbent to utter these timely and
most excellent words Of advice to
owners of Immediately local cars:
Remember If your motor hasn't
horse sense and you haven't got 1t,
nut your machine in the junk pile at
once. Remember, it isn't either an
indication Of a good machine or OF
good sense TO be always trying to get
ahead OF somebody on the road
Don't try to show yourself a Digger
fool than you are by endeayoring tc
| beat the record. Motorists should
frame this and paste 1t on theii
| windshfelds.
! If your nerves are out Of whack
and the doctor prescribes rest and
outdoor life, apply Tor the job OF
helping the building of the -Nauvoo
and Fort Madison interurban line.
No sanitarium has more to offer.
Nearly every resident -of Nauvoo
that can, is getting connected with
our water works system. "A water
| works plant is a fine thing for any
town to have. even though you have
good wells and cisterns.
