just how enfranchising women works
out in the states where it has been
tried. She was at one time clerk of the
senate in Denver; has held positions of
Importance on the staff of several of
Depver's largest newspapers; and is the
wife of the well-known editorial writer,
Ralph Payne Benedict, of that city. She
numbers among her close personal
friends Judge Ben Lindsay and George
Creel.
Mrs. Albert Mcmahon, of Minneap-
oils, State Organizer for Minnesota
Suffrage Assn, arranged for Mrs.
Benedict's meeting in Cresco, as she
passed through on her way to Mason
City from DEBORAH in which city she
has just spoken, five times in three
days.
Certainly we are going to win,
said Mrs. McMahon, when interviewed
for the "Plain Dealer" if we can only
get to the mass of the people fast
enough. We are working to capacity,
but, you know, suffragists are always
handicapped for lack of money, etc.
The enthusiasm is growing by leaps
and bounds. however. have only
been in this Congressional District, and
Howard County is the only county in
the district which has not a live group
of women working their hardest to
carry their county. hope every one
will hear Mrs. Benedict She is per.
sonally charming and a wonderful
speaker. Then, too, this is q chance
for every one who has doubt in his or
her mind about how enfranchising wo-
men will work to come and get correct
information from one who knows. l
wish every one would bring question
either written or in his mind, so We
could have full and free discussion.

FORD MANAGERS PLEASED.
Local Agents Tell of Convention al
Detroit Plant.

K. p. Jones, manager, and w. g. Ely
non, assistant manager of the Wash
ington branch of the Ford Motor Com
pany, have just returned from "a ten
day convention of branch managers at
the factory in Detroit.
1T was a remarkable convention
said Mr.. Jones on his return, and one
of Importance to both the company and
the automobile industry, because the
selling organization which these branch
officials represent has sold more than
s625, 100000 worth of motor cars since
the foundation of the company. There
were representatives present from the
twenty-eight branches and fifty-one
sales and service branches throughout
the United States. Paris and England.
Many saw for the first time the ma
chinery and production systems by
which the raw material is turned into
parts on a scale sufficient to turn out
over 1000 cars a day. With the in
stallation of labor-saving machinery
the number of employees in the factory
has grown in one year from $4,000 to
more than $4,000. Over 100000 visitors
took this trip through the factory last
year.
1t is expected that 100000 Ford cars
will be sold this year. More than
1,155.000 are now in use.

To Limit Weight Borne.

"AlI that can be done in the way of
regulation is to limit the weight borne
by each inch in width Of tire and not
allow the use Of any Tugs or cleats
which might tear up the road surface.
In addition to this 1t Is also necessary
to limit the speed at which a given load
might be carried. The limiting of load
borne by horse-drawn vehicles is i'm
portant because Of the tendency to use
narrow tires Speed. Of course. is not
a factor with this type. but carrying
heavy loads on narrow tires is factor
tending materially to destroy our pave
ments.
Rules and regulations were put for
ward tentatively In the state of New
York with the expectation that increas-
ing experience would necessitate addi-
