CLAYTON PUTTING ON
METROPOLITAN AIRS

The town of Clayton is surely put
ting on metropolitan airs these days.
At a recent meeting of the board an
ordinance was passed providing for
the parking of cars in the center of the
street Today the new town marshal,
Mr.. Kerlin began enforcing the ordi-
nance and soon had long string of
cars, little cars, big cars, old cars, new
cars yes all kinds of cars lined up in
the middle of the street. This was
sure some sight, and when "Big Mon
day" roll around again it will be a
greater sight, when all the progress
i've farmers who are owners of Fords
and other makes of cars come to town,
1t is our opinion that Clayton can
boast of having more cars than any
town in the state, of its size. The
ordinance also provides 70 the securing
of teams along the curbing. This is
splendid provision as it will avoid
accidents caused by run-aways.
Now, when the marshal gets busy
and exterminates some of the super
fluous CANNES and provides curfew
for minors, this will surely be a good
place in which to live.

Mrs. E. w. Fox and mother, Mrs.
Schroeder, accompanied by Misses Ad-
elaide Fox and Vendla Eklund, left
for Watsonville, California, where Mrs
Fox will make her future home. She
has resided in Clayton a long period
of years and leaves many warm
friends who regret her departure very
much. We wish her success and hap
piness in her new home. She will have
the assurance that she carries the sin
cere respect and admiration of all who
know her wherever she goes. They
took with them the body of the late
Edward Fox which has been in Kill
burns Undertaking parlors since his
death. He will be laid to rest in Wat
sonville. It has been hard blow to
his old friends to see him depart from
among us so early in life but his mem
ory will live always in the hearts Of
those who were closest to him.

OPINION ON RABBIT
DRIVE DIFFERS
THE USE OF GUNS AND DOGS
ADVOCATED BY SEVERAL IN
TERESTED IN DRIVE. PRECAU-
TION MUST BE USED

There seems to be a diversity of
opinion regarding the use of guns and
dogs in the big rabbit drive, which
will be held on December 27. In an
interview with H. j. Hilgers, he ex-
pressed it as his opinion, that owing
to the fact that there would be scar
city Of men, it would be advisable to
use shot guns and dogs, but that the
use of fire arms should be under the
direction of the captains, who would
prohibit their use when a sufficient
number of men arrived to make the
use of clubs instead necessary.
This, we believe, is very good sug-
gestion. 1t must be realized, however,
that the use of fire arms in q gather
ing of this kind is hazardous and it
viii demand the exercise of extreme
caution on the part of the captains
to restrict them to their proper use.
There seems to be an increasing in
terest taken in this drive and the peo--
pie of the adjoining districts are maxi
ing preparations for it,
There viii be an unlimited amount
of sport connected with the drive and
should it be a success and a large num-
Der of rabbits killed the whole com
munity VII profit thereby,
Now let everybody get behind the
move and make it a success, but use
all rrecaution that no serious accident
may mar the pleasure of the day. Let
us have other opinions on the subject.

FORMER CLAYTON MAN
ATTENDS CONVENTION

Fred Grimm, Willys7lverland agent
of Ration, who is one Of the 5000 deal
ers visiting the great Toledo plant in
connection with the immense conven-
tion in progress, recQunts his exper-
fences in this entertaining letter to
the editor:
Some action!
Nothing was ever 50 Impressive as
our tour of the great plant that turns
out Willys-0verland cars
Our Pullmans all parked in the
company yards. There was room en-
ough, for there are seysn and three
quarter miles Of track within the plant
Each man got a card containing a
picture of Mr.. WHY'S and an auto
graphed message of welcome from
him. Next thing / knew we were lin
ed up on the steps of the stunning new
administration building getting photo
graphed.
Elevators shot US to the company's
own restaurant on the sixth floor.
There we had a corking breakfast, At
each plate was a copy of the live new
WHY'S Overland house organ "The
stSrter" It mapped daesf days pre-
gram,
Then started our tour of the plant.
Our guides were carefully picked
men. They knew the plant from end
to end, and the parties were small so
that each member of the party could
have his questions answered.
Nobody ought to try to sell WHY'S
Overland product without knowing
this plant. You can't grip the immen-
sity of it till you do.
1t is no piker business.
$25,000,000 are tied up in land,
buildings and machinery, not to say a
word about the stock of parts and raw
material.
From the roof of the wonderful ad-
ministration building, which stands
out like state capital, you get a
great panorama of the plant. You
can then readily believe that it occu-
pies 103 acres, with 4,4S6,680 square
feet of floor space in daily use and a
production capacity of 1000 cars pei
day.
You can appreciate the growth from
$50 employees in 1908 to 1890 in 1916
1000 persons, more than the entire
manufacturing force of many com.
pany, work in the administration build
ing alene. This structure, 375 feet
long, has every facility for rapid work
including dictaphones, its own tele
graph and telephone system and s
mail handling department that does
about everything but write letters.
1888 persons can be fed in the restau
rant at one time.
But this is nothing to what hits
when you cross into the shops. 1t is I
whirl of action, yet all is system.
Parts by the untold thousands ar,
here, with a value into the millions
of dollars, There are lines of motors
l never saw so many crank shafts to
gether. Our guide said 6,O0O-I't
have believed 10000.
There is stock in bins, stock il
yards, stock along the walls, connect
ing rods, frames, tenders, mud guards
hoods, rims, springs, axles, torsiol
tubes, transmission gears, shafts
brake parts, steering rods, pedals,
is an unending procession.
Every thirty days sees an averag
Of 1000 tons of steel come in. 1t i

ables two men to do work that form

There are amazing machines.

MUST BATTLE FOR THE SOUL
Task That Has Been Given Every
Man and Woman Until the End
of the World.

1t was clear and definite issue that
was fought out in the forty days in
the wilderness; it has been fought
out every day since; it is the one
fundamental issue in history 1t is
often concealed by other and more
obvious issues; there are those who
DENY that there is any such issue;
what is called civilization seems at
times to have disproved it's existence
until civilization suddenly gives way
and men find themselves standing on
the edges of appalling abysses, and
realize that under the fairest land
scape there sleep today, as there slept
a thousand years ago, the forces that
rend and wreck in thirty seconds the
work of thirty centuries.
Time and wealth and beauty and the
growth of order have changed the form
of the age-old and unending battle
which all men must fight to keep
their souls alive. 1t is a beautiful
world; it is crowded with absorbing

MESSAGE of Easter,

II ASTER again proclaims it's mes
sage to the world Nature lends
her enchantment to the day,
and makes all things bright with
her unfolding promise of the res
direction. The wooded hills, the
mystic canyons, the lowered mead
ows, the home-building birds, the
sparkling dewdrops on grass and flow
er awaken, under the warming rays
of the rising sun, into a world beauti-
full, made sweeter by the presence Of
him who is risen from the dead And
man, looking up from his work, re-
joices.
Therefore, however wild and steep
your path may be; however mighty
the sweep of sinful propensities and
habits; however dark and threaten
ing the clouds that cross your path,
take heart and press on Casters
message is for the world 1t puts a
song in the individual heart. SO as
nature responds to the touch OF
spring. may mankind everywhere en-
ter into the spirit of Easter.

kind not to remember Let us re-
mind ourselves that Jesus would not
have US put away all signs of those
gone out of sight; that he would not
have US live as though they had
never been with US. They are not
dead; they are just away" This is
one stone rolled away from our
sepulchers.
Here we desire to do many things
which the limitations of the flesh
prevent. But when the feshly limi-
tation is removed our love, our mem
Dry, our aspiration, our results of rich
experience, all those real qualities
which make US ourselves, are free to
do and to be. One OF the highest in
ducements to a spiritual life now is
this fact that we are making here our
status there Death is the commence
ment of greater effectiveness for life.
That stone is rolled away from our
sepulchers
1t is also true that Christ gave
ground for believing that our loved
ones gone are still with us. He told
his disciples that where they were,
there he would be in the midst of
them He spoke of home he had
gone to prepare and of coming to take
them to it, Enframe this as one may,
the picture is the same-reunion with
the loved ones gone. You come home
from a trip abroad. AS you draw near
the pier the hands of loved ones wave
to you, the steamer ties up to her
wharf and you are again in the arms
of those so dear. So it is at death.
You have been long away from those
at home, but the vessel that has car
ried you-your body-ties up some
day to the little green wharf on some
quiet hillside and you again are with
your dear ones.
There rolls the last stone away.
Rev. John Britain Clark.
