who do you think is coming to
our dinner party tomorrow night,
HenTy?" asked little Mrs. Emory of
her husband. The Countess Ka-
rolyi."
We'll, let her carol all she wants
to-" said Henry Emory heartlessly.
Never heard Of her anyway. Who
is she?"
Don't be flippant, Henry! You
know the Countess KarOlyi is the ia
nous Hungarian woman writer who
has come to America to study our
ways. Well, I met her as president
Of our ladies' club and I got her to
promise to come to dinner. There. "

with her" mUrmUred Henry Emory,
looking after the Hungarian butler,
who was at that moment leaving the
dining room.
Everybody in Mrs. EmOry's circle
had read Of the countess, who had
run away from home as a girl and
found employment as a woman writ
er in London; how she had returned
to people who believed her dead,
years after, famous; of her marriage
after all to the elderly count to es-
cape whom she had first left home.
Mrs. Emory felt that her visit would
be a social triumph.
You must be on your very best
behavior tomorrow, John" she said
to the butler.
John Lisz, her Hungarian butler,
was a treasure. She had had him
nearly a year and had never had a
better or more distinguished looking
servant. He was about the same age
as the countess-a trifie over 80, per

BUY r ON TIME.
Local Agency Outlines New Plan.

Mr.. Gerald S. Piercey, the local
Ford agent, has announced a new
plan of automobile time payments
which brings a Ford car within the
reach of all those enjoying regular
weekly incomes from some occupa-
tion-or whose business warrants an
expenditure of from $25 to $50 per
month.
To both the prospect who has in
mind a al for pleasure purposes
purely, or to the man who could use a
small, light truck in his business, this
plan will be of particular interest.
Not only is it unnecessary to carry
any sort of mortgage in buying with
this method, but the intending pur-
chaser is relieved of the often en-
barrassing and sometimes disagreed
BILE necessity of securing an endorser
on his note.
Taken all in all many people will
be delighted to know that such a SIM
pie plan has been evolved to smooth
over the obstacles that have long pre-
vented them being the happy posses
sor of a machine, and Mr.. Piercey
wishes to assure all those having in
mind the purchase of a car,-who
have held back because of a present
shortage of funds-to get in touch
with him at. once, as he will be glad to
furnish detailed information without
the recipient feeling that he is in any
way obligated to buy.

Hughes Sympathetic With De-
mands of Labor Which Are
Proved to Be Just.

"a am sympathetic with every
demand to improve the condi-
tions of labor, to secure reason
able compensation for labor.
am in sympathy with every eff
fort to better human conditions,
and particularly the condition of
those who toll in industrial pur-
suits, in railroad pursuits, in all
these great activities that are
essential to our prosperity. But
when you have a proposition to
change the scale of wage you
have a vital proposition which
requires examination. You must
at least know whether the de-
mand is a Just one.
Labor, of course, should not
desire anything but what Is Just.
do not believe labor intends to
ask for anything but what Is
Just. What is just can be ex-
amined and will survive inves-
tigation. Nothing is lost by hav-
ing the process of reason applied
IL only that which Is Just Is
required."-Mr. Hughes in His
Speech at Portland, Maine.

THERE SHOULD BE NO AC-
TON UNDER PRESSURE,
UNDER DlCTATION.

I'VE have one priceless treas
ure in this country, and that is
the reign of good Judgment after
public discussion. In the Iona
history of the people, victory
after victory has been won over
tyranny and force. We have a
free press, we have a free form
of public discussion, to the end
that there may be a general un-
Outstanding of our activities
and a general appreciation of
what is necessary to the i'm
provement of our conditions.
We may disagree about this
measure or that, but we have
confidence in the public judq.
ment in the long run. Hence
there is one thing which we must
always maintain, and that is that
there shall be no action on the
part of our elected representa-
tives, taken under pressure, un-
der dictation. We must know
what the facts are and what lus.
tice requires."-Mr. Hughes in
His Speech at Portland, Maine.
