THAYER WINS SUIT
 THEN PAYS AMOUNT

If Arizona was composed of men of Ezra Thayer's typa this would be some state. There Is q real man, a man among men" said Clarence F. Conlin, Los Angeles attorney. who was in Phoenix yesterday on legal busi- ness.
 MT. Conlin represented w. J. Des- mond. of Long Beach. who as admin istrator of the estate of James Ma honey brought suit against Mir. Thayer for S1.2o0. The case came ID in the superior court a year ago and judgment was given the defendant. After winning the suit Mir Thayer promptly turned around and paid the entire amount for which he had been sued tn tue plaintiff.
 ''It was b big thing to do," said MT. Conlin in disc5ssng the subject. 'lt was not the few hundred dollars but what it represented That is the fine big western spirh for you, and it's pity that more of our men are not built with it.
 Mir. Conlin left last evening for Tucson where he has large land hold ings.

IN JAIL AFTER

Jacob Longhofer, living two miles
northwest of Hope, left his farm
one day and on returning he sus'
pected his harvest hands and go

Immediately put all three of them

STANDARDIZATION KEY
TO MOTOR CAR SUCCESS
Maxwell Man Discusses Price Re-
duction of Car He Sells

Standardization is the basis o.
all great success in the motor cal
industry, said Mr.. p. c. Redman
Maxwell distributor in Abilene, in
discussing the remarkable price re.
duction announced this month by
the Maxwell Motor Company.
1.-THE manufacturer today who
wants to produce the very best
values, the utmost in service and
quality for a certain price must
standardize every possible process
of the work. There must be exact
precision of workmanship, standards
of quality must be maintained to
the highest degree.
In producing the Maxwell car,
the endeavor is to accomplish two
things, namely, the perfection of
the car, and development of our
manufacturing process to eliminate
all waste in materials, labor and
money.
Every part is so made inter
changeable. 1t must fit into its
place without strain. 1t must be
right. Maxwell engineers make sure
of the design, the strength of the
used for each one of the
parts, and them adhere absolutely |
to the standard which they have |
set for themselves. This is what is
meant by the term Standardization
rs applied to the manufacture of
cars.
"And if you will study the most
concerns you will find
hat every one is following this
plan. Not perhaps to such a great
9xtent as is the case with the Max
we'll Motor Company, but they
'ealize that it is the right course,
md are making progress in that

BACK ON THE
OLD PLANS FOR PARKS

The files of the Reflector fol
1902 show some of the dreams that
Abilene had for identifying the
town in those days. 1t was proposed
to purchase the block east of the
library park and the one west, both
of which could have been secured
cheap, and make park from Buck
eye to Cedar. Also to purchase the
block south of the U. p hotel and
unite it with the court house grounds
and U. p. grounds, making a south
side park. But the town was OPP
posed to spending SO much money
about one fourth the present val
ne of the real estate involved, not
counting the buildings. Yet had
Abilene done it, the city would to-
day have something that would be
its pride and Joy. Mcpherson gath
cred up two blocks near the center
of town, closed the street between
and has ornamented the grounds
with flowers, lake, pergola and
made it one of the beauty spots of
Kansas.
II town is to live up to it's OPP
portunities 1t must have a vision of
its future. Abilene is waking up
it is unfortunate that it
let some precious opportunities
pass.

CHILDREN A LUXURY.-After
reading Kibbler's letter in The Forum
I decided to hear the much-talked
about Sirfessor Wilkesbarre. And,
having heard him,I must say agree
with him inasmuch as he says wom-
en- are as a general rule the cheaper
organism. Why are they? Well,
women are not satisfied with breed
ing cannon fodder; they mustbreed
their own competitors in the bust
ness world. 1t is not an unusual sight
to see the mother and one or two
daughters, sometimes a son, work
ing side by side in a sweatshop. Why
do women persist in teaching their
sons false patriotism?
The son of workingman does not
own enough of his so-called country
if it was turned into calico to make
canary bird a tea jacket. And if
some of the mothers could see their
daughters as have seen them limp
ing around with bunions half the size
of a teacup and their toes full of
corns from working long hours in the
factories and dept stores (and not
only their feet almost killing them
but their whole nervous system
wrecked), why they would not, they
could not oppose birth control.
am thankful that / am a woman
who can say l have never bore any
cannon fodder or sweatshop slaves.
And | love children better than | love
anything else in this world. 1 would
love to be surrounded with dozens of
them, but they are luxury 1 cannot
afford.
So, again say, agree with Sir
fessor Wilkesbarre. He spoke the
naked truth. And that is something
the majority of the working class of
women do not like to hear-Mrs. w.

ernments doomed to failure? That
question is so pertinent to our day
that it must appeal to every one. The
answer is just as apparent, viz, are
the clothes you wear in infancy
adapted to your adult stature?
Small clothes looked well upon you
in childhood, but even the ladies dis
like them in mature life. Nature, the
law of God in which you are a factor,
is a constantly changing order. Do
you not then see the utter folly of try
ing to apply to your adult life the
things that we're adapted to your
childhood? Then you needed the
guiding hand of parents until you
learned to stand and walk alone. You
then refused the help of others, and
very justly so. Still, right there, all
of you are thrust into the foul en-
brace of a sort of foster parenthood,
namely, man-made laws and govern
ments. By them you are manacled
and enslaved. But so great is the
Influence of custom and heredity that
you do not even dream that you are
slaves. You are permitted to live
only upon compliance with the per-
nicious, debasing and soul-destroying
rules laid upon you by the monstrous
ordinations of governments and
the endless vermin that cling about
them. You have been tied down to
that Frankenstine for thousands of
years.
Evolution, the law of God, has been
eteTnally operatial. What is the re-
suit? Simply this: You are thou
sands of years behind the times; you
are in hell. God, in His infinite mercy,
is now setting you free by destroy
