f his type of "ouick delivery" is
Ir. George H. Travis, dealer in meats
nd groceries, who says he can find

livery at twice the cost.
Besides this" continues Mr.. Trav-
is, I'VE are aver held up because of
a sick or tired horse, while any re-
pairs if necessary, are done in a quick
and efficient manner at prices mater
tally less than what our wagons have
usually cost u.s."
All of the above is enthusiastically
endorsed by Heinzer's Bakery, who
have had two ForGs handling their
business for the past three years.
Mr.. Chris Heinzer, who has had the
repairing of these two cars in charge
for all of that time, states that he
has found them efficient, economical,
and entirely dependable, in fact so
much so that he feels the present
business could never be taken care
of with less than four horses, at a
cost that would almost be prohibitive.
That these opinions of private con-
Germs are amply conservative and
within facts is attested to by the
purchase recently of another new
Ford runabout by a large corporation
like the Gulf Refining Company.
This makes the third machine so
bought by this company within the
past year and it is a grand common
tary on the "little Ford" that it has
met the most searching tests that
time and trained efficiency experts
can conceive, without once failing to
meet the necessary requirements.
Another local concern who have
added to their Ford equipment is the
Mortified Baking Company, who
have been operating a Ford delivery
for their products for over two years.
1t will naturally occur to most read
ers to ask why the majority of small
business houses don't supply them
selves with this method of delivery
and this question is ably answered by,
the statement that all transportation
problems are a matter of education
and in time all dealers in all kinds of
products will see the necessity of this
form of service and avail themselves
of it accordingly.

VIM. FARNUM IN
THE PRICE OF SILENCE
At the Strand Theatre Wednesday.

At the Strand Theatre Wednesday.
VIM. Farnum, the public's favorite
screen star, will be the feature attrac-
ton for Wednesday at the Strand
Theatre in a big six-act picture, "The
Price of Silence" Neither VIM. Far
nun nor the theme of child labor has
ever appeared to such fine advantages
as they do in "The Price of Silence"
The writer, William Piggott, has
handled them carefully in this case
and has supplied also a strong, grip
ping plot of a man who sacrifices his
honor and liberty so that the girl he
loves may go through life without a
stain on her family name.
Mr.. Farnum appears as Senator
Deering, an ardent fighter for the
adjustment of child labor, an ardent
admirer of Grace Vernon, daughter of
an old judge, who is behring's Idol.
Deering loses in his love affair. A
DR.. Kendle wins out. And so Farnum
turns all his attentions to the child
labor question and is appointed chair
man of a committee to consider the
new bill. In the midst of it Judge
Vernon dies, leaving only Deering in
the possession of the secret that he
was bankrupt and an embezzler. The
factory scenes, the senate scenes and
the flashes of the mob outside the
house, awaiting the returns are all
done exceedingly well. Mr.. Farnum
makes you feel his part all the way
through. Vivian Rick is the girl,
while Gordon Griffith, Brooklyn Keel
ar, Charles Clary and Ray Hanford
are seen in other important parts.

From what we can gather from a
slight acquaintance with society, we
infer that Emerson is not read neal as
much as he used to be. This is a great
misfortune. A later writer has said:
SIN applied wisdom no American has
surpassed him." That is what this
age needs more than anything else
applied wisdom; something that
doesn't whirl or make a clatter or show
itself in color and glitter, says Ohio
State Journal. There is ne book that
can do a serious-minded boy more
good, when he gets to the age of UNDER
standing, than "Emerson's Essays" 1t
should be in every family library.
There is nothing that states the truth
like this book, and the age goes down.

HASTE IS WASTE
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS.

If Love is the greatest good
thing in the world, then Hate is
the greatest evil thing in the
world. For Hate is the opposite
of Love. Love warns, Hate
freezes. Love attracts, Hate re-
pels. Love is Life, Hate is
Death.
Hate is the worst Waste that
can possibly enter a Human
Soul. .
Love fills, nourishes and pros
pers both the Lover and the
Loved. But Hate tears and
Wastes everything that it
touches in the life of the Halter
and the Hated. Hate is Poverty
Impoverished. When you
think about Hating anyone,
pause long enough to feel it's
poisonous sting creep through
your own being and then THINK.
The chances are then that you
will chase it from your life.
Hate always hurts the Halter
mOst-for in many cases the
Hated Is big enough not to let
the Hate in.
Don't let Hate get to you to-
day. And if you have sent it
out at any day to anyone, go
and find where it went and take
it back and bury it.
