ONLY ABOUT FOUR FORD CARS SEEN
 IN 1912 SEASON
This Year Ford Agent Plans to Sell 1000 Cars Without Any
 Trouble.

l One, to look upon the streets of
 Bridgeport to-day and note the great | CT percentage of Ford automobiles
 over the combined makes of other cars, will be greatly surprised to learn that in the season of 1911-1912 there were only one or two and three
 at the most Fords in this city. But
 like everything else good, things must
 have their beginning and the first introduction of the Ford automobile
 took place when aAlocal possessor of ] the greatest car in the world today l for the money, ordered a Model T Ford from New Haven distributors. | It came unheralded and practically unheard of. That was five or six years ago. This year the agency is plan
 ming selling without the least bit of
 trouble approximately 1000 cars in this vicinity. The Ford has made al-
 most unbelievable strides. ?. but the Ford was quick to gain popularity. To-day it outnumbers the rest of the cars in the United States by a most comfortable and handsome majority l This was accomplished in five or six years.
 72O,OOO Last Year. Last year the Ford output was planned at a million cars, but owing to many reasons, such as embargoes materials, etc., there were only 72O,- 900 Fords manufactured. Although
 this fell 2S0,00O short of the mark
 planned it is a wonderful production
 and it has been the high efficiency of
 the Ford plant that has made this great number possible.
 Due to the wonderful strides and
 the greater demand that is made ev- cry year for this car the factory at Detroit takes up many square feet of room. One can judge it's size to pro-
 duce 1000 cars a day. But thissdoes not satisfy the manufacturers and they are planning the erection of a plant that will be just double the
 size of the present one. Moving pie lures are now being made ready for release showing the Ford methods of manufacture.
 At the Ford salesroom, Mo- 3S6-38S Fairfield avenue will be found many models that will interest prospective Ford buyers. The salesrooms have
 been fitted in a very appropriate
 manner and there will be a special corps of salesmen on hand every day of the show to demonstrate the car to those who desire to inspect the Ford.

1917 PROMISES TO BE
 BIGGEST IN HISTORY
 OF AUTOMOBILE TRADE

The note of prosperity which pre- vailed among those who gathered last night at the Automobile Show here was one never to be forgotten by those who attended Men told of po-
 tatoes selling at more than four times as much as last year and, said :. the
 farmers were buying automobiles with their new wealth faster than the mo- tor cars could be supplied. From the
 South come reports of riches made in the cotton fields. Out of the West has developed orderS for thousands of cars based on the fact that, in spite of bad
 weather conditions causing a lower

high that the farmers have more money than ever. before in their his tory. Tn the North. the same condi- tions prevail. There is money in every hand-plenty of it; That these reports of prosperity were not simply the result of over enthusiasm is shown by the signed contracts for cars.
 Unless am mistaken" said one of the prominent dealer at the show last night, i've are, facing, for perhaps the first time in automobile history, an actual shortage of cars. More motor cars will be sold this coming spring than were disposed of all last year. Its going to be the biggest year in the history of the trade. All because the people have money, and they are going to spend great portion of it for auto mobiles.''

That ImogamoryLime.

August Loffelmacher of Fort Ridgely
was in New Ulm over Saturday and
Sunday. He came here to bring the last
of shipment of hogs which he had sold
to Stuebe Bros. There were So hogs in
all and they brought him about $4,000.
in cash, showing that the farmer who
knows how to go at the business of rails
ing hogs for market a1as a chance to
salt away some good hard coin for the
seven lean years that are usually expected
after succession of fat years. Mr..
Loffelmacher is one of the early native
sons of this section and in his fifty years
residence in this part of the state has seen
many wonderful changes. In a talk
with him, Mr.. Loffelmacher drifted to
the Mexican question and expressed his
strong belief that the Mexican is consid-
erably more sinned against than SHINING.
He says the Mexican is getting used just
as the Indian was used in the early days
here in Minnesota. He says people knew
then that they were not giving the
Indian square deal and everyone
admits it now He says that down in
our hearts we know we are not giving
the Mexican square deal, at least, the
border Americans and American investors

THOSE PETTY GAMBLERS.

W. J. Bryan's Commoner, comment
ing on Colonel Roosevelt's tears, shed
over the plight of the small investors
who lost in the stock market slump fol-
lowing President. Wilson's peace note,
says:
:, when the Presidents peace note was
given to the press panic set In on the
stock markets of the country. A day
or so later Mr.. Roosevelt, running true
to form, wept bitterly over the plight of
these 'small investors who were ruined
in immense numbers, he said. The
small investors were all gamblers on the
stock market. This is proved by the
fact that they were ruined. An in
weston loses little by small depreciation
of the value of his stock on the market.
He still has the stock and the returns on
it are practically unchanged. If he sells
it he loses only the amount Of the drop,
and as this is but small percentage OF
what he paid for it, he can not be ruined.
It is only when he is dealing in margins
that ruin can follow. Mr.. Roosevelt
has had to- go considerable distance in
his hostility to anything, the administra-
ton does in order to find in petty stock
gamblers misfortunes reason for
censure of the President" - ~

PAYING UP.

This is what Walt Mason says of the
man who pays his bills:
:'How lovely is that princely gent who
never owes man a cent, that he won't
gladly pay; whose glance is not severe
and chill, when you present your little
bill upon collection day He scans your
little bill and cries, 1T is pleasure, bless
your eyes, to deal with folks like you,
who charge reasonable price for shred
ded prunes and homeless rice, and other
things we chew. Just wind a smile
around your neck, while sit down and
write a check, with my large fountain
pen; you sold me good and honest junk,
and I am glad to pay the PUNK, the
kopeck and the yen. III - {
"This man may be a homely skate, he
may not wear lis S debeards straight, bis
necktie may be red, he may have warts
upon his ear, his awkward feet may
interfere, and bald may be his head. But
they'll praise the beauty of his smile, the
contour of his nose; they'll overlook his
features mean, and say: We've really
never seen man with finer toes" No
man is ugly when he hauls his bundle
from his overalls, and blithly pays his
bills, who pays the tailor for his buds,
the saw bones for his pills.

Stevens County Sets Example

Alberta, Stevens County. has a new
home for it's school teachers, 1t is the
first of it's kind to be built in the United
States to house the instructors in the
rural consolidated school. The home is
modern and complete in every detail.
The school is the result of the con-
solidation of three rural districts. The
present enrolment is 1874 pupils. Now
the school maintains complete four
years high school course of study which
consists in addition to the academic work,
of manual training, and agriculture for
the boys and home training courses for
the girls. AS the school increased it's
courses there was a need for housing
accommodations for the teachers. And
this model home, complete in every. de-
tail supplies a need that is felt in all
country school districts. ~
President Vincent of the University
of Minnesota, became interested in the
problems of the country school in Stevens

are not but they do not want to admit
it, so greedy are they for their own
private gain. Mr.. Loffelmacher has
visited the Southwest, has seen the
Mexican in his native environment and
has talked with those who have been his
neighbors and he has come to the CON
clusion that the Mexican is just as white
as the American, if not shade more so.
These sentiments do Mr.. Loffelmacher
much credit and will no doubt soon
be generally accepted when we have all
learned that boundary line between
America and the rest of the world is
but Pigment Of the imagination and that
those who live one side of the line are
very likely to be much the same sort of
people as those on the other.

What Women's Clubs Are DOING.

Reports from Women's Clubs thruout
the country show that women are taking
a deep interest in all matters pertaining
to the betterment of social conditions
and that in the study clubs, se!f-im-
provement only has been supplanted by
this higher interest.
Thousands of clubs this year are
engaged in helping to found libraries in
small towns, in circulating magazines
among isolated communities, in organiz-
ing local and. patriotic pageants, in
working for baby week, in trying for
better motion picture productions in their
own towns, in organizing the younger
women and girls for civic club work, and
in working for the common interests of
the town and country women The
examples of these activities are many
and amount to nationwide movements.

It's Up To You, PaMl.

1t seems, there are always certain in
dividuals who try to profit politically or
otherwise by a new movement which is
apparently making rapid Roadway. Such
movement at the present time is the
i Farmers Non-Partisan Political League
which swept into power in North Dakota
at the last election and which is rapidly
organizing in this state and will be a
force to be reckoned with at, the next
election. If the movement is a good one
it will survive; if not, it will in a very
short time have run it's course. >.
Any movement should have a fair
opportunity to prove it's right to ex-
istence and should be headed by the best
and brainiest' men of the party. It
happens not infrequently, however, that
men shove themselves to the front who
have no claims on the party in the first
place and who do not reflect the real
ideas of the ones back of the movement.
Such seems to be the case now.
Hardly had the movement got started
in Brown County when Paul Dehnel,
editor and publisher of the Sleepy Eye
Progressive announced that he would
run for Congress on the platform of the
Farmers Non-Partisan Political League.
Paul seems obsessed with mania for
breaking into the halls of Congress. Only
a very short time ago he tried to get
there on the Progressive platform into
which he injected a little anti Catholic
flavor in order to get some votes. But
it was not to be. If Paul were the
brainiest man in his new party from the
Second Congressional District his can
didacy would appeal. He can not even
put forward the plea that he is farmer
and deserving of their support.
We know of one man in Brown County
who is head and shoulders above Dehnel
in ability and that is Senator L. E.
Potter of Springfield who would make
worth while representative of the new
movement and would add force and
strength to it. If Dehnel is in the
movement for the sake of Paul Dehnel
only he will stick by his guns and allow
no one to wrest the nomination from
him, but if he really has the new move
ment at heart he will do everything in
his power to secure a real leader, one who
will command respect and lend dignity
] to the movement. What is Paul going
to do about it?

Lamc0Ln Once Baked

Abraham Lincoln refused to stand by
President Polk. Even after war with
Mexico had been declared, and our
soldiers were fighting in that country,
Mr.. Lincoln, then a Congressman from
Illinois, speaking in the lower House of
Congress said:
II more than suspect that he (Presi-
dent Polk) is deeply conscious of being
in the wrong; that he feels the blood of
this war, like the blood of Abel, is crying
against him; that originally having some
strong motive to involve the two coun-
tries in war, and trusting to escape
scrutiny by fixing the public gaze upon
the exceeding brightness OF military
glory-that attractive rainbow that
rises in showers of blood-that serpent's
eye that charms to destroy he plunged
into it, and has swept on and on until
he now finds himself: he knows not
where" 1885, 80 "..,
Lincoln spoke his sincere convictions
and he has been indicated by history.
No one questions President Wilson's
patriotism and sincerity, no more thar
they did Lincoln's; neither do thousands
of people believe that he should get Us
into war until such has become actually
necessary.

NO PROHIBITION BY LEGISLA-
TIVE. FIAT.

Though a 'tbone-dry'' prohibition
amendment to the Constitution is in
fair way to pass the legislature, bill for
prohibition by statutory enactment has
been introduced and will be pushed.
Whatever may be said Of the theory of
prohibition by constitutional amendment
the proposal for prohibition by legis-
lative fiat should not be entitled even to
respectful consideration.
I Such laws as these are utterly useless
unless they have the backing OF strong.
preponderance of public sentiment.
The only way to demonstrate the iexis-
tence of such a sentiment is by submit
ting the issue to vote of the people, as
will be done with the prohibition amend
ment if the legislature passes it.
To pass a: prohibition statute is to
plunge pellnell into an experiment with
prohibition without consulting the people
of this state-in defiance, perhaps, of
their wishes. And that is to invite
and to deserve complete failure in the
prohibition experiment.
I If Minnesota is to experiment with
prohibition, the right way to go about
it is to pass the prohibition amendment
bill that has gone through the house, and
to let the people vote upon it the next
election. If the people ratify it, then
they choose to make the. experiment,
and it's success will depend almost entire
| ly on how earnestly they desire it to
succeed. If enough of them want it to
succeed, and want it earnestly enough,
!! it Will succeed measurably well. If
a majority or even half Of the people are
Indifferent about it, it will inevitably
fail
But the legislature has no right to
adopt a policy so far-reaching as prohi-
bition without consulting the people
without letting the people decide. What
ever happens to the prohibition amend
ment and the present outlook is that
lit will pass and come up for a vote in
1918-the proposal to. impose prohibi-
| ton by mere legislative fiat shouldn't
get ten votes in both houses combined
1T should be defeated verwhelmingly.
