HERE'S WAY TO BEAT
HIGH COST OF FREIGHT

Here's one way to get around the
high cost of freight. Frank Mont
fort, cotton buyer, who is locating
in Americas, drove up to the Harold
warehouse Monday afternoon with
truck load of office fixtures. He had
started from Fitzgerald at HOO
o'clock, and arrived at his destina-
ton at A p. m. The transportation
charge was $35, which, he calculat-
ed was fair enough, since he avoid
ed Grating his furniture, paying
hauling charges to and from the
railroad station, railroad freight
charges, and suffering possible break
age.
Mr.. Montford will make his head
quarters in the Harold building.

AUTO FINISH
For Renewing Old Cars

This finish makes it possible
to make a used car look new.

They give factory finish to the
used car, no matter how rusty
and dusty in appearance, adding
much to its resale value. Vitro-

them ground coats and under
coatings necessary to lay a
foundation for the best finish of
this kind. By using them in ac-
cordance with directions, the car

TREATY DEADLOCK
 NOW SEEMS SURE
Senate Votes AS to 40 to Adopt the Committee Reservation Preamble-Democrats Stand Firm.

Washington, Nov. 7.-The first af- firmative step toward qualification of the peace treaty was taken today by the Senate, after administration lead CTS, with the backing of President Wilson, had reaffirmed their intention of voting against ratification of the reservations drawn by the Senate ma jority are adopted.
 The initial test of strength on the reservation program of the foreign relations committee found the Repub- licans almost solidly united behind it, the group of mild reservationists who helped kill the committee's amend ments, and the irreconciliable group of treaty foes standing together for the first time since the long treaty fight began.
 By vote of AS to 40, the Senate approved, after all efforts to amend it had failed, the committees pream- ble to the reservation group, requir- ing that to make the treaty binding at least three of the four great powers must accept the senate qualifications. The only Republican who did not swing into line for the proposal was Senator McCumber, of North Dakota, while three Democrats, Senator Reed of Missouri, Gore of Oklahoma and Walsh, of Massachusetts, voted with the majority.
 When adjournment was reached, the first of the fourteen reservations was under debate, and Republican leaders were claiming they had safe majorities pledged for the entire group. The mild reservationists, it was declared, had turned down new Democratic offer of compromise while the irreconciliable wing was de- vising plan of action by which they hoped to defeat the treaty entirely The best claim made by the admins tration forces was that the treaty would be wedged into a deadlock which, in the end, would make com promise inevitable
 The plan to vote against the treaty and thus deadlock the ratifca- tion fight was declared to have Presi- dent Wilson's unqualified support. Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, the Democratic leader, saw the president during the day for the first time since MT. Wilson returned from his speak ing tour, and went over with him the entire situation surrounding the treaty in the Senate. Afterward MT. Hitchcock said the executive regarded the committee reservations as des- tructive and the preamble as Every embarrassing" and advised the ad- ministration senators to stand by their guns.
