ALL THAT'S LACKING
IS A FAIRY PRINCE

Redding, Cal, Oct. 29.-Jerry
Downs of Round Mountain, near here
dreamed the other night that his
troubles were over.
The mortgage was overdue and the
banker threatened to foreclose. Mrs.
Downs had to go to hospital for an
operation; their youngest son was in
a hospital and the doctors bill had
not been paid. The grocer had re-
fused to extend credit further.
Yet Downs went to sleep the other
night and dreamed he and trouble had
parted company forever. When he
awoke the next morning he was not
in the least surprised when the rural
mail carrier brought him legal look
ing envelope. The letter read: cab
ner Downs died in Honolulu May %.
The Clovis news., 1919-10-30

He left an estate valued at more than
100000. He left no will and you
are his only surviving heir. We are
sending you a check for $500 and are
awaiting your further orders"
The letter was signed by firm Of
lawyers at Honolulu.
The grocer is happy, Mrs. Downs
will have her operation, the banker
will be paid soon.
"Why not be happy?" said Downs.
81 believed in a dream when things
looked darkest and the dream came
true. If everybody would believe in
dreams we'd all be happy-and rich.
I'm sorry for Uncle Abner, but he
had to die sometime"

SEVENTY YEARS OLD,
DRIVES $4,000 MILES

On her return trip, Mrs. William
Upton, the seventy year old woman,
who alone drove a Ford runabout
from San Francisco to New York City
visited the Ford Motor Company's
main office. She was introduced to
the officials Of the company, held in
her hand Ford check worth two
figures of millions, recounted the ex-
periences she had encountered on her
trip, and before leaving made ar
rangements for securing a new Ford
car Immediately upon her return to
her home in Bakersfield, California.
Mrs. Upton has already driven her
present Ford more than $4,000 miles
1000 of which were driven since she
left San Francisco May 18th, the
longest days driving being 100 miles.
At Springfield, Illinois, Mrs. Upton's
birth place, she plans to dispose of
the car and after visiting her many
friends there, will return home via
rail.
When commenting on her trip, she
said that in making the drive from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, it had not
been her purpose to follow a direct
line of travel, but to visit the most
cities and places of interest. She Wis
tied the Petrihed Forest, spent sever
al days in the National Capitol, drove
to Mount Vernon, visited the site Of
the Battle of Gettysburg, and ther
after touring to some of the Atlantic
Coast Cities, made her way to New
York.
She experienced practically M
trouble with her car, although sht
pointed out the fact that she under
stands the Ford motor and made hel
own adjustments.

The Calling Voice
By POP.

Somewhere a voice is calling
| hear the plaintive lay, wher
evening shades are falling, ant
dusk is dim and gray: it's sung
by youth and maiden, who
lightly bear their years, who
are not heavy laden, and worn
by toll and tears. | see my
daughter dolling herself in cost
| ly frills !: somewhere a voice is
calling on me to pay the bills
somewhere a voice is saying,
Your stand-off's gone to seed
come hither and be paying the
money that we need My folks
are always falling for rugs and
druggets nice; somewhere d
voice is calling on me to raise
the price. ] sit and brood and
ponder beneath my fig and vine,
and long to be up yonder where
all the planets shine. For life
is sad and bitter, a long and
weary road, and one who's not
a gutter must always bear
load There is no time for
stalling. no pause for rest or
fun; somewhere voice is call
ing for mon and still more mon.
The good sport bears his bur
den, and hopes that when he
dies he will receive as guerdon
a free pass to the skies. Where
silver streams are brawling by
Eden's verdant hills, he'll hear
no voices calling on him to pay
the bills. WALT MASON.
