ACID TEST OF PoLlTENEsS

Said to Come Under the Head

Frances was spending the day with
her friend, Jane Watkins. She had
taken one spoonful OF the soup. says
Harper's Magazine, when something
floating on top caught her eye. Was
It black pepper or was it black anti
What should she do with Il?
At that moment Frances close
scrutiny OF her soup attracted the at
tention of Jane. In a stage whisper,
plainly heard round the table. came
James "oh. mother! There's an ant In
Frances soupp
That was II, an ant. OF course Mrs.
Watkins would take the soup away.
How relieved Frances wasl
''The very idea An ant in her soup!
I am surprised at you. Jane 1t is pep
per-" said Mrs. Watkins severely. and
she looked reprOachfully at both girls.
Through Frances mind flashed all
the instructions on politeness she had
ever heard; never contradict your eld-
ers; in all circumstances, be polite;
table manners show ones breeding.
What must she do? "Never contradict
your elders !" She spoke up at once,
trying her best TO make her tone posi-
tive:
"Oh, yes think Il is pepper"
'Of course II is" said Mrs. Watkins.
Frances stirred her soup, hoping
James attention would be called away,
that she might catch the swimmer and
transfer 1t to the dinner plate. But
there was no such luck. Up came the
speck more like an ant than ever. Pep
per was one speck; here were two
specks close together. II was an ant.
and Jane, persistency itself, leaned
over for one more look, and said:
1T is an ant"
Frances glanced hopefully at the
head of the table; but Mrs. Watkins
had not changed her opinion; 1t was
pepper. "Be polite" ran through her
brain again, and, taking up the spoon
full of soup upon which that suspicious
double feck foated, Frances settled
the question forever before saying,

TYPICAL OF GOLDEN WEST
Has Something Of Which East
Cannot Boast.

Willow Creek is the ordinary name
Of an ordinary small town in Montana.
Bear Creek, Roundup and Sioux Pass
have more of the Western flavor, but
Willow Creek is typical little West
ern town in spite OF its name. 1t Is
so in the midst OF vast tract OF clean
prairie land that it cannot be measured
by the yard-wide rule of cities. In
the distance towering mountains keep
paternal watch over 1t.
Even when the early morning mists
hide the mountains and prairies. VII
low Creek stands out spunkIly-a def
mite spot on the landscape. The sta
ton near the railroad tracks is very
small, quite square and very red. Lux.
urlant groves Of trees All the spaces
between the pretty little white, frame
houses. A roa{ that looks clean
swept shows to all corners a straight
and narrow way ranchward. Several
large willows dip their fingers in the
current Of the little creek that runs
behind the white houses.
AS tne tram from the WeSt*SlopS
few minutes at Willow Creek, in the
early dawn, a middle-aged man swings
of and starts down the road Mt q good
pace One would know him anywhere
for n mining man.
The metropolitan doing the transcon-
tlnental trip may smile at little Willow
Creek from his comfortable Pullman,
but there is one thing here of which
the East cannot boaat-elbOw room.
The great reaches Of space are some
thing unknown and bewlldering to the
Eastern strap-hanger and cliif-dweller.
AS the mining man swaggers down the
road toward his great outdoors, there
is something about him which spells
domain.

From this Viewpoint

We ask you to ride in the Essex that you
may know how it matches the performance Of
coStlier, larger cars.
Until you have experienced its performance
you will not know that it is an unusual car.
It's size and cost naturally leads you to re-
gard it as you do other cars of similar size.
But 10000 owners and other hundreds of
thousands of motorists know that except for
its price, its size and the economy OF its operat-
ing cost, the Essex bears no relation to even
cars of the better quality light weight medium
priced class.
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1919-10-15

their cars on trips heretofore undertaken only
by larger cars. The Essex has shown it has
no narrow limitations. 1t is safe to use for
any trip you would undertake with any
automobile.
Il meets every service and Essex owners tell
their friends how little attention they are
required 70 give their cars.

Choose the Essex
for Performance

Any Essex owner will tell you the most
inspiring things about acceleration and speed.
We have many customers who tell us they
prefer driving the Essex to any car they have
ever known.
Its ease of operation, the power which elimi-
mates much gear shifting the speed that puts
the Essex in the lead of any car they wish to
pass, are qualities that account for much you
hear among motorists.

Let Those Qualities
Decide You

Regard the Essex in the service you expect
from it, as you would any car regardless of
size or cost.
IF the Essex were as large as the cars whose
performance it matches, the price would have
TO be as high
But because it has no useless length or use
less weight, costly car quality in every detail,
IS possible with proportionate saving in cost.
Let Us show you the Essex in the way that
reveals its true qualities.
There is hve-passenger touring model, a
sedan for FIVE and the roadster
Each is as beautifully and completely done
as any car you could want. Think how people
endorse the Essex. The sole reason for their
enthusiasm is Essex quality.

one is saying for the Essex
