place until he had at least displayed
his wares for SALE although he
knew they could hardly be appreci-
ated by the five young ladies who
were conducting the business in the
absence of their employers.
He called the five capable little
ladies' together. The three girls who
were upstairs, after they had pow
dered their noses and fixed their
hair Just so, descended the flight of
steps which parted them from the
travelling man and his sample bag,
and joined the stenographers on the
first floor, who were waiting for
them. Then the lone man in their
midst showed them his stuff.
The little drama was fast reaching
it's climax and the girls were all
holding their breath--waiting to gaze
upon the contents OF the said bag
when he opened it, and there they
were-all kinds Of silk shirts; loud
ones that could talk for themselves,
and gentler ones which smiled up
from the bag into the girls eyes and
silently beseeched them to give them
a little consideration, too, along with
their noisy brothers. They all looked
good to the five young ladies and
they cried out their admiration for
them in delightful girlish squeals,
not in the least the way you would
imagine modern business women do
ing, and congratulated the salesman
upon having such a lovely line of
goods on the market; but that was
all they could do, and the salesman
knew it.
1t was a blue day after all, in spite
OF the bright colors in the gay shirts
blue day for thes travelling man who
was looking for real customers and
blue day for the five little ladies
who hadn't any husbands-maybe
brothers would have done-to wear

TRAVELLING MAN
CAN'T MAKE SALES
He Enters Office Where Five Men
Arc Supposed to Be Located
and Finds Only Girls Who
Won't Buy

A travelling man came into Keokuk
the other day and walked briskly
into one Of the prominent business
offices on Blondeau street. He was
good looking gentleman and had
some perfectly wonderful" goods to
sell in his weather-beaten sample
bag, one Of the stenographers told
her employer later.
There are five men who belong in
that office, and the travelling man
seemed to know it, for he asked for
each one of them in turn and each
one of the prospective customers
was out some place-one or two had
gone to Burlington, another one was
out selling farms and insurance, and
others were pursuing their occupa-
lions any other place but IN the

SUPERIOR MAN SAYS
 ESSEX BEST MOTOR
 BUY IF HIS LIE

"The best and most satisfactory car I have ever owned" Those are the words used by C. E. Bodkin of Superior in speaking of his Essex after his return from the coast via Blythe and the Ehrenburg Ferry.
 T left Long Beach on my return trip at six o'clock Thursday and arrived in Phoenix about 6 o'clock Friday afternoon. making the distance from Long Beach to Phoenix, about APO niles. in two days of easy driving, passing every car on the road.
 T only put water in the radiator once and that was about a quart at Mecca. I did not replenish my oil sup Ely until reached Phoenix and then one quart was all that was needed. used 24 gallons of gasoline on the 420 mile trip, making an average of 17ia miles per gallon, which I consider very good considering condition of the roads,"
 MT. Bodkin added that there is not a squeak or rattle in the car. He con- tinued on his way to Superior after dining in Phoenix.

 The whole area is covered well by an extensive system of waterways. In inland points landings might be made in small machines in the straight, smooth, central streets of the native towns, which in this section are usually clear of grass and other Instructions and are not less than one hundred feet wide.s

for the corners of very large rooms. A corner cupboard in a small room is a great mistake. So is a grandfath- er's clock in the corner of a small room, or grand piano-even a baby one. These interesting articles require a room of dignified dimensions or they will appear 'out of place. and the room itself warped and unsymmetricai.
 Even if there is room to keep book case or chest of drawers only a foot away from a corner the effect will be better than if the end of the piece be crowded up in the corner. close to tho two walls.

tion of distance of spaciousness, is lost. Many rooms are actually dis torted in appearance when a piece of furniture is placed in a corner.
 Of course if the room is irregular in shape well placed curved davenport may. correct an awkward line or a desk with a suitable chair near by may be used to good advantage, but these are exceptions that prove the rule.
 The average room, unless unusually sparsely furnished-and precious few are-has a tendency to be cramped in appearance, especially those with low ceilings. In well over half the cases clearing every corner so a line from floor to ceiling is visible remedies the defect to a surprising extent.
 Very few pieces of furniture were ever designed to stand in corners, and most of these were originally planned

TURKEYS @BAp MEN"
fNew York Tribunel

Turkey isn't trying to shield her greatest war criminals. A court mar tial in Constantinople the other day sentenced to death Enver Pacha, Ta- laat Bey and Daemal Pacha, the young turk triumvirs, who terrorized Con- stantinople in 1914 and forced Turkey into war with the entente. They ig- nored the sultan and his grand vizer, who were both rather anti-T -Teuton in sympathies. They controlled the army and the parliament They also had the Goeben anchored in the Bosphorus with it's guns trained on the capital.
 These three men were the final products of the fanaticism and cor ruption which rnasqueraded under the I liberal professions of the young Turk revolution They were more despotic than the old Sultan Abdul Hamid, whom they deposed, ever dared to be. And they were more inhuman. All the earlier massacres of Turkeys Chris ton subjects were thrown in the shad- ow by the Armenian and Syrian mas sacres which Enver Talaat and Djemal 1 instigated
 Enver was tho most melodramatic of the three. He was an expert revolver shot. He acquired the reputation of a sort of bad man. of the wild west movies and reve1led in it. He always carried his pistol and was ready to draw it on occasion to enforce the point of argument. He is said to have shot down some of Abdul Hamid's palace staff when the latter was forced to abdicate.
 Talaat was shrewder and meaner, with less physical courage. He was l the hyena of the dictatorate. Diemal was truculent and hard to handle. His l two associates were glad to get him out of Contantirople in 1915 by giving him command of the expedition against i Egypt. He was minister of naval af- fairs at that time but confident that he would make a great general. That confidence was misplaced. He failed lin Syria, but was allowed to remain l there. Wangenheim and Won der Goltz were just as anxious as Enver and Ia l laat to keep him at safe distance from the golden horn.
 The alliance with Germany was a bad bargain for Turkey. The young turk inner circle grew rich out of it. i But the people suffered and the Turk ish armies were left, after the middle of 1917, to fight alone against superior i numbers in Palestine and Mesopotamia. The empire wen. down to ruin. The Sultan resumed authority long enough to ask for an ai.mistice. Then the authors of the war fled to parts un- known. They have been sentenced to death in their absence.
 But Turkey isn't trying to shield them. She has executed Renal Bey former food minister and one of their tools. She will probably execute the three nrincinalS if tho a1liAd rniiifarv

 The result is this Victory Model By actual tests 1t shows increase of 50 per cent in strength, T5 per cent in endurance and 25 per cent in economy.

No Extra Cost to You

The amazing fact is this: There scores of costly improvements One cannot add one-haf to strength without increasing cost All this extra beauty and extra finish costs.
 The finer workmanship, the exacting tests pensive. They require s250OOO in machinery and equipment. They require staff of 135 trained in- spectors. just to watch and test
 The thermostat adds cost. So do other features by which operating cost is reduced 25 per cent.
 Yet this Mitchell, with all these improvements, undersels every ke-eass Six.
 That means that the Mitchell saves the cost of these extras through it's wonderful factory efficiency It builds the complete car-motor chassis and body in a model plant famed for scientific methods You will see in this new car what such methods mean you.
 The Mitchell factory is overwhelmed with orders. This new-type Six has proved surprising attraction. It is apparent that this springs demand will far ceed the output
 We fear you will not get this new-grade car unless you come soon.
