THE LITTLE THINGS
T H A T c GU N T

Most every time you have left your
car at garage and go to get IN it
after the mechanics have finished
their work, you have found the steer
ing wheel grcasy, the seats and up
holstering sciled and greasy, all
mussed up.
Well, this will not happen at our
garage.
Your Palm Beach or your finest
evening gown will be safe for it will
be spick and span.
That is a little thing for the garage
people, but a mighty big thing for
the owner. We are going to give it |
to you.

GOT THE GOLD
DUST TWINS BEAT

His name is VIII Farmer. He is
negro.
But he is far from what his name
implies. He washes automobiles and
makes them look like new. He puts
on polish and a shine that only the
monday shine rivals.
The Gold Dust Twins have nothing
on him when it comes to cleaning and
polishing automobiles.
Rest assured that if you leave your
car at the Lowndes Motor Car Co. to
be washed or polished or cleaned, it
will be done up brown"
Try it. We don't ask you to take
our word for it.

While great emphasis Is laid upon
the correct design and manufacture
of every part it should also be ad-
ded that only in conjunction with the

OPENING PLANS MARRIED.

We had planned a formal opening
occasion, but fuel restrictions have
set our plans at nought, and we will
have to be contented with simply and
cordially inviting our friends to visit
our garage.
We had hoped to have a big dance
with music and flowers and refresh
ments, but this pleasure we will have
to forego and we fell sure that the
public will appreciate our position.

Washington, Jan. en- a petition

Henry Ford, Democratic candidate
for United States Senator, who was
defeated on the face of returns by
Truman H. Newberry. Republican,
gave formal notice of a contest of the
Senate seat and asked for a recount
of the ballots.
Excessive use of money in New
berry,s campaign, intimidation of vo-
ters, improper rejection of ballots,
fragrant violation" Of Michigan ell
ection laws and many other charges
were made by Mr.. Ford in his petit
ton.
The petition was referred to the
Privileges and Elections Committee
after being ordeerd printed.
The committee recently voted
against an investigation of the Michi
gan election, holding that the present
Senate had no jurisdiction over the
membership Of the next Senate.
Upon a fair and lawful recount
of the ballots at said election, your
petitioner would be decided to be du-
ly and lawfully elected Senator from
Michigan" the petition stated. Ex-
penditures Of $4,000 by the New

of the committee and was directly re
sponsible for all acts, and that he was
in constant communication with it
and it's members and knew of and ap-
proved it's large expenditures of mo-
neys and participated in its work. :"
This money was spent, Mr.. Ford
charged, in part by "the hiring of
workers and other illegitimate ex-
penses and contrary to law" and
through expenditures support was
obtained from many persons, papers
and periodicals which materially in
fuenced the election.
The petition set forth that nearly
all of the2,200 election precinct
boards were composed wholly of Re-
publicans, including intense partisans
of Mr.. Newberry. The Democratic
candidate also alleged that at least
10000 ballots were unlawfully coun-i
ted for his opponent and that many,
ballots cast for him were unlawfully
rejected by the election boards.
In many election precincts, the pc
tition stated, the count by the cleo.
ton officers was illegal. false and
fraudulent, and that the sanctity and
secrecy of the ballots, especially in.
upper Michigan, were f1agrantly VIC

Mr.. Ford also charged that en-

intimidated and unlawfully coerced
by employers into voting for New
berry.
