COMPANY HAS
BIG BUSINESS
Mr.. Wallace Has Worked
Up Splendid Oakland
u Organization.

Mr.. Wallace Henry, who. is man
ager and owner Of the Henry Motor
company, corner Of Fourth and Uni
versity venue began handling the
Oakland automobiles in the fall of
1914.
When Mr.. Henry took over the con-
tract for theQorth half OF. North Da-
Minnesota, the Oakland was prac-
tically new in this territory as only a
few Oaklands had been sold in this
district.
Since commencing to handle the
Oakland on a distributors contract,
Mr.. Henry has worked W an excellent
organization and the Oakland sales
have been increasing by leaps and
bounds until now there is Al Oakland
dealer and service station in prac-
tically every town Of any importance
throughout this territory. The Henry
Motor company makes a speciality of
handling only one line of automobiles
and has made a wonderful success
with the Oakland. due to the quality
Of the product and Mr.. Henry's
executive ability as an organizer.
The Henry Motor company opened
a branch at Minot the first Of the year
and Mr.. Barney A. johnson has been
secured as manager. Mr.. johnson
for several years and during his serv,
ice with, the Oakland has esta 5lished
n wonderful record for looking after
customers and dealers.
The Oakland product holds a ire
mendously strong position on the
market today. Oakland cars are be-
ing produced in large quantities
again as the company is among the
first to get back to q big manufac-
turing program and their plans for
1919 assure the largest production of
Oakland Sensible Skies in the history
Of the company.
Mr.. Henry states that the sale Of
Oakland ca-s is better since h sign
ing Of the armistice than ever before
since he went into the business.

New National Organization
 Of Great Benefit To Women
Miss Grata L. Rice, Local Delegate to Convention Out lines Purposes and Aims of Federation of Profes- sional and Business Women-To Be Political, But Non Partisan.

With over 5o.ooo women of the United States, representing every phase of the business world and all kinds of professions as members of the Federation of Professional and Business Women, and with the spirit diate reform of all evils existing in the country. the new organization promises to be one of the greatest factors in the welfare of the coun- try Returning from the conference of the organization hold last week in St Louis, Miss Gratia L. Rice, Juve- nile Court officer, who has been elect ed first national treasurer, brings back a message full of enthusiasm, hope and splendid results.
 Briefly outlining the object of the organization, Miss Rice states that the chief purpose Is for universal benefit of women-the transmission and the information throughout the United States of the welfare of womankind in the country. The or ganization will serve to inform those in power of the unjust treatment of women. Protection and equal rights will be spread throughout the coun- try for the benefit of the women.
 As an example of injustice, Miss Rice noted the Civil Service Com mission which prohibits women from participating in certain examina-
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-07-28

uons. One of the principal works of the organization will be to see that women are not barred from examina- tions under the auspices of the Civil Service and that women enter on the same plane with men In all activi- ties and all capacities in the business and professional world.
 The organization Is political, but non-partisan. With such an able bodied orga nization, men who prove unfair to the justice of womankind, will be prevented from various polit- ical offices, According to Miss Rice's opinion, the men will now "sit up and take notice"
 The treasury boasts of $10,oo0 as a beginning and with the resumption of the work of the anization 1t is hoped that more funds will be pro- cured.
 Lawyers, doctors, merchants, newspaper women, teachers, com mercial enterprises and even brokers were represented among the great all the states in the union. Each one present had a definite purpose In view and plans and arrangements were made and will be carried out in the best possible manner.
 Miss Carolyn Merchant of New Ha- ven was elected as vice president to the new organization.

Household Hints

There are special brushes for wash ing cut glass. but if you have none use a nail brush. A brush is really a necessity to obtain good results. Use hot water in which a few drops of ammonia has been dissolved. Rinse well in bluing water.
 For a percoIator, chafing dish or any cooking utensil that comes in di- rect contact with heat, nickel is high iy satisfactory. Nickled articles are also easy to keep in good condition. They do not tarnish and only require a washing in soapy water and rinsing in clear hot water to keep them bright.
 To remove precipitation stains from a silk blouse moisten the spot with cold water and then cover with French chalk. Leave 1t for "A hours, then shake off the chalk. If the stain is still apparent, repeat the process.
 Where there are small children, or creeping ba bies, the screen door will suffer from the little hands and weights against 1t. Nail a smooth, planed strip a little over half way up on the bottom section. Baby finds it just right to grasp for a support while he looks out and the door will not suffer.
