livery mandfacturer-every dealer-every sales-
n man. Ia conscious today Of an unprecedented
situation that is rapidly developing In the motor
car industry.
A striking change In the public demand for motor
cars has taken place.
Nothing equal to 1t has ever been encountered
before.
Last winter, those individuals who quickly sense
the public pulse anticipated the terrific demand for
motor cars of all types which later developed.
This demand has not yet been satisfied. 1t will not
be satisfied until fundamental conditions of production
and transportation radically change.
Now in the midst of the mass of production OBJ
staces there has developed demand for enclosed
and roadsters far beyond the capacity of the industry
to supply.
More than this a spirit of economy has taken hold
Of the public mind. People to whom wealth 10 not
setting the example to all by choosing motor
In which economy Is combined with reliability and dis
tinctiop.
Therefore, 1t teens proper to give another friendly
word Of warning those thousands of people who have
logically reached the conclusion to buy fighter,
economical closed car; replace bulky with

delivery extremely uncertain

Prices Not Going Down

People, who have never known the real basis Of
motor demand (which is utility and convenience in
individual transp0rtation) have idea how ridiculous
1t Is, under present conditions to talk about satura
tion points falling of In demand for good cars;
lower prices for fairly priced standard makes.
There about eight million automobiles In
America, and possibly eight hundred thousand In all
the world beside.
A few hundred thousand of these enclosed cars,
mostly of the heavier type.
The production of enclosed bodies last year was
about one hundred and sixty thousand.
The daily production right now is greatly handi-
capped by shortage OF expert labor glass; hardware,
sheet metal and by difficulties of transportation.

Keep Your Gan.

Today, we recommend that you buy Jordan and
keep your car.
You know, Of course In the last analysis that the
second hand value of motor Is the final test
of survival for the for the dealer
and satisfaction to the owner.
The Jordan is superbly balanced-weiehine twenty
eight hundred pounds hundred forward and
fourteen hundred astern.
1t springs forward lightly to the throttle-dis-
patches the days work with alacritynds its place
the curb qucky-responds instantly to the touch of
woman's hand, and brings you home night eratifed
with a day Of comfort and convenience.
One year ago Jordan announced the famous Play
boy.
Snappy, individual l-unfailine to inspire-the
Jordan Payboy is the forerunner of the roadster of
the future-the which many busy men and women
will make their preference.
Scarcely did we realize the country wide demand
for roadster of this distinctive character convenience
and style.
Never have been able to approach the point
where we could supply this demand.
Four years ago. we built our first five passenger
Broueham, with all aluminium body, exqusitely
Notwithstanding in style.

The world wide demand indicates the ready sale of
at least million closed If the manufacturers
can ever get them out
Time when people who possess old money
alone in the enjoyment of high 9rade enclosed
They bought heavy believing that only In
that way could they obtain distinction and reliability.
Time was when the annual production of five
hundred closed by any factory was a big
put.
Time was when the annual production of fve
hundred roadsters considered large.

The Day OF Economy
is DQv11if1g

The hour of the light weight, hieh-erade good
looking balanced economical, handy, convenient,
comfortable, sensible, automobile Is here.
Manufacturers who have the Gift Of foresight,
have been struggling for months increase the closed
production to the point where 1t may least equal
the open car output
But they cannot possibly attain this result for
many months to come
This, therefore, s friendly warning to the public
to those who expect to get delivery Of enclosed
q roadster before winter comes.
Four years ago the Jordan Company, anticipated
this inevitable change.
We knew that the man who thought 1t nee
essary to choose heavy to obtain reliability would
eventually prefer in which reliability Is combined
with economy and distinction.
We produced the Jordan Silhouette and from that
day the factory has been thousands of orders behind
We knew that the who thought it wise to
choose cheaper thinking to realize economy would
eventually prefer In which the original price Is
practically the last payment for service rendered.
We put quality into every detail of the Jordan,
knowing that reliability is the last word in service
regardless of price,
Ten thousand today testify the reliability
and economy of the Jordan.
Color, comfort, sood-taste and atmosphere have
made 1t beautiful.

Envied His Mustache

II can remember him, though, as
very young man coming back on
a visit to school. He had a dark
mustache, not very heavy crop,
and | was envious of it,
Mrs. Alma Dickerson apologized
for her blue calico frock that seemed
to be engaged in struggle to keep
her ample form from protruding at
hook -and-eye gaps, cautioned her
grandchildren to drink their milk
and finish their dinner, and then
said:
Everybody around here knows
Warren Harding, and he is kin to
my husband. | used to 20 to school
with him, though I was mite older.
He had to pass our house twice
day. He was right pleasant dis
positioned little feller, but he really
grew up over at Caledonia: that's
between here and Marion. He was
always smart. One of the girls who
went to school with us was his
youngest aunt, Mrs. Ella Dickerson.
of North Market Street. in Gallon.
That's in Crawford County, Just
over the line, but it's right on the
road to Caledonia. She could tell
lots about him when he was little"
The aunt of the Presidential nomi-
nee was also attired in blue calico,
but hers is a more slender figure
than that Of the other Mrs. Dicker-
son. Her hair, which she admitted
was gray. was concealed beneath a
plain covering that some persons
might think was boudoir cap, but
which any buckeye born in Ohio
would recognize as a busting cap.
'I'm his aunt, but Warren and
played tog E41y," she began. I'm

ceremony of fumigation day or
two ago and were moving their few
sticks of furniture back into the
front room, where there is an organ
and wall paper unrelieved by any
border design, when Landlord Erick-
son came into the yard.
Getting ready to move, eh?" he
queried, and then before the Widow
Baker could deny it he added: "You
know this here is the house where
Warren Harding was born, and now
that he's going to be President
some of the fellows over to Mount
Gilead want to restore it like it
was and give it to him."
Il hadn't any idea of moving"
said Mrs. Baker, a bit Historically,
land it don't seem right to put me
out after the way I've slaved on
this place. and pa planted my po-
tatoes and my brother planted my
corn, and we're just getting started.
1t just don't seem right"
Farmer Erickson assured her that
she would be reimbursed for her
crop if the plan went through and
went on to explain that the men
from Mount Gilead thought it would
be fine surprise compliment to
Senator Harding to rip the porch
off the house, tear off the weather
boards from the sides, leaving ex-
posed the shiplap, as in Civil War
days, and replace the windows with
the old six-pane sashes through
which Warren Gamaliel Harding
first looked out on the world.
Senator Harding is big man,
but l ought to count for something
with all these young ones," declared
Mrs. Baker, and went into the po-
tato patch to look for bugs.
Word of this scheme reached
Marion, thirty miles away in the
adjoining county. and came to the
ears Of the Rev. Mr.. McAfee, pastor
of Trinity Baptist Church, of which
Senator Harding is a trustee.
Objected in Harding's Name
Senator Harding won't counte-
nance this for minute, and if he
learns that this widow has suffered
worry on his account, even though
indirectly, you'll see how fast he'll
make it up to her" Mr.. McAfee
counted this an opportunity to ex-
press an estimate of Mr.. Harding
and said:
"He has the dignity to grace any
Office, yet he is so full of cordiality
his dignity does not interfere with
your getting close to him. You are
perfectly at home with him. He is
a kindly man and devotional one"

Strengthened out, even if Senator
Harding has to discover" that he

Spoke a ''Piece" at School
The school teacher was proud of
his baby son and sometimes took
him to school with him, and when
he was three let him speak a piece
of four lines one Friday afternoon.
"He could hardly wait till he let
that piece off, said old DR.. Hard

Marion, where the news that his son
had been given the Republican nomi-
nation for President had started a
train of recollections that carried
the white haired, sun-browned old
man back to the days of his young
manhood, when the Presidential
nominee was pert little tyke."
Stephen Byram Appleman, the
oldest of the sixty people of Bloom

Harding, the little boy. Mr.. Apple

after his tomato vines in his back

TF OLD Amos King we're alive to-
day he probably would admit
that the mistake was his and
not his daughters, though he
was hard as cement once his mind
had set.
Dichersons and Hardings are al
most as plentiful in Morrow County,
Ohio, as the gray sheep that crop
grass and carry on their affairs in
the fallow fields of every farm III
this black soil region. On his moth
er's side Unit7d States Senator War

son, and so. If every one of his kin
people casts a vote for him next No
yember Morrow County will poll a
solid Republican vote.
These are simple country folks for
the most part, and the hired man
if they have a hired man-eats at
the table. The Dickersons and
Hardings have 1ntermarried to such
an extent that a Harding may not
say an unkind word about the Dick
ersons without insulting himself, and
the reverse also applies. Senator
Harding is double cousin" to some
Of these people.
All Talk of Warren
So nowadays, when the family
groups gather around the golden oak
dining room table at noon, they talk
Of Warren and delight one another
with stories Of his boyhood. When
the occupants of diver or a mud
stained buggy stop in the road to ex-
change the time Of day with the blue,
overalled, broad-brimmed straw
hated operator of the cultivatol
that breaks the soil between the rows
Of foot-high corn, they talk of War
rsn and the smart things he did
and said when he was boy. When
the horses are brought in from the
fields at night, the talk around the
great barns hat overshadow the
houses is of Warren and his school
days. His foreign policy worries
them not at all, nor his stand on
Philippine independence, nor his vote
on the peace treaty. 1t is a relative,
not statesman, they are inter
ested in.
In one Of the smallest farmhouses
Of Morrow County, in Blooming
Grove, settlement of sixty people
lives Mrs. Addie Baker, a widow
woman" as the neighbors put it.
She moved in last September with
ner brood of FIVE children in brave
effort to reestablish the home that
had been broken up when her
husband died, about the time
hree-year-old Lee was born. She
rented the place for very small
sum from the owner, II. F. Erickson,
Who classes it as a tenant farm.

An End to Doughnuts

when he'd come over about the
first thing he'd say was, Got any
doughnuts, MOTHER and she'd al
ways load him up. Then his mother
discovered this and instructed him
not to ask for them again.
Next time he came over he said.
Mother, wish my mommy had some
lard. so we could have some dough-
nuts
Would you like some? she asked,
and he said, Yes, but m not allowed
to ask for any. He got them with
out asking after that The Dicker-
sons in those days had a kind of an
tipathy for pork or lard They were
very hygienic about their cooking.
"After Warren was older he
taught school for few terms just
out of Marion. was reading an old
letter from him recently, in which
he mentioned his class saying. It's
l o'clock. III have to call in my herd
and give them their brain fodder
He fairly worshipped his mother.
She was an invalid for years before
she died. He was lovely to her.
, There was one blind sister, Mary
Clarissa, who died seven years ago.
, He was always doing something for
her. She taught in the state insti-
tuition for the blind at Columbus.
She had just one twenty-fourth of
her sight, barely enough to tell night
from day.
"She was just tiny child when
we discovered she was going blind.
She used to come 10 her grandmother
and say, I wish you'd thread my
needle, and once my mother said,
You with young eyes ought to be
able to thread needle lot better
than me- and Mary Clar:ssa said
she had tried bat it makes my fore

she put it, and then they tested her
little eyes and found she was going
blind. She was very fond of Warren.
