FORD NOT CANDIDATE

Henry Ford g recent announcement
that he is not a candidate for the
presidency of the United States, and
his Endorsement of President Coolidge,
have played havoc politically.
Ford supporters throughout the
country were about as numerous as
his flivvers, and the Ford presiden-
tial boom, which Hennery, himself,
may nevfr have taken seriously, served
the very useful purpose of providing
the fii' vtr manufactures and his pro-
duct w''h an additional volume of
free advertising.
OF course, worse things could hap
pen than the placing of Henry Ford
in the presidential chair, but now that
he has eliminated himself and declared
for Coolidge, his army of presidential
hackers will be in quandry, for many
of them will not be content to support
an old-line candidate.

SQUAW MEN

I Daughter of Jim Bridger, the ole
man of the Montana mountains, il
suing the producer of 1.-THE Covered
Wagon" motion picture of pioneer
days in the west, for cold million.
In the picture, Jim is portrayed as a
heavy drinker and as living with two
Indian squaws.
The daughter, Mrs. Hahn, residing
in Kansas City, declares her father
was an upright, honorable man, new
er known to have drunk to excess. !"
We don't know anything about the
private life of Jim Bridger, but many
an honored pioneer of the sixties in
Idaho doubtless was guilty of hugging
two squaws, and so far as the re-
spcctability of man who occasionally
took a drink in those days is con-
cerned, well, lines weren't very care
fully drawn in that regard. either
Many man, who today would he
called a "heavy drinker,' were the
stuff available. probably in those DAYS
vas considered as one who only now
md then took a drink for sociabil- |
tvs sake. What changes time has
wrought
