to the graceful lines, while a wind

could not withstand the high heat

reason finishes in colors other than
black had to be put on in the form
Of common paints and varnishes.
The Oldsmobile sport touring Is
finished in a beautiful shade of green
called "weathered bronze" giving it
a smart appearance. A black and

Supply company.
This feature was particularly noted
by representatives, Of the Odds Motor
Works, Lansing, Mich. They reported
that at the various shows they at
tended the new six-cylinder Oldsmo-
bile sport touring car attracted the
most attention. This model has as
standard equipment everything that
an automobilist needs or desires.
One of the chief features Of the
Oldsmobiie sport touring and one that
is exclusive is the new colored baked
enamel finish. This finish was per-
fected by the Odds Motor Works and
Is even more durable than is the
black enamel used By several of the

The company will soon hold an

He is preparing to take energetic

Towards this end he has ordered
that no political speeches be delivered

Interfered with Elections
The repeated attempts. of President
Zayas to interfere with the election is
the immediate cause of the disturb

his present campaign itinerary.
Returns to Familiar Scenes.
Foster felt very much at home in
Portland. He sailed out of there as
sailor on a square-rigged ship in
1901. After two years before the
mast and sailing around the globe, he
returned to Portland. He lived in AL
bina for while, working in the rail-
road yards; then he took UP an Ore.
gon homestead, near Mosier and prov
ed up on it.
Single handed he cleared twenty
acres of Oregon timber and raised
twelve hundred dollars worth of po-
tatoes on the clearing. That was
shortly before the 1907 panic. Foster
was then a member of the socialist
party and took an active part in what
was to be the first left wing fight, as
leading left winger Foster still has
three sisters living in Portland, and
having lived there himself for almost
twelve years, he now returned to his
old stamping ground" as the Commu-
mist candidate for president.
Meeting Is Enthusiastic.
The Foster meeting held in Port
land on Sunday night, Sept rs, was
the most successful and most enthu-
siastic meeting yet held on Fosters
Pacific Coast trip. The Oddfellow's
Hall was filled to capacity by an au-
dience that had paid twenty-five cents
admission each. District Organizer Nor
man H. Tallentire presided at the
meeting. A collection of almost two
hundred dollars was taken and almost
fifty dollars worth Of literature was
sold
For solid two hours Foster anal
yzed and pilloried the capitalist insti-
tutions and the political organizations
of the capitalist class, the leaders of
the political groups in the present
campaign He paid special attention
to Robert M. LaFollette. From begin
ming to end of Fosters speech the au-
dience was riveted with attention.
Time after time as he slashed into
Coolidge and Davis the audience
cheered loudly. His expose of LaFol-
lette, as the saviour of the "independ-
ent businessmen" and the capitalist
system was roundly applauded.
Hits Social Cancer.
Foster said, in conclusion: Private
ownership of industry is the social
cancer which is forcing workers into
lives of poverty and misery.
Unemployment is the sign of the
breakdown Of the capitalist system.
There is no cure for unemployment,
but the abolition of the wages sys-
tenn. This can only come about thru
the organization of Soviets and the
dictatorshiop of the proletariat. Com
munism is the hope of the worlds

added, has created more sorrow and
hardship in the homes of workingmen
than any other one cause"
The delegates from Quebec, which
has government control, did not vote
as they did not wish to be criticized
as trying to influence Ontario, a dry
province at this time. They spoke,
however, and protested vigorously
that there was less immortality in their
own province than in Ontario.

BIRTHDAY PARTY.

A happy reminder OF the Halloween
season was the birthday party given
by Mrs. E. T. Woods in honor OF the
tenth birthday of her son, Franklin,
on Saturday afternoon. Decorations
suggestive OF Halloween were used in
the living room and dining room and
a witch impersonated by Miss Anne
Martin thrilled the young folks whose
fortunes she told. After an afternoon
spent in bobbing for apples, fishing
for grapes and fortune telling the
children were ushered into the dimly
lighted dining room where they found
miniature witches and half-moons Tor
place cards Delightful refreshments OF
ice cream and pound cake were serv--
ed from the beautifully appointed
table. Assisting Mrs. Woods in max
ing the event one long to be remem-
bered were Miss Willie Lee Smith
and Mrs Rodolph Woods.

u. D. C. MEETING.

The opening OF the Mary Brantley
chapter, U. D. c., was held at the
Log Cabin club house on Friday. Sep
TENDER is the month in which Raphael
Semmes was born, hence the papers
at this meeting bore on this subject.
A reading given by Mrs. E. E. Cooke,
Silly Questions, was well rendered,
and a song was sung by Miss Nellie
LANG, who is always enjoyed by her
hearers. Delegates to the conventions
in Quitman on October 18th and Sa-
vannah on Nov. 18th were elected-to
Quitman Mesdames J. NJ. Rauch, T.
B. Raines, w. A. Davidson, John
Hill and Steve Cooke; to Savannah
Mesdames J. R. Webb, J. NJ. Rauch,
T. B. Raines and J. NJ. Griggs of Daw-
son and Mesdames Charlie Jordan and
Joe Stevens of Sasser. After the bus
session refreshments were served by
the entertainment committee.

the farmer often buys a dozen or
more toads, turning them loose in his
garden.
In the old days the toad was be-
lieved to be poisonous, causing warts
to come on the hands when touched.
People were reported TO have died
from having eaten a leaf of a sage
bush under which a toad had burrow-
ed.
The creatures have aided science, in
as much as the contents OF their stom-
achs when emptied into water reveal
rare insects, generally beetles, which,
because OF their nocturnal habits, small
dimensions and neutral colorings, can
not be detected by the human eye.
Worms are also food OF which the
toad is very fond 1t affords an anus
ing spectacle when eating them. 1t
seizes a worm in the middle and, be-
cause of the worms writing and con-
tortions, cannot swallow it without
using its forefeet, which it manipu-
lates like hands. Sitting down quietly
with the worm, it gets busy pushing
the long Shiny thing down its jaws
first with one paw and then with the
other. With alternate pushes and
gups it soon has it eaten.
While much in the open, toad is
not fresh air hend, having the abili-
ty to sustain life for long periods of
time minus all oxygen. 1t is sluggish
in movement, usually crawling along
the ground at slow pace interspersed
with awkward leaps. 1t spends its
days in hiding, emerging for food
about twilight time or Immediately al
ter a rain. This latter habit gave cause
to an old legend to the effect that toads
fell with the rain.
The toad inhabits many countries.
but is found in greater numbers in the
tropics.
