On January Eth, 1926, Dodge Brothers, Incorpor- ated, will announce a tremendous reduction in the prices of their complete line of motor cars.
 These reductions will apply on all cars bought af ter midnight, December 15, 1925.
 When the new prices made known on January 7th, the full amount of the reductions will be immedi- atey refunded to all purchasers since December 15th
 These revolutionary reductions made possible by recently completed ten million dollar expansion program--new buildings and equipment that will nearly double the capacity of Dodge Brothers factor ies in 1926.
 There is no change in the policy upon which Dodge Brothers established their leadership yearsago the policy of constant improvement without yearly models.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

04AN a man of sixty really
Olove?" inquiries Timid Soul.
Yes-if his heart Is not SO ossi-
fled or worn out from ovelwork.
And, which is more, my son, ne
can be really loved!
The older we grow, the better
we love, and the more We need
love. But il you are seventy or
fifty, or even over forty, "pick
on" somebody in your own class.
Nobody younger wants to take
care Of your crutches and your
false teeth.
The most pathetic spectacle OF
this topsy -turvy age is that of the
bald-headed Lothario, who finds
that his wife is too old for him,
and starts playing around with
his daughters schoolmates. He
is riding for q fall which will
leave him with chronic paralysis
Of the vanity.
Every man has the delusion
that he is "as young as he FEELS.
and that to marry a woman half
his age will make him feel
Younger. But when he does, the
world smiles-and the angels burst
into tears, because they know
that two people have set out in
search of the Bluebird and turned
down the wrong road.
No couple can keep step when
one is dancing an old-fashloned
waltz and the other is trying to
do the Charleston. No two hearts
can keep in tune when one is a
violin product and the other Is u
product of the saxaphone age
TT YOU are lonely at forty or
fifty or ninety, fall in love and
marry by all means-but marry
somebody who did the same sums
that YOU did in school, speaks
YOUR language, shares your mem
cries and dreams your dreams.
It's rather fun to look into the
MIRROR together and compare

divided.

hands and go down Hill togetner.

Love is the greatest youth1fier
and beautifier in the world. 1t is

II you have missed your mate or
