The very next morning after the
dinner party at Helen Sheridan's a
big box of roses arrived. They were
yellow tea roses, the kind Helen had
used for her table the night before,
and there was card asking if Mar
tin Lee might call.
She had told him something about
her posing and he had been interested.
OF course, he had asked the usual
questions. Wasn't it very tiring2 And
how long did she hold pose before
the artist gave her time to rest. AT

Any event that is of interest to the majority of the

ing must be included the announcement made by Henry
Ford that his new will be shown to the public
Friday of this week.
Hundreds of thousands throughout the world have
eagerly awaited the product of the Detroit wizard
since he made his astounding declaration early in the
summer that he would discontinue the manufacture
of the famous Model T-butt of many ioke-but ac
knowiedged by all as the instrument that brought
Joyment to millions, gave the poor the same op
portunty for pleasure the rich and which has been
OF the greatest constructive forces in the lives of
a generation of Americans.
Ford has revolutionized manufacturing methods and
has built up establishment that outranks anything
of its sort in the world 1t is admitted that his Model
gave full value to the millions who purchased them
He has made promises concerning his model that
bid fair to cause considerable interest the automo-
bile world.
As the Model stimulated automobile sales when it
placed on the market nineteen years ago. so the
new model Ford is expected to stimulate present actv-
tiles Manufacturers of other will not suffer from

INDIANS IN HISTORY

1t inevitable that the Indians should butt into
this 100 per cent Amercanism game sooner or later
and Mayor Thompson of Chicago has given them a
good preteXt.
When it comes to truth in history they say how
about the accounts Of Indian given in school
books? Nearly always the Indian is represented as q
bloodthrsty savage whom the whites, in war after war
have been obliged TO fight in sef-defense lest the
whites be extermnated. On the contrary say educat
ed Indians the Indian have all been caused by
the land-grabbng and other aggressons of the whites
and the Indians have merely fought brave but unaya
ing ars in their defense.
Moreover, they insist the red is the real Amer
ican-the only 100 percenter there is, even though
there may be question of his Nordc blood-and

where they not wanted.

well known sogan-"Buy early
The Christmas shopping season puts severe strain
those whose duty it is to take of the buying
public. Their work is increased many fold during the
weeks just previous Christmas and it is only fair to
them that the buying public should be considerate.
This idea applies to those responsible for the
dispatch of Christmas goods to other sections of the
country-the mail, express and railroad employees
If the buying public will bear in mind that the bur-
den of those who serve them is heavy one at this
