POOR "ZIM"
For several y*ars Warren Zimmer-
man, formerly chief ramrod of The
Herald, was blamed by the Re-
publicans for their defeat in Texas
county, and now that the first cam-
paign has just closed since he took
charge of the Liberal News the Dem-
ocrats are giving him credit for Sew-
ard county going solidly democratic
for the first time in its history. And
some of them would have you believe
that Zimmerman is directly respon-
sible foi the loss of the whole state
to Wilson. However that may be, it
is confidently hoped by Zim's friends
that he will some day wake up to the
fact that his political tactics don't
win elections.
Chang* in the Indian
That the passion for efficiency is
far-reaching is indicated by a "little
preachment" made in the Carlisle
Arrow, published by the students of
the famous Indian school, by the su-
perintendent of the institution. He
tells his charges that for whatever
occupation they plan to equip them-
selves, preparation must be of the
most intensely thorough kind. He
urges that the housekeeper and the
farmer take no less pains in their
training than the teacher or the me-
chanic. "You will be prepared," he
adds, "to do good not only for your-
selves but for others; we cannot find
happiness alone in work for our-
selves. This would be pretty good

Speedy and Easy Riding
There's little comfort in most low priced
cars. You can't use their speeds. They
jostle you— they ride roughly — they
don't hold the road.
The $635 Overland is different. It is not
only the speediest of low priced cars—
But you can use the full speed of its power-
ful motor when you reed it.
It has long 42-inch, easy riding, shock ab-
sorbing cantilever rear springs. In addition
the 75 B Overland is a longer car—104-
inch wheelbase. And it has 4-inch tires.
Its smoothness and ease of riding at any
speed would do justice to a much larger
and heavier car.
Come in and let us demonstrate. That's
the best kind of proof.
advice for almost any young white
man. It is significant of the change
in the situation of the Indian that
the superintendent quotes Emerson
and Dr. Eliot in addressing the stu-
dents, seemingly with full confidence

ahead like anyone else, see that with-
in a few years the commercial de-
mand for whiskey will fall off at un-
precedented speed.
First Woman to Sit in Congrats
Miss Jeannette Rankin, attorney
at law and first woman elected to the
National Congress, has been for the
last seven years a power in the af-
fairs of Montana, which State she
will represent in the Lower House
for th<; next term.
The first American congresswoman
is a slender, girlish, comely, gray-
eyed young woman, as feminine of
deportment and as gentle of mien as
one could wish. On the rostrum her
manner, appearance and method of
forceful but quiet utterance impress
one with her mental strength and
there is nothing raucous, obtrusive
or masculine about the calm confi-
dence and captivating rationality of
Jeannette Rankin's speeches or man-
ner of public appeal.
The sophisticated and political wise
members of the next congress will
find no parliamentary gaucheries or
unethical impertinence in the behav-
ior of Miss Rankin in the halls of
congress. She has been a delegate
to a dozen state and national conven-
tions, she is an adept parliamentar-
ian, a shrewd debater, a logical and
eloquent conversationalist, . andv
withal, a woman of much dignity and
rare scholarship.
Record Beef Price
Kansas City, Nov. 14—A record
price for beef cattle was paid at the
local yards today when forty head,
averaging 1,375 pounds each, sold
for $11.40 a hundred pounds. The
previous high price was $11.35, paid
in December, 1914.
