THERE seems to be more or less
contusion relative to the hand-

on cars sold between August 1,1914
and August 1, 1915.
THIS is to advise that every own-
er should endorse the Profit
Sharing Rider in ink, the same as
the signature on the Buyer's Order,
and mail direct to the Ford Motor

visable not to detach theHider from

On Woman's Sph«r«

duty of every voter to etvdy carefully thta aubjeci Hoa.
Flihu Root, in dlacuaalng tbla quealloo before the Con*U-
lutional Conventloa of New fork, recently aald III part:
"I am opposed lo the granting of auffrage to women,
because 1 beilete that It would be a low* to women, loall
women aad to every woman, and becauae I believe It
would be an Injury lo Ibe Stale, and to evary man and
avery woman lo Ibe Utate It would be uaeleaa to argue tbla If the right of
auffrage were a natural rlgbt If It were a natural right, then women abonld
have It though the heavena fall. Hut If there be any one thing eettled In tbe
long dlacuasloa of tbla aubject. It la that suffrage la not a natural rtfbt. but la
almply a meena of government, aod the aole queatlon to be dlacuaaad la
whether government by ibe auffrage of men and woman will be better foe-
ernment tban by tbe auffrage of men alone
Into my Judgmeni. air, there entera no element of tha Inferiority of
woman It la not that-woman la Inferior to man. but It la that woman la
different from man; that In the dl*tributlon of powera. of capacltiea. of
qualltiea, our Maker haa created man adapted to the performance of certain j
function* In the economy of tmtura and aocleiy. and woman adapted lo lbe|
performance of other function*.
Woman rulea today by tha aweet and noble Influence* of her character.
Put woman luto tbe arena of conflict and ahe abandona theae great weapons
which control the world, and *he takea'lnto her band*, feeble and nerveleaa
for strife, weapon* with which ahe la ssfamlllar and which ahe la unable to
wield Woman In atrife becomea hard, barah. unlovable, repulalve; aa far
removed from that gentle creature to whom we all owe allegiance and to
whom we confeaa *ubml*alon. a* the bosven la romoved from the earth.
The whole adence of government la the *clence of protecting life and
liberty and the pursuit of bapplneaa. In the divine distribution of powera,
tbe duty and the right of protectloif reata with the male. It la ao through-
out nature. It la ao with men. and I, for one, will never conaent to part
with the divine right of protecting my wl/e. my daughter, the women
whom I love, and the women whom I reaped, exerclalng the birthright of
man. and place that high duty In the weak and nerveleaa handa of thoae
dealgned by God lo be protected rather than to engage In the atern warfare
of government. In my judgment, thla whole movement arlaea from a falae
conception of tbetduty and of the right of both men and women.
The time wnl never come w-hen the line of demarcation between tbe
fnnctlona of the two aexea will be broken down. I believe It to be falae phl-
loaophv; I believe that It la an attempt to turn backward upon the line of
aocial development, and that If the atep ever be taken, we go centurlea back-
ward on the march towarda a higher, a nobler and a purer civllliatlon. which
must be found not In the confuaion. but In tbe higher differentiation of the
aexea."

NOTICE TO PONY CONTESTANTS
To the boys and girls who are >n
the pony contest, we wish*o call your
attention to the fact that there are
rules which you must work by, and
unless you do this you may be with-
drawn from the contest. First it is
strictly against the rule3 of the con-
test to ask anyone for votes when
they are in any of the stores which
give away votes in this contest. It is
also against the rules to 3olicit votes
in front of any of the 3tores, as this
annoys the customers, and is bother-
some to the merchants.
Second: When you receive post
cards at the time of registering, yo't
will from now one be informed that
these cards will not count anything
for you unless they are mailed out
to your friends, then when your
friends make a purchase at any of the
3tores which are in the contest you
will be given credit for 100 votes.
These cards must be mailed and the
stamp cancelled before they will be
counted. The merchants who are in
this contest do not intend to give
anyone the be3t of it, and all are go-
ing to see that everyone gets a square
deal. The tickets are all number ed,
and are being kept, so that there will
be Ao chance for any votes to be
counted unles3 they are regular bona
fide votes.
The pony and buggy will be here
on display several weeks before the
close of the contest.

On Railway Investments
President Wilson, recently referring, to our railroad
problems, said In part: "They are Indispensable to!
our whole economic life and railway securities are atj
the very heart of most investments, large and small, public
and private, by individuals and by institutions. * * *i
There is no other interest so central to the business wel-,
fare of the country, as thia. No doubt, in the light of the!
new day. with its new understandings, the problem of thei
railroads will also be met and dealt with in a spirit of
candor and Justice."
When the first citizen of the land stresses the import
ance of understanding and dealing Justly with the rail
roads, certainly the American plowman can venture upon
a careful study of the problem. C. E. Schaff, president of the M. K. & T.
railway company, when asked to outline the relation of the public to rail-
roads investments, said in part:
"It may be said that the railroad world is encumbered with a lot ot
phantoms which exist only In the popular fancy. For Instance, because
there have been a few so-called 'railroad magnates' whose names have figured
prominently in finance, many people have come to believe that the railroads
of the country are largely owned by a few rich men. As a matter of fact
nothing could be farther frkm the truth. Out of the colossal sum of twenty
billion dollars of American railroad securities, less than five per cent Is now,
or ever has been. In the hands of these men who have figured prominently In
the newspaper headlines—while the other 95 per cent Is in the hands of over
two minion investors, large and small, who in many instances have put the
modest savings of a lifetime into these securities in order that they might
lay away a competency for old age. When, therefore, the value of these
securities is depressed or perchance destroyed, the hardship is a hundred-
fold greater upon thousands of every day citizens, than upon the handful of
millionaires, good or bad, who have figured prominently in railroad circles.
Hundreds of millions of dollars of the assets of our great life and fire
Insurance companies, savings banks, trust companies, educational and fiduciary
Institutions are invested in railroad bonds—and the moment, therefore, that
the soundness of these bonds is called into question the financial solidity of
these myriad institutions—directly affecting the welfare of millions of policy-
holders and bank depositors—Is gravely menaced. During the last several
years, many millions of dollars representing depreciated values, have been
charged oft the books of concerns like those enumerated above. American
railroads have become a vital part of the very woof and fabric of the nation.
Their continued efficiency is absolutely essential to the smallest community
in the land.
In blindly striking at the railroads our blows fall not merelv upon thou-
sands who have committed no wrong, but, in the last analysis, upon ourselves.
Wa should remember how Interdependent we have come to be In this mighty
republic of ours—that each is in truth become more end more his brother's
keeper, and that we need to act and think circumspectly, ]pst in our mistaken
zeal we destroy those who, like ourselves, need whatever of this world's
goods the toil and sweat of years has bequeathed to them."

On "Back to the Soil With Wall Street"
When Wall Street wants good business men she
usually goes back to the soil to get them. That financial
thoroughfare is said to be honeycombed with men who
have plowed barefooted, who have drunk branch water,
eaten cornbread and molasses and slept on the floor in
their early days. A man is more capable of holding the
reins of business who knows how to drive a team of
mules, shear a sheep or put a ring in a shoat's nose. A
man is better equipped to meet the problems of life who
In his youth has walked the log across tbe creek to get
to school, courted tbe girl* at busking bees and
pitched horse shoes Saturday afternoon. A man who bas
spent the moonlight night* of hi* youth possum hunting, going to protracted
meetings and occasionally turning down the community at s spelling matcfc
has the right *ort of *tuff In him to make a good business man. The active
officials of most of the large business organization* of America it i* said
were with a very few exceptions, raised on the farm, and could swim the
creek, pitch hay, chop wood, milk the cows or slop tbe bogs as easily aa
they can run world-wide business institutions.
The farmer* look to these capable and loyal sons of the Boil to aasist in
the solution of the business problems of agriculture. Wall Street la reputed
to be capable of financing everything from a Y M. C. A. to a war, so why not
finance agriculture? It 1* not sufficient to lend money to a correspondent to
lend to a locnl banker, to lend to a broker to lend to a merchant, to lend to
the landlord to lend to a farmer. Such a financial system sounds like the
house that Jack built, and Is just about a* useful Neither is assistance com-
plete when money is furnished buyer* to "move tbe crop." What the farmer
want* i* money to hold the crop. What better security is there than a ware-
houae receipt for a bale of cotton, a sack of wheat or a bushel of corn and
why will such securities not travel by the side of government bonds?
Tbe American farmer is a capable plowman He always has filled and al-
ways will fill the nation s granary, larder and wardrobe, but he has nothing
to sav in fixing tbe price of his pmducU. The problem confronting tbe farm-
er* of tbj* nation today la marketing and It* solution depends first upon the
farmer organising for concert of action and tbe co-operation of tbe financial
Interests in marketing the crop. Agriculture ia tbe biggest business to
