We Like the Spirit
We surely appreciated . the kind
ness and consideration shown by
Mr. Robert Crawford when he in a
wheel chair brought his mother down
town, showing her a good time on
last Wednesday, when the town was
celebrating Ford day. The mother,
who is an invalid, enjoyed the occa
sion very much. We appreciate the
kindly spirit which prompts a manly
man to look after the welfare of his
mother, under whatever circum
stances it may be. - -
Thought and Action Beautiful
At the Ford day last Wednesday,
when thi're were prizes for all kinds
and conditions of men, we were es
pecially pleased with- the decision of
the judges, when they awarded the
prize for the most beautiful woman
in the parade to Grandmother Amg
wert, above those of younger and
more active years. . They reasoned,
and rightly too, that the woman who
has passed so many years in this
country, burdened with the rearing
of a larg e family and who has pro
duced as fine a. lot of young men and
women for the-country as has this
woman, und still under the testing of
thft mak'Tiir nf a tipw. rnnnt ra Into
what we have nere today, has main
tained tt.e sweetness of womanhood,
at the same time contributing her
self and her life to her family and
friends, she was indeed a most beau
tiful woman and we congratulate the
committee on their decision.

Yesterday was the date of the Fliv-

a great many people from the Imme-

The celebration began at 10 o'clock
when the registration book was of
ficially opened and all Ford owners
given opportunity to register for the
drawing, the winner to receive a full
set of Ford tire chains.
The zig-zag race was the first one
on the day's program of sports and
a goodly number of the popular pric
ed cars were entered. The race was
won by James Mills, who negotiated
the course In exactly a minute and a

ENACT AGAIN THE
EARLY SCENES OF
PONY EXPRESS
President Signals Start of. Eider from
St. Joseph, Mo., with Messages
for Pacific Coast Points.
Washington, Aug. 31. Stepping
from his office In the white house
to the telegraph room In the execu
tive offices. President Coolidge. at
11 a. m., today, pressed a gold key
and a signal was flashed to St. Jos
eph, Mo., starting off the first horse
man westward toward San Francisco
in a revival of the old pony express.
Many thousand people. Including
persons from all parts of the country,
were assembled at the spot where the
historic pony express had its start in
1860, to see the start of the revival.
Shepperd galloped thru the streets,
cheered by the throngs, to the bank
of the Missouri river, where he rode
on a boat which had been built espe
cially for the purpose of ferrying him
to the Kansas shore as in the early
day. Before the ferry boat had fairly
landed, Shepperd was dashing thru
Elwood, Kas., opposite St. Joseph and
making good time toward Troy, Kas.,
the first relay station, seventeen
miles from St. Joseph.
Before the getaway, Mayor George
E. Mclninich of St. Joseph addressed
the crowd, repeating the speech made
by General Jeff Thompson, mayor at
the time, who started the first pony
express rider from here, April 3rd,
I860. Following the start of the
pony riders today. Mayor Mclninich
and officers of the race started in mo
torcars to follow the same route to
San Francisco.
St. Joseph, Aug. 31. In the twen
tieth century revival of the historic
pony express tonight, one of the re
lay riders, bearing the pouch of mall
which left St. Joseph at 10 o'clock
this morning, is galloping westward
somewhere west of Topeka, Kansas,
in the race to Jjeat the express' best
time In those days when there was
no other communication between the
middle west and the Pacific coast.
Not over dustless, trackless pra fr
ies infested with hostile Indians and
roving bands of buffalo, but over a
highway of concrete that stretches
westward in the moonlight galloped
the rider tonight. Directly ahead. In
strong contrast to the horse and
rider who represent the carriers of
18G0, hurries along a modern vehicle
of travel, an enclosed motor car that
is setting the pace of twelve and a
half miles an hour for the pony ex
press. The horse and rider was ex
pected to reach Lawrence before dusk
and Topeka by 1 o'clock.
It was amid a picturesqua-ceJQe of
the 60's that the first rider, Robert
Lee Shepperd, galloped over to the
Old Pikes Peak stables, headquarters
here of the original pony express,
when President Coolidge in Washing
ton pressed a golden key that gave
the telegraphic signal to start the
express.
