Comparison and Common Sense will surely lead ycju to purchase a FORD MODEL T CAR.
There is a string of Reasons longer than your arm why the Ford "Model T Car is the best car to buy. Do some
comparing and measure the merits of all cars by comparison, coupled with the records of what the cars have done.
There nrc In excess of 70,000' Ford Motor Cors in actuhl service today. More thun 40,000 of these nre Model T. Cars. There are
more Ford Motor Cars in uso today than thero arc of any other individual moke in all the world. There's a reason. Ford Model T Cars
"arc in actual service in alljparts of the civilized world and the demand for them is increasing at an amazing rate. In 1010 the Ford
Motor Company made am) sold 20,003 Ford Model T Cars. In 1011 they are making 30,001 more of this same splendid car. Ford
Model T Cars are standard, they am the sarno us they were three years ago: that is the chnssis, the design, the mechanism is tho same,
the only change being littlgrefiuements added here and thero to increase the' convenience and accessibility in operation. In this respect
Ford Model T Cars stand alone. Wo reached tha standard of certainty, reliability, service, satisfaction as near as perfection as man
could expect of three ycarsago. The quality of use for all kinds . of roads, hill climbing, furm life, touring, for family pleasure, or the
activities of business, every "'Strenuous demand has been satisfied,, met by Ford Model T Cnrs.keHce the absaltite auHrasce the parakaier

If you purchase a Ford Model T Car and a3 a result of your selection saved $5.00 a month on its up keep, you would have lessened
i
your purchase cost $G0 in one years time, if you saved $100 a. year think of the profit on the investment. The Ford's not a oncyear
car hundreds and hundreds of Ford owners have run their cars year after year at an average monthly expense of $10 and we have heard
of many cases where they havt done better. The Ford Model T gives its owners less trouble, is the simplest and mo3t powerful of Its class
and can be run and maintained at less cost under any and all conditions than any other automobile regardless of make and price, Use
no sentiment in purchasing your automobile, make it cold business, a question of dollars and cehts not only in first co3f but more im-
portment still UPKEEP COST. ,
I have just taken the agency for the famous Ford Model T Cars for Lincoln, Logan. Keith and Perkins counties and respectfully
solicit a call from all parties intending to purchase an automobile. Compare Ford Model T with any other cars regardless of price. En
joy a demonstration and I will leave the rest with you.

Cody Arrives in New York.
(New York Times.)
Col. William F. Cody, known tho
world over aa "Buffalo Bill," arrived
in town yesterday and took up hla old
quarters at the Hoffman House, Tho
colonel looked oven younger than when
last here, but admitted that he wats
many pounds heavier than n year ago.
This improvement, so Major John M,
Burke asserts, is due not only to tho
Invigorating qualities of the ciimato of
Arizona but also to tho pride nnd joy of
tho Colonel in the proposal of prominent
business men of Tucson to sond him to
Washington as first Senator when tho
Territory acquires Statehood. When
this happens Major Burko will be Col.
Cody's campaign manager. Incidently,
he is looking forward to cutting off his
curly locks and setting down in Wash
ington as the Senator's secretary.
"What havo you tosoy about tne aen
atorshlp?" the Colonel was asked yesterday.
"Woll. there nre a grout many busi
ness men and politicians out thero who
have resided in the Territory for yoars
that arc more entitled to be sent to toe
Senate than myself, but at a dinner
given to me before I left TucBon the
gueBts seemed to ttunK mat. ns i nau

make the country fit for hem to live
in, I ought to bo its first representa
tive."
"What will bo your platform if you
aro nominated?"
"I truoss I'll wait till I got thoro and
thtn fire right out in my usual way,"
he replied. v
"llow do you i"ei on reciprocity"
"That will bo all settled before
Arizona gets her Statehood, I'm think
ing, and, any way, I won't ford the
rivor until I got to it."
"Do you believe that women snouiu
have a vote?"
"You bet I do" sa d Colonel Cody.
"Why shouldn't our mothers and wives
and sisters who huvo grawn up and
helped to make tho United States th
country it is to-day, havo a vote a well
as those aliens who come here and stay
five years and thun have a vote before
they cannpeak English? Count me in
for the women every time."
"How would you deal with tho crime
wave in New xorK (Jlty, colonel"
"Haven't heard of it. Whore's my
Run?.'.' . . .
"What are your views on tho harem
aklrt?" hwns asked.
"I've only just got hero, and haven't
seen any of them except in
country up. Why shouldn't it send
soldiers to shoot 'tha bandits and out
laws down in tho same way, as they are
If anything, worse than the Indians?
That will bo one of my first moves to
toko up i 1 get to the Senate, you can
botonthat.''
"Were ym over In politics before?"
"Yes, once. In 1879 tho boys elected
ma to represent their interests for tho
Twenty-sixth Legislative District of
Nebraska, and I did net know a thing
about it until I rode up to Fort Mc
Phorson one day nnd the uoldiers salu

coln, however and stopped for a few
days, spending about $6 to $10 a day
before breakfast In treating the crowd.
"Then a friend came to me and asked

such an oxponslvo game. I asked him
how long tho loglslativo session lasted,
and he said about forty days. Well, I
got about $100 a day for this work,
