Jhr Economical Transportation ---— Essential to Profitable Farming The Utility $ Cj C Chassis Only Express Truck J J v /• o. h. Flint, Mich. Fits any Standard Truck Body No business can succeed unless its product is profitably sold. Most farms have a fine production department but no sales department. They grow crops and stock bought by buyers who set the price. One of the chief reasons for this unprofitable situation is the average farmer's poor facilities for moving his crops or stock to the place where he can sell or ship to the best advantage. Because of the time and expense of horse delivery millions of f i dollars worth of produce spoils annually on American farms. The saving of this waste would, in many cases, change a losing farm to a money-maker. This low-priced, high-grade, reliable truck was designed as a money-saver and money-maker for formers and business houses needing fast low-cost haulage of heavy or bulky goods. It fits any standard type of ton truck body. Ask any Chevrolet dealer for price of the style of body you require. Prices f. o. b. Flint, Michigan Superior 2-Pasa.

She recently engaged the service of a maid from “the old tountry.” The maid, a fine, strapping girl, was tnxious to give satisfaction, and when instructed to put the attic in order she More than did the job well, for not Only did she tidy it, but old rugs, blankets and the like that she came across she put out on the clothesline air. The line was in full view of yassers-by. It was with an alarmed suddenness that the dignified old lady noticed -'Oat those going by her house after faring surprisedly nt her backyard should burst out laughing.

TANGLED UP BY PHONE CALL Colonel Gives Remarkable Denoua> ment to His Story That Was Interrupted by the Chief. The colonel had only two types ot stories, one concerning his amorous adventures, the other his adventures while tiger shooting. It was night in the mess and the colonel, as was his wont, began to tell an exciting story of an encounter with a wounded tigress which sprang at him before he could reload and bore him to the ground. At the critical moment an orderly ehtered to report that the G. O. C. wished to speak to the colonel on the telephone, and the colonel was compelled to break off abruptly. He was absent for ten minutes and on his return had forgotten which of his favorite stories he had been tell ing. “What happened, colonel?” asked one of the guests. "You were telling us of your dangerous situation.” “Oh, I kissed her,” responded the colonel airily. “She simply couldn’t resist me and we dined together that evening.”—London Sporting and Dra» ruatic News.

TF you are troubled with headaches, insomnia, in digestion, or sluggishness of the liver or bowels, prob ably one of the first ques tions your doctor asks is, “Do you drink coffee?" He knows, better than 1 anyone else, that the drug, caffeine, present in coffee, tends to irritate the nervous system and is a frequent cause of disturbance to health. If coffee causes trouble, and you value health, stop coffee and drink Postum. Postum is a pure cereal beverage—absolutely free from caffeine or any other drug. It has a delicious flavor, that many people prefer to coffee. Your grocer sells Postum in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins) prepared instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages) for those who prefer the flavor brought out by boiling fully 20 minutes. The cost of either form is about one-half cent a cup. »- * " ■ W NEHF IS PITCHER TO THE WELL ( But Ring Says Giants Shoui ing Final Game—Saved f Rest of Hurlin | BY RING W. LARDNER Polo Grounds, N. Y., Oct. 15.—Ar thur Nehf is the pitcher that went to the well once too often. That Hne is as old as Arthur felt after working his head off for the seven innings in his second tough as signment within four days. It Is almost as old, in fact, as we experts feel after six days of being admired, bumped into and walked on by lov ing fans. And when a man feels old he cant help from writing old stuff no more than when he feels young. But the detail that the Yanks is world champons is enough new stuff for one day. Giant fans should not ought to feel bad about losing this game. At least the national league champs was not disgraced which they might of been if the serious had went over till Tuesday and forced Mr McGraw to show us the rest of his pitching staff again. They would of been no chance of working Arthur Nehf another heat and the scribes to add to their troubles woula be probably got cramps trying to write down the full list of those taking part in the parade from the club house to the box and back. Brains on Field As I walked across the field when it was all over, I noticed that the grass was covered with substance of a .ecular of a gray tint that looked something like mildew. Taking some of it in my brief case Igft it with a bcfotlegger to be analized. He pro nonunced it to be brains which had evidently been spilled by Bob Meu sel’s single to center in the eighth Inning. Before the game I had the luke warm pleasure of meeting Mrs. Car olina Dorsey of Traverse City, Mich igan. For the benefit of persons of doubtful tastes who have not been reading this column, will state that Mrs. Dorsey is the lady who has stood in line in front of the general admission window for two or three years, hoping vs hope that she would be" able to procure one of the covet ed paste boards. Half witted at best, she had been further influenced by different things that happened in the first game and had spent the entire next day in her terrible seat at the Yankee stadium though the scene of action had been transferred to the Polo grounds. Stone Deaf “How do you do, Mrs. Dorsey?” was my method of approach after we had been introduced by a garbage vender from upper Mont Clare. “Are terest in peace as a city whose indus tries consist of and are of the quali ty of yours. “I am from a troubled continent. This continent is at peace. I crossed the frontier Sunday night—the most remarkable frontier in the world; thousands of miles without forts, or guns, or soldiers, or barbed wire to protect it. Your gigantic lakw across the frontier, with no dread naughts to hurl defiance at each other. Europe—across the frontier there; there is no frontier that has not been crossed and recrossed— scores of hundreds of times for gen erations, for centuries, for ages, by hostile armies intent upon slaughter and destruction. So the frontiers of poor Europe bristle with the mech anism of slaughter. Example to World “You are showing an example to the world. Keep it. This is the con tinent of peace. I wish Europe would follow this example. It is worth any European’s while to take the journey to this continent to see what peace can do; what the Angel of Peace can do, with its gentle wings hovering over a great land. Ah, I wish that angel would visit Europe! We have driven it away, by war, by the agony of conflict, by prepara tions for war. I want you to help us make peace. “I am not here on any mission, but let me say to you one thing, that un til the United States of America, with its mighty influence, with its great power, with the great claim that you won by coming into the war, without any selfish purpose, but for a holy ideal, sending millions of your best young men across to fight for liberty and for nothing else—un m tni8 great land casts its influence into the scales of peace. I despair of the future. “Mr. Chairman, you said something about forgetting the war. And you said you are doing your best to for get. Don’t forget. There is nothing for you to forget—nothing. There is something for you to be proud of. You came for naught, but at the call of the great purpose and great ideal. It ought to be your pride; the part you took in it is one of your great traditions. “And my last word is that, so far from forgetting that part. I trust the United States will once more, in due ltme, In its own way, cast its great might into the scales of peace.” Former Leader in House Mounts Coolidge Wagon Universal Service Washington, Oct. 15.—Phil Cambell, former chairman of the powerful house rules committee, who was defeated in the last election because of reactionary tendencies, climbed on the Coolidge bandwagon Monday. He called upon the president and conferred with him at some length. Upon leaving he said the people everywhere “believe Coolidge to be a safe and sane man.” THAT WENT )NCE TOO OFTEN d Not Feel Bad About Los i/lcGraw From Showing j Staff Again you enjoying your stay in New York?” The garbage man then beckoned me to one side or the other and in dicated in so many words that Mrs Dorsey was stone deaf and just as dumb. I repeated my question. "Mrs. Dorsey," I said "Are you enjoying your stay in New York?" She turned away with a severe cold contracted during her long vigil. I learned afterwards through doubt ful friends that Mrs. Dorsey had spent the last three days in a traffic jam, having got caught facing the wrong way on a one way street. When George Levy, the silver tongued announcer, told us that Nehf would start for the Giants and Pen | nock for the Yanks, they was a long | conference in the press stand at which it was decided to call this game either a duel of the south paws or a battle of left handers. Some of the experts nearly came to blows holding out for other titles, showing wlAt a high state of tension the boys has reached. Psnnock Needed Dope The ball players was barking at each other and the umpires all through the early innings and even the gents who own stock in the rival clubs seemed to of left their usua.1 winsome smiles at home. These gents are lovers of the great open spaces but not when the last named appear in the grandstand. The ball game might of been a whole lot less closer if some body had sent word to Herbie Pennock that the Giants was hitting the first ball. He seemed to think that was against the rules and kept sticking them in there with resplts that can be seen on any score board. During the medium thrilling elgth inning, when the master minds on bc*h sides was working at fevor heat, the Giants used up so much time running back and forth to and from the bench with and without messages that Mr. Huggins finely consumed a few more minutes kicking about that . He asked for the extreme pen alty, a loss of five yards, but Hank would not allow It. As if they had not wasted enough hours this and last week, the Yankees spent some more time in the ninth trying to get their gummed up bat ting order straightened out. Even the newspaper men knew what the right order was without asking and yet they say we are half witted. Well, hoping we will be the same next year. GUNS IN STOKES DIVORCESPIKED Negro Witnesses Get Badly Tangled on Stand Under Cross Examination Universal Service New York, Oct. 15.—Three negroes, brought by W. E. D. Stokes, million aire hotel man, into court as witness es to brand the mother of his chil dren a faithless, unchaste women, recanted their testimony under the fire of Mrs. Stoke’s counsel Monday, and seemed to have spiked forever the second attempt of Stokes to divorce his wife. Joseph A. Thornton, negro janitor of the flat in which lived Edgar T. Wallace, traction official named by Stokes, confessed that he could not swear the red-haired woman he had seen entering the apartment was Mrs. Stokes. Agricola Byers, a “flapper” type of negress, was time and again checked up and found off her first story by the questioning of Samuel Unter myer, Mrs. Stokes’ attorney. She at lirst positively declared Mrs. Stokes had been in the Wallace apartment when she (the witness) carried food there from the tea room below the flat. She fell into a series of “I don’t remember” answers when pushed to give the details of her sight of the woman in the flat, and Anally wound up by declaring “I wouldn’t state anything as a positive fact.” Anna McIntosh, negro maid who acted as substitute for another wait ress in the tea room, swore she saw Mrs. Stokes in Wallace’s apartments once. A few* seconds later she told Untermyer she had seen her there twice, and wound up confusedly by saying she had gone back Ij "take a peek at Mrs. Stokes.” Mrs. Stokes returned from Mis ouri whither she had gone to secure affidavits to prove that she had never been in Bunceton and Boonville and that the testimony of three women who swore to having seen her thero was perjured. Former Official to Face Fraud Charge Thursday Des Moines, la., Oct. 15.—(Special) Itussell Cockburn, former city em ploye, charged with padding the pay rolls of the street department, will be in district court Thursday morning to stand trial, according to word given to Judge Bonner by E. S. Thayer, Ceckburn's attorney, Monday. Cockburn Is now in the government hospital in St. Louis where he is said to be recieving tivatment. His trial has been postponed three times because of illness. HUGGINS CLAN SLUG WAY TO VICTORY IN SIXTH GAME, 6 TO 4 Universal Service New York, Oct. 15.—The shouting and the tumult dies and baseball Is ended for another year, but a new champion has arisen fsom the melee of cheers and whanging bat on ball, for the Yankees won the sixth and de ciding game Monday at the Polo grounds 6 to 4. The last of the grand pitchers. Art Nehf, collapsed In the eighth inning and five runs won the world's title for the Yankees in that frame. , McGraw had pinned high hope on Nehf, for Art had turned the Yankees back in the third game, holding ‘‘Murderers" row helpless and win- i ning 1 to 0 on Casey Stengel's homer. But Monday the Yankees would not be denied and estbalished a new rec ord of sending every single one of the opposing pitchers to the showers during the series. There were other records made, and not the least of these was Babe Ruth's record of three home runs in world's series, the Babe crashing one into the Upper right field Btand in the first Inning, with two down and the bases empty. Babe Comes Into Own The Babe at last came into his own in this world’s series, after a misera ble showing in the world clashes of 1922 and 1921. It makes no mind that the big Bambino struck out with three men on base in the winning eighth inning. Bob Meusel was be hind him and did the cleaning up that Babe usually does, when they let him. It was Ruth’s' opening homer Mon day that filled the Tanks with their lust for blood that got beyond con trol in the eighth, Just as his two cir cuit slams in the first win of the Yanks put heart into his teammates. And for the first time in New York American league team brought the world title to the big city. The win of the Yanks put an end for all time to the claim of their op ponents that they had nothing but brute force behind them. It Is true that batting won, the Yanks getting almost twice as many hits and runs during the series as did the Giants. Yanks Field Well But the Yankees also fielded with in a few points of the Giants, and though they may have looked like dumbbells on the bases,, occasionally, it was more from trying and not get ting away with it, than lack of knowing what to do and how to do it. It was the will to win, backed by one of the greatest hitting teams in history, and flanked by one of the finest pitching staffs ever gotten to gether by a manager, that made the Yankees the champions of the world. No one can question their right to that title. They made 30 r runs to the Giants 14 and 60 hits to the Giants 47. It makes no difference that the Giants made 10 hits Mon day to the Yankees five. The Yankees put their five where they counted, and that wins ball games as world series. True, the Hartford team of the Eastern league, which beat Baltimore in a "little world's series” claims a right to some kind of a title, since the Orioles beat both the Yanks and the Giants before the world’s series, but outside of a good laugh for all concerned, nobody is going to get heated up over the claim of the Con necticut team. Game Inspring Sight Hartford's claims has as much chance as the Indian who claims Man hattan Island because the barrel of rum that his ancestor Hold it for was not 100 per cent, proof. The winning of Monday’s game and the series was an inspiring sight for a baseball lover, even If he did have his heart and mtVney on the Giants. At the beginning of the eighth the Giants were leading 4 to 1 and with Nehf, the former nemsis of the Yanks, twirling it looked like a Giant win and another tie on the series. Then things began to happen. In a flash, It seemed, the Yanks had driven in five runs and the world's title was theirs. Great Tribute to Yanks When the last out was made in the ninth there was a mad bedlam of ; shouting, cheering and hurling of things into the air, and it was a mar velous tribute to the game of pro fessional baseball In the United States that a stranger there would have believed that every one of the 50,000 fans had been behind the Yanks to win from the beginning. All shouted for the new champions, even the oldest Inhabitant of Coogan’s bluff, and John McGraw was quick to shake the hand of Miller Huggins and tell him that the best team had won. Here is how the game was won in that eighth. Nehf had a lead of 4 to 1. He had been pitching wonderful ball, not a single hit having been registered during six Yankee innings. The game Hoover Opens Meeting of Child Health Association Universal Service Detroit, Mich., Oct. 15.—Hebert Hoover, secratary of commerce, opened the first annual meeting of the j Child Health association here Mon | day. Secratary Hoover appealed for l co-operation between health associa tions in the protection of child health. He pointed out the great decrease in Child Health association here Men tor milk, hospitalization facilities for child bft'th and clinical standards. ■* .. .'"n-J" 1 r was Iced away, so far as many Giant fans were concerned. Fireworks Begin Ward, first up in the eighth, sent a fly to Kelly. Then, as in the sec ond game that the Yanks won, the so-called weak sisters of the lower end of the Yanks batting order got busy. Schang singled to left. Then Scott, ever on hand, when the crisis is crisislng slapped a single to right, Schang going to third. Hofmann came up for Pennock. Herb had won one game and was pitching fairly good ball during this one, but only Ruth had helped him in the run col umn. At this point Nehf seemed to col lapse like a zeppelln under fire of the “archies.” He lost everything he ever had. He walked Hofmann filling the bases. Haines went In to run for Hefmann. Miller Huggins’ brain now was working over time and his cheW of tobacco was receiving terrible punish ment. He took out Witt, wrecking his regular lineup, and put in Joe Bush, who can whale a ball In addi tion to pitching games. Nehf was wild and on four pitches walked Bush, forcing In Schang. There was pandemnoium from the stands. Ryan Replaces Nehf With the bases loaded, Joe Dugan, terror of the Giant boxmen, came up. McGraw signalled Nehf to the show ers and Rosey Ryan took up the bur den. He was too wild, and without getting one over, walked Dugan, forcing in Scott. The score was 4 to 3. Babe Ruth was up with the bases loaded. It was a situation hard for a weak .heart. Strike one was called. A foul made It two. Then the Babe fanned on a low curve. He ground his teeth and the Giant fans almost went cookoo. Bob Meusel then came up to do his bit and he did it well. He singled to center. Cunningham threw wildly to third to get Dugan and Dugan scored behind Haines and Johnson, who was running for Bush. Five runs and the score was now 8 to 4. It was the end. Pipp grounded out, Frisch to Kelly, to end the inning. The Giants’ end of the eighth saw Young get on with a single hut was forced by Meusel and Stengel, the Giants’ hero, fouled to Dugan. In the ninth neither side scored or threatened. Bentley, batting for Ry an, ended the great series by ground ing out, Ward to Pipp. It was announced that the series had brought the first “million dollar'* gate in the history of the post sea son basebal! tustle, the official totals In the six games being 31,063,815, while a cloudy day, threatening rain and cutting down the attendance somewhat in the final clash. ATTACK DRAWS RETURN FIRE Air of Resentment at White House Over Stand of Plnchot Universal Service. Washington, Oct. 15.—There was an »lr of resentment at the White House tfonday over the effort of Governor /'*>»chot of Pennsylvania to hold Pres ident Coolldge responsible for •‘dry’* law laxity. Henry J. Allen, former governor of Kansaas, a White House luncheon guest, said thU Pinchot was trying to make tlv? president do what he had been unable to do in Philadelphia. He added: "if I were governor and a city de fied my orders to close up saloono they would wake up to the sound of reveille and 1 ftlre to the tune of taps." Representative Britten, Illinois, told the president that he could do no r tore than Is being done. The president let It be known that there will be no departure from his plan to ask for state co-operation in stead of taking up the burden of en forcement personally. When he received the delegates to the citzenship conference he told them that he had called a confer . ence of governors for October 20, to deal with the situation they are dis cussing. Governor Pinchot was not in the line to shake hands with the pres ident. Former Governor Allen scored P n ehot for what he t»rm"d “pass'ng the buck” to President Coolldge in the matter of ‘ dry" law enf rcement OPPOSES RECOGNITION Universal Service Washington, Oct. 15.—Representa tive Britton, Illinois, Monday gave to President Coolldge his impressions of the political situation In Russia. Un like other members of congress who have visited the soviet republic, ho Is opposed to any form of recognition at this time, he said.
