THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Some Ford Facets!
Mr.
Farmer and Mr. business Man:
Don't get the idea that your neighbor is joining the "Lonesome Club"
when he buy.-? a Ford Car, for bless ou there are 1,7"0,000 happy contented
Ford owncM, 320,ooo of them having bought Fords since August, 1910,
and then is not a single one of them who would part with his little old
Ford car for twic-r what it cost him providing he could not get another,
'ir.cit? must be a reason, what is it? First because of the small first cost
and consequent small depreciation. Second the low expense for up-keep and
i. pairs aailable everywhere. Third, large mileage per gallon of high
ly i.ed ga-oline. Fourth, :.' days per year service in all kinds of weather
ir.d road conditions.
You have only to take notice of the Automobiles that are travelling

What do you buy an automobile lor any way: vwiy, principally 10 ukc
the place of your driving team, to take you and your family to town, to
church, to your neighbors, to make a hurry up trip to town for some farm
machinery repairs.
Now'when yoi were using the driving team you did not think it neees
?arv to keep a team and carriage costing from $1,200 to $1,500. No your
outfit cost you from .$3u0 to 500, and if some horse salesman had come to
you with a $1,200 driving team and tried to selll them to you for your
very dav vise you would have thought he was crazy.
The $1,200 team might lie down and die, there was too much chance for a
big depreciation, your i?3')0.00 team was very satisfactory for your every
dav driving.
Then why are not the same arguments true of the every day automobile.

BRATES HER BIRTHDAY
The pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs.
A. B. Fornoff, in the Cullom neigh
borhood was the scene of a most de
lightful gathering on Friday last,
when a number of the relatives and
horses when the roads are bad.
And then as you go to town slowly behind the faithful old driving
ter.m. the Fords scoot gaily by you thru the mud like streaks of greased
lightening, perhaps vou say to yourself that the Ford' was the car you
should have bought but you knew you could afford the big expensive car
just as well as your neighbors who had them so you passed up the reli
able little 3C.5 day a year Ford for the big car at the big price thats too
good to use when you need it the most.
So when vou take into account the cost of depreciation on the big cars,
py birthdays in the years to come.
Those attending were: George Heil
and wife, Henry Viich and wife,

AUTO GETS SMASHED UP
Late Saturday evening a Ford car
driven by a gentleman named Camp
bell met with a severe accident on I colleagues an oDDortunitv to vote on
Unyielding throughout twenty-six
hours of continuous session, to ap
peals that their defiance of the presi
dent would be humiliating to the
country; uncompromising in a crisis
described to themas the most serious
to the nation since the civil war. La
Follette and his small group of sup
porters refused a majority of their
Washington avenue near the Ileisel
mill, as the car was coming east on
that thoroughfare and -the steering
gear not operating properly the driver
was unable to control the car and it
crashed into the curb, badly injur-)
ing two of the wheels and putting the
machine out of commission. Fortun
ately none of the party were seriously
injured.
GOES TO OMAHA HOSPITAL.
This morning Charles Wolf of near
Murray was taken to Omaha, where
he will be given treatmeht at the
Presbyterian hospital in that city for
heart trouble, from which he has been
a sufferer for some time. He was
taken to the hospital by Homer Shrad
er in his auto, and was accompanied
by Dr. G. II. Gilmore, Mrs. Wolfe and
Mrs. Jennie Shrader. ' The friends of
Mr. Wolfe throughout the county will
anxiously await word from him and
hope and trust that he may find re
lief from his illness in the treatment
afforded him at the hospital.
CARD OF THANKS.
the armed neutrality bill and it died
with the Sixty-fourth congress at
noon.
To fix responsibility before the
country, seventy-six senators, thirty
republicans and forty-six democrats,
signed a manifesto proclaiming to the
world that they favored passage of
the measure. .
This declaration, embodied in the
record of the senate, referred to the
fact that the house, Thursday night,
had passed a similar bill, by a vote of
403 to 13, and also recited that the
senate rule permitting unlimited de
bate gave a small minority opportu
nity to throttle-.the will of the ma
jority. "
Thirteen . senators declined to sign
the declaration, but Senator Penrose,
republican of Pennsylvania, announced
that he would have voted for the bill
had the opportunity been afforded him.
Hours before the end senators who
fought throughout the night to break
down the filibuster, conceived a way
to thwart La Follette's well laid plans
to occupy the center of the legislative I complete my statement Unless some-
stage at the climax of the bitter fight, body carries me off the floor, and I

solemnly said:
"It is unfortunate and deplural.lo
that twelve men in the senate of (lie
United States have it in their p.,wrt
to defeat the will of seventy-live 01
eighty membfis by one c,r lli- m., f
reprehensible filibusters ever 1 . .,1 ...
in the history of an v ivih. n.un
try."
Hour Strikes; All FimIm.
As the Nebraskan's wards hol
through the chamber, La Follette stol
idly glared toward the speaker, who
presently added,, that pcrh.-ip : ),
should apologize fr the violem-e of In ,
words.
"You are perfectly safe," La Toi
lette returned, without rising from
his choir. "No one can anwe,
you." No one did, for the hour of noon
had struck and the Sixty-fourth on-
gress was ended.
La Follette Pays Price.
Before the manifesto was present
ed many democratic and republican
leaders worked unceasingly to pre
vent the inevitable defeat of the bill.
After midnight they practically aban
doned the light and prepared the man
ifesto to record the real sentiment oi"
the senate on the subject.
The defeated senators determined
to make Senator La Follette pay for
his coup by secrificing the crowning
fruits of his victory.
The plan to prevent him from de
livering his address to the senate was
made quietly in the cloak roomsand
the time was fixed for 10 o'clock this
morning, when most of the senators
would be back in the chamber ready
for adjournment.
La Follette, looking fresh and eager
entered the chamber while Senator
Owen was speaking. When Senator
Owen started to take his seat, both
Hitchcock and La Follette addressed
the chair.
Senator Saulsbury, presiding, under
the rules would be compelled to rec
ognize the man who addressed
him first. The chair recognized Sen
ator Hitchcock, but La Follette inter
rupted. La Follette Interrupts.
"At 8 o'clock this morning," he said,
"when I sought recognition, I was told
that when the vice president left the
chair he had left a list with the names
of two senators upon it who might be
recognized before I could be recog
nized. They were Senators Owen and
Hitchcock.
"I recall that sometimes these lists
are disregarded by presiding officers,
and I would like to know if I am to
be recognized."
Senator Robinson immediately made
a point of order that it was not a
proper inquiry under the senate rules.
La Follette Issues Defy.
"I do not care," La Follette shout
ed, "what point of order the senator
makes."
The Arkansas senator insisted on
addressing the chair again and La
Follette moved out into the center
aisle and down into the well-, before
the clerk's desk.
The almost deserted senate cham
ber quickly began to fill. Democrats
hurried in to enjoy the spectacle of
a filibuster pitted against a filibuster.
La Follette, quickly .sensing the situ
ation, raised his voice almost to a
shriek and shaking his forefinger
menacingly at Senator Saulsbury,
shouted:
"I will continue on the floor until

Hitchcock Foils La Follette.
Instead of La Follette, Senator
Hitchcock, leader of the majority in
favor of the bill, talked out the wan
ing hours of the session.
Timing his opportunity to the min
ute, Senator La Follette entered the
senate chamber shortly after 9 o'clock
this morning, prepared to take the
center of the stage for the last act of
the tragedy.
When the moment he had chosen ar
rived he addressed the chair, but Sen
ator Hitchcock prevented his recogni
tion. . : :
The forensic struggle which ensued
seldom if ever had been equaled in
the history of the senate.
Voices were strained to shrieking;
threatening fists were shaken at the
presiding officer,' while the crowded
floor and galleries looked on breathlessly.
Nebraskan's Denouncement.
' But the incident soon passed with
out violence. The chair recognized
would like to see the man do it."
Before La Follette could conclude
the sentence, Senator Robinson
leaped to his feet and stamped down
the aisle on the democratic side shout
ing demands that his point of order
be sustained and that La Follette be
forced to his seat.
La Follette Overwhelmed.
Senator Saulsbury promptly sus
tained the point of order and La Fol
lette as promptly appealed from his
ruling. Senator Robinson quickly
moved to table La Fllette's appeal
an undebatable motion and there
the cup against La Follette was
clinched.
"The ayes and noes," shouted Sen
ator Ashurst. His name heads the
list and always starts the roll call.
"Ashurst," called the clerk, while
La Follette frantically appealed for
the recognition which he .saw was
doomed.
Ashurst responded with a roaring
"Aye."
The motion carried, 52 to 15.
Thus beaten in his plan to talk
the bill to death, La Follette was
forced to sit and hear Senator Hitch
cock discuss the measure until con
gress expired.
