BRAIN STORM ON FORDIMANIA At Lust One Visitor to Kearney Offers Thanks on This Thanksgiving Day SO CLOSE TO HEAVER COILD SEE IT I am glad I am able to do this. Happy to mingle again with crea tures of the dust; pleased to look once more into the faces of peo ple, dogs and children I know. How pleasant it is to dwell right here as before. It seems that I j have been away, a long way and ; nearly missed the only boat com ing back. 1 am thankful for the fac t that .Toe Pedler drove me to Kearney and back, and I—still live. Ye Gods of speed and little wagons, did you ever? Does it not push you to pedal alongside of Pedler, or Biemond, or Chand ler, when they go bounding over the bulges in a Ford? They all claim they are steady drivers. They are. They open her up and forget where are the levers. They maintain the same gait all the time—the limit. Turn corners? Bah! They spin them. They cross creeks and all water ways with as little use for bridges as possible—the modern way to Ford streams, somebody joked. Some may term this dizzy speed ing, skid twisting, spiral gliding, high leaping, cloud skimming, business motoring, but call it me teoring. I do not like the idea of leaving the dust and chuck holes to become a star in a Ford with Joe at the wheel; another difficult' problem for astronomers. W hen we started, there was a Ford ahead of us and some thought of keeping bach a little'out of the ' the dust, and follow their tracks. Tracks? Ford tracks go up in rl oni M e went fast, very, very fast, (that word very don’t suit me. but the editor says to be nice about it), over and down and this way j and both ways and bumps like a flight of Chaos, if there ever was such a man, hitting the high places only, and there were so few of the high places. It seemed all down hill—the car worked too well. How I longed for some thing to happen that would require a slow gait—up glades—deep sand. Once I thought my hope was ful filled—our fan went wrong; and we lost the belt. But no; the works worked better, we went i faster: leaped higher; turned cor ners on less wheels. • I soon learned, when regaining my seat on returning from some of those sky ticklers, to use the lap robe as a parachute. Once we seemed to go higher than usual and found ourselves in the midst of a multitude of spirits of soldiers—men of Mars—just from Europe, waiting their turn to see the now overworked St. Peter. One misty warrior approached us, asking if we. too, were bound for heaven ? No, I replied, your ques- * tion is premature, we are still of the dust; we are out riding in a Ford with Joe Pedler. There was a sudden jerk and a bang, as we stopped in a world of dust, when a soft, even-toned voice from a Buffalo coat said, “This is Hazard.” We filled up the radiator, and then on again, off again, up again, down again, hellagain, rolling up the hugh tail of dust; fast and faster, swerving corners, rearing on back wheels up hill, to nose down at dropping speed, events so rapid their sud den succession like a rip—there’s Browns, the bridge, the old mill site. Welcome familiar places to mine eyes; I am whole and home again. Avast: all troubles of yesterday, debts and dread of future—I live. i, Mrs. A. H. Hansel last week sold her farm northwest of this city to a cousin of W. D. Garner of this city. 80,000 VOTES GIVEN ON EACH $25.00 Twenty Mere Days Left Whieh Will Tell the Tile. Whe Will Win the Cir.

Beginning with today there are just twenty more working days left in the contest, and those twenty days will either mean an automoble for you or they will not mean an antomobile for you, just according to how much you do in those twenty days. ’ Now, candidates, you know that eighty dollars per day is a salary that is worth a whole lot of hard work, I'd just like to have a chance to make that much myself, and I think that you'd find me af ter the money. One can afford to work pretty hard, and do lots of things in a day when there is so much at stake. The six days that now remain for you to work on this big offer, ire the ulost important. This is the time that you want to be do ing the \york, for it is right now that your subscriptions count big for you. Tell everyone this fact, [let all those promises this week. Tour friends will naturally want to give you their subscription when it will count big for you and that is right now. Get after the long term sub scriptions. It woufd not take a gre^t many of them to overbal ince all the work that has been lone, and any one. of you can win by getting them. Hold oh to VTour prospects for paying one or1 more yenrs ahead. Show them the difference it means in votes for you, and tell them that they ptet the value out of the paper. The more years that you get, the more votes it will count for vou. and they count up into clubs [»retty fast too. This offer will practically upset ill previous offers. Now is your time so make things hum this week and get in all those promised votes, explain why you want all the subscriptions now because you must get them in and get several clubs if possible.

Any contestant that is now in the race can win and it rests with them who will win. If any one lays down for a single moment their opponent will prob ably be working and the result will be that they will win the car.

The winner light here must take advantage of toe largest offer and work to that end to get as many clubs as pos-: sible and not stop at just one club but go on if possible. The person with the most energy en thusiasm and working power, will win the car. Here is where you should go your best. Work i Work is the keynote to success. AN ork with a will and a determi nation and it will do things for you. The pyramids were not built in a single night but by steady work, consistent work that eventually counted up and proved to the world that they were mas terpieces of labor. The Panama Canal was years in building and it was consistent stick-to-it that made Goethals both a world-fa mous engineer and a great one. Here is where you can build by subscription upon subscription, success and luxury for you in a single week. This week's offer will upset set any past work and here is where you want to blow up the works and sort out the prizes. Here is where vou want to strike when the iron is hot and not ,wait until the last few day* of the contest to beat out your salvation but.vou must go after the sub scriptions and do three or four times the work this week that you lave probably done so far in one week. So strike and strike HARD »nd do not stop at one club aut go for as many as you can ?et. Here is where the big extra vote$ will be made.
