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,

80,000 VOTES GIVEN
ON EACH $25.00
Twenty Mere Days Left Whieh Will Tell the Tile. Whe Will Win the
Cir. The Best Werker is Oar Only Answer.
THE WEEK OF BIG CHAHCES.
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. You
cannot get too many votes so if I
were you I would go after sis
many clubs as I could get. I
would be out early and would stay
with it till late this week because
this is the week that will do things
for you and plant you nearer the
goal line.
If you are going to do it—do it
now. Get the most votes.
The Winner
There are a number, out after
the car and we ourselves would
like to know who is going to be
the winner. One thing we can
say though, that we know is the
fact, that the one who works the
hardest from now on will be the |
winner. 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.
Do not let up for a minute for
when you do you just endanger
your own chances and opportuni
ties that much. The winner will
be the best worker. 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.
The Offer
Between the dates of November
•be 25th acid December 2nd, we
will award 80,000 votes for every
S25. These extra votes will more
ban double the count. This means
ill in all to vou and if you are wise
fou will get several clubs because
low is the time for you to get in
•hose promised votes that your
Friends are going to give you.
rhey will give you there sub
scriptions now because this is your
lig chance to gain the lead.

while driving to town in their

wb *n the fastner on the neckyoke
broke, letting the buggy run opto
the horses. Each one in the buggy
grabbed one of the children and
jumped. All escaped injury, but
were terribly frightened. The
horses continued their mad run
for over a half mile, when one of
the horses got its foot fastened i n
the circle of the buggy, this threw
it to the ground and they were
stopped.
