SIMMONS BEDS Built For Sleep AT LAST—THERE ARE METAL BEDS DESERVING OF A PLACE IN ANY BEDROOM Any woman knows that even oldfashioned metal beds were sanitary. The thing that jarred her sensibilities was the way they looked in a room. Until recently the general run of metal bed designs have not kept pace with interior decoration. Now, Simmons Beds are in accord with the accepted ideals of line, form and composition. W. J. WRIGHT » - ’•

“VICTORY MEDALS” ARE OF HANDSOME DESIGN

A few of the “Victory Medals,” emblematic of service in the late world war, have arrived here and are an emblem of which any soldier may feel proud to wear. The government report that so far the number of world war soldiers who have made application for the medal has been lamentably low, and the reason for the apparent indifference on the part of the young men who served in the conflict is attributed to the fact that t,he average exsoldier is not aware of how just a handsome medal they are. Clarence Garver, whose service was confined to camps in this country, has received one, as have Samuel Duvall, who served two years overseas and Valerie Hill who served in Panama. Duvall’s medal bears the name of the following battles: Somme, Aisne, Marne and Chateau Thierry defensive sector. A ribbon of red, white and green serves as the background for the medal. All Jasper county soldiers should make application at once for one of these handsome emblems. »

HAZELDEN GOLF COURSE IS BEING ENLARGED

Kentland Democrat — Arrangements have been made to enlarge the grounds and extend the links at Hazelden Golf Course. Mr. Ade has allotted another section of the pasture west of the course and on this will be built two new greens. By a change of one of those already built, and with the addition of the new ones the course will be standard, measuring 3,000 yards. Upon completion of this addition, championship games from any contest may be played there, ana, doubtless, many will be, as Hazelden is becoming well known as a golfing center of the west, and many of the nation’s best professionals of the game have already played there.

Washington, Aug. 25.—Suffrage for women became an actuality today when Secretary of State Colby signed a proclamation of the nineteenth amendment to the Constitution.

LOG OF TRIP TO YOSEMITE

WRITTEN BY JOHN WALKER, FORMER REPORTER OF THIS CIRCUIT. The following article from the pen of our former court reporter and very popular former fellow townsman is taken from the Tucson Citizen, published at Tucson, Ariz. The article will appear in installment -of which the following is the second: Leave Coast Route. “We turned off of the coast route near San Jose, desiring to go into the Yosemite, and drove to Stockton. This was out of our way to some extent, but desiring to secure road maps, etc., we felt it well worth the extra distance. Upon calling on the automobile club, we were accorded every courtesy, and upon informing them Where' we desired to go, were again furnished with complete maps, with the good roads indicated, those not so good thus indicated, and the bad roads shown. Leaving Stockton at noon, we traveled the Lincoln highway for part of the distance, and then got on the Oak .Flat road. While this road is not paved, it is an exceptionally good mountain road, filled with sharp turns it is true, but many passing places, so that there is little if any danger of meeting cars. Along this road every 30 or 40 miles are taverns where gas, oil and other supplies can be obtained, all. of Which are indicated on our road maps, so there is little chance of getting in trouble. Upon entering the Yosemite National Park, the government, through the forest department, have provided beautiful camp sites for persons going through, where abundance of shade is provided, usually along some little mountain stream, and the department, with the assistance of the campers, keep it immaculately clean. Along this road are many places where the road seems to be hanging by a thread on the mountain side, with a sheer drop of hundreds of feet/Seemingly just on the outside of the wheels of your machine. Here, too, are provided passing paints every few hundred feet, so that one machine, usually the one coming down hill, can park in the clear, and the upcoming machine pass. Upon reaching the first control of the valley, each person has to stop and register their machine and have their firearms sealed, and are given a slip showing this data, and then drive on nine miles to the second control, where these slips are taken, ana new ones issued. At the second control, when going into the valley, you have to Wait until the odd hour, thus Avoiding meeting any machine coming up, as they all come up on the even hour, and no one is allowed to start down until all machines are either up or accounted for. Upon turning the corner after leaving the second control, it seems that the entire world is at your feet: You can look down thousands of feet to the. bottom of the valley, across to. Glacier Point, Cathedral Spires, the Bridal Veil Falls, and other points of indescribable grandeur, which makes one realize that we humans are indeed insignificant when compared with the wonderful things nature can do when she tries. Going down this four miles of road, it is almost going straight down, and with your machine running on compression in the low gear, the brakes are> necessary all the time. There are itaany places on this road where only about eight or ten inches of road is all that is between the outside of the machine and the rocks thousands of feet below. One may look down into the
