THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Garden farmer will find the Ford Model T One Ton Truck an especially valuable factor in his business because of the flexibility as well, as the reliability of the service given by this splendid truck. The worm-drive of manganese bronze carries all the power of the motor to driving the Truck, and there are combined in larger and heavier form all the elements which have made the Ford Model T Car the greatest motor car in the world in point of service. The Ford Truck with its worm-drive is most economical in operation and maintenance. There is very little, if anything, to get out of order at any time; there is the simplicity in control; there is the convenience in the flexibility of the car, it will turn in a circle of forty-eight feet; it accommodates itself to narrow alleys, and it “stands the gaff” of hard work day after day, and month after month, to the great satisfaction of the owner. There is hardly a line of business activity where the Ford One Ton Truck is not really a necessity. Come in and talk it over. Central Sales Co. 4 Phone Three-One-Nine

HATS OFF TO MISSOURI

The Missouri Democratic state convention held at Joplin a few days ago voted to reject the selection of United States Senator James A. Reed as district delegate to the national convention and to return his name to the Fifth district caucus which nominated him. The vote was three to one on the proposition. “Missouri has suffered long and has been patient, but her hour of vindication has struck,” Frank Curlee of St. Louis said in opening the debate 'for the opposition. He declared that “Senator Reed’s political offenses antedated his opposition to the league of nations covenant,” and asserted that by his course in the senate during the war the senator “equivocated and condoned until he led the country to

wonder whether Missouri was not more pro-German than pro-Ameri-can.” “While I was in the United States army,” he said, “Senator Reed was in Washington opposing the food control act upon which I dependeu for food.” Discussing Senator Reed’s opposition to the league covenant, he declared that “he had only hate fo> the president, hate for England, hate for humanity, hate for every one but the followers of his august per. sonage. “Today,” he said in conclusion, “the dispatches will carry to the far corners of the world the fact that Missouri is pure and patriotic and that her tyrant traducer has been dethroned.”

CONGRESSIONAL JOY RIDE

Some hundred or more members of congress are preparing for a prolonged joy ride. Starting some time in July, traveling in a govern' ment transport, they plan to visit Hawaii, the Philippines, China and Japan, for the purpose of “studying Oriental problems.” Just what “Ori' ental problems” require first-hand Study on the part of the stalwart statesmen of congress Is not quite clear, nevertheless a few weeks spent riding the ocean waves with a few pleasant evenings oh the moonlit beaches of Hawaii and the Orient will be far more pleasant than i f they were spent in Washington wrestling with the vexing problems of reconstruction which congress was elected to solve. Besides, many of these problems are like the edged sword, they cut two ways, and J for political reasons may better, be left unsolved until ttye national elec-j tion is over. Each congressman will be required j to pay $1.25 per day toward the expenses of the joy ride —the federal treasury footing the remainde- of the bill, which, of course, is quite in line with the Republican party’s widely proclaimed policy of economy. 1

Senator Harding says he is sorry the senate refused to ratify the treaty of peace. If he hadn’t given his vote and his vocal efforts to Mr. Lodge’s program the treaty would have prospered. In addition to being sorry, Senator Harding ought to be ashamed. Democrat want ads get results.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.

Hale Grant left with his truck Monday morning for Buchanan, Mich., taking the household goods of Mrs. Sarah Reed, who is moving to that city. The Chicago Rainbows baseball team, which played the St. Joseph college team at the latter place Sunday, were drubbed by the locals to the tune of 14 to 4. “Joy riding” to Hawaii and the Orient is one of the most pleasant methods members of congress have hit upon for practicing economy—for themselves. Uncle Sam will pay most of the freight. Frank Reifsnyder, who is employed at the Republican office, moved his household goods from Goshen to this city Monday and with his family will occupy the Mrs. A. M. Stockton tenant house on Clark street. His goods were brought here by Frank Hamer with his new Ford truck.

ENDORSEMENT IS BOOMERANG

(Continued from Page One)

nationally known Orchard Lake farm here, with its great herd of prizewinning cattle. The gossip also centers around several lawsuits involving Mr. McCray. Tax reform is the main plank in Mr. McCray’s political platform, and his critics here agree with him on that issue. The article then goes on to state that McCray gave In for assessment for 1917 -265 head of cattle at his Orchard Lake farm at but $13,000, while one month later 75 head sold at $131,000; that in 1918 235 head of these cattle were given in at $35,400, when at the May sale following 75 head sold for $204,175; that his tax return of 1919 gave a value of $57,800 on 417 head, which was apparently boosted $3,000 by the assessor, and on May 21 and 22 of the same year 75 head were sold at $426,250. “A detailed account oi these famous sales, embodying the figures cited above,” says the article, “appeared in the Breeders’ Gazette of May 24, 1917, May 30, 1918, and May 29, 1919. “The sale prices were also published by the Newton County Enterprise. In addition, Mr. in his booklets and advertisements points with great pride to the huge amounts which his bulls brought him at these sales.” The article then quotes from a recent mention in The Democrat ot the McCray bank’s subscription of but $2,000 for U. S. treasury certificates issued in anticipation of the Third Liberty loan, a smaller amount than any other bank in Newton county—except the Lyons bank of Brook, which took not a dollar. ' ''

“In this connection,” says the article, "it Is also pointed out that Mr. McCray’s personal property tax return for 1919 shows that he is the holder of - Liberty bonds valued at $1,800.” Monday’s and yesterday’s HeraldExaminer contained further articles by this correspondent relating to some of the lawsuits mentioned in the first article and the refusal of W. H. Ade, brother-dn-law of McCray, to sign the endorsement which

was published broadcast over the state and which has proven a boomerang and Inspired these articles In the Chicago paper. Yesterday’s article also referred to the opposition to McCray by the Red Cross women in Newton county, who accuse him of playing politics in the manner of handling the Red Cross funds there.

Obituary

Bertha Jane Boulden Dobbins wife of Eld. James T. Dobbins, was born In Clinton county, Ind., Jan. 2, 1841, and was the eldest daughter bdnl into the family of Richard and Elizabeth Boulden.

She leaves to mourn one son, Howard, in Oklahoma, and two daughters, Elsie Clark and Anna Templeton, of near Monon; 18 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren; two sisters and one brother.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(By Co. Supt. Sterrett) The following applicants for teachers’ license wrote on the April teachers’ examination: Wilson Clark, Jessie White, Mabel Kemper, Dorothy Boyle, Alice Myers, Wheatfield; Fairy Deardurff, Morocco; Mamie C. Reed, Clarence Kelly, Alta Lucas, Martha Parker, Remington; Margaret Delahanty, Grace Knapp, Florence Frame, Demotte; Chas. M. Blue, Cecile Jordan, Vera Wood, Mary Miles, Marie Weging, Helen Kessenger, Rensselaer; Gay Makeever, Fair Oaks; Day Jordan, Gifford: Jessie Raredln, Parr. Of the entire number there was but one applicant for high school license and one for a primary license. The others were applicants for the common school licenses. Eighteen of the 25 sent their manuscripts to the state department for grading. The April examination was about onethird the size of the March examination. Practically all of the teachers are arranging to continue their professional training and many have already enrolled in normal schools and universities. The general index of school efficiency for Jasper county is very promising at this time. It is true that there will likely be a shortage next fall but veryfew teachers in Jasper county are drifting into a state of lethargy expecting to gain a school on account of this. The lesser part of this few are compelled to remain out of school on account of sickness. It is a matter some cannot afford but are compelled to remain at home on account of finances. Commencements will be held at Tefft today, at Wheatfield tomorrow and Friday night. The town holds its commencement tomorrow and the township Friday night. Commis • sions were issued to the Tefft and Wheatfield high schools last week.

DEFENSE OF BAD FATHER COSTS GIRL HER FREEDOM

Jennie Malone, the character played by Norma Talmadge in “A Daughter of Two Worlds,” loved her father so much that when the judge, who was about to dismiss the charge of forgery against her, recognized him as Black Jerry Malone, keeper of a low dance hall, and assailed his reputation, she broke into a bitter tirade against the court with the result that she was ordered held ufider heavy bond. The scene in the photoplay, which will be screened at the Princess Theater May 4 and 5, furnishes one of the best bits of acting in the film version of Le Roy Scott’s novel of the same name. Jennie calls the old judge a hypocrite, pounds the bench and shakes her tiny fi§t in his face. “How dare you speak to my father like that?” she asks indignantly. The judge’s attitude of leniency promptly changes, but Jennie’s Uncle George gains her temporary release by providing bond to Insure her appearance at the trial. , Jennie does not wait for her trial. She is tfiken away to a fashionable boarding school, where, under an assumed name, she breaks into the “upper crust” of society and meets the man who wins her love. The stain of the past creeps into her new environment, and Jbnnle faces a complex situation when the life of a friend of the underworld depends on her revealing the whole truth. — Advt.
