to, drive their automobile, and it was to be a camping trip all across the continent. The mother had such confidence in Chamberlin’s con' fessed purpose that she probably would have only gone a few hundred miles apd then have returned here, leaving her daughter to go on alone with her stepfather. Last summer, according to the confession made to Constable Slanker, the little girl made a motor trip to Yosemite and return with Chamberlin and they occupied the same room every night when stopping at hotels, ' Although reputed to be worth more than $20,000, the man has practically forced the girls and his wife to seek employment, in spite of his attentions to them. He now says that he will make no fight and not employ an attorney. His bail has been set at $5,000, and it is expected that it will, on Monday, be set for the same amount on each count, or $15,000 in all. He says he will make no attempt to raise the amount. He is said to have been married many times, and an investigation is to be started by the district-attorney, to learn if he is another “Bluebeard.”

MEETING DEMOCRATIC WOMEN

The Importance of the work of the jirecinct committeeman was the topic emphasized at the regular meeting of the Democratic Women’s School of Citizenship, which met as usual the first Friday in the month. It is the precinct chairman who comes in direct contact witli the voter and it is this important officer who is responsible for the large or small vote in the precinct. If the 20 women have been selected to fill the office of precinct chairmen in this county will “ge't busy” and learn what their duties are and then perform them it will be possible to bring the desired educational material to every individual in the county. The issues of this campaign are very different from those of any previous time and every patriotic American woman should do all possible to know her duty as a citizen. Mrs. Alfred Hoover gave an interesting talk on the personal benefit to be derived from active participation in political affairs. A suggestion was made that each member bring newspaper and magazine ar. tides to be exchanged. The room full of ladies present showed an earnest desire to do their part in arousing others to the importance of the work. The next meeting will be held the third Friday in the month in the east room of the court house at 2:30 p. m. MRS. JNO. I. GWIN, Chairman Tenth District.

TAXI! TAXI! HERE’S YOUR CHANCE TO RIDE WITHOUT PAYING.

There was a time . when invita tions to go auto riding were rare. You always accepted, and enjoyed it. Those days are gone (along with the smell that used to be in your cellar) and 10 cent gasoline. Everybody "Tias a car now —but pot everybody has ridden in a Franklin. (Harve Hemphill had his first last night). Beginning today we are going to invite everybody in town to ride, in our car. We’ve been telling about its riding qualities, gas mileage, easy . riding, etc., etc. We want to prove it. Folks “from Missouri” pile in—we’ll even let you drive. Every car in this contest carries a pint bottle. (Now will you come?) We want to show everybody how far we can take five people on 4 cents worth of gasoline. Ask your friends and your friends’ friends. Some will go to please us, some to see if we can good oui claims, and some will be like the Irishman at the funeral, who wasn’t acquainted with ' the corpse, but went for the carriage ride. WHY you go doesn’t interest us ■—just so you go. We’ve notified the factory to put our name on that cup and Lois is looking at new hats.—THOMPSON & KIRK.

Want ads in The Democrat are read by more people in Jasper and surrounding counties than those appearing in any other newspaper in this county.
