THE UNIVERSAL CAR . That Mighty Serviceable Truck THERE is this about the Ford one-ton truck that keeps It growing In popularity, namely, the good reports which the owners of Ford trucks spread abroad among their friends and acquaintances. There is no testimony of merit quite so strong as the testimony of personal experience. It is not long after a Ford one-ton truck is sold in a community until other sales of the same truck follow, because “its works do follow it.” Well, “there is a reason.” Yes, there are many reasons. The Ford one-ton truck was built to serve and to satisfy. It carries all the Ford virtues: lightness in weight, simplicity in design, strength in construction, flexibility and durability—besides it has the lowest first cost and brings the lowest operating expense in the truck market. It is just as useful; just as necessary on the farm as it is in the city. It is just as necessary to the tradesmen, manufacturers, contractors, commission men and others in the city as it is necessary for such concerns to have a place to do business in—in other words, the Ford truck is a general utility, and because of this fact and the further fact of its universal economy it is in a class by itself. We will be glad to take your order for one or more Ford trucks and will give you fairly prompt delivery'" You will likewise have the assurance of that reliable and economical after-service which is such a valuable factor in the service of Ford cars.

ATTACKS PAROLE SYSTEM

Judge Landis Attributes to It Many Crimes. Chicago, November 22. —Coleman T. Fay, Jr., and Lawrence M. O’Brien, who posed as revenue agents and attempted to loot the home of Mrs. John B. Murphy, widow of the famous surgeon, on the evening of October 11, were sentenced to serve three years in the federal penitentiary yesterday by Judge Landis. "in passing* the sentence, the judge bitterly attacked * the Illinois parole system, denouncing it as one of the principal reasons for the large number of crimes in Chicago. “Look at these boys!” exclaimed the judge, pointirig his finger across the bench. “They are the products of the Illinois system. Both have records, yet neither one has served a day for his crime. They are out

now on parole. It is incomprehensible that the state stands for such an outrage.”

THERE IS LIMIT ON SECURITIES

Only Those Authorized by Commission May Be Sold. The Indiana securities commission, in its recently adopted policy, has made it clear that securities dealers in Indiana may deal only in securities authorized by the commission or specifically exempted by the securities law, M. L. Mendenhall, who is administering the law for the commission, has announced. Mr. Mendenhall said that the impression that dealers may deal in securities issued in other states and brought to Indiana for selling by the dealers as their own securities, is incorrect. That impression was widespread in some quarters after the enactment of the “blue sky’ law last July. The commission, it is announced, solicits the co-operation of the public ih applying the law, and wishes to hear of violations.

MAY ADDRESS CONGRESS

President’s Health Shows Steady Improvement, Officers Say. Washington, November 20. —President Wilson is now able to walk about the White House with the aid of a cane. He uses his wheel chair only for the purpose of an occasional relaxation. White House officers said that the president’s health had so far Improved as to make it possible for him to address the congress in person when it convenes next month, but that Mr. Wilson had as yet made no definite plans to do so.

Milk Lunch for School Children

Many people do not realize the importance and benefits derived from the milk lunch for underweight children, which has been v instituted w Jn the Monticello public schools again this year. This plan for bettering the health of the children attending the public schools is being carried out in practically every city in the state at the present time, and already good results are being seen. The idea of providing milk for underweight children was first instituted in the local schools last year, and the short time that it was in practice then indicated that the plan was a good one, and consequently as soon as 7 it was possible arrangements were , made again this year -for giVing the underweight children this milk. A week ago Monday was the first day for the Hunch this year, and they are now being held each day at 10 o’clock in the morning. About one hundred and twenty-five children from the first six grades in both the south and west buildings receive the milk daily, about seventeen of this number bringing their own milk to school. One hundred and eight half-pint bottles are purchased daily, a cost of 'about 20 cents per week per child. All children who can pay this weekly sum, in order to meet the expense of the milk, do so. However, this money that is paid by the children is not sufficient for the entire supply of milk, and

school authorities will welcome any assistance from clubs, other organizations or Individuals. There is no question as to the children enjoying this morning repast. A visit to 'the school at 10 o’clock in the morning when the children receive this milk, would dispel all doubts. This milk is served at 10 o’clock, a portion of the recess period being taken for this purpose. The lunch is served in the rest room on the first floor of the building, where the milk Is made ready for serving before the children are dismissed for recess. The caps are removed from the bottles and straws are put in each one, all in readiness 'for the children. The children march from their various rooms to the rest room, taking their places along the wall, yhere they are then each served with a bottle of milk by the teachers who are in charge. General order prevails during the entire time and there is no trouble or muss entailed in the serving of the lunch. The pupils have been instructed to drink the milk through straws from the bottles without breaking the straws, whenever possible. After lunching, the pupils carry their bottles to the faucet, where they rinse them and then put them in the carriers, ready to be taken back to the creamery. All is carried out with no confusion during the brief interval of the morning’s school work. To say that the children enjoy the lunch is speaking lightly. They await with keen delight the serving each day of the lune* The recess refreshments of cheap candy and other things are done away with largely, and in its place those who need it receive the nourishing food. This mid-morning lunch Is of considerable benefit to the children because jnany do noAeat much breakfast. The move has been sanctioned by the children’s parents. ••

LET ALL REJOICE

Taking Courage From the Spirit of the .Pilgrims. Surely the People of Today Have More Causes for Thankfulness Than They Possessed. To us It certainly seems as though the Pilgrims had little to be thankful for. If the settlers In Plymouth could “sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgivin 1621, what, pray, ought we to do in this year of bur Lord? Think of the blessings which *ve enjoy as the commonplaces of the day, of which the Pilgrims never even dreamed! A vast territory mastered, surveyed and thickly settled —abundant treasures of farm, mine, forest and mill poured out for human uses—innumerable inventions harnessed to the service of human efficiency and comfort —a great republic “conceived In liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal”—free political, educational and religious institutions, hitherto .unknown and unparalleled, successfully established a higher grade of material well being, a wider diffusion of culture, a nobler ideal of happiness, a finer conception of democracy, achieved for all the people, than the world has ever seen before! It is true, of course, that not all ills have been suppressed, nor all blessings won. But because we have not yet achieved everything is no reason why we should not be glad that we have achieved much! Because we have not yet won the goal of life is no reason why we should not rejoice that we have advanced! The world today is better than it ever has been before. Men have less suffering, greater happiness and nobler opportunity than in any epoch past. Humanity is still fighting the same persistent ills and seeking the same Illusive goods, but in new fields and-*on higher levels. The goal srtill Ues far ahead, but behind is a long road .of miseries conquered and battles won.

A Thanksgiving Offering From a Grateful Heart

Lord, we who set the furrow deep, And sow the seeds of Industry, For the rich guerdon that we reap “Give thanks to Thee! Lord, we who make the anvils ring, Who rive and weld laboriously, For all the wage our labors bring Give thanks to Thee! Lord, we who watch the spindles piy. The shuttles flying dizzily, For every boon our efforts buy , Give thanks to Thee! Lord, we who build with busy hand Of ’wood or stone unceasingly, , For whatsoe’er our arts command Give thanks to Thee! Lord, 1 we who delve in under-earth Far from Thy sunlight fair and free, For whatsoe’er we win of worth Give thanks to Thee! Lord, we who hoist the straining sail, And plow the green waves of the sea, t •' For what bur stormy tasks avail Give thanks to Thee! Lord, we the tollers of the brain. Who clutch at dreams that cling or flee, For whatsoever heights we gain Give thanks to Thee! Lord, we Thy children, small and great, Beneath Thy care, where’er it be, The while Thy grace we supplicate, Give thanks to Thee! —Clinton Scollard, in the Outlook.

Therefore, Give Thanks.

Thanks to the providence of God as it has worked in history and to the work of brave men who believed they were children of God, the petty coldpies are now one nation. Of that nation the meanest citizen, the most foolish, the weakest and the poorest, has every right and privilege before the law which belongs to the strongest, tha richest and the wisest, though he were bom in the purple of luxury.
