^ " "" ^V h ^ Quality Goes Clear Through F T f,]. Built Solidly to "Stan dUp" As you know the Dort has won a national - name for its "stay put" qualities. Observe especially the stalwart frame, the massive side members, the solid construction. This over-size frame is particularly valu able in a light car such as the Dort because it keeps the car rigid under continuous road pounding. Everywhere throughout the Dort structure where there is a working strain you find this over-size and over-strength. Now you know why the Dort goes to the repair shop with such extraordinary infrequence. It's built to "stay put" as veterans of the road phase it. And, observe please, how accessible it is. Accessibility has always been a pronounced characteristic of the Dort% Whenever your Dort does need a little ("tuning up" or an adjustment here or there you don't have to disemble the car. One of the foremost thoughts of Dort engineers was to build the car so its owners - " could give it the ordinary service attention easily and inexpensively.

Hard- 1 i 1 ing on November 4 was not unexpected by those who were able to read j between the lines. For several months previous to the election politicians who read much and talked a good deal seemed to feel that Mr. Cox had little chance of winning. There seemed to be a sort of dissatisfaction in the air. And dissatisfaction with things in general boded no good for the party in power. There were millions of discontents throughout the land and these voted for a change of party. The Democrats had had eight years in ollice. uuruig uie uemocratic aaministration America entered the great war and won it for the Allies. During the eight years of Democratic administration the country passed through a period of great prosperity and naturally some sort of reconstruction became necessary. War-time prices could not continue. Each of these changes in conditions made enemies for the party in power. And each of these enemies registered his protest by voting for Harding and the Republican party. Had the Republican party been in power before anl during the war and up to the present time, the Republican party mould have suffered defeat at the hands of the voters, just as the Democrats were buried in an avalanche of protest. Beginning away back in 1914 the Democrats made enemies of all those people who wanted America to plunge into the war at its beginning. In 1917 those who deprecated our entrance into the mar resolved to vote tne Democratic ticket no move. Then, it must be remembered that there are many thousands of pro-Germans in the United States whose votes would be for any party other than the Democratic organization and for any man other than Woodrow Wilson. There was also resentment against the administration because the League of Nations had not been adopted and resentment by others because the administration had tried so hard to adopt it. There were those who lost sons in the war who blame the administration for entering the war; for the draft law and for various other details in connection with the conduct of the army which they thought worked a hardship upon them or their sons. The administration has been blamed for financial fluctuations, for the rise or fall in the price of commodoties. Many Republican votes were cast in the Democratic South by farmers who blamed the administration for the low price of cotton. So, all in all, there were many factors contributing to the defeat of Governor Cox and the party behind him. The success of Senator Hard [ '"K wus m nu way a personal success. The landslide was not drawn toward Harding and the Republicans; it was pushed that way from Cox and the Democrats. At the General Elections last week the amendment to exempt Chesterfield from certain restrictions was carried and is now law. This amendment is also known as the "water works bill," because it enables the town to issue bonds for the amount necessary to construct water works and a sewerage systed. A petition having already been circuited and signed, it is now only necessary to hold an election and vote for the improvement. The election will be arranged for early in the spring. While the County Fair comes at a time whes our farmers are unusually busy, due to the lateness of the cotton crop, it is better late than never. The state of mind ol the majority of our citizens has of late been such as will ben It by relaxation. Fair week is a good time to forget troubles, lay aoiuc nuuicflj 11 a a w11/11. tllc ^tty throng, laugh and be merry. We have been thinking in figures, anywhere between 12 V4 and 20 cents for so long that it will do us good to get away from it *11 for a few days and have a good time meeting friends, riding on the merry-go-round, shooting the shutes and being childish and foolish generally. We get enough tragedy out of life without trying, let us try for a little comedy. It is gratifying to note that at least half the cotton that is being ginned in and near Chesterfield is being held off the market. It is also gratifyng to note that about half is being sold That half that is being warehoused or otherwise held for better prices will undoubtedly have its effect on bringing a fair price when the factories begin to needl cotton. The half that is being sold now is paying debts, buying necessities and keeping money in circulation. Each half, the dormant and the active, are therefore souring a purpose.

GOOD HEALTH HINTS jj V Oklahoma Farmer Gives Sound Ad* 0 vice on Avoiding Sickness.? Used Black-Draught c 30 Years. <= Cameron, Okla.?"I hare used 0 Thed ford's Black-Draught for about r thirty years, and certainly ought to n know by this time what a good medicine it 1b," eays Mr. T. L. Bostler, a well-known fanner of this place. Mr. I Bostler has passed his three-score-and- s tenth year, hut declares his health c still is good, "and I can aay BlackDraught did Its part." "Where there is a lot of malaria, a liver medicine is a necessity, and I t nave never round one better tnan . Black-Draught," continues the Okiehoman. "It is one that I know to be 1 reliable. I sure use It for the liver, ( stomach, constipation. Indigestion, and j< it has done me a world of good. We use it for the family, and it gives a satisfaction. a "Most trouble, or sickness, comes a from the liver, and If taken in time can be avoided. That Is why I use Black-Draught as I do. I am much pleased with results obtained." Thedford's Black-Draught is purely vegetable. It acts on the bowels, gent- r ly stimulating the liver, and helps in- ^ crease the normal flow of bile into the r Intestines. It assists in the digestion c of food, and relieves constipation in s j prompt and natural way. Ask your druggist for a package to day. Insist on Thedford's.
