THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Sedan, with electric self-starting
and lighting systern and demountable rims with
3j4-inch tires front and rear, is a family car of
class and comfort, both in summer and in winter.
For touring it is a most comfortable car. The
large plate glass windows make it an open car
when desired, while in case of rain and all inclem
ent weather, it can be made a most delightful
closed car in a few minutes. Rain-proof, dust
proof, fine upholstering, broad, roomy seats.
Simple in operation. Anybody can safely drive
it. W hile it has all the distinctive and econom
ical merits of the Ford car in operation and
maintenance. Won’t you come in and look it
over?
RIGGS BROS. McCrory, Ark
A COAL HEAVER
Since the beginning of time
there has been a raging con
flict between good and bad,
democracy and autocracy, and
right and wrong and so long as
man exists upon this old world
of ours, that conflict will con
tinue.
There are no more Alexan
ders, Caesars or Napoleons,
everyone looks upon a wav as
a monstre dragon, destroying
man with a continuous sweep
of his mighty sword; bringing
destruction and pathos to the
land with his breath of flame;
and oppressing and murdering
the weak and the helpless; and
it should be thought of thus.
When we thnik of the world
war which has brought des
truction and famine to the old
world, our minds naturally
turn with sympathy to the dev
estated conditions of Belgium
and France. WTe can see in our
mind's eye the wives, mother?
and children of the thousands
of brave and loyal men who
went out to fight -for the free
^ dom of their country, as they
watch with longing eyes and
anxious hearts the columns
of soldiers keeping in per
fect rythm with the martial ah
as they return from the front
These wives, mothers and chil
dren anxious to know if per
haps at least one of their lov
ed ones had survived and was
returnng to them. Then, too
we can lend our sympathy tc
the bereaved homes of our own
land which have given one—
perhaps two or even three tc
the cause of Democracy.
Yet, taking all these thing*
into consideration, in our opin
ion, this war has done more tc
educate our nation than am
other thing that ever happen
ed. Men have been gathered
i'rom the remotest corners of
our land, and taken to the
training camps and many of
:hem crossed the sea, which
otherwise would have been
impossible. And too, these
men, after receiving their dis
charge from the service, are
lot going back to the life they
led before the war. They have
'been educated and their minds
have been elevated to a high
er plane than could have been
brought about with years of
practical teaching.
Now, that the days of ex
citement have passed and they
have fought and wron, these
men are anxious to get back
from the service, to be out
|from under the military disci
pline and to be the same care
free Americans they once were.
For instance take the follow
ling poem written by G. H.
Ford, McCrory, Ark., who had
eighteen months of service in
the navy and who composed it
while enroute home and you
!an see for yourself one exam
jPle of what the war has done.
I’ve been a Gob for eighteen
I months and I’ve sailed the roll
ing sea, but I am homeward
bound today, for the Navy’s
through with me.
I got my papers yesterday,
my ticket and my pay;I’m head
ed straight for a job on land,
where I am going to stay.
I. But I’m thinking now as I
ride the train, with a grin upon
' my face; of the other lad
who’ll pass the coal, tomor
row in my place.
I’ve loaded coal in old New
• York, I’ve loaded coal in
Brest; I’ve shoveled fuel north
and south, and shoveled east
and west.
IVe stored in deep in bunk
!ers dark, I’ve h<?ld my place in
(line; and cussed as only sailors
can, each Pennsylvania mine.
Let poets sing of the rolling
deep, of life upon the sea; I’m
glad to say that another chap
is passing coal for me.
I’ve had my bouts with jim
my legs, I’ve sweated and I’ve
toiled, I’ve knuckled down for
the sake of peace, to the C. P.
O. hardboiled.
I’ve stood my watch when
the night was cold and out in
the blazing sun; but the sweet
est words I’ve ever heard were
when they said, “you’re done.”
So let me smile as I’m home
ward bound, let me look at the
trees and grass, for I’m near
ing the place of my youth,
where there’ll be no coal to
pass.
