present officers began as employees of the
Company. It was the first company to pay
a minimum wage, beginning in 1914, at
the then astounding figure of $5 a day.
That was double the prevailing wage of
the time. The Ford minimum is now $6
a day for all employees engaged in pro-
duction work. And from that, the wages
rise to $10.80 a day, with the average wage
$7.25, exclusive of salaried employees.

FLOYD ASHER ANNOUNCES
FOR COMMISSIONER
PRECINCT NO. ONE
I herewith announce my candidacy (
for the office of Commissioner of <
Precinct No. One, and respectfully ;
solicit the vote and influence of the
citizens. It will be my purpose « to
personally solicit your vote, but in i
the event that I should not see each i
voter, I take this means of asking
for your support. I have been a resi-
dent of Lampasas County for the past
nineteen years, and this is the first
time that I have ever asked for an
office. I believe that a public office
is a public trust, and that rotation in
office is in keeping with the princi-
pals of democracy. Even though one
man fill an office well, if the public
depends entirely on one man to fill it
always, then, there would come a
time when there would be no one to
fill said office. I believe that I am
qualified to serve the people as their
Commissioner, and ask the considera-
tion of the voters.
Sincerely,
Floyd Azhar.

afternoon at thehome of Mrs. W. T17

most capable and enjoyable manner
by Mrs, Ed Allard. Those attending,
were much interested in this work

Jebb followed, stumbling over the
refuse in the streets.
A bonfire-had been lighted in the
square before the district police-sta-
tion. The-windows were ragged with
broken glass. The door hung on a
fractured hinge. In the square,
nearer the fire, a man and a woman
were struggling within a tangel of
bloodthirsty fiends who clutched at
them, struck at them with clubs,
and slashed with knives. «

Jebb sat in deep revqrie, deeply
dejected. Then he shook off the old
sorrow, and prepared to go. He
wondered what reward Hafiz would
think appropriate. He decided

The huge wrestler looked at the

There was no insult in his superior-

Jebb smiled, too, at the magnifi-
cence of this Vanderbilt-Pierpontism,
and asked:

“Her name in Weeseonseen was
Annie Meetchel, but I gave her
neew name—Osmanli name—Nayi-
ma, eet ees one nice name—yes?”
Jebb thought, yes indeed—not so
pretty as Minima, but a gerat im-
provement on Annie Mitchell.
“I used to have my kahn near
the Egyptian Bazaar,” Hafiz went
on, “but since my Nayima is out in
the grave there I like thees better. In

“The Gladstone—they tell me you
found it?—where?”
“The Gladdastone, effendim?
What is that?” .
“The bag—the valise—the—that
thing of mine, you found.”
After another thimbleful of cof-
fee, another mouthful of smoke,
Hafiz rose, and, entering the khan,
brought forth the Gladstone bag.
Jebb recognized it with intense de-
iight. He w:jjit<d. tb caress it. F4
was the first material link to his un-
substantial past..
He rummaged the contents with a
sharpness of eye that might have
offended a subtler Turk than Hafiz.
“AU is there, I theenk?” Hafiz
asked, and Jebb nodded as he recog-
nized every document he had col-
lected in John Thatcher’s cause.. But
he hack cherished a wild hope of
finding something more. With some
embarrassment he asked:
- “You didn’t find ten thousand dol-
lars in here, did you?’1"-"' '- "•*

always joked. His politely amiable
smile was more convincing than any
other disclaimer could have been.
“Oh, yes,” he chuckled, “I find

“Would you mind telling me

“Sure, I'll tell you, but not unteel

“Oh, thank you. 1’11 go back to

“The Breestol—not on your teen-

they say?—ra snack with me.”
He would hear of nothing else,
and Jebb was forced to resign him-
self to the delay, hoping that per-j
haps some clew might yet transpire !
to aid his further search.
Afterwards Hafiz began his story:

PRESIDENT VETOES
RIVERS, HARBORS-BILL
Washington, May 21.__Preaidtan
Roosevelt vetoed a 1109^85,450 rivart
and harbors bill today because, ht
told congress, the war departmeatr
should devote Its energies to “mill-
tary preparedness" rather than non-
military activities.
The measure would have authori-
zed 151 projects for the improvement
of rivers, harbors and other naviga-
tion facilities and would have re-
quired the army engineers to make
surveys of 149 other projects. (In-
cluded was the Whitney dam on the
Brazos river.)
After asserting that available
authorizations for all these purposes
now totalled >132,973,750, which he
described as “a sufficient backlog,"
the-presldent said in a message' to
the house:
“Regardless of every other consid-
eration, it seems to me that the non-
military activities of the war depart-
ment-Should give way at this time to
the need for military preparedness. "
This is a need, no^ so apparent at
the time the bill was under consid-
eration by the congress, that must
now be recognized by all as-a mat-
ter demanding priority of atten-
