is worth more than a ton of guesses. Ford cars are sell-

because they give more satisfactory service, last longer
and. are easier to operate and cost less to maintain—and
there's no guessing about the reliability of Ford Service.

Mississippi’s endeavor to care for
I lier veterans is typical of the move-
ment throughout the South. Without
| the aid of a Federal pension, the
South—forgetting the bitterness and
travail of the Civil War, but cherish-
ing the men who fought under Lee—
j is caring for her own. The story at
Beauvoir Is peculiarly rich in pathos
and sentiment, for it was here that
Davis wrote "The Rise and Fall of
bl the Confederacy,” and here that the
deposed president of the Confederate
• States came when he left prison.
H. E. Blakeslee, former cotnmis-
’ sioner of agriculture of this State and
now director general of the Misslssip-
JJJ pi Centennial Exposition, was the first
Mississippian to contribute the fund
*13 A81”8 raiacd to build new dormitories.
When the exposition is held next

, voir will participate in “Confederate
Veterans Day." The South will honor
W i both the fighters who feel want In
tjv their old ago and the veteran of means
who have not been compelled to go I
J' to a soldier's home.
When one enters the grounds at
^ Beauvoir he inevitably pictures the
South of before the war. The house
in which Jefferson Davis lived is col-
M onial In design and circled by wide
I porches topped by square, white pil-
7 lars. A spacious hall runs down the
Q! center of the home. In this one sees
n a small marble-top table, with crook-
ed mohogany legs.
At "Jefferson Davis sat here and wrote
ft his book,” an attendant informs you.
ft "He camo here for reflection and re-
pose after the war."
There’s an old square piano in the
corner of the reception room. It be-
longed to Winnie Davis, “The daugh-
ri ter of the Confederacy." For forty
years it has gone untuned but its tone
i* soft and sweet. In this room also
one may see the silver communion
i service used by the Confederate chief-
tain. An oil painting of Jefferson
7 Davis hangs over the mantlepiece and
n about the place are photographs of ' n
Mississippi statesmen of later days. W

Dr. Minton left on the Brownsville
street or tells of Pickett's famous
charge at Gettysburg.
As the visitor walks through the
grounds lie finds little groups of old
men sitting on the benches under the
oak trees. They live in the past—
most of them—and they talk of Ap-
pomatox. Antietam, Dull Run, Rich-
mond. Atlanta, the Wilderness, Gettys-
burg. and the valley of Virginia.
Arguments flare up and wane about
