WEATHERFORD. TEXAS. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1920
A Roman
Serves Rome Best
What Southern farmer would trade his mules for horses?
The mule is proverbially a Southern servant, valued in rough
fields for his endurance and willingness through long, try-
ing seasons. He’s a more practical, heat-resisting animal
than the horse, and serves more efficiently while eating less
feed.
The STANDARD BATTERY is built in the Southwest.
Just as the mule is the native, logical, ideal Southern work
animal, the STANDARD is the ideal battery for Southern
service.
It is built for terriffic Work, monotonous, hot dry seasons
sharp cold spells, jagged brutal rOads and punishing loads.
It is a native Texan, born and bred as the mule is, for stren-
uous Southwestern service. If you demand stamina and last-
ing, dogged endurance under trying conditions, you’ll find
the STANDARD a distinctly superior battery.

COX PROUD OF FIGHT

INTO AN AGREEMENT

PRETTY STENOGRAPHER
FOULLY MURDERED.
St. Louis, Nov. 6.—Miss Edna El-
lis, 18 years old, was found myster-
iously murdered in a clump of weeds
In a vacant lot In the northern part
o£ the city Friday. Miss Ellis was
a stenographer and was considered
pretty. Her throat had been slashed
and a broken razor was found near
the body.
The girl had been beaten severely.
Both eyes were discolored and her
left jaw was swollen. The body bore
numerous marks of maltreatment.
The condition of the ground near!
where the body was found indicated i
Miss Ellis fought desperately with
her assailant. The lot is located in
a populous section and police say
they do not understand why the
girl’s outcries were not heard by
neighbors.
Miss Ellis, who lived near the
scene of the murder, was last seen
getting off a street car in the
neighborhood en route home from
work the previous evening. Shortly
before the body was found at 9 a. m.
Miss Ellis’ mother reported to the
police that her daughter had not
come home Thursday night.
Police began a search cf the
neighborhood and footprints In the
lot led to the discovery of the body.
Associated Prese
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 6.—Governor
James M. Cox. Democratic candi-
date for the presidency, in his first
statement since the election, said
that in spirit he was “as proud as
when the fight started,” and that
he “would not retrace a step nor
yield a single jot in principle.”
Governor Cox’s statement follows:
“For the frst time in ten years the
Republican party is in complete con-
trol of the legislative and executive
branches of the national government.
Therefore, policy as to statute and
administration Is with it. Its task is
no longer that of the critic, but the
constructor. It is my hope and firm
belief that the Democracy of the na-
;tion will not attempt political sabot-
age. The country has seen quite
enough of that.
“We are in the midst of an emer-
gency, and the nation’s every re-
source should co-ordinate In behalf
of the things that are helpful. So
long as government exists, the prin-
ciples of Thomas Jefferson will be
the center about which human hopes
will gather. Talk of a new party
is absurd. One might as well dis-
cuss the destruction of human emo-
tions.
"In spirit I am as proud as when
the fight started. I would not re-
trace a step nor yield a single jot
of principle. It was a privilege to
make the contest in the face of
overwhelming odds. There Is a dis-
tinct difference beteween defeat and
surrender. The flag of Democracy
still flies as the symbol of things
more enduring than the passions
and resentment that come with the
aftermath of war.”

HARDING STARTS ON VACA-
TION TRIP TO SOUTH TEXAS
Associated Press
On President-elect Harding's Special
Train, Nov. 6.—Starting for a month’s
vacation trip to Southern Texas and
Panama, Senator Harding today laid
aside the cares of the presidential
campaign for an interim of real rest
and recreation before he takes up seri-
ously the responsibility of the incom-
ing administration. Although his mind
already is at work upon the prelimi-
nary details of the administration's
policy in the plan for a new associa-
tion of nations, he doe? not propose
to let the task interfere with his out-
ing. He has asked several leading
statesmen to prepare views on the
subject, but the first conference will
not take place until after his return
to Marion, about December 6.
Associated Presa
Paris, Nov. 6.—France, Great Brit-
ain and Italy have signed a tripar-
tite agreement in which they agree
to support each other in maintaining
their “spheres of influence” in Tur-
key. The limits of the areas in
which the respective special inter-
ests of France and Italy are recog-
nized are defined by the same doc-
ument.
This agreement, it developed to-
day, was signed at Sevres, Aug. 10,
the day the public ceremonial of the
signing of the peace treaty with
Turkey took place. Although the
agreement, ft is explained, is not
considered a secret one, it neverthe-
less has never Bees made public
until now, after a lapse of Snarly
three months since the signing. Un-
der its own terms, the document was
to come into force and be published
at the time the Turkish peace treaty
should go into effect. This date is
still an uncertainty.
In connection wth examination of
the text of the agreement, now avail-
able, attention is being called here
to the fact that while the treaty
recognizes the special interest of
France in Cilicia and the western
part of Kurdistan, bordering on Syr-
ia, and of Italy in southern Anatolia,
the British spheres of influence are
not only undefined, but are not men-
tioned. This has raised the question
if the agreement Is susceptible of
the interpretation that the British
interests may be held to extend to
any or all the remaining parts of
the Turkish empire.
It is noted also, that while the
agreement does not take the form
of an alliance, it pledges the con-
tracting powers to "render diploma-
tic support to each other in main-
taining ther respective positions in
the areas in which their special in-
terests are recognized."
Article 10 of the agreement pro-
vides that nothing oentained in it
world’s heavyweight boxing cham-
signatory states to free access to
the various commercial and econo-
mic purposes.

to Secretary Daniels protesting against
the announced cruises of the Atlantic

Atlantic fleet will go both to South

TION OF PARDONING DEBS
Washington, Nov. 6.—President Wil-
son is understood to have no intention
of pardoning Eugene V. Debs, who is
now serving a ten years sentence in
the Atlanta federal prison for viola-
tion of the espionage act. The posi-
tion taken by the President, according
to those who profess to know his
views, is that executive clemency in
such a case would set a bad precedent
and would encourage others to oppose
the government In the event of anoth-
er war.
