Snow Recalls Coon Hunt
Of Olcott and Stciner
Under the above caption, the Sal
em Capital Journal of a January
date recites a remini.-f ence having
to do with a coon hunt a few
years ago when the conditions as
to snow were similar to the past
winter. This little story involves
cne of Morrow county's citizens, and
we give it as the Journal printed
the incident, it being illustrative of
the fact you can't always tell what
a man might do by his looks:
"It was a day just like this some
years ago," said Cuylcr Van Patten
to Kenneth Brown, looking out of
a window at the snow, "yes it was
just such a day as this when Ben
Olcott, then governor, Dr. Lee Stein
er, Rolla Southwlck and Dwight
Misner had their famous coon hunt.
"What?" said Cuyler to an out
sider. "Never heard of the famous
Olcott-Steiner coon hunt? Well,
you know we have a lot of coons
around here which come out and
cavort whenever there is snow and
the former governor and Doc Stein
er are great coon hunters. So was
Dwight Misner. You remember
him, used to run a garage here.
"Well Misner went out one day
and shot a coon. Instead of taking
it home he laid it sort of natural
like in the crotch of a tree well up
and suggested to Olcott and Stein
er the next day that they go on a
coon hunt. Rolla Southwich went
along. Misner steered the boys
around to within good range of the
dead coon, spotted him and turned
him over to the other boys for a
target. They all three blazed away
at once. The coon I guess was kill
ed any way eight times before it
was declared officially dead.
"Then Misner told them about it
Maybe that's why Misner left town
a while after. I don't know."

ACTRESS TELLS SECRET
Tells How to Darken Gray Hair
With a Home-Mado Mixture.
Jolcey Williams, the well-known
American actress, recently made the
following statement about gray hair
and how to darken it, with a home
made mixture:
"Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home that will gradually
darken gray, streaked or faded hair,
and make It soft and glossy. To a
half-pint of water add 1 ounce of
bay rum, a small box of Barbo com
pound, and V ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought
at any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair twice a week un
til the desired shade is obtained.
This will make a gray-haired person
look twenty years younger. It docs
not color the scalp, is not sticky or
greasy and does not rub off." Adv.

Ultimate east is as important
as first east in the purchase
of an automobile
WHEN you purchase an automobile you are mak
ing an investment of a considerable amount of
money. It is essential, therefore, that you give careful
thought to the best selection and know what you are
getting f orjour automobile dollars.
The first cost is important because it may mean
an immediate, satisfactory saving. Of equal impor
tance is the ultimate cost after thousands of miles of
service. This ultimate cost is the true measure of
automobile value.
TlIE first cost of the new Ford is unusually low not
only because of economies in manufacturing, but
because the same principles that inspire these savings
are extended to every other slop that means greater
service to the public. It is easy to see that economies
in production would be of little value if they were
sacrificed later through high charges for distribution,
selling, financing and accessories.
The Ford dealer, therefore, does business on the
6ame low-profit margin as the Ford Motor Company.
His discount or commission Is twenty-five to fifty
per cent lower than that of any other automobile
dealer. You gain because he makes a small profit on
many sales instead of a large profit on fewer sales.
The difference in selling cost, combined witli the
low charges for financing and accessories, amounts
to at least $50 to $75 on each car. This is as impor
tant as economies in production in keeping down the
price you pay for the new Ford.
TlIE low ultimate cost of the new Ford is the result of
sound design, quality of material and unusual care in
manufacturing. Friction and w ear are reduced by the
accuracy with which each part is made and assembled.
These factors combine to decrease the cost ofi
operation and add months and years to the useful life
of the car. The good performance and low yearly
depreciation of the new Ford are indicative of the!
enduring quality built into it at the factory.
SERVICE charges are on the same fair, economical
basis as the making and selling of the car and replace
ment parts are always available at low prices through
all Ford dealers. In two, three or five years, depend
ing on how much you drive, the saving in operating
and maintaining a new Ford will amount to eveu
more than the saving on the first cost.
Think in terms of tomorrow, therefore, when you
purchase an automobile. For tomorrow will reveal
its true worth.
