E. L. MEREDITH NEW CABINET
OFFICER.
Jowan Succeeds David F. Houston,
Who is Named Secretary of
the Treasury.
Washington, Jan. 27th.—David
Franklin Houston, of St. Louis; who
has been Secretary of Agriculture
since the beginning of the Wilson ad-
ministration, was given the Treasury
portfolio today, and Edwin L. Mere-
dith, of Des Moines, was named to
succeed him as head of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
Another cabinet change expected
soon is the appointment of a Secreta-
ry of the Interior, to succeed Frank-
lin XK. Lane, who desires to retire to
private life.
Mr. Meredith is the editor of Suc-
cessful Farming, president of the As-
sociated Advertising Clubs of the
World and a director of the Chicago
Federal Reserve bank.
In a statement today at Miami, Mr.
Meredith said one of his first under-
takings as head of the Agricultural
Department would be to work out
some method of getting crops to mar-
ket “without too much loss of mo-
tion.”
Meantime, Mr. Houston will succeed
Carter Glass, who will take his seat
in the Senate to fill the unexpired
term of the late Thomas S. Martin, of
Virginia, after serving as Secretary
of the Treasury for a little more than
a year.
When Secretary Lane passes out of
the cabinet only four of the President’s
original family will remain. Mr. Wil-
son had two Secretaries of State—W.
J. Bryan and Robert Lansing; two
Secretaries of War—Lindley M. Gar-
rison and Newton D. Baker; three At-
torneys General—James Clark Mec-
Reynolds, now an associate justice of
Supreme Court; Thomas Watt Grego-
ry and A. Mitchell Palmer; two Sec-
retaries of Commerce—William C.
Redfield and Joshua W. Alexander,
and three Secretaries of the Treasury
—William G. McAdoo, Carter Glass
and David F. Houston.
About the Month of February.
It is said that February this year in
addition to having two holidays, is
distinguished for having five Sundays,
a thing which has not happened be-
fore for seven hundred years and
which will not occur again for a like
period of time. The first day and the
29th, or last day of the month are
both Sundays. And there’s the ground
hog’s holiday besides a day when Bill
Fairman and his good fellowship club
“prey.”

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Buy Now While Deliveries are Possible
Buy your Ford car now while deliveries are possible. There is only a limited,
specified number of Ford cars allotted to this territory. You will be wise to buy
one now while we can get cars to deliver. A signed order with us is your protec-
tion.
Even our small allotment of Ford cars is not shipped us until we have bona-
fide orders for them. This is because the demand for Ford cars all over the
country is greater than the supply or production. So, don’t depend on spring de-
livery.
Only so many Ford cars will be shipped in to this territory; only so many will
be able to get Ford cars. If you would be forehanded and plan ahead, you will
have us deliver you a Ford car as soon as possible. Then you will have it to use
whenever you want it.
The Ford is an all year utility—in your home or business. Its serviceability,
its ease of operation, its low cost of maintenance has made it such. It will serve
you the year around. Spring and summer, autumn and winter, it is your servant;
always ready to do your bidding.
