MISS BESS FOUCHE

THRBSTJPON HER
McDonough, Ga. —Miss Bess
Fouche, of this citv, who holds
the distinction of being the first
and only woman clerk of a super
ior court in the United States
doesn’t believe in women enter
ing politics. In fact she is one of
those who have greatness thrust
upon them.
The story of her selection for
the position she holds is not one
of campaign tours or of stump
speaking.
Her father, the late James A.
Fouche, for twelve years clerk of
the surerior court of Henry county
brought her up from her school
days to help him in his office
work. When school was over
she became deputy clerk and a
still greater help to her father.
Mr. Fouche died on March 4,
and on March 5 and 6 prominent
citizens of McDonough and of
Henry county circulated a petition
to which hundreds of names were
signed, asking that Bess Fouclie
be appointed to serve out her
father’s unexpired term.
The board of commissioners of
Henry county appointed her clerk
of the superior court on March 6,
but Bess Fouche at first refused,
the appointment. Then, urged on
by the bosrd of commisioners, she
accepted the position.
Miss Fouche is a sweet-faced
retiring woman, and she doesn’t
believe in women politicians or in
women officeholders, except in a
few cases.
Many people have asked me if I
shall run in the next election,”
said Miss Fouche, “but of course I
1 don’t intend to. I simply could
not go out over the county mak
ing speeches and conducting cam
paigns. Whats more, I wouldn’t
want to! I don’t believe in women
doing that sort of thing. It isn’t
a woman’s place.
THE UNIVERSAL CAR
ANNOUNCEMENT 0 , ,„„„, „ MILLIONS of FAMILIES
“I will build a car for the multitude” /
Said Henry Ford in 1903 —Rend how the fulfillment of that prophecy is n nv ma le possib'e through the

For many years it has been Henry Ford’s personal ambition to make the Ford the universal family car—to put it within the reach of the
millions of people who have never been privileged to enjoy the benefits of motorcar ownership.
During the past fifteen years over 7,500,000 Ford cirs have been placed in the hands of retail customers —more than a million and a ha'f of
them within the past twelve months—and yet there are still millions of families who are hopefully looking forward to the day when they
can own a Ford.
And now the way is open.
Under the terms of this plan you can sellect your Ford Car, set aside a small amount each week and you will be surprised how soon y<3u will
owm it. In the meantime your money will be safely deposited to your credit in one of the local banks where it will draw interest.
Think it over. Five dollars will start an account. The whole family can participate in it—fa‘her, mother, brothers and sisters each doing a little.
Why not start today. Stop in and talk it over with your local Ford dealer. He will be glad to fulfy explain the detads of the plan and help
you get started toward the ownership of a Ford car.

When I was first apDointed I
was quite overcome by the honor
of being clerk —and the first
woman clerk, at that. Not that I
don’t know mv job, fo-i I have
done just about the same work
for years, but it seems somehow
different and much more responsi
ble when I have the title of clerk
of the superior court.
I shall discharge my duties in
the most efficient way possible,
but when eleciion times comes
around I shall take a back seat!”
Its verv odd that Georgia’s first
woman clerk should be a “passive
suffragist” (as she styles hei self),
one who believes that woman’s
place is in the home!

Save More Chicks This Year
The very surest way you can save more baby
chicks this year is to use the right starting feed. Ordi
nary grain feeds and home mixed rations kill countless
chicks every year. How often you hear the expression
“I had bad luck with my chicks. So many of them
died.” In most cases the trouble is in the starting
feed. Make up your mind to save more baby chicks.
