McCLURE to confer
WITH HENRY FORD
Original Ford-for-President
Man Will Talk With Auto
Magnate.
Atlanta, Ga„ Aug. 8.—“It would sur
j ge you.’’ said C. W. McClure, At
| anta ‘,. business man, “to to know a group just ^in how a
al h otel lobby,
1 ' Ford sentiment there is
, h Henry
(leorgia. I honestlyi believe there
in for Henry Ford
are more Georgians
f„r President today than any other man
for president. And the Ford ‘boom’ is
growing, too, his star yet is in the as¬
cendency. Keep your eye on Henry
Ford; he may be your next president.
Mr McClure, who is the head of a
chain of ten-cent stores throughout the
stat o, is intensely interested in nation
j politics. He is not precisely a Dem¬
ocrat or a Republican—he is a Henry
Ford-er. He claims to be—and is gen¬
erally recognized in the South as the
•original’ Henry Ford-For-President
man. He has in his possession corres¬
pondence he had with Mr. Ford seven
years ago at which time Mr. McClure
suggested Ford- for the presidency on
a xew or Third Party ticket.
Mr. McClure said today that he may
make a trip to Detroit in the next 30
days to go over the political situation
w ith Henry Ford in person.
■There is not any doubt in my mind
if Ford gets the Democratic nomina
ton he will be elected and he would
probably be elected on an independent
ticket,” said Mr. McClure.
Local politicians are pointing to the
fact that possibly Mr. Ford is in a posi¬
tion similar to that in which Mr. Mc¬
Clure found himself seven or eight
years ago. The labor element at that
time insisted that; Mr. McClure make
the race for mayor. It appeared that
Mr. McClure did not want to be mayor
or even want to run, but on the advice
of personal friends he permitted his
supporters to go ahead with his sup¬
posed mayoralty | aspirations, talk on
it and insist on it until it went a great
deal farther than he expected that it
would. Mr. McClure admits that if it
had not been out of the question for
him to enter politics at that time, he'
would have been tempted to give in and
make the race.
That the Ford boom is remarkable
has been pointed out by number of
Georgia editors, Mr. McClure says.
“Who would have dreamed a year
ago,” said Mr. McClure, quoting one
editor,'| “that today there would be a
strong persistent movement, national
in scope to place the richest man in
America in the White House, and that
the strength of the movement would
not be in the ranks of the plutocracy—
the money kings and industrial mag¬
nates—but among the common people.”

A CLEVER BIRD
Cornelia Ashley
Birds, our feathered brothers of the
wood, certainly show a wonderful in¬
stinct at the nesting-time and when the
little birds are hatched and begin their
training against the enemy.
One day I took a little brown path
which leads over a hill, through the
scrub growth to a meadow beyond.
While walking along quietly through
the new growth of early summer, I
heard the whir of a partridge, then a
call, and then before my eyes fluttered
a bird with apparently a broken wing.
I knew the game she was playing and
so I followed her a short distance
watching with keen interest and de¬
light her attempts to draw me now
this way, now that way, but all the
time leading me farther away from the
starting point.
I turned back and sat down to await
developments. Only a minute or two
passed when the mother bird ran
through the path straight to her brood
of little birds.
Sure enough, a clear, low call, and
immediately from under the dried
brown leaves and grases bright eyes
showed and little striped-backed birds
were at attention. Another low call,
and they ran to the mother bird, it
seemed as if she counted them, for she
turned from one to another before she
was satisfied to move along.
If all the young folks who have the
opportunities to study wild things of
the forest, would grow to love them and
protect them, feeding them in winter
when the snow is on the ground, they
would be happier and our forests would
be full of their happy homes.

Do you ever think about insurance? If not, think about it
right now and several times. When you do think about it, think
about a GOOD insurance agency with good companies in it. I
have succeeded, in making my insurance agency be known for the
good service it gives to the people who want insurance. I have
recently added some mighty good companies to the ones I already
had. Now my list includes the following companies: Hartford,
Aetna, Atlas, Liverpool, London and Globe, North British and
Mercantile, Fire Association, Philadelphia Underwriters and the
Continental. There are no better companies—several of these
you already know. Maybe with these GOOD companies and by
giving A-l Service you will let me take care of your insurance
business. 1 certainly do want it and expect to give such service
and have such companies that it will be worth your time to see
me or write me when you want any kind of insurance, for this
agency is prepared to write every form of insurance.
