The FORD owner not only has the
benefit of immediate relief, if mishap
occurs while on tour, but such a thing as
being without the use of his car while the
factory is making an adjustment is I'M
known TO him.
Because adjustments are made by the
FORD branch houses and dealers which
are located in all the large cities in the
country, but while the adjustment is be-
ing made, the FORD owner is driving his
car, the same as ever, the extra part hav-
ing been furnished by the nearest dealer
or branch.
Mind you, no dealer can secure a
FORD agency without keeping a stock
of parts, and keeping that stock replen-
ished. He must give service, or lose the
most reliable automobile connection in
the world. So it is by reason of the en-
forcement of this aud other FORD rules
that the FORD service means real ser.
vice to the owner of FORD Car.
You will do we'll to ponder over the
benefit derived from this great FORD
organization before deciding to buy other
than a Model i. 1t makes every FORD
owners motor experience delight

The Elks will hold business sss-
Atsion tonight and both Exalted Ruler
Mcdonald and Secretary Orchard are
DESTROYS of having big attendance.
Several matters of Importance are
coming up for consideration and all
the members should be on hand.
Praise for the committee which pre-

efforts and the success with which
they met.
The first Elk dance of the season,
which was originally set for Dec. Ii,
will be held a week from tonight in
stead. Owing TO number of other
affairs on Monday night, 1t became
necessary to change the date first set.
The committee in charge of the af-

cess and that every Elk will attend.
Invitations have been sent out by the
committee, which is composed OF
Brothers SEotwell, Patterson and Rog-

for the Christmas hop and the hall

1t has been felt that the holding of
the dance on Saturday night instead

and this was one of the reasons why
the date was changed.

kept busy Wednesday receiving the
salutes OF the large number Of sir
knights who entered the castle hall OF
the knights OF Pythias to participate
in the annual election Of officers and
other important business on the table
Of the keeper of records and seal.
One or two important communica-
tons were read from Grand Chancel-
Tor Henry. An innovation was the re-
ceipt OF news" letter edited jointly
by the grand chancellor and grand
keeper OF records and seal. II was No.

that this news letter would be issued
monthly ana in 1t would be given short
items of PythiRn doings over the do
main of North Dakota and they hoped
to hear from every castle hall in the
state regularly. The tender of a side
degree called 'the baiIiffs" was re-
spectively declined. After exhausting
the order of business the chancellor

You will have to hurry.
In an effort to bar ignorance and in
competence in order 10 raise the stand
ard Of their profession, stenographers
or Fargo are giving the educational
campaign their unanimous support.
The reason for the low average OF
wages paid the toilers at the type
writer's has been given by employers as
a lamentable lack of knowledge of the
English language, spelling and pune
tuation, on the part of the employed.
The plan which The Forum has
suggested and the stenographers are
eagerly indorsing Is that each operator
who is anxious to better his or her con-
dition obtain from one of our distribut-
ing stations the best and handiest work
of English ever compiled-the Web
ster's New illustrated Dictionary.
Practical experience has proven that
by using the work as an error elimina-
tor perfect copy can be produced and
the argument Of the employer that the
employee is not worth more than the
low salary paid successfully refuted.
The demand OF stenographers for die
tionaries Is growing hourly. and the
result Is sure to be more money and
better work.
