1000 A DAY IS
RECORD OF FORD

More than 1000 completed automo-
biles day for twenty-four consecutive
working days was the new record hung
ND during February by the Ford Mo-
tor Company. February shattered all
previous production records OF the
company During this single. short
month 24,62l model rs were built and
shipped. This cXcclled the month of
January, itself n record smasher. dur
ing which 1896 model rs were built
and shipped 70 branches and agents
throughout the world.
Prior to January, 1914. tho company
big month came In June, 1918 when
22.0i9 model rs passed out through the
f;tctory's doors.
Eut not orr did the company IN
February brcail all records Or previ-
Gus months but It also set a new high
water mark for a days production OF
automobiles when, on the 21th Of the
month. it turned out 1886 complete
Fords TIL previous daily production

ANOTHER USE FOR

Tho regular scrniannual moving

pany, OF Elyria. .. "Of the vast NUM-
Der of families that make two annual
inigrations. from city residence to
country home and return, only q very
small percentage now see their goods

THE ART OF DUCK CALLING.


There Is absolutely no question Dut
that when properly used a call Is OF
the greatest benefit TO the man shoot-
ing over decoys.
To be a good caller 1t Is almost nee
essary to be able to name your species
as soon as you clap your eyes on them
at least you must know what they are
before they are in speaking distance.
And besides you must know just what
they say. You must familiarize your
self with their different calls and be
able to initiate them; know when one
of their kind would give the Hooking
call and when the feed call. Doesn
sound easy does il? Wen It isn't The
very best way to learn Is to get In a
blind with a man who knows how and
study his methods. practice rgh'
along with him. have heard some
men say. study the birds themselves
when they are calling. This Is
pretty tough problem IN the first
place. when the ducks on the water
are at ease. enough SO 10 call and
decoy passing flocks, they are general
rs far enough away so that the gun

course II is better to study their tall
first hand. but for all purposes the
quicker and easier way is TO get youl
training second hand from some mar
who can demonstrate To YOU what h
