2O,63S FORD CARS SOLD
IN MONTH OF AUGUST
Represents Gain Of 300 Per
Cent. Over Same Month in 1918
and Has Big Import.

There wcre 2osSs Ford cars sold and
delivered in August and tho company is
st,n away behind the orders In hand
In August last year the Ford Motor Com
panv sold 7.5i7 cars, so this year reprr.
sents nearly a 800 per cent. gain. August
is always the liehtest month OF the year
IN sales thus the figures take on new
meaning The rcal Significance In this
larger volume Of sales lies In tho fact
that II encourages the faith that the
Ford Motor Company will reach lie goal
OF 100000 cars for this year.
When the company announced the new
profit sharing plan whereby the buyers OF
Ford cars between August OF this year
and August /. 1915. were to receive "a
rebate Of from $40 to $50. In addition TO
an immediate reduction In price. provided
800, o00 cars were sold within that period.
there was doubt expressed by some IN
familiar with the nature of the Ford bust
ness that such large sales could be AT.
tanned That the Ford company knew
what II was about and was not lacking In
conservatism or sincerity Is proved by
these August sales
The excellent condition OF Ford bust.
ness, revealing as II does extraordinary
growth. is not due to sudden expansion In
any particular direction, but results from
an advance all slong the line In some
sections NJ the country there has been.
as Is well known. a falling of I'm motor

Lake Charles Times: Several hundred

New Orleans States: The Louisville

Why not pronounce it plain rot.

read the assertion that our own Louisiana

supporting, but it does not make enough to
run it until Christmas. We read recently
that something like a million dollars per
month was spent in New Orleans for con

they do without it entirely. What is the

WORK.

What would you think if you should see,
in some newspaper some day an ADVERTISE
ment like this:
GA recipe for happiness and long lie
will be sent free to any one promising to
make use of it, AS this recipe consists OF
onlv one word, it is neither costly nor hard
to use.''
Perhaps you would smile incredulously.
Maybe you might disregard it as fake.
Possibly you'd take the matter seriously
and send in your name and address
wondering meantime what one word could
he a cure for such common and universal
ailments as discomfort and early death.
Undoubtedly, you would do some thinking
when the answer came" Work!'
Not long ago Sir Andrew Clark, the
distinguished physician, said to Lord
Strathcona, one of England's grand old
men, "There's no reason why you should
not live to be hundred if only you will
keep on working"
And it would be mighty fine thing for
the general run of humanity if to each
Young man and woman should come some
one whose word is respected, to say, "You
can be happy and live long time If you
will work steadily and keep cheerful
Of course, there are tens of thousands
so born or placed that they don't have to
be advised to work. They are forced to GO
to work long before they should and they
have nothing to be very cheerful about,
though it is a fact that there is vast
among of good cheer current among just
such overburdened and underfed persons.
But there are other tens of thousands
who, just because they happen to be born
to living, decide wrongly and foolishly
that there is no need for them to work.
And as matter of fact, these latter are
not so happy as the former, though their
bodies be we'll nourished and their minds
entertained in a variety of ways. They
may live little longer, on the whole, bu1
their longer lives are not worth SO much te
them as the shorter lives of the other class
are worth to them.
1t is not necessary to wear ones self GU
with work-and if every one worked a:
they should, there would be no cause fol
such excess on the part of any. But ii
order to live in any sense contentedly ane
to keep ones place for more than the low
average of thirty odd years, it is neces
sary that one should have hand in thu
work of the world.
As one authority lately said: "Worl
and the interest which goes with it is un
doubtedly a determining element in Ion
gevity. The living brain keeps the bod,
alive, which is probably the reason VIII.
of long life."
The right use of that word "work" vii
prove remedy for many ills.

Then shall they call upon me, but will
not answer; they shall seek me early, but
they shall not find mel, 24-28.

Well said by the San Francisco Chroni-

on the Pacific coast: "The result of the
Fifteenth Amendment, while all thu inn
portant and influential men of the South
weIe still excluded from voting, was to
send into the South horde of Northern
political scoundrels, who, under military
protection, orgonized and voted the igno-

extravaganza, spoliation and corruption
such as the world has hardly seen else
