TWAS JUST LIKE THIS IN THE.
OLDEN DAYS.-We like to fancy
that our health laws are peculiarly a
modern product but read how public
health administration existed in Eng
land 400 years ago:
ct is on record" say an English
medical journal. that Shakespeare
father was fined in 1862 for violating
the bye-laWs Of the Manor of STRAIT
ford-on-AVon by depositing refuse in
the street, and again in 1858 for not
keeping his cutters clean; and in
1912 a Mayor of Nottingham was
presented at the leet court for sun
dry misdemeapors such as selling
herrings that were unfit for food and
for beginning a muck hill"
Not even the clean streets upon
which we so much pride ourselves
are a new thing under the sun.

Procrast inat ion seems to be- quite 4
factor in the forming of decisions. Some
have tendency TO sacrifice senti-
ment for prejudice and defer action for
Conditions to change that will conform
with their ideas, but this is not uni
versal, but there are isolated cases and
they have their effect, and it should be
remembered that there will never be a
form Of govrnrnent, either in its per-
sonnet or body that will suit everyone.
Don't expect it, no matter what your
hopes, creed or politics may be-
And remember no good thing comes
without cost. No city ever reached any
degree of prominence that did not make
improvements. Get busy, boost High
Point. Vote for the bonds, and Let us
make such a rapid stride toward devel-
opment that our neighbors will sit up
and take Notice. We can do it. We
have the push, energy, efficiency and
money, and it is all up to us to make
good.
And if every man will do his part,
and make this election very decisive
and marked expression of your opinions
it will do a lot to give the man higher
up good heart to do all you expect of
him, and do us all lot of good, that
will be lasting, and add credit and
honor to our already beautiful city, and
share High Points success

the CITY, -
The Annual Ford aTolt."

The most wonderful, interesting and
far reaching news item of the week is
the announcement that Henry Ford,
the wizard of the automobile world, has
knocked the stuffing out of the pre-
vious prices on Ford cars
Ford seems determined that every
man shall ownga Ford, and he. is disre-
garding big profits with view to max
ing the demand irresistible There is a
reduction announced of $50 on the tour
ing car and SAB on the roadster, Hope is
in sight for even country editors!
/. Ford is not only mechanical genius
but he is also a fiflaHcier and a friend
of the poor man. How the owners OF
other makes must hate Ford's- philan-
thropic ideast With his wonderful little
engine and Ford parts he has been
the bogy man of the automobile world
and there is little room to doubt that
practically every decrease in prices OF
other makes of automobiles has been
the result of the fearful competition OF
the Ford. "
Men and women, there is no doubt OF
it, if this thing of reduction in prices on
Fords keeps up for another four years
then Henry Ford can get by reclamation
the nomination for president on any
ticket he desires.
Only two things now stand in the way:
the price of gas must be lowered and the
installment plan of buying Fords inau-
gurated.
Then, hail to the Ford and our good
president!
What is politics, when you can ride
in Ford car on cheap gasoline and pay
for the whole outfit while you ridei
Peace and cheap Fords is the slogan.

In annual memorial session, the Or

ing yesterday at their hall on West

SAYS AMERICAN FIRMS
MUST LOWER FOREIGN
RATES FOR EXCHANGES
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Rome, Italy, Nov. 26.-James
Francis Case, civil engineer, repre-
senting the American international
Corporation in Italy and Spnn, has
just completed his first inspection
of business possibilities in Italy. One
general conclusion he has drawn is
that Americans firms should do all
possible to. lower the present high
rates of exchange with the conclusion
of the war.
Said Mr.. Case to a. correspondent
of the Associated Press: at has Deen
widely stated that American business
in Europe will suffer after the war
from the high value of the dollar, as
compared with other money, forcing
these nations to buy from each other
or go without what they need. For
instance, let US consider a pair Of
American shoes, worth four dollars
of our money. Before the war, four
dollars were worth just over twenty
lire, whereas now these four dollars
are worth twenty-six lire. For all
that the lire has still the same buy
ing power in Italy, or in Russia, and
even more in Austria or Germany,
where the mark has deprecated. Nat
urally, if an Italian can buy a pair
of shoes in another country where
his lire has better value than in
the United States, he is going to do
so.
"The solution of this exchange
problem is inducing these countries
to send US their goods to increase
their trading with us. The reason
the exchange is now high is not so
much that Europe's credit is bad with
Us, that we have no fat in her future
prosperity; it is because we are not
receiving as much goods from her as
before the war"

WATSON To Be
I TRIED TODAY
Faces Charge Sending OBJ
scene Matter Through
Mails for Third Time.

Augusta, Ca, Nov. 27.-Thomas E..
Watson, one time candidate for the
presidency on the populist ticket will
be called to trial in the federal district
court here today on charge of hav-
ing sent obscene matter through the
mails. 1t is the third time Watson,
a publisher and author of historical
works, has faced trial on the same
charges. The first Indictment was
quashed nearly two years ago on tech
nicalities. He was re -indicted last
December and after lengthy trial
the jury disagreed.
The publisher, whose home is at
Thomson, Ca, near here, is under an
indictment containing four counts
based on articles published in his
magazines, which the Indictment
states violate the federal penal code.
At his previous trial, which began
