Quaity--Service-- Satisfaction

Ford cars are not an experiment.
Years of concentration on a
single model have produced a
motor car Of proved value. It Is
as important in modern life as the
mail service or telephone. Behind
the Ford car is genuine Ford
service, by competent mechanics
using genuine Ford Parts-with
regular standard Ford prices. That
IS the service given by this
agency.

PHOENIX HAS 4 n EIN PARKING LAW

The county of Alaricopa has 4141
registered motor cars and Phoenix
alone has 1885, giving enough cars
TO take away the city's entire popu-
lation in two loads.
The city manager is trying three
plans for parking autos. One, at
the curb, probably will be retained
only for the suburbs and for streets
with car tracks. A second places
cars IN two parallel lines down the
center of the street. each line paral-
lei TO the sidewalk. The third places

center. faced toward either curb. In
both center schemes oblong parking
spaces are marked out for the ma
chimes. The principal objection
made to the center parking is that
it keeps the cars IN the sun al all
times of the day.
Gasoline is selling in Phoenix at
Is cents, or cents above the Los
Angeles figure. The freight rate
from the coast in tank cars has been
figured at 3 Y cents a gallon, so the
price is declared a close one.

In busy cities or the country
road, the Ford is a favorite over
the whole motor field. There are
strong reasons why half the buy
ers of America demand Ford cars.
They have proved their worth
under the most trying conditions
in all parts of the world. People
buy Ford cars because they know
what they have done and will do.
They have become one Of the
everyday necessities.

CONGRESS TO VOTE NEW
WAR LOAN TO ALLIES

WASHINGTON. July 17.-Unless
the unforeseen develops, congress
probably will be asked before ad-
journment of the present session to
authorize another gigantic loan TO
the allies. The present authorize
ton of $3,0OO,OOO,O 600 will be OK
hausted within from three TO four
months at the rate at which the gov
eminent is lending money TO entente
governments.
Indications are that the amount
OF the second authorization will be
no less than the first, and may go as
high as $1,000. 100000. There is
every reason TO believe that the ad-
ministrations policy Of financing the
allied governments for purchases
they make in this country will be
continued during the period of the
war. and that the vast sums TO be
loaned them i'm the future will be
loaned as in the past, at the same
rate Of interest the American gov
eminent will have to pay for the
money and on the security Of en-
tente government bonds TO be de
posted in the treasury
