NeU Ford Bodies Make
Neat appearance; Used
Parts Grow In Demand

one Of the many masterpieces Of
Henry Ford IS the new Ford body
completed at the Ford factory. In fact
the new bodies 4 carload Of which
nave arrived at Byars & Co. are not
readily recognized as a part OF the
well known Ford car. In shane the
new car is similar to the more elegant
models while the durability for which
Ford goods have become famous is re-
tanned in the new body as is the very
reasonable price. another well known
quality Of the Ford articles.
J. Q. Byars, manager OF the firm.
announces that the strongest phase OF
his wartime business still continues to
be IN used parts, for which the de-
mand is brisk.

MEN WAITING ON DECISION
OF VARIOUS DRAFT BOARDS

A lull IN the sale Of used cars is
attributed by manager J. D. Walters.
Of Walters & Durham, to unsettled
conditions caused by men between the
ages Of IS and IS who are waiting
to see what the draft board does in
their case before doing any more auto
business. While the last draft has
caused some sale OF cars, there is
nothing like a dumping Of used cars
on the market, says Afr Durham, who
looks for business to settle down to
more steady course after classified

Declaration of martial law in the
great ports of Hamburg and Bremen
and lack of definite news concerning
the progress of the strike movement
in Germany indicate the possibility
that the authorities have taken stern
measures to deal with the discomfort
ed workmen. Belated reports, how
ever, show that the movement has
spread widely since Monday. Some
correspondents in Holland believe
that the situation has grown worse,
owing to the efforts of the German
Government to minimize the impor-
lance of the strike and the scarcity of
news.
While report from Copenhagen
says that all the Socialist leaders
have been summoned to Berlin to dis
cuss political questions, advices re-
ceived in Amsterdam are to the eff
feet that Chancellor Won Hertling, fol-
lowing the example of Minister of the
Interior Walraff, refused to see a
strikers delegation.
In Berlin there has been a fatal
clash between the strikers and the
police and minor disturbances are re-
ported to have occurred in other sec
tions, as well as in the suburbs, of
the capital. The Berlin press says
the movement in Berlin has reached
a climax and that 1t is losing its ef-
fectiveness.
Reports received at Amsterdam
from other Industrial sections say
that the strike is not getting full sup
port. More than 100000 workers have
been reported on strike in Berlin.
There are reports of a new strike in
the Dortmund mining district and in
Dantzig and Munich, while It is said
that the strikers In Neuremberg, Bav-
aria, have returned to their tasks.

APPEAL MADE
TO Typists and Stenographers to As.
slst In Food Conservation Work.

The State Food Conservation Head
quarters has sent to Mason county
two orders that require an equipped
office and office force to carry out.
There Is not one cent OF approprla-
tion for this Food Conservation work.
1t Is all voluntary service.
There Is great need of the assist
ance of stenographers and typists-es-
pecially typists.
In registering Monday for volun-
tary service, 1t is hoped some steno-
graphers and typists will register for
an hour or two day until these Or
ders from State Headquarters are
carried out.
1t was emphasized at the recent
Louisville war meeting that in the
present crisis Food Conservation
takes precedence of every other war
service-since men must eat to live
as well as to fight.
Germany four-ffths feeds herself
Our allies even in normal times only
one-fifth feed themselves. They look
to as for food or they must go un-
der and leave us to fight it out alone
or make an ignoble peace.
Come help where your help is most
needed. Make it known to the Chair
man of Food Conservation If you are
willing to help with this work. Here
is a chance to do your bit to win the
war and help keep up Mason county's
record for excellence in war service.

PLAYED THE SECOND VIOLIN
Lesson Drawn From Incident In Life
Of Student Which Showed Dlsre-
card OF Personal Ambition.

In a recent issue of the Record Of
Christian Work there is brief memo
rial of a splendid young life that car
ries so great q message that II may
Wen be sent on TO other lives. old and
young alike, says the Youths Compan-
ion.
He was a student at Mount Herman,
strong, gifted and popular. His death
he was drowned while skating-was
shock and a grief TO the whole
school. On the day when his funeral
was held M his own home. memorial
service was also held at the school. lie
had been prominent In athletics, but the
student who spoke of that part of his
life had bigger thing TO tell than the
record of his prowess: he spoke of his
unfailing Christian courtesy.
He was never heard" he said ITO
kick against the umplre's decision"
Another told Of his willingness, eour-
tesy and pluck in doing the humblest
duties-a combination OF qualities
worthy Of consideration. Many persons
do humble tasks, but how many bring
to such tasks all the courtesy, the
study, the enthusiasm, that they would
bring to larger duties? II was that
same spirit of enthusiastic service and
utter disregard of personal ambition
that shone In the incident that made
the deepest impression of all. 1t was
told by the leader of the school orclfes-
ira, one OF the teachers in the music
department. The student whose mem
DRY they were IGNORING was good
musician. one of the first yiolins in
1 the orchestra. Not long before his
death he had suggested that the work
of the orchestra would be greatly i'm
proved by an increase In the number
( of second violins. AS everyone knows
the second vlollns merely furnish o
background for the first violins--there
is very little opportunity there for star
work. Yet this boy, planning for the
thing that should mean the greatest
efficiency for the orchestra and the
greatest service TO the school, made
his suggestion to the leader, and al
the same time proposed that he him
self should play second violin instead
of first.
The brief, young life, so soon ended
here, had learned the secret of grea
living. He could leave no greater heri
tage to his school, or to young live
everywhere; not self, but service, ant
a service that demanded, even In IT
humblest tasks, all the best Of body
mind and soul thar he had to give.

WILL SPLIT BIGGEST ROCKS
Seemingly Nothing in Nature Is Able
to Withstand Expansive Force OF
Trees Roots.

This might very well be considered
a nature puzzle. Why should any sem
slble tree apparently select dry rock
for a home when there Is plenty OF
good soIl all about in which to grow?
AS a matter Of fact there is so little
rainfall where one tree grows, In New
Mexico, that 1t is something of won.
der to an eastern traveller how any
tree, even with It's roots spreading
through the soil In every direction, can
stand the long drought of months dur
alton. When a cedar tree, however, Is
seen to be growing out of crack In
n rock In an almost desert region the
matter becomes a verltable mystery.
Even under such adverse conditions,
trees will split the hardest Of rock. No
rock can Withstand the expansive
force Of growing tree. Sometimes
the rock is cracked OFF In pieces gradu-
ally, but oftentlmes a big rock is split
fairly in two, the tree roots relentless
" forcing their way downward. Time
is no consideration to the tree and
every spring 1t returns toNthe attack,
as the new sap lnviaorates It's roots
and trunk, never giving fraction or
an inch Of what 1t has once gained.
The fght'fs a SLOW but entirely one
sided affair.

FARM BY-PRuDUcTS or VALUE

products of the farm which sold for
$3.50 cash. says the st. Louis Repub-

truck.
Time was when the average farmer
would not have fooled with any OF
these products except wool, consider

But the world is calling for the prod
ucts and by-products of the American
farm as never before. The farmer who
neglects the call and allows things to
go to waste for which there is an ac-
tive cash demand is the one who will
still have a mortgage on his place In
stead Of tractor and an automobile.
