Buy Genuine
Ford Repairs

The repairs made by the Ford
Motor Company are of the same high
grade material as those put in the
original car. They fit much nicer,
hence the cost of installation is gener-
ally less; they wear much longer,
hence your car will last longer by
their use.
There are many concerns selling
repairs for Fords, but only the
Authorized Ford Dealers sell the
genuine Ford parts made by The Ford
Motor Company.
AS our sole business is selling the
Ford car, the success of it depends
upon the satisfactory wear our cars
give, hence we are equally interested
with you in getting repairs that give
the greatest service.
We carry nothing but genuine Ford
parts and have competent mechanic
to install them; we do not solicit nor
expect all of the Ford repair business,
but we do say that unless you can be
sure that your machanic installs
genuine Ford parts purchased from
us or some other Authorized Ford
Dealer, that you should bring your
car here for future service.

The calling party should give the cor

LITTLE LESSONS IN FINANCE

Thousands of Americans exper-
fenced their first lesson in finance
when they made their initial pur-
chases of Liberty Bonds. To most of
them bond was a mystery, some
thing sinister that smacked of fren-
zied finance and the seats of Mann
mon. Something of which they were
doubtful and not little afraid. To
them, ordinarily, the last thing on
earth in which they would think of
investing.
But at close range it lost this for
bidding aspect. 1t was pleasing to
the eye, yellow-backed and crinkly
as a new ten spot, curlicued and
frescoed with all the embellishments
of the engraver's art, and above all
it bore the Endorsement of the nation.
Mostly those who bought one or
the earlier issues bought another
later on. SO the education of the
masses began. But it didn't end
there.
Soon came along the sharper with
his plausible stories or greater re-
turns from industrial investment,
from the development of natural re-
sources, from the making of war mu-
nitions and the thousand and one
things necessary in time like these.
And he traded them gaily colored
and equally highly Illuminated certif-
icates of stock in wildcat companies

and fly-by-night ventures in ex-
change for their Liberty Bonds. And
right speedily these certificates
proved to be worthless and the pro-
moters vanished into thin air. And
this was the end of the second
lesson.
Now the Liberty Bond investor is
taking his third degree. He is learn
ing to hold on to his Liberty Bond
like hound pup to a hot batter
cake. He is finding out that nothing
on earth is a better investment, a
safer buy, more certain interest
producer than a Liberty Bond
Uncle Sans promise to pay.
And when he has learned this les
son letter perfect, and abides by IT.,
he will be doing Uncle Sam a service
second only to his original act of
purchase. For the longer one holds
to his bond the better it will become,
the less liable it will be to sell at a
discount in the marts of Mammon,
the greater will be its value.
And all these are lessons which
liberty Bond buyers will do well to
ponder.

Dear Sister:
Received your letter some time ago
and was glad to hear from you all,

what a time did have. ! introduced
myself to a lady and asked her for
her company home. She said it was

much farther it was; she said about
three miles. It was sure some walk

nice time. She said she was coming
back again Saturday night; wanted
me to come back to church, but don't

about the army being hard life is
all bosh. But still, any man with a

would come back and try to pitch
again himself.

GIANTS SUFFER BIG
NtTS THIS SEASON
Injury to Ferd Schupp's Pitching
Arm Proves Hard Blow.
Considered More Serious Than Illness
Of Larry Doyle, Niehoff's Broken
leg and Drafting Of Kauff
and Barnes.

One of the most disappointing
strokes of tough luck that has fallen
to the lot of the Giants this year is
the injury to Schupp's pitching arm.
The Giants have suffered several
hard kicks in vital spots, such as the
illness of Larry DOYLE, Niehoff's brok-
Ell leg and the drafting of Benny Kauff
and Jess Barnes.
But With all these breaks the men
o. NcGraw might still be optimistic
If Schupp We're only in shape to pitch
as he pitched during the 1917 cam
paign.
Chased as one of the most brilliant
young left-handerS in either major
league at the close Of the 1917 season,
Schupp seemed destined for bright
career N the National league. But
early this spring while the Giants were
at Marlin on their training trip. the
young fork-handcr hurt his left Shoul-
der while tipping some fast shoots
across the pan during practice ses-
sion, and since then he has not been
able TO take his turn in the box.
Figuring that Schupp has had more
than two months of real baseball
weather, coupled with the advice of
no less q parsonage than Bonesetter
Reese to help him whip his wing back

sues the following war geography bull
letin on MOntdidier, a few miles east

"ThiS little town, whose history
dates back to the first millennium of
the Christian era, had a population
of less than 5000 at the beginning OF
the war, but it was rich in historic
associations. 1t Is said to have de-
rived its name from the fact that
Didier> or Desiderius. the last of the
Lombard kings, was imprisoned here
in ia by Charlemagne. 1t will be re-
membered that Charlemagne, having
put aside his first wife, DeSiderius
daughter, took up the quarrel of Pope
Adrian l with the Lombard monarch,
and after marching an army across
the Alps. captured the erstwhile ia
ther-in-law'S capital city, Ticinum.
and took the vanquished ruler back
TO France, where he died in captivity.

river Don 1t is the capital Of an ar
reimbursement in the department OF

Paris by rail, and % miles southeast
of AmienS. Its chief Industries be-
fore the war were tanneries and the
manufacture of Zinc-white.
"When the tides of war finally re-
cede if is probable that the three build
ings in which the citizens of Mont
