Good Will Given a New impetus

A statement of Dodge Brothers
war activities is due the owners
of their cars.
Dodge Brothers refrained,. dur
ing the progress of the war, from
any reference to the perform
ance of the car in government
service.
1t seems proper now, however,
to disclose the facts, because
they are creditable facts-in-
tensifying that good will which
owners, of Dodge Brother cars
have always manifested.
Dodge Brothers car was the only
one of its class approved and
adopted by the war department.
In a separate Ordnance Works,
built especially for the purpose,
costing millions of dollars and
employing thousands of their
skilled motor Workmen, Dodge
Brothers undertook an import
ant duty designated by the War
Department.
Without the aid of their great
motor organization, Dodge Bro
theirs could not have fulfilled the
heavy obligation which they
were asked to assume by the Ord
nance Department.
The other service required OF
Dodge Brothers motor works, by
the Government, was to con-

tinue to furnish their cars as
they were needed.
They were furnished, not In
hundreds, but in thousands
both for the training camps here,
and for the service in Belgium,
France and Italy.
Hhe record of those thousands of
camp and army cars is one in
which any owner may feel the
utmost pride and satisfaction.
Their performance justified the
compliment implied in their Sc
lection by the Government.
The great works in which near
ly three hundred thousand of
their cars have been produced in
the past four years furnished a
vast store-house of human en-
ergy and equipment for the ord
nance work.
Naturally, it will take time to
adjust the motor works to its
full accustomed activity.
Gradually Dodge Brothers will
resume the grateful task of con-
tinuing to deserve the good will
of America---and indeed of the
whole world.
Dodge Brothers consider good
will their most valuable posses
sion.
They will never knowingly do
anything to lessen it.

Mr.. and Mrs. l.. Fl. Rushbrook OF
Detroit. spent part Of the week with
Mr.. and Mrs. M. G. Dave.
Suit was started In chancery. Tues
day, by FL Edward Deuel. of Mt Pleas
ant. to have interpreted some of the
clauses In the will of the late Red.
mond d Smith, of which be is the
executor. The suit is also to determine
the rights OF the widow of the decease
who has elected to take her share of the
estate rather than abide by the terms
of the will.
Raymond G. Post, aged 81 years.
passed away Monday, at the home of
his parents, Mr.. ana Mrs Frank G.
Post. Cedar street, after q long illness
with tuberculosis. The funeral was
held from the Jennings chapel Wednes-

They tried the same trick or sought
the same end during the Lenrott-
Davis campaign in Wisconsin. One
does not hear of any non-partisan
propositions in the southern states
or in any territory where there are as
many more Democrats than Republi-
cans as there are more Republicans
in Michigan. 1t may seem clever to
some but it looks to me grotesquely
idiotic.
(14) There are always class of
people who toady to the nouveau richie
and the Democratic officials of Mich
igan seem to have joined that group.
Mr.. Ford would not be worth fifty
million dollars if he had sold his car,
which is almost a necessity, for
reasonable profit. He has made those
least able to do so pay him huge
usurious toll for supplying their de-
mands.
(15)Finally would rather do what
l can to expose such men as Mr.. Ford
in order to reduce as much as possible
their danger to the state, and be de-
feated, than to preserve a cowardly
silence and win an election.

Lemons Whiten and
Beautify the Skin!
Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two fresh lemons strain
ed into bottle containing three ounces
Of orchard white makes q whole quar-
ter pint of the most remarkable lemon
skin beautifier at about the cost one
must pay for small jar of the ordi-
nary cold creams. Care should be TAX
en- to strain the lemon juice through a
fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that lem
on juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it Make up a quarter pint
Of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage 1t daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands. It should natur-
ally help to whiten, soften, freshen and
bring out the hidden roses and beauty
Of any skin. It is wonderful for rough,
red hands.
Your druggist will sell three ounces
Of orchard white at little cost, and any
grocer will supply the lemons. ADV.
