FORD IS NOT
CONTEMPLATING A
NEW LIGHT CAR
COMPANY SETS AT REST RE-
PORTS TO EFFECT THAT FA-'
NOUS FLIVVER SUSPENDS.

Wise & Cobb, the Ford agents in
this city and district have recently
received the following letter from the
Ford Motor Co., which was sent out
for the purpose of setting at rest all
rumors to the effect that the Fords
would remove from the old company
and start new company which would
place another car in the market that
would supercede the famous Ford, at
a price which would be unbelieveably
cheap.
TO All Ford Dealers: On account
of recent newspaper articles and the
many rumors circulating over the
country. concerning proposed new
car to be manufactured by Henry
Ford, we believe it advisable to in
form our dealers generally, in order
that you may intelligently and uni
formly answer all inquiries.
In the first place, large majority
of the reports afloat are greatly dis
torted and exaggerated. A new car
may be manufactured but as to when
it will be manufactured we are not in
position to say, except that we do
know a new car could not possibly be
designed, tested out, manufactured
anu hidihclSu III pudHIlIitS uilueT Two
or three years time.
There is nothing, however, indefin-
/ ite about the present Ford car. There
are over three million in daily use at
the present time; and every one of
our dealers, through their continued
enthusiastic efforts, can dispose of cur
product as rapidly as manufactured
We intend to continue the production
of the reliable Model T as aggressive
ly as in the past, and feel that we
have the cooperation of our entire
sales organization in forcibly impress
ing upon prospective buyers the ex.
ceptional high quality and dependa.
bility of the present Ford car, backed
up by the entire strength of an or.
ganizaticn already established.
Our factory and assembly plant
| production is being pushed to the lin.
it, with the thought in mind of reach.
ing our normal capacity of 5000 cars
per day as quickly as possible, in or.
der that the demands of prospective
buyers might be met to the fullest
possible extent.
We are also taking important steps
to expand and extend our business
abroad, especially in European coun.
tries including Russia.
Yours very truly.
Ford Motor Company,
Edsel B. Ford, President

practica4yeVery place in The State
gave a record majority against it. De-
troit gave a heavy vote for it but
other parts of the state went just the
other way.
This city gave a majority in favor
Of the dry regime of 817. The vote
in the First ward was "a for and 285
against. In the Second ward 79 for
and 356 against. In the Third ward
128 for and ATT against. The meas
ure is perhaps killed forever. Even
had it passed it would have been short
lived as this state would have had to
have gone dry at the time the nation
goes that way next year.
The ladies turned out good in the
voting and they were in evidence at
the polls explaining matters all day
throughout the day in tagging vet
throughout thed ay in tagging vot-
ers as they left the booths.
Owing to the enfranchisement of
the women, the vote Of 1490 ballots
was the largest number ever cast in
the history of the city.

I've just get to love you more and
more
Because we're getting old
| thought | loved you much before
But as the years unfold
Still sweeter grow your charm and
grace
More winsome too the smile
Which lovingly illumes your face
And does my own beguile.
What comfortment you bring to me
What happiness and cheer,
My very wants do you foresee
Almost ere they appear.
How constant does your mother
care
With blessings crown the hearth
Betraying to a queen who's there
More royal ne'er on earth.
Although the future years may be
Unknown nor understood
The suns each day reveal to me
A mothers motherhood.

Musical Company Pleases.

Probably the best musical COM
pany that has been in Milbank for
some time drew a very sr all
crowd because of the N. D. blizzard
which was raging thruout the
country. The $50 who were there
have considered themselves very
we'll repaid for the effort it re, uir-
ed as they had an opportuni:, to
hear a class of music that is cite
without equal.
Miss Brewer. as q violin artis.. is
in a class by herself. Her music
comes from her soul itself ar1 her
technique is perfect. She adapts
herself to ragtime equally as well as
classical music and compelled the
audience to applaud from sheer
recognition of ability. But her
performance on the slide trombone
as ragtime artist was unsurpass-
able and not to be initiated by any,
one. She delighted the audience
and was forced to lead the company
in encore after encore in which she
featured as the tr rombone accompan-
ist. The readings, cornet solos and
songs were all very good and added
to the program.
