PROCLAIMS EDUCATIONAL WEEK

Kentucky is engaged in a great
campaign to wipe out illiteracy, a
campaign which is led by the teach
ers and supported by every right
thinking. patriotic citizen OF the state.
While redeeming our adult illiterates
we must also see to il that our child
rem are kept in school and thus pre-
vent lliterates from coming OF in the
future. The noble teachers who are
striving to accomplish these two inn
portant things for our state are doing
a work so constructives, so heroic
and so commendable that all must see
the justice in taking immediate steps
toward increasing the salaries OF
these teachers Better salaries are
due them and better salaries they
must have il we hold them in the
ranks and keep our schools on high
plane of efficiency.
The Kentucky Illiteracy Commits
sion and the County School Superin-
tendents of Kentucky have blended
these three paramount educational
problems and will present them for
the consideration of the whole people
of Kentucky during the week of Aug
ust $3.50. During this week state
wide Educational Campaign will be
waged and these problems will be
carried by earnest and patriotic
speakers to the people OF every county
and every school district in the state.

1000 FORD CARS
PRODUCED ADAY
35 Branch Managers of Ford
Company Held a Convention
In Detroit.

Mr.. ]. s. Keown. manager OF the
Louisville Branch of the Ford Motor
Company has just returned from the
Ford Branch Managers ConN ention
held at the factory in Detroit, where
IS Branch Managers from all the as
sembly and service branches through
out the United States and the s
branch managers of the Ford Motor
Company have been in session for the
last ten days.
The fiscal year OF the Ford Motor
Company ends July 3lst, and this
convention, preceding an anticipated
twelve months of unequalled produc-
ton and demand for Ford cars, is of
exceptional importance to the Ford
Motor Company and to the automo-
bile industry as whole since 30 Ford
assembling plants were represented
where the combined present produc-
ton is 5000 cars a day and which
have over 1900 employees.
The manufacturing effort of the
company for the first six months of
most entirely upon the output of war
materials, and it was not until March,
1919, that the production of Ford
cars and Ford parts began to assume
normal proportions. AT the present
time output is averaging about 5000
cars a day. and production for the
year ending July 81, 1919, Will be over
$4,000 cars.
The production of 5000 Ford cars
a day has necessitated the develop
ment of departments at branch as
sembly plants and the Ford dealers
organization to a point where many
of these plants are assembling for the
demands of the particular territories
they serve an output of cars greater
than the production of the average
automobile factory.
In the convention particular atten-
ton was given to the question of lhe
production efforts which are being
made to meet the demand for Ford
cars throughout the world and an
estimated output of approximately
100000 cars was announced for next
year. Futher attention was given to
that part of Ford service to Ford
owners which aims to place stocks of
Genuine Ford parts within convenient
access of Ford owners everywhere
through regular Ford dealers and gar
ages.

MANY REASONS WHY
NATIONS DESIRE
HOUSEHOLD THRIFT

Household thrift helped win the
war. 1t will fortify the peace, max
ing America powerful. its people
prosperous, and its homes happy.
Thrift is steady earning. wise spend
ing, sane saving, careful investing,
and the avoidance of all waste.
What the members of one family
produce in outside industry and in
the home adds to tn enational pro-
duct or wealth heap" of food, cloth
ing. and all desirable goods this
national wealth heap is divided a.
mong us all, and out of it every fam
lily, each one of us. gets his living
What one home wastes is taken a
way from the Nations wealth, and
makes all homes t',at much poorer
The war taught us TO practice hrift
together in food, in clothing, and in
all goods. in order 10 serve America
and save the world Our country asks
continued thrift in the home as a
guarantee that we shall remain a
prosperous, progressive, independent,
and dependable Nation.
BY thrift every household can take
its part gladly in every Government
loan; by investing in Government
securities it can safeguard its future,
and increase its income so as to full
fiji the American ideal of personal in
dependence and constant progress to-
ward better living.
Thrift is permanent service which
the household can render to the Ma
ton.

wealth less than living wage as they
have never reflected upon these
things before 1t will not only cause
the citizens of Kentucky to think and

which may be washed providing il is
not rubbed, squeezed or ironed. If it is
