In France 700 cars out of 1000

In Italy $50 cars out of 1000 were
Fords.
In Egypt e9e cars. out of 1000

In Meso., 900 cars out of 1000

Under British capture, the first
car in Bagdad was Ford.
The first car to cross the Persian
Mountains was a Ford
The first car in the GENUINE
Garden of Eden was Ford.
The first car in the Holyland was
a. Ford.
Lines of communication contained
tords by the hundreds from Bagdad
to the Black Sea.
| have seen the Fords used as
tanks, armored moving forts, cleo
trio light plants, water pumps, am
balances, supply cars, and lots of
other things, and they were always
ready for anything at any time.
These statements are facts as l
have served in action all through the
countries named. And I name the

Joe Dolin in his pificated, pung-.

county? inquiries the local attorneys

heart, Mr.. Ellery, do you want the
editor of the farmers paper to take

Most of the money paid over by
Roosevelt county will be covered in
to several sinking funds as the law
requires and will lay around in the
different banks for the next ten OF
fifteen years, and draw 2Hs per cent
interest for the county while. the
bankers get 10 per cent for it from
the farmers. Mr.. Ellery does not

For prize bunk it appears to, us
that the series of letters by Wilson
& CO., packers, now running in the
city press, is winner. They are
addressed to "Dear Folks" and in a
recent one the writer declares. that
he thinks about the dear folks, work
ing for the company to the extent
OF waking up at 3 o'clock in the
morning. He calculates that if each
of the $4,000 employees smile once.
an hour for eight hours a day, that
will make 100000 smiles. Smiles, of
course, are good for business. But.
if these $4,000 workers hadn't or
ganized, they would be working, TO
or more hours a day and thus could
get in at least $4,000 more smiles
ON the job. How wicked it was for
the workers to thus cut down the
snile output when they are en-
ployed by a company thoughtful to
the point, not of smiles but of
tears, for them, for the producers of
livestock, and for the consumers!
