About two thirds of the purchases up to the end of May had been sold again and very likely the turnover was not always profitable. But the public benefit IS indicated by the fact that Liberty Bond quotations have fuctuatcd only narrowly for some time past The market has been fairly steady, though all the issues arc below par

Ford auI His "I'IiyNCr."
(AIanchester Hcrald)

Manchester Ii Cral0)
 If Henry Ford had stuck 10 the manufacture of motor cars his name would have been illustrious in his tory. But, like many other men who have acquired great wealth, and the power which goes with it, he has gone into fields where his ability is less conspicuous and where his fail urcs have been so noteworthy that they will, in a measure, cloud his fame. But whatever may have been the futility of his efforts to end the war or win a place in the United States Senate, he certainly made success of his automobile business and in that achievem ent won a place not only as the leader in the motor car industry. but as a public bene- factor with few equals in the worlds history.
 We well recall seeing, some 45 years ago, at the Madison Square Garden automobile show, four cylinder Ford car to sell for $500. ]" was the sensation of that years show. T-r to that year the four cylinder car had not been manufactured 10 any extent. -lungers" and 'two- lungers' had been the prevailing types. The four-cylinder car was be- ginning to como on the market, but the price was up around S2,0OO It was hard to believe that a four cylinder car which would amount to anything could be produced to sell for $500.
 But the inventor had hit the popu- lar~need and had developed an engine

A statement hy an official Of the War Finance Corporation brings ID light the interesting fact that that Institution has been trading rather heavily in the various issues of Liberty Bonds. Up to the end Of May, last, the purchases had mount ed to S9O5, ,149,O0O par value. and $603.23&,250 worth had been sold, leaving some three hundred million dollars worth on hand.

 The trouble with Senator frande- gee is that, unlike hell, his ideas froze over a generation or two ago and have stayed solid and unchanga- able since. That is why he finds him self so out Of sorts with current thought and feeling.
 That is why the League of Nations, the hope of the great masses of the peoples of all of the civilized world, seems 10 him a "hidcous nlen- strosty." He cannot see if with >the eyes of tho majority Of the people. T. is the product of the ablest minds that the world could gather together and it has come into being as tho expression of a universal desire. Bac n Of it is the will of the common people, and by that token it will succeed. But Senator Brandayce cannot sense this. He views it as the product of a flow designing individuals and so il seems 10 him a hideOus monstrositf.
 He will not vote for it until hell freezes over. It appears that the, league has as little chance with the senator as a snowfall has in hell, or as a worsted dog has in chasing an asbestos cat through hell.

of remarkable simplicity and eff cienCy. As soon as the public found that the little Ford would really run i,;id give good servlcc, the demand sfer it increased rapidly. Other man ufacturcrs of motor cars developed the four-cy cylinder car increasing it's size it's power. and installing it in heavier and more elegant bodies But the little Ford came out year after year with few changes and without the addition of the needless luXuries which charactcrized it's rivals. For years it was ridiculed, but it kept plugging along doing it's daily work and giving full value for every dollar it cost

Their sturdness. their economy and their utility compel recognition even from those who once laughed at them. Not only the thousands who could not afford higher priced car arc using the Ford. It is getting to be the practice Of many business and professional men to tic up to the Ford for their per sona use in short runs around home. It no longer makes a man feel cheap to be seen in one O these humb ble cars for he is satisfied that he is using common sense in getting goO1 service at tho min imum cost
 Henry Ford has done far more to make the automobile useful and popular than any other individual and he has conferred upon the world one of it's greatest blessings.

solicitude for the welfare of the United States in thus advocating that his country become allied with ours. We put it far fronLl1is lea that Ger many is to be benefited. The true German newer did decide 10 align himself with any country for his own good. Oh, no. The Teuton has been accustomed to raising others from the slough of illiteracy and lack of culture to his own high plane. At least, that is what he would have Us believe.
 Non Bernstorff-he of the traitor- ous pre-War Germany, whose actions were as instrumental in driving the United States into war as those of tho kaiser and von Tirpitz-has seen the light. He has executed a mental and moral right-abOut and wishes to lick the hand of his erstwhile benefactor like an erring puppy returning to it's owner. That is he wishes to deludee the United States into the impression that he has. However,. we believe deaf ears. The cajolery of German diplomacy has lost much of it's sooth- ing effect. Won Bernstorff will be heard with greater skepticism than any of the others Too much is known of him. We do not wish to play with fire again. The child, once reason to fear the Count or any of his ilk, but we have no desire to hear'I his words The sugar coating on the pill is too thin.
 The diplomat of the present states that Germany has much to gain in sticking With the United States. We i are inclined to agree with him there. But we do not want the Huns pre- tense of friendship for that reason. We do not intend that he shall gain too much and we are willing to grant him what he deserves-irrespecti oe von Bernstorff and his honeyed words. The speaker might better have advised Germany to play the game and play it with the whole world than to stick with us. There would have been greater ring Of sincerity to his words.
 It is possible that von ernstorff, in thus clim bing into the' limelight. is grooming himself for a resumption of his duties as Ambassa dor to the United States. He is trying to inn press upon us that he will be willing to act with prorriety as a representa- tive of the new German government. The fact that past offenses are not easily forgotten seems to be generally 1 ignored by the German. His whole 1 policy during the war and since has been along this line. The appoint ] ment of Von Bernstorff to his old post | would be the final act in a blunderinc career of misgovernment and per- verted psychological deduction on the l part of Germany He would not be | welcome here. It is time that a new 1 and hitherto unknown diplomat he 1 sent to us. The old order is too we'll 1 known.
