PRAISE FOR SYSTEM.

IN winch our
system has responded to the needs or
American business in the trying year
just ended is a cause for gratification
Banking credit was expanded to meet
the needs as they developed.
Formerly such sweeping industrial
changes as were witnessed in 1920
eliminated in acute financial dis
turbances followed by prolonged bus
mess depression. In this instance, the
banks, largely due TO elasticity OF
credit provided by the Federal
Reserve System and to their foresight
in accommodating ample reserves. have
maintained their essential strength
and capacity for service.
"By the combination of clear think
ing, hard working, and courageous
acting. ! believe that greater rewards
will come to this nation, and that, in
response to the combined call OF duty
and opportunity. service ana pront,
which the situation offers. there VIII
follow constantly expanding powers
Of service which should mark the
goal OF every progressive people.
DEPRESSION GENERAL.
"The first thing to understand about
this depression said George T..
Roberts. vice president of the Ma
tional City Bank, sis that 1t is not
cOnnneu TO the IHllcu VI w
the products of this country. 1t is
world wide. and is an effect of dis
ruption OF industry and trade by the
war. We have a country of wonder
full resources and are in better posi-
ton to stand it than most other
countries.
"Other people cannot buy of us until
they are producing goods they can
trade to us. And just as the world
is inter-dependent in trade, so are we
ct home inter-dependcnt in our vari-
Gus occupations. The farmer has been
hard hit by the decline of prices of
his products and his loss of purchas-
ing power affects ~ the industries.
The department of agriculture esti-
mGated the value of our farm products
Tor 1919 at nearly $4,000, 600, 600
about a third of all the wealth that
was produced in this country that
year. The value of 1920 farm products
Prrobably was less by one.fourth or
one-third.
MUST BALANCE INDUSTRY.
Industry, like world trade. cannot
prosper unless it is in balance. The
various classes of producers must re-
ceive compensation upon approx
mately a stable and uniform basis, or
there cannot be a free circulation ard
IeXchange of products. If farm
products are to stay down, wages and
prices in the other industries will have
to come down also, or there will be
a great amount of unemployment.
1.-The industries cannot run full time
unless the goods can be sold. There
fore, employers, wage earners, and
merchants should cooperate to reduce
the prices of other goods to CORE
ppond with the fall in farm products.
|1r all wages and prices come down
together, nobody will be worse off.
This is the secret of getting industry
started again.

THE CIGARETTE IN HISTORY.

Although many efforts have been
made to show that the use of tobacco
was known to the ancient Greeks and
Egyptians, they have never been sue
cessful We can accept therefore that
general belief that tobacco was first
used by the aborigineS and that Co
chronicle its use. The Indians used
the weed in u pipe and when the mar
cotic was introduced throughout Eu-
rope and Asia, ii was for centuries
used either in pipes of fantastic de
sign or in the rolls known as cigars.
The Venetians are credited with get
ting the Turks to use tobacco. for the
weed was cultivated in Italy. Bales OF
the seed OF the nicotine plant found
their way into Turkey and soon the
Turkish tobacco industry was estab-
lished
This brings us to Mehemet Ali I'M
derpaid worker in the tobacco fields
of Kavalla. afterward leader of the
Turkish armies, who left the hoe for
the sword and the sceptre and-the eli

Mehemet eventually became pasha.
His son. Ibrahim, was sent To the siege

FORD MAKES FORTY
By LOSING TWENTY

Henry Ford has found way to
strike Il profitable balance. His recent
line is shown to have entailed him a
loss of $50 net on each machine that
the Ford Motor Co. is now producing
but his service department production
Is based on a requirement of $40 for
replacement parts from each Ford ear
now running. Futher, there has been
and will be no reduction in the price
of replacement parts. Thus i'll stimu-
ating the loss on first sales, he en-
largeS the market for later profits
These facts were made plain in state
ments by Ford executives before a
gathering of Ford dealers from the
Carolinas and Virginia. gathered last
week at Charlotte. n. c., and indica-
tive of methods by which the Ford
company is acquainting its trade of
the impetus to business which the
recent pricecut was destined to furnish.
That each car now being turned out
is sold at a loss of $40 to the Ford
company was proclaimed by w a.
Ryan, who, as manager of sales for
the company, naturally was one of the
leading speakers on the program. The
company is now producing 1000 cars
daily, said Ryan, leaving it to his
auditors to figure ont that this means
Il loss of $4,000 daily. Much of his
message concerned some exceedingly
timely advice to dealers about the
value of being careful in the way that
they handle used cars. particularly
since the slump i'll used car values that
has been induced by lower prices on
some new ears.
But ii WAS from f. 2. Hobart. ser
vice manager of the Ford organization
that the trade learned OF the silver
lining to the Ford cloud. Hobart told
his audience that Ford is making $165,-
100000 worth Of parts every year for
distribution through that end of bust
hess. This. he said. was based on an
average figure of $40 per car. thereby
establishing the rate at which it is
figured Ford cars are expected to wear
out every year. Incidentally, some of
the more statistical in the trade lost
little time in figuring from hte amounts
given that 4.125,000 Ford cars now in
commission must be the basis for the
reckoning.
There will be no reduction in the
price of parts, Hobart said. Increased
freight rates and increased costs of
production make this impossible. unless
as in the case of the complete vehicle,
Ford is prepared to stand a definite
ratio of loss on each part. BY produc-
ing its replacement parts in the regu
lar line of manufacture. Hobart re-
minded the dealers, the company al
ready is able to keep its costs low. and
they get the benefit Of this. The present
lowered price on the Ford car, even
with its attentant loss, Hobart explain
ed, was decided as preferable to the
greater loss that would have followed
curtailed rate of production.
OF the new car. concerning which
the trade has heard but vaguely,
Hobart added little of information be-
yond the limits of trade surmise. The
new car will not he offered, Hobart
exclaimed. until space be found for its
production.
