really wonderful. Every part of his

than that. it was uplifting. There
was not a break in the performance.

e4.2se FORD CARS WERE
TURNED OUT IN MARCH

New daily and monthly records es
tablished by the Ford Motor company
have been established
March broke all production records
ever made by the Ford Motor com.
pany. Detroit. both for the number
of cars produced in one day and one
month. March 27th. 4.256 cars left
the assembly lines at the home plant
and branches. while the record for
the month was 94.29e cars. These fig
ures represent production in the Unit.
ed States only. and do not take into
consideration the Canadian. or foreign
plants.
Here's an illustration of the amount
of railroad cars its would take to
ship this vast swarm of FordS: Load.
ed six in freight car with fifty
freight cars to each train, it would
take 314 trains to carry them, and
start parade.
Notwithstanding the fact that pro
duction in April dropped to less than
fifty per cent of normal. because of
the strike. Ford officials say that for
the fiscal year. which ends July 3lst
they will have attained the million
mark of production.
During the strike, material was
brought in by trucks. boats. electric
freight and every other possible way.
but it served mainly to keep Ford men
at work. rather than to maintain any
semblarce of the regular output. As
sembled cars were shipped by water.
where possible. but most of them were
driven from Detroit to their destina-
ton. Many Ford trucks. loaded each
with Fordson tractor. started from
Dearborn for Eastern. Southern and
mid-Western points.

GLOBE TRoTTERs NEARING
END OF THEIR JOURNEY

A letter. received from J. e. Moore.
by his brother, C. B. Moore, contains
the following interesting information:
Decatur. ILL.,. Sunday Morning. May 20.
Dear Brother:
1 will wrote a few lines and say
that after many trials we have landed
in Decatur by rail. Last Thursday
morning at Brookfield. Missouri,
found another poor, God-forsaken wan
derer. He was from Lincoln, Nebras-
ka, going to New York City. He is a
man, on the Nebraska State Journal
at Lincoln. so We decided to go to-
gether from there on. so we made
about thirty miles on Thursday. Fri
day, after working hard, we succeeded
in making ten miles and landed in Ma
con, Missouri. We were all web-foot-
ed and beginning to get scales on our
bodies like a sucker. so we decided to
ship our cars out of the mud. so we
put in together and eased out to De-
catur, Illinois The cars got here last
night and We are informed we still
have 100 miles of bad roads ahead of
us. so we have diverted them on to
Danville, Illinois, just at the Indiana
state line. We will have solid roads
from there on. All the rivers and
creeks in this part of Illinois are out
'of their banks and all over the low
lands and no possible chance to get
through. If our cars get through to
Danville tonight We will unload and
get started again some time Monday.
1t won't take long to get through
then.
We We're being pulled out of one

You simply can't buck them. and it's
still raining. We will go to Danville

Why Vote for Capital Punishment?

Editor Glacier: A correspondent il
a daily paper recently presented tht
| argument in favor of restoring the
death penalty in our state by using this
Bible passage: ''Whosoever sheddett
man 8 blood, by man shall his blood be
shed. Another Bible passage de
clares. which is in the form of com.
mand, Thou shalt not kill"
Statistics have well proven, resort.
ing to this method of furnishing Grim
inals by death is not a deterrent OF
crime, and has in many instances
worked untold injury to innocent per-
son, who have been executed under
circumstantiaI evidence.
There has always been many contrib
uting agencies whereby criminals have
been produced. At the close of every
war long list of crimes have been
perpetuated and our late war possibly
has been no exception to this rule, not
withstanding the struggle lasted COM
paratively speaking a brief period.
There is class of criminals with
whom death has no terrors. This may
include suicides also. If there were
more strict preventative measures
there would not be the crimes we have
in our land today. We must admit So
ciety at large and failure enact just
provisions in our governmental rela-
tions have had share in fostering
crime.
To vote against capital punishment
at our near election shows no sickly
sentimentalty, but a Christian and
principal which over
comes any spirit of intolerance or re-
venge.

TOO MANY DRIVES

The American public is being "driv.
en-" past the point of patience. Cam.
paigns for raising funds for patriotic
purposes and for securing subscriptions
for Liberty bonds were a necessity
during war days. But unfortunately
they pointed way to every institution
and organization in need of funds, and
we have had a deluge of drives.
Every drive is meritorious. Without
merit, officials, much less the public,
would never allow them to reach the
point of actual naturalization. But
they are overdone. Then. too, the
drives always hit certain class of
people. In war days, those in charge
of campaigns were able to set individ
ual quotas, if the necessity arose, and
were able to force all contributors in.
to line. The war is over now, and only
the strictly conscientious are reached.
Many overzealous citizens have given
more literally than they could afford.
Unless drives are discontinued, the
public is going to arise and swat them.
They are getting entirely too numer-
lus.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1920-05-20

America are common throughout the
world. The Bank Of England has
raised its discount rite to z per cent.
Canada is going through a period of
| tight money. Japan is in the throes Of
financial panic, said to have been
caused by overspeculation and excessive
industrial development. Everywhere
there seems to be a shortage Of capital
and credit due to the lack of accumula-
tion during the Wasteful war period.
Under these conditions it is important
that credit be conserved for essential
uses and not absorbed in non creative
pursuits. There is an obligation upon
individuals. corporations and munici
palities to refrain from using materials
and labor and transportation except for
essential purposes. In this respect the
state of Illinois has set a good exam
pie. That state recently voted several
millions of dollars of bonds for state
highway purposes. 1t is now announced
that no highway will be constructed
this year, owing to excessive costs, car
shortage, unfavorable bond market, etc.
After setting forth these causes the
Department of Public Works adds:
"Stll another factor which the gov
ernor and department are taking into
consideration is the question whether
by driving ahead at full speed in road
work and paying the continuously in
creasing prices for labor and material,
we are not adding to this bubble of in
flation and thus tending to increase
costs all along the line. The people
are being urged to refrain from pur
chasing anything that is not absolutely
essential in order to start a movement |
in the other direction. Is it not there
fore advisable for the state to begin to |
work in harmony with that advice?"
This view of municipal responsibility |
is recommended to the attention of |
those cities and counties and states
which seem bent upon increasing their
in order to provide public
not urgently needed.

Will somebody please dig out of the
files those plans about a Mosier Day
here in Hood River in celebration Of
the opening of the new stretch of the
Highway. The graveling was com
pleted last Thursday. The celebration
should be held before the circumstance
of the elimination of the old hill road
becomes ancient history. We have a
suggestion to make to the Mosier peo-
pie. Hood River cannot have circus
because of lack of available level
ground on the lower levels. Mosier
might persuade AL G. Barnes or some
other circus magnate to pitch the
white tops over there. Then everybody
in Hood River would go over with the
children.
