Only the Best Wanted

It must be pretty clear by this time that the peo- pie who voted the s4OOOoOO bond issue for a sys- tenn of permanent highways do believe that a highway with loose compressed rock base will pc a permanent highway; and that they do that kind of highway We have interviewed very large number of them on this subject.
 An expression of popular opinion a subject of such deep and wide community interest was never more honestly brought Of nearly men upon whom The Republican called the views of not one of them with respect road types known to this We refrained calling upon men whose opinions the subject pub licly made known known privately to us So far expression of the community was con ,erned such men known to be either for against a oose rock base were entitled a place sym posium- But what wanted find whether there was any apathy the subject.
 We interviewed farmers rather than dwell in the because believed the former concerned possible, with the subject good -oads. than the latter. That had been indicated by he surprisingly heavy farmer in the bond cleo ion. There had been some suspicion, how well 'ounded, do not know, that politics had somehow into the situation Therefore, in collec
 of interviews avoided men who active y partisan either side. only the who for good roads for good roads sake alone.
 As result of these interviews we found only two a loose rock only who did desire to be quoted. We found man without a decided opinion. We found that the peo- pie wanted only the best roads. and generally the expression definitely in favor of cement concrete roads. There a preponderatng belief that the money available for permanent highway should be made to go far possible only in the construc-
 of first class roads, leaving the balance of the program some future arrangement for carrying it Many felt that the people had what a really good road was they would vote addi- tional bonds to complete and extend the pro- gram until should have permanent system of good roads for the whole county
 We believe opinions have gathered are fairly and accurately representative of the opinion of the whole county, of all the men and women who voted the 5000, bond issue And we believe that the disappointment would be deep if an inferior type of should be decided upon. that it would be long time before, the taxpayers would vote other bonds extension of the program.
 It has definitely settled that such high way has been proposed that is. one having loose or compressed base. is inferior highway, one which will refuse to match with fed eral aid.

DETROIT, Jan. 19.- A billion dol lar corporation, -ntranched in every country of the earth. owned absolutely by one man
 An industrial monarch.- controlled by hereditary succession-
 Thus sums mp the dream of Henry Ford, about whose plans and person. ality a wealth of rumor and legend circulate until there is probably no one figure in the industrial world who ex- cites as much interest
 As matter of fact. Henry Ford plans to declare a wage scale based on a SS, s1O and SIP minimum within a year. Not one of 55,000 employees will be paid less than sS a day. Six is the present minimum.
 Next August, if nothing intervenes, Henry Ford and his son will hold. without obligation of any sort, every penny of Ford stock. All the present and contemplated Ford industries will be owned within the Ford family. Bigger Wages, Cheaper Cars, Ford's
 Dreams
 Simultaneously with the wage in creases, the price of the Ford car will be materially reduced, in all liklihood, although there are hundreds of thou sands of thrilled orders.
 British and European manufacturers are organizing to fight desperately the Ford domination of the market over seas.
 The soviet government places large hopes on the Ford tractor to increase greatly the food output of Russia, if trade relationships with the United States can be established.
 It is to keep the Ford. policies in- tact that Henry Ford has acquired personally all of the stock of the Ford

 It was to safeguard the succession of Ford power that Henry Ford re- fused to Ie. Easel B. Ford, his only son, go to war.
 EdsePs Sons Likely to Be Richest
 of All
 And at 26, Edsel Ford is president of the Ford company. He has the details of the business at his fingers ends. He has inherited, business associates in sist, his fathers genius for organi- zation and his ability to plan things on a gigantic scale.
 Edsel Ford has two sops-Henry Ford II. and a baby a few weeks old. These children. if si1 goes well. are likely to be the richest individuals in the world two years from now. The Ford policies, which Henry Ford is determined shall not be sidetracked or overwhelmed, are actually based on this singe purpose:
 The turning back of prifitS into pro- duction, wages and reduced prices for the finished product
 Henry Ford feels that his hands have never been free. Minority stock holders have hampered him. That is why the loan, originally S75,0O0,00O, was negotiated last summer. Within One Year Loan Will Be Repaid Within one year that loan will be repaid and the Ford family will abso- 1utely dictate the destinies of an indus try whose present value hardly can be computed, but which will reach the bill lion dollar mark before many years. To obtain the widest freedom in handling his business, Henry Ford in- corporated under the laws of Delaware, which are regarded as the most lib- eral in the United States.

SOU7HEASTER DELUGES CITY WITH RAIN


 A driving rain accompanied by south east gale of high velocity held Norwich in it's grip on Tuesday and worked havoc among the light, high tension and tele- phone wires in the city. Various parts of the city were without light or power at different intervals during the day owing to falling branches which broke wires as they fell across them. The gas and eiee- Uric department had force of repair ien on the jump all day. and at no time was any section ot the city without light for long period.
 In the Thamesville section two high tension wires were blown down and for some time created considerable excite ment there. The live wires as they were blown about by the wind emitted a show CT of sparks as they came in contact with the ground. A man sent by the company owning the wires kept people away from them until they were repaired. The troll leys were delayed owing to the broken wires.
 aThe telephone company suffered more or lees through the storm, several of the circuits being put out of commission through the falling of branches across them.
