GIVES ESSENTIALS FOR
BUILDING UP COMMUNITY
Suggestions Are Based on Progress
Rochester and Vicinity Are
Making.

BY and by we residents of Roch-
ester and vicinity will begin to real
ize what delightful community this
is to live in. A person who recently
settled down among us remarked a
few days ago:
This is nice place to live in and
people are so kind and lively"
A year or two ago we heard COM
ments of an entirely opposite char
acter. That was before the catch
ing community spirit got hold of us.
Now if we should lapse back again
into civic coma, we would simply
feel awful and very likely begin to
blame-the community.
But we will fight for dear life
against such catastrophe.
The recipe for community activi-
ties is very simple and we hereby
hand 1t out to anybody who may wish
to use it, without charging any fee
whatsoever for the prescription:
First, endeavor to arouse interest
for some needed community i'm
provement. Where everything is
considered perfect we admit our in
ability to give advice and we would
proceed to the next community after

Employees Stores Supply
Goods at Cost
Groceries, Meats, Medical Sup
pies. Work Clothes Sold by
Ford Motor Company.

In order that the men and women
working in it's plants may be aided
in reducing the present cost of liv-
ing, the Ford Motor company has
established three stores from when
groceries and other necessities are
sold at cost. One store is located
at the Ford Furnace where $1,000
are employed, one at the Fordson
Tractor plant where approximately
5000 work and one at the parent
plant in which $4,000 are now en-
gagged.
In the main store in the Ford fac
tory. the stock consists of line of
staple groceries, medical supplies,
workmen's clothing and meats. The
stores are organized along the cash
and-carry plan and the customers
bring their baskets to save the ex-
pense of wrapping the articles. Ex-
pense is held to minimum.
Customers enter one door, pass
along the counter. choose their ar
SiSACo, pay ioi tucm uuu lcdNS
through another door. While the
saving varies, it averages from 8
to 20 per cent. The stores were Gre
ated especially to reduce the pres
ent cost of necessities to Ford en-
ployes but no customers who are not
Ford workers have yet been turned
away.
Carload quantities of foodstuffs
are often secured at great savings,
and then special sales are held. The
first pig sale ever held in the Ford
factory resulted in sale of more
than $4,000 pounds of pork in one
day. Many workers bought halves
and quite few bought whole pigs at
a saving of about Is per cent of the
market price.
Special sales of beef, chickens, ba-
con, ham, apples and other commodi-
ties are handled in like manner.
Each Thursday during the past ten
weeks, carloads Of fresh ocean fish
have been received from the Atlantic
coast by express and sold at 10 cents
pound. From 40 to 80 thousand
pounds are disposed Of at each sale.
The Ford stores are yet in an ex-
perimental stage and to just what
point they will progress is not known
at this time. However Ford Off
Gals say that they were established
Ford workmen and that it is intend-
ed to do as much as possible to ac-
complish that purpose

Road Supervisor Election.
Saturday, January 4th, an cleo
ton for road supervisor of Road Dis
trict Four was held at Rochester.
Considering the fact that the roads
were almost impossible after the re-
cent snowfall. the participation was
very lively. Ninety-five votes were
cast. Under favorable conditions we
could have counted on twice as many.

We do not reveal a secret to the
readers of The Washington Standard
when we say that the roads at pres
ent are in very bad condition.
Neither do we accuse anybody of
being negligent. 1t is due to natural
causes. But we emphasize that it is
up to US, prodders in the mud, to do
everything in our power to get roads
that will not continually change &C.
cOrding to climatic conditions.

Shows Need Of Permanent Roads.
Not many days ago we heard re-
marks that the roads in this district
were in better condition than they
had been for years. Frost, snow and
rain have suddenly changed every
thing and the expensive repair work
at the same time the snow and the
rain, with resulting slush, are force
full arguments in favor of permanent
road improvement.

In cases expsrimented on ami

days. The germ becomes deadly In
a short while and the victim dies.
The serum as tried so far on ami

Skin Sufferers
Find Real Relief

Follow the teachings of science,
and, you will learn that the skin is
fed by the blood. and naturally,
then. the condition of your skin will
depend upon the condition of your
blood. If the blood becomes in
tested with millions of tiny disease
germs that attack the skin. then the
fiery irritation and intense itching
will remain with you until these
germs are attacked at their source
and removed from the blood.
Genuine relief. therefore. can
only be expected from treatment
that goes right to the seat of the
trouble. and strikes at its cause.
Such remedy is S. S. S., the re-
liable old blood purifier that kills
the germs of disease. and sends a
new supply of rich red blood cours-
ing through the veins.
S. S. S. has been used success
fully in some Of the worst cases Of
eczema and other skin disorders,
and it can be relied upon to cleanse
the blood thoroughly of the. germs
which cause these complaints.
). 5. S. is also a splendid tonic and
builder. and it builds up and
Ids new vigor to the whole system.
