The Mississippi Valley associa-
taon IN outlining the immediate
needs Of the Mississippi valley ter
rttory has embodied three salient
features Of development that 1t
4 hopes to accomplish with the aid Of
/ the new administration. A letter
u this effect has been presented to
President Harding, with the urgent
Z request that the hopes and en-
deayors Of the valley citizenry be
given careful and considerate at
fention, to the ultimate end that
his sympathy and cooperation may
be had in obtaining these objec-
tives, which are as follows:
The completion of the dem0nstra-
.fion Of practical economy Of inland
waterway transportation through
the operation Of the mississippi
Warrior barge lines, initiated by
the people of the valley and put
into operation by the federal gov
ernmvnt: and the development Of
an adequate inland waterway sys-
tenn OF transportation through the
completion of the principle chan
mel projects.
The continued development by
the United States shipping board,
under section Z of the merchant
marine act, 1920. of overseas trade
, routes from uncongested southern
ports, thus enabling shippers from
the middle west to utilize any port
through which they may move
products with the greatest economy
and efficiency.
The continuation OF the justified
export rail rates from the central
western states to southern ports on
parity with the rates to north
Atlantic ports, as developed by the
United States railroad administra-
ton.
Special stress is to be laid on
these three delevopment needs at
the coming convention, and plans
to make them reality will be the
paramount issue in the adoption of
the program OF future activities to
be pursued by the association, i'm
mediately following the convention.

near Cascade on the Missouri river

Bob Chestnut, after whom the valley
was named, was a white mar but al

puncher was full of pep and the devil

He had the saloons in Cascade pro-

This is the third price cut during the past
twelve months. On September 22, 1920, the
price OF the Ford touring car was reduced
from S575 to $40; June 7th to S415, and
now to $3.50, making total reductions in this
type OF S22O or SO per cent. The same pro-
portlonate reductions have been made in all
other types. One year ago the price of the
Ford Sedan was 1915; today it lists at $500
with the same equipment.
W are taking advantage of every known
economy in the manufacture Of our products
IN order that we may give them to the public
at the lowest possible price, and by doing that,
we feel that we are doing the one big thing
that Will help this country into more prosper
Gus times. People are interested in prices, and
are buying when prices are right.
"The production of Ford cars and trucks
for August again broke all previous high rec
ords with the total reaching 1866. This is
the fourth consecutive month in which our
output has gone over the hundred thousand
mark, the total for the four months being 463,-
074, which has gone a long way in making
possible the present reductions. June this
year, with an output of 117,247 was the pre-
vious record month.
"One noteworthy feature of our sales is
Cno increased demand Tor Ford trucks and
cars for statesmen. This class of commercial
business has been gradually increasing the
past sixty days and we interpret it as a very
good sign of improvement in general business.
mo reduction has been made in the price
of the Fordson tractor, and none is contem-
plated"
Observation-Disclosures
Go over these new prices! See how little
it costs to become the owner of a Ford car or a
Ford truck. Can you really afford to do with
out one any longer?

you regarding the delivery of the particular
