Fords Of Every Description
 Storm Mesa At Celebration; ]; Long Parade Opening Feature

MESA, Dec. 1.-The old and the new flivvers, the quiet and the noisy ones, the shiny and the dirty ones, the ones with the biggest families the newest newly wedded couple and the oldest people, flivvers from every town in the valley and the one from the most distant point from Mesa they were all there. All the FordS Henry Ford has turned out in the last 10 years seemed to be in Mesa Sat urday on the occasion of the city's first annual Ford day, and the days program on which business men and livewire citizens of Mesa have been working for the last month went off almost to perfection. There was com-
 edy galore for the fun loving and there were thrills for those who wanted real kick out of the days attractions.
 With the opening of the registra- tion booth at Main and Macdonald streets at o'clock Saturday morn ing. Fords began to pour into town and it seemed to rain Fords all the rest of the day. The registration
 booth swerved from it's original pol
 icy of registering every Ford that came in to taking the names of only those who could compete for a prize,
 with a result that there was no check
 on the number of cars that visited
 Mesa for the day. Parking spaces
 on the principal streets were at a
 premium the entire day, however,
 with the city showing more life and pep than it has since the King Cotton carnival of 1920.
 Aside from the Ford events there were innumerable attractions for the visitors to help them pass a happy day. The American legion had an Al attraction that kept three legion naires and scores of onlookers busy all afternoon and evening. The Chris tion bazaar was literally patronized

 CHICAGO BOARD
 CHICAGO. Dec. 17.-Trade in grain was light here today. Wheat fin ished + c lower to 1zc higher: corn was 1sto 14c lower; oats 1s to A c higher and provisions unchanged to 10c higher.
 Wheat started easy and after an initial furry turned heavy, sagging slowly until half an hour before the close, when a sharp break was re- corded. In the final 30 minutes even ing up and some buying influenced by export news caused reaction Tn which losses were generally regained.
 The. trade was indifferent to news that 2.25O,000 bushels of wheat had been worked for export in two days and the Northwestern Grain Deal CTS association's report at Winnipeg on Canadian production and reserves was also ignored. It was pointed out, however, that the grain dealers had based their figures on the old acre. agea. whereas government figures showed some 4,500,0O0 acres excess and it was argued that this made the two reports about equal.
 Sharp shooters in the pits have developed a favorite spread of selling May against purchases of July wheat. AS a consequence the latter option has been strengthening.
 Heavy rains helped to hold corn firm. Towards the end. however, the break in wheat coupled with the fact exports bids were below a working basis, turned that grain heavy. Oats were dull and merely followed corn.
 Provisions fluctuated within nar- row limits

which we are permitted to quote as
follows: I'VE are never without a
bottle in our home and we have used
il with best results for sore throat,
as gargle in diphtheria and tonsil-
tits and for acute pain as an attack
of neuralgia, earaehe, or rheumatism,
