FORD CARS selling

of Third Cut Within Year.

Mr. Edsel p. Ford. President OF the
Ford Motor Company. makes the fol-
lowing announcement,
I'VE have another reduction In the
prices of Ford cars and Ford truck,
which went into effect Sept. l. The
new prices average $1,000 under the
former prices, and are the lowest at
which Ford ears and trucks have ever
been sold.
This is the~ third price cut during
the past twelve months. on Septem-
Der %, 1920. the price of the Fcrd
touring car was reduced from $575 to
sac. June 7th to S4l5. and now to
1856, making total reductions in this
type Of S220, or SS percent. The same
proportionate reductions have been
made in all other types. 0:sS year ago
the price of the Ford Sedan was Ss75;
today it lists at $500 with the same
equipment.

that will help this country into more
prosperous times. People are interest
ed in prices. and are buying when
prices are right.
The production of Ford cars and
trucks for August again broke all
previous high records with the total
reaching 1896. This is the fourth
consecutive month in which our out
put has gone over the hundred thous-
and 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 117,24T. was the pre-
vious record month.
zone noteworthy feature of our sales
is the increased demand for Ford
trucks and cars for statesmen. This

gradually increasing the past sixty

sign of improvement in general bust

Of our goods, wares and merchandise,
and many of the imaginary troubles
between producer, distributor and the
consumer can be overcome. The old
truism, I'VE cannot have a perfect
government without perfect people
must be borne in mind always in bust
ness. Therefore, we must never ex-
pect to reach the ideal condition in
business until all classes become
more willing to be fair with each
other.
This spirit was touched upon right
in this very community during the
height of the strawberry season this
year. Some good was accomplished.
It was far from being an ideal situa-
ton, but 1t showed the way to bet
ter understanding. Farmers and
merchants were much alarmed about
the then pending market conditions
for Strawberries. Prices in neighbor-
ing cities and towns were down to the
bottom and the canneries were still
holding considerable of last years
pack Something evidently had to be
done Immediately. The merchants
got together and decided to cooperate
in disposing of the berries at reason
able prices SO that the public could
get the benefit of~the best berries at
the lowest price. A cooperative CAM
paign Of advertising was agreed upon
and, the whole situation was cleared
up within three days, resulting in
much benefit to the consumer, mer-
chant and farmer. The berry indus
try in this county was saved from
abandonment and, therefore, that
much was retained for our welfare In
the county as a whole. This can be

"In consideration of the proceed

"That the state superintendent in

greatly increase the efficiency of our
rural schools and place many of our
districts, now facing financial diff
culties, on more secure economical
basis. Similar campaigns will be
carried ON in other states and our
state must not be left behind. In
such campaign all educational peo-

method Of solving the question of
supervision and administration. BY
such a method rockies and dan
gerous experiment is eliminated. To
this end. therefore we suggest. that
the state superintendent ask each
county superintendent in the state to
furnish the state Office a map show
ing all possible consultations that
may be worked out in his county.
| That these consultations be of
considerable extent, to be determined
by roads, natural conditions and
makeup of the people and all the
favorable and necessary corsidera-
lions that should enter into the es-
adjustment of such districts.
That such map be accompanied by
detailed program for carrying on
the campaign throughout the county
showing plans for bringing the neces-
sary information to the people, for
petitions, meetings, elections, pub
licity for anything that may be help
full in carrying on the campaign.
In effect, that AN these campaigns
be thoroughly and carefully planned
and after county superintendent
have conferred with their people and
consulted with the state Office, then
that they be carried on with vigor
and discretion"
The committee is composed of F.
S. Thompson, chairman, superintend-
ent of the Lewis county consolidated
school district No. PA; Mrs. Jennie
M. Robin, county superi ltendent of
Whatcom county; Alexander Stra-
chan county superintendent of Gar

institutions and their customers, the
public. The bankers realize that true
cooperation stimulates business in
general and the bank quite naturally
comes in for it's share of the general
prosperity. Without a prosperous
community, no institution can be
prosperous, whether banking or 9TH
erwise. Such cooperation does not
mean that the bank shall loan it's
money to everybody regardless of Sc
curity. If it did, there soon would
be no banking institutions left to pro-
tect and engage the accumulated re-
sources of the people and its own.
In countries where banking facili-
ties are limited, trade and industry
and, consequently, education and civ
ilization, are ct a standstill. It is,
therefore. clearly to be seen how bust
ness plays an important part in our
civilization, religion and advancement.
It behooves us all to cooperate for
the general good. And let us give
full credit to all classes of labor or
service which make for the general
welfare Of the people, whether ema-
mating from capital or labor.
The progressive banker, who sees
clearly and reasons broadly and log
ically, realizes his responsibility to
humanity. The progressive citizen
whether laborer, business man, pro-
fessional man or banker-appreciates
the true meaning of cooperation.
The bank is the hub OF business.
Nearly everything, in our present
state of civilization, revolves around
money, or finance. Not because
money is in itself worth anything but
because it is the medium Of exchange
with which our mutual relations are
carried on with accuracy and accord.
The banker, therefore, has an impor-
tant place to fill, not only in the pro-
lection of the resources of his custo-
mers as we'll as his own, but also in
the general welfare and well-being Of
the community in which he,resides.
AS practical illustration of the
good accomplished by cooperative
community effort in our own imme-
date vicinity, attention might be
called to such enterprises as the
American Legion Building, the Y. NJ.
c. A., Priest Point park, Olymipan
hotel, the Elks' building and numer-
Gus others. All these ar magnificent
institutions builded and supported by
the good will of the people and for
the general good of ALL.
Nobody was forced to "give till II
hurt" nor did they suffer any undue
loss of time in putting over the nee
essary drives and subscribing to the
needed funds. That is. generally
speaking. There are those who took
the leadership in these drives, Of
course, and they should be long re-
membered for their good work. These
leaders could undoubtedly tell you
that the main thing necessary in such
work is the right spirit, the spirit of
mutual helpfulness. There remains
considerable of such work yet to be
done, not only in building enterprises,
but in constructing good, permanent
roads out to our neighboring towns,
like Yelm, Grand Mound, Rochester,
and other small places. The condi-'
ton of the Yelm and other roads in
this county is deplorable.
This same spirit of true co-opera-
tion can be carried into the marketing
