TRUCKS QUALITY
BUILT INTO IT

WHIT characterizes a good motor
truck? What is the specific thing
that commends it above the inferior
truck to the truck buyer? What be-
sides a difference in price, differenti<
ates betwee the superior truck and
the inferior? If the answer is quality
what good is quality in a motor truck.
IT'S easy enol gh to appreciate quail
ity in a passenger car. But when a
man buys a truck he isn't looking
for artistic lines, mirror like finish
or luxurious upholstery
What is the good of quality in a
motor truck? The answer is one
word-service The carefully selected
materials, the skilled conscientious
workmanship the scrupulous inspec-
ton that all go into a high grade mo-
tor truck all make for quality. And
built in quality comes out in supe-
rior service.
Quality built into the motor comes
out in power performance, in sturdy
pu ability during the first week or
mont or six months of the truck S
life, but day after day, year after
year. So quality built into the entire
truck from radiator to tail lamp,
| comes out in service, steady, depend
able, economical. long time service.
The quality truck has the stamina
to carry it through any emergency
and the durability to keep on work
ing almost Indefinitely Durability,
| possibly, is not the most important
| attribute of the superior truck, but
| it happens to be one of the most con-
/ spicuous characteristics,
The White company for instance,
has records of White trucks, records
kept and submitted by the truck
owners themselves, that have run
more than 1O0,0 miles and are still

gate of 2 trucks service. So many
trucks have passed the 100000 mile
mark that that mileage. once con-
sidered a remarkable achievement
has become a commonplace perform
ance.
in some instances motor trucks
have so far exceeded 100000 miles
and kept right on running that their
records border on the spectacular AS

FORD'S FOLKS NEVER
STRIKE

In all this terrible strike busl-
ness there is one fact that stands
out like a searchlight in a fog.
But I notice that the plute pap
erB are not saying anything
about it. So it becomes the duty
of The Fool-Killer to give this
fact to the world:
There is no strike in Henry
Ford's tin lizzie shops
There is no strike in Henry
Ford's coal mine.
There is no strike on Henry
Ford's railroad.
There must be a reason.
Can anybody guess what it is ?
1t must be because Henry
treats his workers white, and
gives them a chance to live like
human beings ought to live. He
don't try to squeeze every pos
sible penny out of them and re-
duce them to slaves and serfs.
If !. :hould be announced to-
morrow morning that Henry
Ford had bought every coal mine
and every railroad in America,
the two great strikes now in pro-
gress wouldn't last five minutes.
The strikers would just begin
to whistle and go right back to
their work so fast it would make
your head swim. They would
KNOW that they were going to
get fair treatment, without any
confounded Labor Board to VOW
VOW over it.

Two years from now election comes
The time to make another choice
To dump the present load Of buns,
And listen in to reasons voice.
But who can lead us? Who's the man
To get our decent rights restored? ?
1t seems to me that Henry can
There is no one but Henry Ford.
We've had enough of lawyer rule,
Of hot-air artists we are sick;
We want some man who amt fool,
And we would like to have him
quick.
We've had too many presidents
With heads as hollow as a gourd;
We want man with business sense;
There is no one but Henry Ford.
We've had too many "pa-tri-ots''
And durn sword-rattlers on the job;
And now we want man with lots
Of common sense to quell the mob
We want man who stands for peace
Who'll make plowshare Of the
sword;
There's one can dc it slick a grease
There is no one but Henry Ford.
So let US all unite and sing
The praises of the hivver man,
For we are certain he can bring
Good times if anybody can.
He is a great constructive power,
But one the Statesmen" have ig-
nored;
For leader in this trying hour
There is no one but Henry Ford.

INSTRUMENTATION

Once, in the long ago, there was
a great city named Babylon
The word Babylon is derived
from Babel, which means ''con~
fusion You remember the
tower of Babel and how the lang
uage of the people became con-
fused SO they could not under
stand each other.
So the name Babylon means
confusion" The Bible talks a
good deal about the great city of
Babylon, and how it was finally
destroyed. And then long after
the real city of Babylon was in
the dust, the Bible writers told
about another Babylon (confu-
sion) which was to exist in the
latter days, and which was also
to be destroyed. It is known as
mystic Babylon (Rev. 1850,
and it is not a literal city like
the first Babylon, but an ecclesl-
astical system of "confusion'-
the nominal Churchanity of the
world-the 1900 creeds and isrns
that call themselves 'Christen-
dom and fight each other like
wildcats every day in the year.
And so that is ''Mystic Bah
ylon."
In other words, confusion"
Well, folks, I have just seen
this Babylon operating in all it's
glory, and I want to tell you
about it.
On the 18th of August, 1922,
I happened to be in the town of
Wilkesboro, N. c., which is the
county seat of my home county,
and the regular August term OF
court was going on. There was
q big crowd in town as usual,
and it was a good opportunity
for the preachers" to get some.
body to listen to their rawlings.
Well, just as soon as court ad-
jou1ned for noon that day 8
bunch of Mormons took THEN
stand on one corner of the court
house lot and started up a song
After singing awhile one of the
Mor1nons began to preach.
didn't hear all of his sermon
but what I heard was on the sub.
ject of Baptism" and it was
just exactly such a sermon as
any Baptist preacher would get
off. While [ was listening to the
Mormon preacher he didn't say
a word that I could object to. Il
was just a straight clean argu.
ment for baptism by immersion
| suppose he talked about other
things before he got through
but I didn't stay to hear it all
For when the Mormon had beer
! going about thirty minutes I
heard something else start ove1
on another corner of the lo1
about thirty or forty steps away
1t was a bunch of Holiness
preachers starting up one OF
their jig tunes. I wanted tt
The fool-killer., 1922-09-01

read about where the wicked are
going to be turned into ASHES,
and then he started in to preach
a sermon On eternal torment and
a few more equally absurd
things. He didn't happen to get
started on Baptism but if he
had he would have preached the
very identical sermon that the
other two had been preaching. I
know positively that he believed
it just as they had both preach
ed it land so the harmony ought
to have been six feet deep all
over the courthouse square. But
it. wasn't The Baptist preacher
got up there and just bawled out
everything on the hill. He talk
ed ugly about the Morrnons, and
he pointed across to the Holiness
folks and called them the devils
servants. They pointed back at
him and said things that didn't
sound very affectionate.
Now just look at that picture
Just stop and think.
| There were three punches Of
alleged christians" all pretend
ing to love and serve the same
God, all claiming to preach the
same Christ; all directing peo~
pie to the same heaven; all warn
ing them to flee like scared rab-
bits from the same hell. And
yet they were there butting into
each others meetings and mani
testing the spirit of a hog that
wants to root every other hog
away from the feed-trough.
They wouldn't wait for each
other,- and they wouldn't treat
each other with even decent res
pect. Their minds and hearts
were set against each other and
filled with the most bitter hate
and jealousy.
! Now if these men had been
three rival shoe drunmners or
automobile statesmen, they would
not have butted in on each other
that way. Even in secular busi~
ness they would have had more
respect for eacn other. Business
courtesy would have mace one
wait till the other got through.
I But there is no business court
esy nor any other kind of court
esy among Babylon's preachers
I / walked around there and
listened to it all for nearly two
hours, I suppose, and this
thought came to my mind: IF
the God of heaven is looking
down upon the courthouse
square at Wilkesboro today, I
wonder what He thinks? Is it
possible that God could accept
ANY Of that stuff IS true reli-
gious worship? I think not.
And so there is perfect pic
ture of modern :''Babylon," the
great system of confusion and
error that must soon fall. If
these Babylon preachers had the
TRUTH there would not be such
confusion. If they would just
read The Fool-Killer they would
get their eyes open.
! Poor old Babylon.
The fool-killer., 1922-09-01

sample every kind of 'preach-
ing" on the yaEd, so I moved
along over to Holiness head
quarters. They sung two or
three songs in the tune of Gas
ey Jones" or "Old Molly Hair, -
swaying and patting like a crowd
Of drunk niggers, and then came
a prayer led by a little sawed-of
fellow with a great shock Of
sandy hair. He got down and
almost bored his nose in the dirt
and shook his head till that
great mop of yaller wool looked
like bundle of oats in a cyclone.
He yelled out his prayer as if he
thought God must be as deaf as
a post and a long piece off at
that. It didn't sound to me like
a prayer-it sounded like a Chi
|nese laundryman quaIrelling
with a customer over the price
Of a lost collar button.
Well, the prayer was finally
finished, and while the saWed-of
fellow was getting his breath a
tall pleasant-looking fellow with
black hair got up and started to
make the preach come. He did
MT seem to have much education
and couldn't pronounce some of
his words right, but he had a
pleasant face and a very agree
able manner about him. Wheth-
er you agreed with what he said
Or not you couldn't help liking
the fellow.
And so he started in to preach
cn Baptism" Over on the other
side of the square the Mormon
was still beating the air, and
every little while one of his high
notes would come across to us
like a tin whistle cussing brass
band. But by this time the Nor
mon didn't have much of a
crowd, for the Holiness could
make more noise, aud that's
|what It takes to draw the crowd.
! But as / was saying, the Holi-
ness preacher started in on Bap-
[t.sm, and wish / may get rich
|if he didn't preach the very
identical sermon the Mormon
was preaching from A to Lizard
But while they were preaching
the same sermon and advocating
the very same kind Of baptism
they were pointing the finger OF
scorn at each other and making
slightly remarks back and forth
i Well, the Mormon had milked
NEARLY all the preach out of him
self ,and the Holiness man had
.,ust begun 20 give it down good,
when 10 and behold, I saw g
third man bob up on the other
side of the lot and cut loose to
singing in a tone of voice that
.(unded like pouring clabbered
agony out Of jug. The third
man was a regular Baptist sky
r,'ot who has not permitted &
new idea to step across the
threshold of his mind in the past
forty years. But ideas are not
necessary to Baptist preacher
(n01' to most of the others, fol
that matter), and so this man
is recognized as one of the bang
up-est preachers in the whole
! Baptist layout.
/ Well 1arnttu soon Pow Mr..

.FOUR-POWER PACIFIC
TREATY IS RATIFIED
OPPONENTS MAKE SCORE OF UN-
SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO
QUALIFY ACTION.
FINAL VOTE WAS 81 TO q
On Final Roll Call, Twelve Democrats
Vote For Treaty and Four Repub-
licans Against 1t.

Washington. - The four-power Pa
cific treaty, the center of controversy
over accomplishments of the Washing
ton arms conference, was ratlhed by
the senate with no reservation except
the mo alliance" declaration proposed
by the foreign relations committee and
accepted by President Harding.
The final vote of 81 to 27, represent
ing a margin of four over the neces-
sary two-thirds, was recorded after the
opponents of ratification had made
more than 20 unsuccessful attempts
to qualify senate action by reserva-
tions or amendments distasteful to the
administration. On the deciding roll
call IL democrats voted for the treaty
and only four republicans opposed it.
Dying hard, the irreconcilable ele'
ment, which had opposed the treaty on
the ground that it establishes an alli-
ance between the United States, Great
Britain, Japan and France, forced SO
roll calls during a four and a half
hours session set aside for final action
on the resolution Of ratification. They
made their best showing on proposed
reservation to invite outside powers
into Pacific conferences" affecting
their interests, mastering sc votes for
the proposal to IS in opposition.
The committee reservation was ac-
cepted in the end by vote of 80 to 2,
two attempts to modify it failing by
overwhelming majorities. 1t declares
that "the United States understands
that under the statement in the pre-
amble under the terms of this treaty
there is no commitment to armed
force, no alliance, no obligation to
join in any defense"
