Henry Ford Uses Radio in
Announcing Tractor
Price Cut

The first announcement of the big
cut in the. price OF, the Fordson trae-
tor was made. thru Mr.. Henry Fords
radio message Thursday evening, Jan
uary .26th, from the. Dearborn Radio
Station to Ford dealers attending a
Fordson Tractor Industrial Show IN
Cleveland, Ohio. The context Of his
talk, which was very plainly heard in
Cleveland and surrounding districts,
is'quoted below.
7 at is certainly wonderful to sit
ihere in my. office and say few words
of greeting to you Ford dealers OF the
Cleveland territory. The radio is an
outstanding tribute to mans lnven-
tive genius. They say there is moth
ing new under the sun, but we are
constantly inventing new things, every
day bringing some big Improvement
over the previous days methods.
Manufacturing operations have
undergone some wonderful revolution
airy changes during the past few years
We are all familiar with the big I'M
provements in transportation methods,
but the oldest industry has been the
most backward in the acceptance or
adoption of the new and up-to-date
methods of doing things, and that IS
the farming industry. Being a farms
er, am vitality interested in all farm
improvements, and with this IN mind,
Ihave spent years of time and millions
in money in the development Of the
Fordson tractor, which l really think
is one of the biggest possible helps to
profitable farming.
"As a general thing, the farmers
have bettered their financial condition
during the past Is months, but the
production costs of farm products are
still too close to selling prices to al
low fair margins of profit. What the
farmer must do to put his business on
a paying basis is to lower the most OF
planting, cultivating, and harvesting
of his crops. This alone will increase
his profits, and with this thought IN
mlnd it has been our constant aim 10
lower the price of the Fordson so that
every farmer in the land could afford
to own one. 1t is pleasure, there
fore, to announce thru you Ford deal
ers that we have today decided that
the tractor price should again be re-
duced, and in considering a reduction,
naturally my thought has been to make
it possible for the largest number or
farmers to share in the benefits to be
derived thru the use OF our tractor,
and consequently effective tomorrow,
January 9th, 1922, the new price OF
the Fordson tractor will be $685., t. @.
b. Detroit. This is cut of $3.50 off
the present price, and while in max
ing this big reduction we have taken
upon ourselves a gigantic task in the
reduction of manufacturing costs, still
that task, in my opinion, is not larger
than the farmers problem Of today,
and am glad to do my part in bring
ing about period of increased pros
perity for the farmer. Your part is
to carry this message to the farmer,
thereby enabling him to produce more
with less cost and shorter hours.

THE ROMANCE OF A
PLAIN WASHRAG

Just plain washrag-one of the
last things on earth from which TO-
nance would be expected to evolve
but ii this isn't romance, heightened
by realism, then there is not any
more romance in real life. The story
was printed just as II reads below
IN a Baker, oregon, newspaper.
Long before the war, IN the days
when poets had time to SIT around and
make words rhyme, one of the
brotherhood voiced his creed that:
In the mud and scum OF things,
Always, always, something sings"
When brings US polnt-blank to the
subject Of washrags Way back III
the spring days OF 1918, Olive Car
pcnter OF 1870 Firth Street, Baker,
Oregon, sat in s.yth-grade room,
Mrs. Grants sixth-grade room at
south Baker ScA3oI, Knitting wash
rag for the Red Cross. When the
last stitch was knit, the last pull given
20 get the thing into shape, Olive with
. view to the Not Impossible Some
ching thar might happen IN the future,
wrote d letter on little slXth-graue
scrap OF papcr-and soon after that
the washrag began it's travels.
Which brings us point blank to the
subject Of Sumpter, Oregon. That
washrag of Olives went first to the
Sumpter branch of the Red Cross.
Someone found the tag and the name
and asked Olives father, who was
then at Sumpter, whether Olive Car
penter was his little girl, When he
replied cheerfully that Olive was, the
ladies told him that Olives sixth
grade WaShraG was conducting post
graduate instruction,eJ course, teaching
the Sumptcr ladies just how the Red
Grass wanted washrags knit. There's
a reason: Olive made perfect wash
rag. Thoreau or somebody else said
the world would find it out.
Which brings US to the subject of
Russia! Friday morning Olive
brought to the Red Cross office let
ter with post-mark that would make
the T. B. NJ. get out his pilgrims
staff and go a-pllgriming. The magic
post-mark said, "Cademario, pres
Lugano, Switzerland, 2 June, 1921"
The letter Olive read was this:

hundreds who gathered at lakewood

After placing the wreath on the

ed degree. 1t seems TO be con-
coded on all sides that most of
the rabid lawlesSness Is taking
the form of violations Of the IL
qnor laws OF one sort or the 9th

law enforcement officials Is di-
rected toward attempting To curb
that variety of lawbreakers.
Now the establishment OF Il

doubtedly be 4 good thing. but

Lincoln County, has offered 4. bill
