MEMORIAL DAY
At BUCKINGHAM

Memorial Day was celebrated at
Buckingham on Tuesday. Rev. John
Winterbourne delivered the principal
address. which was patriotic and in
spring.
The threatening weather kept some
Raymer people from attending; but
Rev. Melendy drove up, taking with
him ]. F. Snow. Joe Gingrass. Nathan
Addington. and J. o. Smathers.
While at Buckingham, they were
invited to take part in the program
and Mr.. Smathers In accordance with
expressions made by his companions
on the way up. invited the Bucking-
ham people to join with us and OBJ
serve the day at Raymer next spring.
The invitation was accepted, and
Messers Whipple and De Ford of
Buckingham were appointed as com
mittee to act with J. o. Smathers and
Rev Melendy from this place to ar
range the program.
Now. let us all resolve to back up
our members Of this committed and
see to that they have eur loyal sup
port In their purpose to make the day
one worth while next year.
The Enterprise pleads guilty to
negligence In the past and this year.
We propose to do better next year.

e,OOo,ooOTH FORD
BUILT NAY 18TH
Four out Of Five Ford Cars
and Trucks sold since 1908
Still in Operation

The six millionth Model "T" Ford
Motor was produced May 18th, In the
Ford Factory at Detroit. In other
words. from the time back In lS08
when the Ford Motor Company began
marketing the now famous Model "T''
Motor Car until May 1s. 1929, 4 total
Of six million Ford Cars and Trucks
have been produced. Out Of this
total 5,617,s58 were delivered to pur-
chasers In the United States alone,
and according to the latest statistios,
4,47S,2s4 Of those Ford Cars and
Trucks are still In daily service.
Thus, It will seem that out Of every
five Ford Cars and Trucks sold to re-
tail purchasers In the United States
alone during the past fourteen years.
four are still In actual daily use,
which is really remarkable when the
hard service Of commercial cars Ia
taken into consideration. This seems
to forcibly confirm the popular know
ledge Of longevity Of Ford cars.
That Ford products have been quite
evenly distributed throughout the
United Stateo Is borne out by the fact
that through the sparsely settled COM
munities in the West to the densely
populated cities In the East, practi-
cally the same ratio Of Ford cars and
trucks to population exists.
Ohio leads with total of 290,769
Ford Cars and Trucks in daily use;
Illinois comes second; Pennsylvania
third: Texas fourth, and Michigan
fifth. with total Of 2s4,0s1. New
York. Iowa and California follow In
the order named. each having more
than 100000.
An idea OF the important part play
ed by Ford Cars and Trucks In daily
transportation Of goods and persons
in the United States can be gained by
realization Of the fact that with the
Ford cars now In operation, aver
aging a minimum Of 5000 miles per
year each. they would Pile up a total
Of Twenty-Five Billion transportation
miles-eQuivalent to more than
million trips around the world.

Nven the dead must feel the new
spirit with which each section makes
its loving memorial this year. In 20
many ways does 1t show itself. In
SO many unexpected places are We re-

the Court Of the Dead, must have leaped
at the sight Of fresh pansies lying
on the evergreens.
The wind that swept the avenue that
afternoon was cold and somehow
there was something passing brave In

nearness to each other and q they
approached closer to the Court Of the
Dead one sensed instantly that the
gold star worn by the mother was for
q son who could have bssn no more

The sweetly serious eyes Of the lit

ten-year-0ld khaki-clad boy searched

lay the Twenty-seventh's memorial

GREELEY DISTRICT !.
SUFFERS FROM HAIL

Monday evening a terribly des-
tiuctive hail storm swept the country
on the west side Of the County, with
Greeley apparently as storm center.
Common glass was shattered to
large degree and some plate glass
broken. Sky lights were broken, and
the heavy downpour OF about two
inches Of rain did large amount Of
damage. The Greenhouses and con-
tents were destroyed. The first cut
ting OF alfalfa was ruined. early gar
dens devastated, q million cabbage
plants recently set cut were obliter-
ated. and hardly house In town that
escaped some damage, ranging from
few broken lights UP to thousands
OF dollars.
Automobiles out In the storm had
their tops ruined, and the bodies
looked as II they had been beaten
with hammers.
Hall stones were as large as golf
balls. and their beating on roofs
and payements sounded like the rat
tie Of artillery. The area swept by
tho storm was unusalIy large, being
forty byjfifteen miles. A letter from
IT. Coihn1 written Just after the
storm told that q phone had just In
formed them that west OF Ault. six
inches OF hall fell in thirty minutes.
The damage Is now estimated ut
quarter Of d million dollars.

price Of long weeping these three must
surely have paid for It. Only q quick
upward glance at the mother showed
that at last the shield which they
sought had been discovered. Taking
from his sister the little bunch Of
pansies, the boy stepped over the low
railing and barring his golden head,
stopped to lay the glowing flowers BE-
side the shield marked South
