FORD TELLS OF CUT
IN RADIO MESSAGE

The first announcement of the bic
cut in the price of the Fordson trac.
tor was made through Henry Ford's
radio message Thursday evening
January 26, from our Dearborn radio
station to Ford dealers attending a
Fordson Tractor Industrial Show in
Cleveland, Ohio. The context Of his
talk, which was plainly heard in
Cleveland and surrounding district, is
quoted below:
1T is certainly wonderful 10 sit
here in my office and say a few
words Of greeting to you Ford deal
ers OF the Cleveland territory. The
radio is an outstanding tribute to
mans inventive genius. Thew say
there is nothing new under the sun,
but we are constantly inventing new
things, every day bringing some big
Improvements over the previous days
methods.
Manufacturing operations have
undergone some wonderful revolu-
tionary changes during the past few
years. We are all familiar with the
big improvements in transportation
methods, but the oldest industry has
been the most backward in the ac-
ceptance or adoption Of the new and
up-tO-date methods of doing things,
and that is the farming industry.
Being a farmer, l am vitality inter
ested in all farm improvements, and
with this in mind, have spent years
OF time and millions in money in the
development of the Fordson tractor,
which / really think is one of the
biggest helps to profitable farming.
GAS a general thing, the farmers
have bettered their financial cOndi-
ton during the past eighteen months,
but the production costs of farm
products are still too close to selling
prices to allow fair margins of profit
What the farmer must do to put his
business on a paying basis is to lower
the cost Of planting, cultivating and
harvesting of hts crops. This alone
will increase his profits, and with this
thought in mind it has been our con-
slant aim to lower the price of the
FordsOn so that every farmer in the
land could afford to own one. It is a
pleasure, therefore, to announce
through you Ford dealers that we
have today decided that the tractor
price should again be reduced, and in
a reduction, naturally my
thought has been to make it possible
FOR the largest number Of farmers to
share in the benefits to be derived
through the use of our tractor, and
consequently, effective tomorrow,
January 9th, 1922, the new price of

off the present price, and while in
making this big reduction we have |
aiken upon ourselves a gigantic task |
n the reduction of manufacturing |
costs, still that task, in my opinion,
S not larger than the farmers prob
EN- of today, and / am glad to do my
part in the bringing about of a pc
'iod of increased prosperity for the |
farmer. Your part is to carry this
Message to the farmer, thereby en-
.bling him to poduce more with less !
cost and shorter hours.
81 am glad to have had this OPP
oortunity Of talking with you and
you have my best wishes"

ourselves by our bOOtstraps long

Conditions in the United States
have reached a point where Federal

influences of tiding over the effects
Of the World War have been all but
exhausted. Individual effort is re-
CURED to save the situation.
1.-THE pot has boiled down to the
danger point and scorching will fol-
low unless the world masses go to
work"
With these pertinent words George
NJ. Reynolds, president of the Cont

cago, last week addressed the leading
bankers of Los Angeles and the Cali
fornia Club, where he was a guest of
honor at luncheon given by Presi-
dent o. NJ. Souden of the United
States National Bank.
Mayor W. H. Sullivan of Bogalusa
was also an honored guest.
Talks of Foreign Trade
Discussing the failure of foreign
trade, deploring the conditions of the
railroads and excessive freight rates;
outlining the struggles of the farmer
against prices lower than the cost of

stacle to the return of normal condi-
tions, Mr.. Reynolds registered fer
vent appeal for individual endeavor
on the part of all people of the United
States to go to work.
''The clock has been turned back
thirty years. This nation and other
nations of the world must realize this
fact, and go to work as they had to
do thirty years ago." he declared.
'All profiteering must cease. Pro-
lection of labor or any individual
class can no longer be obtained by
Those resources have
been exhausted. There is no justifi-
cation for idleness or false mainte-
nance of unreasonable prices and
must be made all along
the line. It is impossible to legislate
prosperity, although the general pub
lie appear to believe that some such
methods will save the face of world
Sees Better Times
While quoting facts and figures
startling in the scope of their i'm
port, Mr.. Reynolds stood firm in
MS conviction that better times are
ahead for this country, and that safe
and sane procedure will solve all
problems.
"How soon do dare to say" he
said. 'gFhat rests with the individ-
1aI effort of American citizenship,

IS so much better off that any other
nation in the world that we are justi-

rates without reducing the costs Of
labor and material would force the
railroads into bankruptcy, and that
the question becomes a problem of
all interests and the masses. Neither
legislation nor any one power or
group of interests can solve this
problem without the fullest co-opera-
ton of the people.
"a fair days work at fair days

through the legislation of unionism

quirement of conditions as I see them
in the United States today. When

Report On Public Roads
By Grand Jury, Feb. 9

The condition Of the Franklinton-
Bogalusa Highway came in for an
investigation by the grand jury Of
Washington Parish last week. The
members of the jury, evidently dis
pleased with the condition OF the
newly constructed link between Bo-
galusa and the Parish seat, sent in
the following report to District Judge
Prentiss B. Carter:
To Judge Prentiss B. Carter, Judge
Of the Twenty-sixth Judicial Dis
trict Court, Washington Parish,
louisiana:
Dear Judge-We have made a par
tial examination of the deplorable
practice of a few of our good citizens
damaging our hard-sur-
faced public roads by hauling logs
and other heavy loads over them con-
We find that the law re-
quires them to procure permit from
the Police Jury before hauling any
logs at all over the hard-surfaced
roads, or any public road on which
public funds are spent, and, with the
= dLGIIlS VI LLIc pGIIllItJ giving VI oS1A
ficient bond to guarantee repairing
of the damages done to any roads
over which logs may be hauled. We
find that the parish has spent about
100000 to build good roads and that
it is manifestly unfair and a gross
injustice to the other citizens of the
parish for one or two citizens to de-
5troy the good roads erected for the
benefit of the whole people.
We further find that some of our
best citizens have been thus violating
the law and believe that the intent of
the law was to correct the evil rather
than penalize the innocent offender,
and further, that the offenders have
5ignified a willingness to repair any
and all damage which a competent
will point out as having been
caused by the heavy traffic over the
'oads thus used by them.
Therefore, we make this report to
he court, and at our next meeting,
f all damage has not. been repaired
md we have not been officially adj
used that any damage done has been
'epaired, we will take steps to bring
o justice the offenders.
Respectfully,
L. L. RICHARDSON,
Foreman of Grand Jury.

WORLD VIC. 7. j.
CONVENTION To
NEE NOV,1l-l6
sWearers of the White Rib
bon Representing Every
Nation Are Expected to
Be in Attendance.

Philadelphia, oct. 2S.--Wearers
of the white ribbon of the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union,
representing nearly every nation in
the world, will assemble here NO
yember 11-16 in the eleventh world
convention OF their organization,
Two great objects Of the conven-
ton are announced as follows:
1.-THE enlistment of every civilized
country in the world in the anti
LIQUOR cause. and the development
of a determined offensive against
the movement to modify or repeal
the United States dry amendment
and statutes"
A polyglot prohibition petition
which, when rolled up tight, fills
seven huge packing cases, and
which contains eight million sig
natures set down in more than 80
languages. will be unrolled and
draped about the hall Of assem-
blage in the Philadelphia Academy
of Music.
Delegates from abroad will come
prepared to make a careful study
OF the methods used by American
women to win the country to the
prohibition cause and also those
used for it's enforcement now that
the country is legally dry, The
visitors from Finland and Scandi-
navian countries, where prohibition
has been tried in modified form,
will focus their attention on the
enforcement phase of prohibition,
that being the most troublesome
part of their own laws.
w. c. T. L. Representatives from
China, Japan. Ceylon, South At
RIGA, Burma. India. Australia, and
New Zealand will he present pre-
pared to listen attentively to the
stories of the experience of anti
liquor crusaders in different parts
OF the world, also to lay the tales
of their own experiences before the
convention for counsel and criti-
cism. From Mexico, Cuba and
South America generally will come
a host of women, many of whom
were present at the recent PAN
American Suffrage Conference.
Western Europe will be amply rep
resented. ireland will send its
quota and Scotland, which in re-
cent years has been a battle-ground
of the prohibitionists and the sup
porters of John Barleycorn. will
send its band of determined
women.
At the opening of the convention
the organization will lack but a few
months of being so years in ex-
istence. It's white banner has been
visible wherever war against liquor
or cigarette smoking has been
waged. The reports received at the
convention are expected to furnish
a barometer of the state of pro-
hibition in every nation Of the
world.
Due to the death of Lady Car
isle, president of the world organ
ization last year, Miss Anna A.
Gordon, e-president, will be
chairman at the convention.

The Leylands occupied an elab-
crate suite in one of New York's
noted hotels. Usually they had
breakfasted together upstairs. but
this morning Leyland had alone
sought the hotel breakfast-room
and was seated when Mrs. Leylan /
appeared. Apparently she was dis
turbed by his change of habit. He
looked at her curiously with an
uncongenial Good morning. as
she took a chair opposite.

for tailoring, haberdashery, and
all else that specifically denotes
a man of fashion. His fetish
was a fair outside.
Mrs Leyland. as lately had been
her habit, was bit frumpish in
appearance. She had not enjoyed
the full ministration of her maid,
apparently. Her hair needed at
tention, and were traces of cold
cream. They had been married
about year.

"Why, john" And Mrs. Ley
land became fearful as LeyIand,
without finishing his breakfast,
rose and left her. And weeping,
she went out after him, but he
had gone.
In her own richly appointed and
intimate room Mrs. Leyland tele-
phoned her dear friend. Mrs. Bur-

that she might have been taken

thought better of it. Mrs. Ley
