Ii is pleasing to note that while the biz
powers were wrangling over political and
Economic questions at Genoa. Sweden

that completely changed the hostile atti

other. Sweden and Finland have been
on the verge of war several times in the
past three or four years on account of the
Aland Island controversy. Thus the
agreement reached is particularly signi6.
cant in that it emphasizes tho value of
the policies of Cancellation which the
ministers of the respective nations carried
~ut at Genoa.
As consequence Of these friendly con-
',Tsations the rather superficial hatred
of the Swcdcs and Firms for each other
has been removed and for the first time
in years friendly spirit appears in the
newspapers of both Sweden and Finland,
Tho new agreement will undoubtedly
have great bearing upon the countries
surrounding the Baltic Sea for it leads
10 a cooperative policy with regard to
control of this body of water. The safe.
iy of Baltic Sea transportation is a mat.
ter of highest importance to Scandina-
Wan states and it is wise move that
permits Sweden and Finland to ac,
jointly in protecting the Baltic trade
routes
There could have been ether combina.
tions. Finland might have cast her lot
with Poland, or Sweden might have
sought an agreement with Germany. who
guards the North Sea entrance to the
Baltic. Either arrangement would prob:
ably have effected complete break be.
tween the two governments.
The amicable settlement of the Swedish. |
Finn dispute should meet with popular
approyal both in Europe and America.

you contract q cold, but how to get
rid of it with the least loss of time

FORD RETAIL SALES
GO OVER MILLION
Show. Increase of los, 900 Cars And
Trucks Over Previous
Year.

Retail sales of Ford Cars, Trucks
and Fordson Tractors have again ex-
ceeded the million mark for the year
1921, according to a statement given
out few days ago by the Ford Mo-
tor Company.
The Ford factory and assembly
production figures reached a total Of
1,050,740 cars, trucks and tractors
for the year, with retail sales by
dealers approximating 1,O93,O0G,
which in the United States alone sur
passed the 1920 retail sales record bv
104,213 Ford cars and trucks.
The Ford Company says the outlook
for 1922 is decidedly optimistic. In
fact, concrete evidence already ex-
lists in that car and truck retail sales
for December 1921, exceeded Deem
Der 1920 sales by almost 25 per cent
and Fordson tractor retail sales fo1
the same periods show an increase of
over 100 per cent for December 1921
as well as an increase over the total
tractor sales for the month of No
vember.
These facts seem to indicate that
not only are the farmers buying more
freely, but that the general public is
becoming more responsive and recep-
tive.
Another point brought out by q
comparison of production figures fol
the past two years shows that Fore
enclosed cars are gaining in popular
ity, as 90 per cent of the 1921 pro.
duction were Sedans and Coupes as
against total of IS per cent for the
year previous.
Recent reductions in Ford car ane
truck prices brought them to a new
low level. The Touring car now sells
fGr $348.00, the Runabout for $4,000
TIE Coupe for $4,000, the Sedan fol
S645, the Chassis for $685., and the
truck for $4,000, all FOB. Detroit
This is the fourth price cut in thu

SALT LAKE CITY, Cdah, Nov 14.-An effort to stay the passing of the prospector, his burro and the day of his picturesque and useful search for new Fl Dorado has been started by the mining committee of the Salt Lake Commercial Club and arrangements are being made for establishing a "grub-staking'' organ iZation. with a capital of $500, 900.

 Members of the mining commit tee, according to their announce ment, entered into the enterprise from public spirited standpoint, only, believing that Utah, which is the chief silver producing state in the Union, and which has yielded $1 300, 100000 in mineral wealth, is capable of producing several times this total if its resources are care- fully developed.
 The name of the organization will probably be The Prospecting of Utah" and one unit would be given to any person sub $50 to the fund in ten installments. Mining claims discovered would be shared accord- ing to the amount of stock held
 Governor Charles Mabey of Utah Is among the many prominent citi zens interested in the venture.
 Prospecting, while not exactly a lost art, has become one in which few men are now active. Nowadays, 1t is almost impossible for a pros pector to get a grub stake where as in the mining boom days of Utah almost any business man, broker or operator would willingly put up the money.
