127.249 FORDs SOLD IN APRIL.
For d Retail Sales Hit New High
Mark,

| According to report just re
ceived from the Ford Motor Com
pany Company, Detroit, daily av.
erage of 5,210 retail sales of Ford
cars and trucks had been reached by
the close of April in the United
States alone.
Ford sales of cars and trucks for
the month, including both domestic
and foreign, totaled 127,249. This
establishes a new high record, ex-
ceeding the largest previous month,
June 1921, by 15,467.
The sale of Fordson tractors has
also been steadily climbing. A total
of 11,181 Fordsons were sold during
April in the United States, a daily
average of 469 having been reached
by the end of the month. This gives
the tractor a new high sales record,
and shows 100 per cent increase over
the best month in 1921.
The Ford Company is enjoying a
banner year in all departments. Out
put of Ford cars and trucks for the
year, according to previous estimates,
will exceed 100000 which repre-
sents ten per cent increase over
1921.
The Ford factory at Detroit is now
operating at full capacity, having
force of more than 10000 men on the
payroll. The scheduled output for
May will probably reach $4,000 cars
and trucks, which will be applied
against orders approximating 1885,
900.
Despite the attempt of the factory
and the twenty-three assembling
plants in the United States to pro-
duce a sufficient number of cars to
meet the unusually heavy demand,
it has been impossible for Ford deal
ers in most cases to make immediate
deliveries.

MOVING PICTURES
MADE IN UNION CITY
Picture Filming by the sabins o
Union City.

Last Thursdy night the Sabin stu
dios presented to very appreciatlve
audience their first attempts at NOV
g-picture photography at Reynolds
Theatre.
This week they will give their
second exhibition. AS there have been
so many requests to repeat the first
show they will again show "The
Moon Queen and "On Midsummer
Day." which were presented by the
pupils of the first five grades of
Westover and Central schools
This week they are giving scenes
from "Hiawatha's Childhood and
Patriots Pageant of Peace" Next
week they will show the Louisville
Boosters and their activities here in
Union City; also the kindergarten
class of Miss Imogene Jones at play;
the Loyal Sons class of the First
Christian Church; panorama of the
pupils of Westover school and sew
eral other interesting local groups
and interesting events.
This week they are taking the
baseball league teams and the crowds
and have made some very interesting
pictures of the fats and leans which
played to fine crowd last Wednes-
day. ....
The Sabins are working very hard
to make the finest moving pictures
that it is possible to make, and they
are endeavoring to overcome initial
faults, but there are many which
they do not see and they are asking
all who see their work to criticise
it and tell them just what they like
and do not like and why, so that they
may build upon these criticisms and
put their work up to the best stand
ards.
Plans are under way for a home
talent play to be photographed this
summer from scenario to be writ
ten, acted and photographed and fin
ished entirely in Union City. Get
busy with your plots and write it in
to scenario form. It might be the
one that will be chosen.

Fathers Day.

A very large audience was present
last Sunday at the Methodist Church
to attend the service given in honor
of the fathers. A number of we'll
known citizens were seated on the
altar with the minister. The sermon
was befitting the day. Rev. Mathis
is surely growing into the good
graces and the highest regards of not
only the people of his own church
but of the entire community. He is
a man of plain habits and speech,
but he is student and the gospel
comes from his lips in it's native pu-
rity and in it's original significance.
He is doing some good work in Union
City, and when the conference finds
another harvest field for him it will
be an occasion when good friends
must part.

SONG OF LIFE" ALL-STAR
SPECIAL, IS COMING HERE

"The Song of Life" an all-sta1
production, heralded as one Of the
most dramatic and interesting pho
plays of the year, is coming to the
Reynolds Theatre on June 6. 1t was
produced by Director John M. Stahl
for Louis B. Mayer and is First Ma
tional release.
Georgia Woodthorpe, at one time
leading lady for Edwin Booth, por-
trays the central character, that of
an elderly woman, who years before
had left her home and husband be-
cause of her dislike of the menial
tasks around house and because of
her love for pretty things. She real
ICES her folly when the happy mar

disturbed for the same reasons.
CASTOR Glass, distinguished as the
star of "Humoresque," is seen as the
Juvenile lead, while Grace Darmond,
afamous screen star and beauty, por-
trays the ingenue lead.
Richard Headrick, four years old,
universally beloved for his work in
"The Child Thou Gavest Me-" has an
important role, and Wedgewood
NOVEL;, a distinguished actor, takes
the part of the heavy.
Other we'll known figures in the
cinema world who contribute their
talents to "The Song of Life" are
Arthur Stuart Hull, Edward j. Peil,
Fred Kelsey and Claud Payton.
The production was filmed on an
elaborate scale and is said to be the
finest photodrama that has yet been
made by Mr.. Stahl, who is rated as
one of the most able members of his
craft.

GOOD BASEBALL
FINE TEAM WORK
Sunday Schools Pitch Second Game
Last Friday.

The game last Friday between the
Sunday school players of the Chris
tian and the Cumberland churches
was not SO evenly matched. The
Christians had the advantage of a
league pitcher and another one or
two who had been in the bushes, but
there was nevertheless some good
work done. The work was not heavy
but it was more like professional
ball.
OF course Neca- Johnson was the
star of the two teams, at the same
time Pete Rogers gave a very good
imitation of Babe Ruth. Then there
were few other specimens of drilled
work. Coble Walker made fine
double play in the field and some
real base work. Bramham got a hot
liner in the pocket without finch.
The box score is as follows:

tprspassd Sy the United States Dspsrtms,<
Of Agrtcultural
Beef production In the United States
has undergone marked changes since
1850. and chief among them IL tho DIFF
ference In age to which animals des-
tined for slaughter are kept ON the
farms. This IL one Of the many phases
Of the industry discussed In the 1921
Yearbook article, Our Beef Supply.
prepared BY live stock specialists and
economists In the Department of Agri-
culture. This change II discussed in
connection with variations in the de-
mands Of consumers and the per cap
ita consumption Of beet.
With 4 larger proportion Of beef
cows kept, and with cattle slaugh-
tered at an earlier age. 1t Is now pos
sible to raise more beef each year
than when there were more cattle
IN the country than at present. How.
ever. the system Of using younger cat.
tie for beef involves the use of more
harvested feed per 100 pounds of beef
produced. since a larger proportion of
the gains in weight are made In the
feed lot than was formerly the case
when steers were carried four or i've
seasons on grass.
Situation Not Serious.
While the total number Of cattle In
the country has decreased In recent
years, the situation IL not as serious
rs might appear. since the number of
cattle IL greater now than in any year
from 1906 to 1917. The census figures
for 1900 and 1920 show that there has
been an increase in the percentages of
beef calves, heifers. cows and bulls,
and q decrease In the percentage of
steers. especially aged steers. The
number Of cattle In the country In
creased l0.20O,OOO from 1914 to 1919.
During the last three yeasS there has
been decrease Of 1900. 600 head, but
the greater proportIon Of cows 1t pres
ent makes 1t possible to grow more
beef, especially II more Of the calves,
instead Of being slaughtered, arc fed
out as yearlings.
That the country can readily respond
to a quickened demand for beef
was demonstrated during the war
when production was % stimulated
that during 1917 and 1918 combined
more than 1.OOOODO. 900 pounds of beef
were exported. which was Z per cent
Of our production and = per cent Of
the exports Of the world during that
period. Since about 1905 South Amer
