Ford. lis the result of the in creased volume of business which our company has enjoyed during the present year, and also to the fact that We now own and operate many of our own sources of raw material, which enables us to continue in creasing the quality Of our product and at the same time keep the price so low that Ford cars are in reach of everybody.
 Our Production for 1929 is already in excess of a million, which has been an important factor in bring down costs. Our present daily out put is averaging better than 5000 cars and trucks. khich means a com plete Ford cGr oT truck every 512 seconds of each each-hour working

composition.
 While the battery is discia-:;icg, the actiTe material CT the positive plate '.hjch was o.,g.ra:ly leai per oxide, becomes lead sulphate through ombination with some of the acid in the battery solution. T:le material of the negative pla:e becomes weaker , in acid by this process as is shown by the lowered density when tested with battery hydrolneter. Lead sulphate on the plates has oxide or spongy lead formerly there, and forms a layer Of inert material over the remaining active material. | Thus the weakening battery solu- tiOn cannot penetrate the sulphate ! to reach the unchanged active mater ials and the battery becomes less active and it's voltage lower.
 In recharging a battery, direct current must be passed through the cells in l direction oppUsitn to that of discharge. During G,lis period, the lead sulphate on the battery plate
 
 and the lead sulphate on the mega tive plate reconverted into sponge lead. The electrolytic gradually in ! creaseS in density and at the end ot the charge will ba of the same strength as beofre the discharge.
 The Willard Storage Battery com pany of Cleveland, togther with mos other nationally known storage bat tery manufacturers have always urg ed that no other substances of an! kind be placed in a lead sulphuriC acid battery. The proper chemical! have been placed in these batterie: by authorized service stations. Non' of these chemicals are lost through use or evaporation and nothing bu distilled water should be added b1 their users.

 About one of the first things Hub- bard did on his return to Bisbee was to call on the Bisbee Auto company, local dealers for the Studebaker peo- pie, and assured them of his com- plete satisfaction on the performance of his new car.

FAIRCHILDS
 HOLDS 9TH
 ANNIVERSARY
Magnificent Jewelry Dis play Is Arranged In Hon or of Firms Birthday To day.

The firm of G. w. Fairchild and Sons, jewellers, at 997 Main street, eel ebrates it's 57th birthday today. In honor of the event magnificent dis play of wares has been arranged which is really the heralding of the Christmas exhibition, and all next week there will be big reductions on jewelry clocks, leather, glass, china goods, silver and diamonds.
 In 1865, Geroge w. Fairchi1d, who had been employed for many years in one of the largest and most reliable jewelry firms in New York city, came to this city to set up a smaller store on the same high standards. His first business place was in the Old Citi- zens' building, where the Kresge Five and Ten Cent store now stands Here the reputation of the Fairchild firm was made. After seven years at that place, larger quarters were needed and so the store was moved to the corner of Main and John streets, where Wat sons lba nix Is now situated. The Fair child company remained at that place for over 35 years when it was found that the newly completed store at the entrance to the arcade was a more effective site, and So a change was made.
 Since its establishment over a half century ago, the FHairchild store has been the mecca of all seekers of stable reliable goods at moderate cost, and never once has the store broken faith with it's patrons. The company now manufactures it's own make of watches and jeweiry, it's own

The military detachment at Fort Meyer, Va. just a stones throw from Arlington, will fire a 21-gun Presidential salute as +he chief executives party passes
 The burden of President Hardins's Arnnistice Day message to the Amer ican people was that the part taken by American forces overseas has im- posed upon the United States a duty to recognize that hencefC rth we must maintain a helpful and sustaining at tittude in all the broader relationships that involve the nation" He said that the first duty of America should be to their own dead, but that that duty could not be adequately dis charged in narowness and selfish ness"

Coroner E inds POrter's
 Death Was Accidental

George A. Porter, 60 years old, of Stratford, came to his death in an accidental manner on sthe evening of November last, when he was struck by an autom obile being driven by Mrs. Olive c. Nourse, of Westport.
 Porter's death and the time of its occurrence is perhaps one of the most striking coincidents which have ever occurred in this vicinity. A few hours before he was struck, while walking along the highway in Westp ort, he was apprehended by the Stratford po- lice in his home charged with a statutory offense. By a ruse he evaded the officer who served him with papers.
 At the inquest held by the Coroner it was disclosed that Mrs Nourse was driving her machine at the rate of Is miles an hour. The long procession of machines going in the opposite di- rection blinded her temporarily so that she did not see the m an before it was too late to avoid striking him.
