4l.681 FORD TRUCKS
DELIVERED in 6 MO

Detroit, Mich, May 28.-Sales of
41,6S1 Ford trucks during the first
quarter, setting a new high record,
bear out predictions made earlier
that the use of the one-ton truck in
hauling and delivery systems will be
greater this year than ever before.
Not only is the Ford truck rapid
ly coming into more general use ~
the commercial field, where its de-
pendability, ease of operation and its
adaptability to all requirements make
it the most popular, but throughout
the agricultural sections of the oun
TRY it is fast being adopted by the
farmer as the best means of solving
his probe mfor quicker and cheaper
transportation of his products from
the farm to the city.
March sales of Ford trucks, which
reached the new high mark of 1917
exceeded by more than a thousand
the sales of the first three months
of 1922, totaling 1856, and were
SO per cent higher than the sales in

DAY OF NATIONAL SYMPATHY
Significance Of Memorial Time 10 That
Sorrow Ia Shared by Every
Patriotic Spirit.

There is in sorrow q sacred loneli-
ness that resents intrusion, and yet
there is a longing in every human heart
bowed down. for a sense of the SYM
patty of others. Memorial day is the
rendering to those who mourn, the
token of a nations compassion.
: 1t was a noble prompting that set
the day aside. 1t is not a mere formal
ity, the occasion for a show of grief.
Those gone before will be remembered
daily and every grief-stricken heart
will have its private sanctuaries. But
this day the burden OF sorrow is
shared, the loss of all Is commemorate
ed the hope of all is reaffirmed.
The new graves shall have their
heaps of bloom and let there be at
least a blossom for those that are
sunken and sodded. The lowly and the
unmarked must have the common care.
And with the reawakened memories
of the dead, let there come a quicken
ing of the sense of responsibility to the
living. To those to whom a nations
gratitude Is due as defenders let there
be lacking no just recognition Of the
indebtedness, lest the outward show Of
sorrow fail of that which proves ex-
preston of sympathy genuine.-E1-
