116,O8O FORDS
FOR FEBRUARY
ACUTE SITUATION CERTAIN
AS 5000 CARS A DAY FAILS
TO MEET THE DEMAND.

With 116,080 Ford cars sold at retail
in February a new record for the
shortest month in the year has been
established February sales exceeded
those of January by more than $4,000
and marked the eleventh month in
which Ford sales have topped the
100000 line.
This sales record bears out predic-
tons made at the opening of the year
that an acute shortage in Ford cars
is certain and this shortage is expect
ed to be felt within the next two
months with the increased volume OF
car buying which is always attendant
upon the spring months.
Even the high production schedule
set at the Ford Motor Company's fac
tory, which will reach 5000 cars and
trucks day about April /, will be I'M
able to meet the apparent demand for
Ford products.
Anticipating a great increase in the
demand for Ford cars during the pres
ent year the factory here laid plans
for increasing production to the 6,00G
car day schedule and since January
LIST had been constantly speeding up
to reach this figure De
mand so far has been of such great
proportions as to absorb nearly all
production, and stocks in hands of
dealers are at present the lowest they
have been in months.
February sales of 1l6,080 cars were
made in the face of unfavorable wealth
er conditions in many sections. This
was particularly true throughout the
the northern tier of states
and in New England. In California,
too, cold weather during a part of the
month had its effect upon car sales.
Yet with even these unfavorable
the February sales topped
those of January by IS per cent and
set new high record for mid-winter
selling.
With February the eleventh month
in which Ford car sales have gone
over the 100000, the total for this pc
Rod is close to 1,250,000 cars
Peak car sales usually are reached
during the summer months with
drops in the fall and winter. This
feature of automobile absorption by
the buying public has been complete
ly changed during the last few months
the activities of the Ford
dealer organization which has raised
the peak" line to include every
month in the year.

WATCH YOUR KIDNEYS

Inhaling the fumes of turpentine and
white lead often weakens the kidneys.
That's one reason why SO many paint
ers have bad backs and sick kidneys.
Exposure, frequent colds and chills
and the strain OF climbing up and
down ladders help start the trouble.
If your back aches, if sharp pains
strike you in the back when STOPPING,
lifting or working if you have head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic pains; if
the urine is discolored or passages
painful and scanty, try Doan's Kidney
Pills, the remedy so widely used and
so well recommended by men in the
painting trade. Here's a Dawson tes-
timony:
w. H. Lytle, prop. auto paint works,
n. Main street, says: "Turpentine
fumes affected my kidneys and caus-
ed lame back When | had an attack
| suffered such agony in the small of
my back could scarcely get up when
was down. The kidney secretions
passed too often and they were highly
colored. | often had severe pains in
the back of my head and | could
hardly turn it one way or the other.
| used Doan'S Kidney Pills purchased
at Lees drug store and they quickly
rid me of the trouble"

Male Slaves Are Worth
Much More Than Women
African Men Sell for Sc to $24, But
Girls Bring From SOC to Sc.


Human slaves are sold on the block
in Abyssinia at prices ranging from
$24 down, according to information
laid before the League of Nations at
Geneva, Switzerland Quotations on
humans caught in the open, chained,
grouped and sold into the interior of
Asia Minor at the present time are
given as follows;
Able-boded male slaves, SO to $24
each, according to age, strength and
productive ability.
Female slaves, demand slight, Sc
down to 50 cents. Child slaves are abb
soute drug on the market. These cost
so much to keep until they reach the
age of productivity that they are a
losing investment
The league will take up the prob
lem Of suppression OF human slavery
at the next annual assembly in Sep
TENDER. As Abyssinia is not mem
Der of the league, and consequently
under no obligation to accept its in
reference in domestic affairs, the sit

France, Italy and England possess

Would NatiOnalize
The Coal Mines
(By Federated Press)

Washington-A plan for national
lzlng the anthracite coal mines is en-
bodied in a brief filed with the u. S.
fact finding coal commission by Th0s.
Kennedy, C. G. Goldin and w. j.
Brennan, presidents of the three an
thracite districts of the United Mine
Workers of America.
1t provides for a retirement of in
vestors' stocks and bonds and all of
the capital stock of coal companies
by the substitution of per cent bonds
and the retirement of these bonds
through a period of so years so that
no losses in investment may be suf-
fered. This plan of financing the in
dustry would entirely free it within
so years from the charges made upon
it by investors, according to the brief
of the miners.
Naturalization as outlined in the
make higher wages possible through
fiuence on high royalties" and a re-
duction in future liabilities Of the in
dustry, the miners point out.
"We propose to eliminate large
part of the present mine cost of the
smaller companies by guaranteeing
that land owenrs get a fair invest
ment and no more" they tell thOcoal
commission. "The result would be
to decrease royalty charges drastical-
ly and to abolish the whole system by
which prices to consumers can be
raised beyond reasonable levels
through the disturbing element Of the
small marginal producer"
They estimate that retiring the
present investment would average
only 28 cents a ton over the next so
years, while the amounts paid to
capital holders were 78 cents in 1920
and $1.40 in 1929, and may be
more in the near future.
The miners point out to the fact
finding commission that so far as as
certaining the facts about the coal
industry is concerned it's present pro-
cedure is worthless. They declare
that neither the public nor the miners
will know any more about the indus
try than they do now unless the pre-
sent accounting system be revised.
They recommend the installation of
a uniform accounting system for the
anthracite industry SO that the pub
lie may at all times be in the position
to ascertain the facts about it's fuel
supply, the costs, the profits and
everything connected with it.

The transport ST. Mihiel on her re-
turn to the United States will touch
first at Savannah, Ga, where the
headquarters and service companies
and one battalion of the Eighth In
fantry, with medical personnel, will
be landed.
The second landing of troops will
be at Charleston, S. c., where one
battalion, together with two battalion
sections of headquarters and service
companies, will disembark. From
Charleston the ST. Mihiel will proceed
to New York, where all remaining
troops, commission and warrant off
GERS of General Aliens command will
be landed.
Those detachments landed at Sa-
vannah will be sent to Fort Screven,
Georgia, and those disembarked at
Charleston will be stationed at Fort
Moultrie, while orders will be pre-
pared later giving station to those
landed at New York.
General Allen already has been adj
vised that the withdrawal order might
be forthcoming at any moment, and
the only action necessary was to send
him specific instructions to begin his
movement to the embarkation port
and to dispose of property which will
not be brought home. 1t is possible
that his orders will be enlarged later
to include even. withdrawal of the
Graves registration unit, although that
point still is unsettled.
General Allen will turn over the
Coblenz bridgehead zone to whatever
officer the French authorities may des-
ignate to receive the command. The
withdrawal order thus will bring to
an end official American participation
in any of the machinery set up as a
result of the World War.
