 Some time this week. they trust, Wallace will officially recogl6 te va rious granaries as government ware houses and thus enable the ls2 mem- Der banks of the farm loan bjilTd to lend money on wheat which is~ sEored in them,

HENRY FORD |S 60' YEARS OLD TODAY.
Left Farm At Age Of "A And Now Is Worlds
 Richest Man

DETROIT, July 29.-Henry Ford, standing on the pinnacle of American
 industry and looking toward the presidency. perhaps, will be 60 years
 old Monday.
 The father of the popular priced "horseless carriage" was born on
 Michigan farm July 30, 1868. He will swing into his seventh decade With out any ceremony other than busl- ness as usual. his secretary, E. c. Liebold stated today.
 Despite an intense dislike or farm
 work, which brought displeasure to his prosperous parents, who expected him to continue farming on the old
 homestead, Ford did not leave the farm until he was ei years old,
 Dreams of vehicle chugginS along
 without tugging horse had come 10 young Ford F years earlier. when, as a small boy, he had seen clumsy road engine of the 70s laborins along a country road. His preference for machinery-wheels, levers. bolts. any
 plaything of steel-was at that time already strongly marked.
 Demon For Machinery.
 Nevertheless. he stuck to farming until 1887, when he adventured to Detroit to learn something about en-
 zines and machinery, the horseless wagon idea always throbbing in the back of his head.
 Between trips back to the farm Ford mastered the technique of valves, piStons and cylinders, work ing always for economy and rugged ness in his gasoline carriage. His wife, who was Clara J. Bryant, daugh- ter of a neighbor, whom he married in 1888. stood by him and encour- aged him when almost everyone else scoffed at him as visionary who was wasting his time.
 After more than a decade of study and experiment, "Ford's folly" was ready, in his opinion. to be marketed Drofitably. but the shrewd capitalists of the period disagreed with him.
 After three attempts to secure capi = I tai and organize a company had failed Ford finally managed to corral l s1G00oa and organized the present 1 Ford Motor company in 1903. | His success then came with phe-
 nomenal speed. Today the company l is capitalized at s100.000,000. it's as-
 sets are s536.S51.9S9. and it's surplus ] is s359, ,777,59 It's cash reserve now

 plete ownership and control. o O O Has Hundred Plants.
 In evolving cheap transportation I for the masses, Ford has found it
 necessary to acquire, besides his au-
 tomobile plants, a chain of foundries | power plants, coal and iron mines i forests, lumber mills, glass factories ! machine shops. blast furnaces, coke
 ovens. assembly plants and lesser
 manufacturing units in all parts ot
 the country. He employs near 1000 900 men.

LUDINGTON, Mich, July 29-Lud ington knocked her ancient Sunday blue laws for a row of hand painted wax petunias on the first Sabbath of their scheduled resurrectio
 Ludington golfed, :notored, swam drank soda pop. went to the movies and rattled the bones on cigar coun- ters with even more gay and reckless abandon than on other Sundays. It did these things so unanimously, in spite of the fact that each was a vio- lation of the old laws which County Prosecutor Virgil A. Fitch promised to enforce, that nobody made any at tempt to stop Ludington's regular Sunday fun.
 A few people. who ventured out t1midly in the morning, expecting to have to observe all the blue statutes passed in the history of the state, but they soon saw how conspicuous they were and proceeded to violate with enthusiasm. This left among the law observers only Mayor E. M. Hel- lett and County Prosecutor Fitch, whose Idea it was to confine all local Sunday activities to walking and bour, s4-year-old chief of county de- dectives. who wanted to r'teach these reformers to mind their own dam business"
 Steps Taken By Officials.
 Steps taken by officials to enforce the blue laws were:
 The Mayor-Visited all churches and took numbers of automobiles standing outside, with view to pros ecution.
 The County Prosecutor-Scrow at the procession of lawless automo- bile drivers. announced that com plaints would be filed on the morrow and went into seclusion.
 The Chief of County Detectives Hung around church for an hour hoping to spot the automobile of Mrs. Ambrose Knight, chairman of the committee from the Womens Liter ary club, which unwittingly started it all when it urged abolition of Sun day dancing.

EVEN SACRAMENTAL WINE MUST BE PROTECTED FROM

Commissioner Haynes Tells More About Legitimate
 Uses Of Alcohol And Says Source Of Supply Must Be Maintained Because Of Importance In Use Of War

import of intoxicating liquors. Un- der the law, spirituous lhnor may be exported for on-beVera4se purposes or it may be imported if the supply in this country is not sufficient for legitimate needs. Up to this time, the stock on hand has been ample for all legitimate purposes and no import permits have been issued. Many persons have sought export permits, but permits have been de- nied where they have not been able to show that the liquor was to be used for on-beVerage pVTposes. In practice the number of s5Ich permits granted is small.
 The duty of the prohibition unit to safeguard the interests of all these classes of legitimate users is one in volving not the prosperity of the na- tion apne. but the healeh and even the lives of the people. It is not passing duty. nor dim Finishing one. The work will become heavier rather than lighter. Alcohol is an increas .nsly important comm modMy in nation al life. It is constantly applied to new uses For instance. .'it is within the realm of probability that the motor fuel of the future will be largely alcohol.
 In considering the future of legit- innate alcohol, we must co nsider. too. the paramount question '2t national defense. Our military lea. ers tell us that the next war may be one of gases. airplanes high explosives. To all of these alcohol is a prime essen tial. The nation should have at all times facilities for turnirag out an adequate peacetime supply. and such other facilities can be QuSc kly con- verted to the exigencies of defense.
 In that light. it is of httle inn portance that a commodity which contributes to the national security happens to add to the difficulties of enforcing the prohibition; law. 1t can not be otherwise.

 the city to build companion buildings on the two halves of the block, and later on, if our county and city gov ernments are consolidated in same form-like the proposed Birmingham county plan-the two buildings could be joined together. and one united structure would result.
 q am sure the board of revenue concluded that the county or the city, one or the'other. had to acquire the property before any plans could be made for building on it, either singly or as joint building. Activity Around Capitol Park.
 "The board of revenue has had good demon nstration of the real estate e activity in the neighbOrhood Of Capi- tol park, not only have there been many sales there at constantly en- hancing prices, but there Were sales and building developments pending in Block p which, if consummated, would probably have prevented the county or city from acquiring the property for public purposes except at prohibitive prices.
 During the past few years there has been general demand from nearly all classes of citizens that the business district of the city be widened out; that we were trying to do all of our public business, our ,,,.,, I,a, I Iie.i,, l. f,,r T other lines of endeavor in too limited an area.
 Most of those who have studied the subject agree that the best way to accomplish this is to take our pub lie buildings northward to Capitol park. which will have d strong ten dency toward drawing many lines of business in that direction.
 Selling The Court House.
 "The board of revenue has declined to discuss any proposition looking to the sale of the present court house and jail sites at this time. They say the new site will be time enough to consider a sale or a ground lease on the present court house site, or some other disposition.
 Tn the meantime. the rent they will get from the houses in Block 22 will pay fair interest on the invest ment and the county and the people will not be hurt by carrying it.
 Neither would the county be hurt by carrying this investment if it is decided later on that it is best to build the new court house on the present site at Third avenue ant Twenty first street rather than il Block 22.
 some years ago the voters of lief ferson county voted down by an over whelming majority the proposition to put a 10-story court house on the present site on Twentyfirst street between Third and Fourth avenues and I believe they are of the same opinion at this time.
 "The lower half, at least, of suCf a building would be too noisy fol court room purposes, and then again why use the $60O.000 to $700000 site the estimated value of the present location-when a new site can be ob tained for $262.000, which will serv, the purpose so much better from every point of view?"
