BEST WEEK FOR
DODGE BROTHERS

Dodge Brothers have again estab-
liShed Il new record for retail deliv-
cries.
During the week ending April 9Th,
1904 cans were placed in the hands
of buyers by Dodge Brothers deal
ers. This exceeded the best previous
weeks deliveries by more than 100
cars. The former record was made
the week of May 7th, 1923.
In making these figures public,
Dodge Brothers emphasize the fact
that they represent actual retail de-
llveries to users, not factory produc-
ton. They have an accurate system
which gives them a weekly check on
the exact number of cars in transit,
in dealers stock and weekly deliv-
cries to users. Deliveries to users,
they point out, rather than produc-
ton, is the real basis for judging
business conditions.
Not only was the week of April 9Th
a record breaker according to the

Has Increased

The increased demand for WHY'S
Knight and Overland closed cars
during the current winter is clearly
evidenced by the announcement from
WHY'S headquarters that
prices on two of its mo t pOpular
enclosed types have been slashed as
the result of Il factory output in OK
cess of all original anticipations.
The ann ouncement states that the
price reduction affect the Overland
Champion model, which has been re-
duced to $685. from $685., cut of $4O;
while the WHY'S Knight standard
Sedan has been reduced 500 to
$lG95 at the factory.
Through this price cut WHY'S
Overland is able to maintain the
Champion model in its original posi-
ton as the lowest priced enclosed

WE NEED LESS OF EUROPE's FILTH

A great deal of caustic comment is printed regarding the
proposed restrictions of immigration, registration of aliens and the
attempt to secure quality rather than quantity of incomers from
the old world. Their arguments, boiled down, usually read "Ameri-
ca should hold out welcome to all; the country is big enough for
all; we are all sons and daughters of immigrants; immigrants
made this country; we need immigrants for labor; to restrict or
register is Czarstc, not American"
1t is true we are all "sOns and daughters" of immigrants; it
is true that the immigrants we have had have done much to de-
velop this country. But as times change, so must methods. When
we needed pioneers, farmers, laborers, tiIers of the soil, we re-
ceived the best Europe had to offer. Not often does such an
opportunity GOMEZ; a new country, a new freedom, land for the
asking. Of course, the yeamanry of Europe seized the chance
and the land, came, went west, grew up with the country, helped
make America, America.
But today good land cannot be had for the asking. The
pioneer days are over. American civilization has grown COM
plicated. 1t takes more than willing hands and a stout heart
to succeed here now. There must be a measure of education as
well. Meanwhile, Europe is an impossible place for the diseased
the ignorant. the uneducated, the vicious, to live. The best equip
ped have none too easy a time; the worst equipped want to get
out-out anywhere-but especially "out to America"
We still need, want and welcome good men and women, whC
can and do become good Americans. But the time has passed
when we can get them only by opening wide the door. The doc
must be shut. to keep out those who hurt, not help, the nation, ant
only put a little ajar for that thinning stream of the best kind O
men and women, who are able to take advantage of the modern OF
portunites of modern America, as their forebears were able t
take advantage of the opportunities of American pioneer days.

"GREENER PASTURES" ONLY A THEORY

That the expression, "greener pastures beyond" is merely a
theory, especially in the matter of the periodic or spasmodic
migration of Montana residents to California, and that men with
good, or even fair jobs, in Montana are far better off to stay at
home rather than to walk the nice, snow-free streets of a warmer
cline without a dime in their pockets or a job to go to each day,
is very cOnvincingly shown in a letter received last week by the
Denton Recorder from Albert Lewis, a resident of Denton, who
went to Long Beach, Calf, in the hopes of lettering his con-
dition, but who found that things were not as rosy as they are
painted in the expensive. $3.50 per inquiry" literature of the
California publicity association.
Work is said to be so scarce in Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle, Long
Beach, San Diego, and many other Pacific coast cities, that no
matter how we'll qualified a man may be educatonaly, he has
to file his application weeks in advance in order to be in line for
even a ditch digging job. That section of the country is merely
OvercrOwded and will continue to be in that condition for a long
time to come, especially in view of the persistent preference given
in employment to native sons"
Here is Mr.. Lewis letter:
"This is a very nice place to loaf, pitch horse
shoes and play croquet, but it all gets stale. l don't
think l would like it steady. The people are arriving
here by the thousands every week now and about half
of them are looking for work or something to do to pay
their way, but there is absolutely nothing here for a
laboring man, and this fact should be advertised through
the east and middle west in order to head off that rush
as there will be hard times for them here before spring.

If you are single and support in
your home one or more relatives over
whom you exercise family control, you
are the head of a family and entitled,
in your income-tax return for the year
1923, to the same exemptions granted
a married person. These are $1,000 if
the net income was $4,000 or less
and $4,000 if the net income was
more than $4,000. In addition the
head of a family may claim a $400
credit for each person dependent upon
him for chief support if such person
is under Is years of age or incap-
able of self-support because mentally
or physically defective.
For example, a son supports in his
home an aged mother and two sisters
IA and 16 years of age. His net in
come for 1928 was $4,000. He is en-
titled to an exemption of $1,000 plus
a $400 credit for each dependent, q
total of $1,000. While he pays nc
tax, he must file a return, because
net income was in excess of $1,000.

''WHY CHANGER

Henry Ford never made a statement that raised him higher
in the estimation of intelligent Americans than when he said "T
am for Coolidge" His name has been banded about by radicals,
third party proponents, and other disturbers of the country's DO
ltcal peace as one of their own number-a potential leader who
would allow himself to be used to destroy conservative government.
But it seems that those agitators have put a wrong appraisal on
the Ford character. His support of President Coolidge stamps
him as opposed to the harebrained schemes of most of the Ford
flatterers. He has refused to be cajoled by their soft words, and
has recognized that prosperity for the automobile business de-
ponds upon prosperity of the country as a whole, which, in turn,
relies upon conservative government as administered according
to the Coolidge standard. So Mr.. Ford laconcally remarks, "Why
changer"
