This extraordinary story is not technical work,
but is perfectly understandable to all. The TO
nance of Fords life is SO phenomenal, his achieve
ments SO unparalleled, that they give zest and
authority to his sage uterances unapproached in
the worlds annals
He declares that: Dishonest men do sometimes
succeed; but only when they give service that ex-
ceeds their dishonesty. Honest men sometimes fail
because they lack other essential qualities. "a
man may have to be little more buSinesslike, but
the old endless, exhaustng drive has quit

giving for the first time in a human romantic and
simple manner the economic philosophy of this great man

Zones own employees ought to be ones best
customers" -"High wages cannot be paid to any
one just for the asking. IF all profits were given
to workers, improvements would not be possible"
I'VE are in the great age of transition from drudg
cry of life to the enjoyment of life"
Read Ford's thoughts on the new order of things;
his views on efficiency; his ideas on finance, and
you obtain complete study of economics in new,
understandable form; that happiness of the people
is bound up with industrial progress and, in fact
there can be no true contentment without it

For the first time you have the opportunity of
glmpsng into the workings of mind possessed by
the most successful captain of industry the world
has ever known. In telling of his victories he
points the way to victory for others.
Let Henry Ford tell you the magic formula by
which he carries his gigantic burden-a business
employing 100000 workers, not one of whom re-
ceives less than $500 per day. which, including al
lied plants, provides living for more than 100000

USING 4,ooO NEWSPAPERS
Chevrolet Motors Company Discusses
 Advertising

One of the most important adver- tising conferences ever held in the au- tomotive industry has just been con- eiuded in the general offices of the Chevrolet Motor Company, located in the General Motors building in De- troit. Chevrolet dealers from various sections of the country were called in for two day session during which all phases of the Chevrolet advertising plan were covered
 So satisfactory was this conference in it's contribution of new ideas and advertising suggestions, based on dealers experiences in widely seat tered territories, that plans have been made to arrange regular monthly meetings The dealers will assist in making the Chevrolet cooperative ad- vertising campaign the greatest plan ever produced for any group of retail merchants.
 J. F.. Grimm. Jr, advertising man. ager. presided at the meeting. assisted by members of his advertising staff. Talks were given on advertising art, preparation of copy. direct mail ad- vertising and outdoor advertising
 The cooperative advertising cam paign now under way in addition to the regular national schedule was re- viewed. Dealers learned that through the cooperative plan, Chevrolet adver- tising is now appearing in more than ,000 American newspapers. making every dealer. large and small, a con sistent newspaper advertiser. The vast circulation of these papers, tied up with the copy used in the national schedule. gives Chevrolet a great na- tional coverage and assures uniform ity of the message broadeasted. Aside from the product itself, Chey- rolet officials said no other one ele- ment had done SO much toward in. creasing Chevrolet sales as the coop. erative plan enthusiastically support. ed by the dealers.
 Although 1925 was Chevrolet greatest year. with sales totaling more i than 500 .000. the first three months of this year already show an increase of more than seventy per cent over tho same period last year, and April sales figures promise to eclipse those of the same month in any previous year.

A BIG NEW ENGLAND MEET
Thousands Will Attend National
 Grange Session At Portland

One of the outstanding events of 1926 for New England, and without doubt the largest fraternal gathering that has ever been held within it's bOr- ders. will be the session If the Ma tional Grange. scheduled for Portland, Maine. November i0-ts. IL is the Goth annual gathering of this national farm organization, and will draw attend ants from more than thirty states. in- cluding those as far away as the Pa cific coast. It is estimated that up- wards of 15.000 Grange members will be in Portland at that time.
 The climax of the nine days session will be the conferring of the seventh degree of the order the highest that is given, with an expected class of more than 10000 candidates. At Bos- ton in 1920 the degree was given to a class of 9S3s in Mechanics Building which established new record in the fraternal history of the United States. That this total will be beaten at Port land is confidently expected as special trains will be run from all directions, with reduced rates. while hundreds of automobiles will bring the members from a half dozen states. The Grange numbers more than l7O,0OO members in the six New England states, and 10000 more in New York, indicating the big field to draw from within 300 miles of Portland In New England alone there are more than 1900 local Oranges, each an active community center.
 During the month of October se- ries of special meetings will be held in each of the New England states for working the sixth degree, in prepara- ton for the big seventh degree class at Portland in November, each of these events being made rally ocea- sion to awaken enthusiasm for the six tieth annual convention. The Port land program will be featured by speakers of prominence in national af fairs. while the session will consider many of the big national problems now engaging serious attention.
 The Portland gathering will be made q great rallying point of the ru- raj people, particularly of New Eng land, and will have far-reaehing sig nifieance for the farmers welfare Last years session was held at Sacra- mento, California, so now the organ

THE RIGHT TO FARM BADLY

Three great domestic questions are likely to engage the attention of the present session of the British Parha. ment, and not one of them but will find it's echo in the discussions in the American Congress.
 Great Britain is debating what to do with the coal-mine situation; Co what extent shall government control the production and sale of electricity and how Co aid agriculture.
 In Parliament there will be a elamor. for more drastic control by the government of power and light naturalization of coal mines is certain to find supporters, subsidy of agrical- ture will be urged
 And all these things in one form or another we shall hear from Washing ton.
 The Manchester Guardian (Lib- eral), discussing agricultural reform and the attitude of the Baldwin gov ernment. has this interesting para graph:
 'The same difference arises over the other great problem with which the Government proposes to deal. The Government will have nothing to do with any scheme of agricultural re- form which in any way weakens the absolute rights of private ownership. Good cultivation and adequate wages are not. in the Governments view. a paramount necessity. The mainten- ance of the right to farm badly Is. :"
 Well. why shouldn't the British Government. or any other govern ment maintain the right to farm badly? CT to publish a magazine badly? Or run a factory or a shop badly?
 Is it the function of government to prevent people from doing things badly? Are We all to farm alike in order that no one shall farm badly? And if the government so brings it about that none shall farm badly, will any one farm well?-The Nations Business Magazine.

 During the time of the session the Grange delegates will be taken on va rious sight seeing trips, designed espe- cially to show them points of histori- cal interest. and give them a glimpse of agricultural conditions in the east. Many organizations in Maine are CO., operating in plans for the big event, which will be of distinctive New Eng land significance; and made more at- tractive by the truly national charac- ter of the gathering and the infuen-

It is readily observed that e among so men expressing a specific prefer ence desired family of either two or three children. which according to ac- cepted authorities, is not enough to reproduce the group represented.t It is interesting to note that the number of children preferred bore no relation ship to the attitude expressed toward large families. Even those most lau- ditory in their praise and admiration of the family whose picture was shown. in so far as their own personal desires for two or three children are concerned, are in complete accord with those who disapproved of this same large family. Alike in their own wishes for a small family, the two groups differ only in toleration of those who have large ones.
 It Is clear to the extent that these students are representative of the coming generation of college-bred parents, that families of a size less than sufficient for the perpetuation of their class meet the approval of the group m0res.
 See. for an excellent example of the latter the excellent study by Dr s. J. Holmes in the Journal of Hered. itH, October, 1924.

King Corn Holds Own In
Spite Of Slumping Crops
Diversified Farming In Minnesota
Begins to Show Results-Oat
Loss Is Heavy

st. Paul, Dec. 27-King Corn
held his throne in Minnesota in
1926 in the face of season of
agricultural upsets which reduced
the total farm value of the states
principal crops $30,0O0,O0O COM
pared with 1925.
Finishing with a rating of %. Z
per cent of the total farm value,
corn brought $82, 200 into the
pockets of Minnesota farmers, re-
ports Paul H. Kirk, Minnesota ag-
ricultural statistician.
This is less than S1,OOO,0OO
short of the record 1925 produc-
ton when the corn production to-
tailed 148,896,000 bushels with a
total farm value of $83,383,OOO.
The progress of disersified
farming which has turned Mime
sofa from the old one-crop idea is
reflected in the rating of all
wheat which dropped to a new low
level of 11.8 per cent of the to-
tai farm value.
An S1S,000,000 loss in oats
contributed to the sharp drop in
the states total farm crop value
which in 1926, on the basis of the
farm price on December /, is
placed by Mr.. Kirk at $28S,O53,.
