FORD WORTH MINT IN 1918
HAD UNIQUE
POSITION

Henry Ford. Americas first bill
lionaire. with enormous assets and a
clear field, occupied an 'incompar-
able position" in the motor industry
in 1913. and Ford stock was good
buy" in 1918 at $4,000 a share. &C.
cording to testimony adduced today
before the Board of Tax Appeals.
Today's principal witness was
Pierce c. Ward, an investment
banker OF Chicago.
The Government, which claims
Ford stock was worth approximately
50 500 share in that year, sought to
break down Wards testimony. by
forcing him to compare Ford stock
with the securities Of other motor
companies.
Ward. however, in explaining his
valuation made on basis of 10 times
the annual earnings of the Ford COM
pany, insisted that Ford's position
was unique and could not be COM
pared to that of other corporations.
Dominated Field
Government counsel sought to
compare the Ford situation with
that of the General Motors Corpora.
ton, but Ward insisted that Gen.
eral Motors is not in as favorable
a position now as was Ford in
1913"
This is without reflection on
Genera Motors" he added Ford
in 1913 practically dominated the
small car field. while today General
Motors is faced with a different
competitive situation.
"A conservative valuation of the
Ford business in 1913 would be
placed at $500. 200. 600"
Genius Built Business
Ford stock in 1918 was a better
buy at 10 times the annual earn
ings than was General Motors at
twice the earnings" Ward said.
That Henry Ford's retirement
from his corporation in 1913 would
have had no aPpreciable effect on
the business was Wards opinion.
He explained that Ford's genius
had built up the company in its
earlier stages but that its policies
and financial position were well
established and that the Gigantic
momentum Of the business would
carry it along" 1t was described
as too big a business to be affected
by~one man.

BERLIN. Feb. 4.-King Ferdi.
nand of Rumania has expressed a
desire to have former Crown Prince
Carol return to Rumania. and has
despatched Minister of the Interior
Octavian COCA on a special mis-
sion to Paris to confer with Prince
Carol.
The report Is to the effect that
the Rumanian peasant party has
served a manifesto on Queen Marie
which is tantamount to a demand
that Prince Carol be recalled to
Rumania and his remuneration of
the throne rescinded,
1t is expected COCA will attempt
to arrange with Prince Carol for a
meeting with his father, and that
King Ferdinand will negotiate for
a final separation of Prince Carol
from his haired amorata,
Mime. Lupescu, as a condition to
Carols return to Rumania.

MOTOR TRUCK SALES
INDICATE GREATER
BUSINESS ACTIVITY

Greater business activity through
out the country is indicated by the
present record demand for motor
trucks shown in the reports of
Graham Brothers, Inc. For the two
weeks ended October %, 1869 Graham
Brothers trucks were shipped to
dealers on customers orders. This is
the largest two-week period for Ora
ham Brothers this year.
While production at Graham Broth
ers plants in Detroit, Evansville.
Stockton and Toronto has been
stepped up several times in the last
two months, orders have kept pace
and those now on hand total more
than $500.
Advance schedules indicate that the
number of Graham Brothers trucks
shipped during October will exceed
even the big total reached in Septem-
Der when 5,107 vehicles went to deal
ers on customers orders. September
in turn showed an increase in ship
ments of 172 per cent over August.
Graham Brothers complete line of
trucks, augmented by the new one
half ton panel delivery car, just an
nounced, has never before proven so
universally popular, Graham Broth
ers statement points out, and as the
present general business activity ga
theirs momentum, new records are
predicted.

LITTLE KNACKS
OF MEAT COOKERY
WORTH KNOWING

Use sour cream as the liquid in
making veal or lamb gravy.
A Glove of garlic tucked into the
joint of leg of lamb gives it flavor
that is different.
Put bay leaf in the pan with
roast pork or praised pork chops.
Ham baked in pineapple juice is de-
licious.
The syrup left from picked fruits
such as peaches or pears makes de-
lieious flavoring for roast meats.
Try pouring a cup of such juices
and cup of water over a roast of
veal or beef.
Serve fried oysters with beef pot
roast and use the oyster liquor for
making the gravy.

FEWER CATTLE AND
SHEEP ARE SOLD

Smaller marketings of both cattle
and sheep are in prospect from the
state this fall and early winter, due
principally to heavy 1926 marketings
that were swelled by drouth condi-
lions in most of the eastern half of
the state and resulted in an apparent
overseeing. Smaller offerings of cat
tie this fall will in part be offset by
better market prices, which in Sep
TENDER averaged about $1.40 a hun
dred higher than year ago, accord
ing to the state department of agri-
culture, labor and industry.
With sheep, smaller marketings
will mean more of a reduction in in
come from sales unless prices i'm
prove. Total value of the dairy pro-
duction, however, should be larger
than in 1926 and the increase in poul-
try production would appear to off
set any price differences compared
with last fall.
Both cattle and sheepmen have put
up big hay crop, have had plenty Of
green feed all summer and have ex
cellent pasture conditions as the fall
opens. Inquiry for breeding stock, es-
pecially in case of beef cattle, indi-
Gates some restocking tendency that,
with indicated smaller marketings this
fall, points to some inventory gains
when the year closes. General infor-
nation would indicate that cattlemen
are now much better financed than in
any year of the postwar period.
