EDSEL FORD issues STATEMENT
ON NEW CAR SOON TO Be PUT ON
THE MARKET TO REPLACE old

DETROIT, Aug. 13.-The following
statement was issued here today by
Edsel b. Ford, president of the Ford
Motor company:
"The new Ford automobile is now
an accomplished fact. The engineer
ing problems affecting its design and
equipment and affecting also its man
ufacture have all been solved.
"But before q single car Of the new
type is offered for sale to the public
each part will have been tested under
every condition which we have been
able to discover in more than 20
years of building automobiles for use
all over the world.
1--WE know now exactly what this
new car is. We have built number
OF these cars and they ha~, been
performing even better than we had
hoped for under variety OF con-
ditions.
eve know also what is NEEDED as
to personnel and factory equipment
in order to produce these new Ford
cars in greater numbers than any
manufacturer has ever attempted be-
fore. The work Of retooling our
plants throughout the country to
prepare for the heaviest production
schedule we have ever undertaken
is now nearly complete.
"But we realize that any new auto
mobile that is to gain and hold
public esteem today whether it shall
sell for $500 or $4,000, must perform
exactly as it is designed to perform.
No automobile manufacturer, in this
day and time, should allow the public
to do his testing and proving for
him. The Ford Motor company can
not afford to permit the automobile
user to discover imperfections in
these new models. ~
"We haven't discovered any faulta
in the finished new Ford car, but
we are taking nothing for granted
If there are any faults they shall be
found and renedied before any of the
cars are offered for sale.
"When the model 7 FORD. car was
designed more than 20 years ago. no
one could foresee the wide variety
of conditions under which it would
operate. 1t did not occur to us thai
the automobile would be expected to
perform as satisfactorily in Alaska
as in South Africa. We knew little:
about the varying effects of climatic
conditions in Boston and in Colon
upon automobile motors and other
equipment. We had yet to discover
that carburetion at sea level pre-
sented one definite problem, while
carburetion at very high attitudes
presented an entirely different prob
lem.
MANY of these difficulties were
first brought to light by people who
had bought our cars and used them
under. those diverse; conditions. THESE
people put their cars to tests which
we could not have foreseen and could
not have duplicated in that day. We
had to remedy faults as they were
discovered by the car owners in

Main Street Not Safe
for Trees, Rules Babcock
Permits for Trees on Streets Used
for State Highways Will Be
Refused

The State Highway department
will follow the rule adopted last
year of refusing to grant permits
for placing Christmas trees or SIM
liar holiday decorations on streets
which are designated as trunk
highways. In 1925 several serious
accidents occurred where commun-
ity Christmas trees had been placed
on streets which carried trunk high
way traffic.
The department has no desire to
discourage the fullest observance
of Yuletide festivities, says the
announcement, but it is1believed
that every town has some more
suitable place for a community tree
than heavily Travelled street.
Many towns have parks which are
better locations for a tree than the
middle of the street. In other
places side street, close to main
street, will serve the purpose well.
A side street can be closed to all
vehicles and thus insure safety to
the children and grownups who
gather around the tree.

School Districts Not -.
Liable for Bus Injury
Supreme Court Hands Down An
Important Decision Friday of
-. ~. Last Week n III i.

Local interest attaches to a de-
cision Of the state. supreme court
handed down last Friday regarding
the liability Of school districts for
injuries to pupils being transported
to and from school in buses. The
local school board has it's drivers
under bond, relieving the district
from any possibility Of damage.
4, A school district is not liable at
common law for injuries to a pupil
which result from its negligent OPP
Grafton of a bus used in transpor-
tation of pupils at public expense,
according to an opinion by the
state supreme court.
It affirmed Judge w. C. Leary,
Of Hennepin county District court,
in sustaining demurrer to a dam
age action brought against the In
dependent School District No. II at
Edna. "
The suit was brought by T. A.
Allen, as natural guardian for
Dudley ALLEN, who was injured
March A, 1926, by an Edna school
bus. The boy was then 10 years
old. Damages aggregating ST.
500 were asked.

Sports
Girls Not to Play

According to an announcement
in the last issue of Main Street
the local high school will not enter
girls basketball team in district
competition this season. The
school paper states, however, that
inter-class games will probably be
substituted.
Last years team, with the regu-
lars including Irene Moynihan,
Reonelda Claseman, Olga Peter
son, Leta Butler, Elsie Boyer and
Margaret Moynihar, was a scrappy
outfit that lost only one game, and
that at Melrose on a questionable
decision. The team also introduced
an innovation in uriforming. The
suits were labeled Main Street
insteadsef Sank Centre and prob
ably for this reason q group pic
ture of the team was reproduced in
the rotogravure section of the Min
neapol;s SUNDAY Tribune at the
close o. the season.

County Road Order Of
1876 In District Court
Mandamus Order Refused by
Judge Roeser Till Regular Civil
Action is Completed

The road order of 1876, which
certain residents of Collegeville
town asked the district court to use
as subject of a mandamus order
to compel the present county board
to order construction Of the unfin-
ished portion of road from Sartell
to Collegeville, is matter for reg
ular civil trial and not for manda-
mus Judge Roeser ruled Saturday
and the case will be regularly
brought at the present term of
court, says Monday evenings St.
Cloud Journal-Press.
The case is an interesting one.
In 1876 the county board decreed
that a road should be built from
Sartell to Collegeville and laid
out it's route. Part of the road was
constructed and the remainder was
never built. But last fall the coun-
ty board ordered that an addition
al portion of the road be construct
ed and work was started on the
project.
Several residents of Collegeville
town, who would be served by the
completion of the old road, then
asked the district court to order the
county board to complete the old
road, containing that the order
which provided for the construc-
tion of part of it admitted the en-
tire obligation of the county to
build the road and revivifiei the
old county board order.
The present county board demur-
red on the ground that the proceed
ings which established the old road
were not properly taken and that
the stretch of road along part of
the route which was ordered last
summer was merely new road
which happened to coincide with
the old road.
Judge Roeser decreed after a re-
view Of the case that the matter
was one where several issues were
joined and that it was a subject
for regular civil action in court,
to review all<the facts, and ordered
that it be tried as civil action end
not ordered merely upon a manda-
nus hearing before the court.

Standards today is 46 cents, an

It is reported that receipts of
eggs, in Chicago, New York, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia from Monday
to Thursday last week inclusive
were 89,910 cases as compared
with 1924 cases same time last
week and 1874 cases same time
year ago. These figures show that
there is some increase in egg pro-
duction at this time. Selling mar
kets have remained steady and
there is a good demand for high
quality eggs. Irregular or lower
grade eggs are meeting with
slower demand and selling in line
with prices of lower quality pro-
duct.

fairly even terms, Brooten benefit

Kaslew sent in the subs to do their
stuff.
For Brooten, Strefelder at
guard, and Captain Anderson at
center, were most effective, Stref-
elder shooting four baskets and
Anderson trailing him closely with
three field goals and free throw.
Thorson, Nelson, Finwall and
Arenson were the others in the Wis
TORS lineup.
Captain Miller was high point
man for Sank Centre, getting four
baskets for 8 points. O'Gara, Lewis
and Peterson each tossed in three
field goals and Mayors, the other
regular, shot two baskets. Kells
and Robischon accounted for the
other two field goals and fluffy
Cliff shared a free throw for the
odd point. Bradley, Barry and

summer the number of associations
dropped to approximately IS this

We expect a reasonable increase.
There are on an average 800 to
$50 cows being tested in each asso-
citation, which makes a total of be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 cows over
the state which are deriving the bene-
fit of testing.
"The dairy herds of the state have
been greatly improved through the
work of the associations. The av-
erage increase per cow has been Is
to 20 pounds of butterfat. The av-
