citizens of the United States have only

become supporters of our demand that
it be removed. In advocating the
cause of voteless Washington from
time to time in various parts of the
country. have frequently had occasion
to observe that our plight is unknown to
wide sections of our countrymen.
Many of them express amazement
at its existence Many refuse to be-
lieve that such an anachronism con-
tinues to be tolerated by the American
people. Many of them proclaim them

salvation. It can only be had at the
hands of Congress. And Congress, nat
urally, will only act when 1t is con-
vinced that public sentiment in the
country at large will support the en-
abling amendment. Even If Congress
should enact the amendment and sub
NIT 1t to the States for ratification, you
are, of course, aware that three-quar-
tiers of the Legislatures of the various
States would require to ratify the
amendment. Only then would it be-
come law, and the long deferred po-
litical rights of the District be granted.
Long Pull Seen Ahead.
1--WE recognize that this means long
pull. But the citizens of Washington
have embarked upon determined drive
to that end. We mean to fight 1t out
on that line If it takes an endless Sum-
mer of Summers, and Winters besides.
We have many friends in both Houses
of Congress who believe in and sympa-
thize with our aspirations. There have
been numerous bearings before the
proper committees of Congress in favor
of the amendment.

in Washington favor national repre-

Importance of the public bodies that

Let me call your attention to few
pertinent facts about Washington. The

nine, of the States. The District paid

IF all the classified Federal workers

from the total population the voting

Plentywood Electric
Changes Location

Norman C. Henderson, manager of
the Plentywood Electric Shop, has
moved his place Of business from the
small building adjacent to the Riba
State Bank to the building next door
to the Kienast Motor Company. The
stock was moved on Friday and Sat
urday Of last week and this week
Mr.. Henderson is very busy in est
ablishing his line in the new building.
He will handle the Thor Washing
machines for which he has the agency
together with the Fairbanks Morse
Home Lighting Plants.
Mr.. Henderson has been in Plen-
tywood for about a year and during
that time his business has increased
to the extent where it was necessary
to locate and display his goods in a
larger establishment.
The other room in the building
which Mr. Henderson has moved into
will be occupied by Bill Lynch, who
will handle plumbing equipment. Mr..
Lynch has had considerable exper-
ience in the plumbing line but up to
this time has had no permanent loca-
tion. This will be a great advantage
in his line of business.

Ford Dealers Will
Sell on Neu Plan
Finance Corporation Organic
ed To Make Fords Easier
To Buy

Mr.. Kienast of the Kienast Motor
Company, Plentywood Ford Dealers
returned June 9th from Great Falls,
where he received details of the new
Ford finance plan.
The new finance plan will be op-
Grated by the Universal Credit Com
pany, an affiliated specialized or
ganization controlled by the Ford
Motor Company and operating solely
for the purpose of financing Ford
Products on a "time" basis. The
branch office serving this territory
is located on the Main floor, Univer-
sal building Fargo, N. D.
This is of special interest to pros
pective purchasers of Ford Products
on "time" basis. Under this au-
thorized finance plan, Ford customers
will have a finance service available
which is sound and in keeping with
Ford policies and standards. The
plan is nationwide in scope and for
the exclusive use of Ford dealers.
1t is another step of the Ford or
ganization in reducing costs by con-
trolling operations from the mine to
the consumer. The cost of this SER
vice will be lower than any hereto
fore available to Ford customers on
national basis, and automatically
reduces the price of Ford cars pur-
chased on "time" payment basis.
1t is a further expression of the es-
tablished Ford policy of giving out
standing values and complete SER
vice to the consumer at the lowest
possible cost.
The plan also contemplates the
purchase by Universal Credit Com
pany of sound and adequate fire and
theft insurance, protecting the joint
interests of the purchaser, the deal
er and the company in the car.
The purchaser receives a policy of
standard form insurance providing
protection for one year. Such polio
les are issued by the Home Insurance
Company of New York, the largest
fire insurance company in the United
States. The policies provide for
settlement based on the actual cash
value Of the car at time of loss.
The Universal Credit Company and
the Ford dealer will work together
in making this new economical Ford
service available to all purchasers of
Ford products on a "time" basis.
The Kienast Motor Company, local
Ford dealers, will be glad to explain
all the details of the plan, which ap-
plies to both new and used cars pur-
chased from Ford dealers.

Kid Mines
Hit Stride
Junior Baseball Club Loses
One, Wins One From
Whitehall

A week ago the smaller boys mot
ored to Redstone to tackle the larg-
er boys baseball nine after a pre-
vious game had been interrupted by
rain. The bows did very well for
their first game and should take
considerable courage from the show
ing they made in spite of the fact
that they were badly beaten. Last
Tuesday the return game was played
at Plentywood. Again Redstonc
held the winning score but the mar
gin was considerably reduced.
Last week the Whitehall boys play
ed the Junior Legion team of Plen-
tywood a five-inning game which
ended to ! for the visitors. The
local boys played very good fielt
work but could not hit the ball wher
a hit would bring in a score. Three
bases were filled several times, but
then the visitors would tighten W
and allow no hits.
Last Sunday the boys retaliatec
for the loss of a game. In sever
inning game at Whitehall the score
ended 7 to 3 for Plentywood. Rob-
ert Bromberg played the short-stor
position well when he jumped tC
pick three fast balls out of the air
and made double plays on two oc.
casions. Frederick Grave, pitcher
deserves considerable credit for hn
work, but was saved lot of trouble
the last inning when the only three
deliveries to the catcher resulted ir
three flies to the outfield, which were
caught by the fielders.
Several more games are in sight
for the Junior team, and it seems
reasonable to expect some interest
ing contests.

Liberty Loans,
Point in History
Local Bank In Folder Tells of
Lasting Benefits To
u. S.

Linked inseparably with the recol.
lections and the history of the
World War are the Liberty Loan
campaigns, which everywhere are
considered as among the most out
standing and inspiring events in the
history Of the United States. This
great rallying of men, women and
children of every class and of every
locality to buy Liberty Bonds and
thus assist the Nation to carry on to
victory has been chosen as the sub
ject around which the current folder
of the Farmers and Merchants State
Bank is written. For, as the author
points out, the history of money and
civilization offers no act of greater
Importance to America and Ameri-
cans than the financial happenings
of 1917-18.
The fact that great sum of mon
ey was raised is only part of the
story. The influence Of the Liberty
Loans is still felt in every part Of
the country, and economists and his
torians insist that it never will be
lost. Bankers point out that few
years ago only small part of the
population were savers, yet, as the
Farmers and Merchant Banks pub
icaton recites, millions of people
who could not or would not save for
themselves showed that they were
willing to save for their country. In
spite of rising prices and other han
dicaps, the Liberty Loan buyers full
filled their obligations.
When the war was over, these
purchasers of Liberty Bonds found
themselves in possession of Govern
ment securities-securities which
for several years now have been
quoted at a premium. More impor-
tant from the standpoint of prosper
ity is the fact that these people have
continued to save and the bank has
become as familiar to them as the
corner stone.
The Liberty Loans Of the United
States, therefore, not only helped the
nation to raise a great sum of money
to carry on war, but they estab
lished a worthwhile habit, the ef-
fects of which still are felt in greater
happiness and sounder prosperity.

FORD MOTOR co.
DISTRIBUTES RULES
FOR SAFE DRIVING
Increased Safety Assured For
Those Who Follow Simple
Rules

As a contribution towards great
er safety and more pleasant driving
conditions on the highways of the
country this summer. the Ford Motor
Company has listed twelve rules as
suggestions to motorists and has dis
trlbuted them to dealers over the
country.
Announcement Of the suggestions
was made today by c. r. Kienast,
Ford dealer in this city, who will
display the list prominently in his
place of business.
"These rules" said Mr.. Kienast,
"are merely common sense As applied
to automobile driving. Every ex-
perienced motorist knows all Of them.
1t is our hope, however, that by
stating them concisely and posting
them where they will come to the at
tention of a great many motorists,
we can emphasize them so as to
make real contribution towards
greater highway safety"
The twelve rules are:
/. Courtesy comes first. Consider
the rights and privileges of others.
2. Keep your mind on your dfiv-
ing, and anticipate sudden emergen-
cies.
3. Learn the "feel' of having your
car under control.
A. Obey all traffic and parking
regulations.
5. Keep to the right, and comply
with road markings and signs.
6. Signal for stops and turns
watch the car ahead.
7. Slow down at crossings, schools,
dangerous places.
s. Never pass cars on hills, curves,
crossings.
8. Adapt your driving to road CON
ditions-rain, ice, soft spots and ruts
10. 1t doesn't pay to take the
fright Of wly' too seriously.
IL. When you drive, remember the
times when you're pedestrian.
II. Know the law. 1t was passed
for your protection.
1T is estimated that 20,000,00O
persons will tour on American High
ways this summer" Mr.. Kienast
continued Recognition Of the rights
of others will be essential. Many
unpleasantries and accidents will be
avoided # motorists, at times of close
situations, will recall these rules and
act accordingly. They are the rec
concentrations of Ford Motor Com
pany offered to give greater peace
of mind to those who travel by auto
mobile"
