THE NEW FORD Everything you want 01 need in a motor ear THE more yon see of the new Ford, the more you realize that it brings you everything you want or need in a motor car. And at an unusually low price. Its substantial beauty of line and color is ap parent at a glance. Long, continuous service em phasizes the value of its simplicity of design and the high quality that has been built into every part. The new Ford accelerates quickly and it will do 55 to 65 miles an hour. It is an casy.riding car because of its specially designed springs and four Houdaille double-acting hydraulic shock absorb ers. It has fully enclosed four-wheel brakes and the added safety of a Triplex shatter-proof class windshield. Operation and up-keep costs are low and it has the stamina and reliability that mean thousands of miles of uninterrupted serv ice. See the nearest dealer and have him give you a demonstration ride in the new Ford. Check up every point that goes to make a good automobile and you will know it is a value far above the price.

The Journal believes that we voice ithe sentiment of the entire Chambe of Commerce, when we say "Well Done Thou Loyal and Faithful Citi zen." and regretting the fact that Mr. Wescott is retiring from the position, we want to extend a hearty welcome to the new president, Mr. H. A. Schneider, whom we know will ever be found in readiness for whatever task may come his way. and we pre dict under his reign one of the most successful years in cur history for 1931. :o: CREATIVE LISTENING It was an idea of the old Greeks that children should be tausht music, not in order that they might play or sing, hut for the cultural values i in apprec iating the performances or others. To listen well is in itself an attainment, and for the rank and file 'of us is of far more importance than anything we can do at the piano or !on the violin- But many who have ears do not hear, many who find a certain light pleasure in the "con cord of sweet sounds" miss the deeper (and rarer joy of music its magical j meaning, its life-giving power. They carry away little from a convert be cause they bring little to it. and then days and nights are poorer in con- ! sequence. Culture of the emotions to the end that they may find satisfaction in what is enlightenimr and ennob ling rathei than in the tawdy or low and to the end that life especially in hours of leisure, may be full and free, is a peculiar need of our timer. The best antidote against cheap or . vicious amusement is a taste for true are. which comes as a minisier ing angel to that part of ourself which feels and which hungers for more than bread. Herein is the great , mission of music to those who can listen creatively .music which comes home to millions and brings the soul of the masters to the fireside. :o: Crooning is becoming noticeably dejected. Or, perhaps, it is merely a common cold that has settled in the saxophone. :o: The best thing about a lot of charity we've heard about this win ter is that it wasn't charged up to publicity. :o:- You can say one thing for a bear : market. It doesn't tempt the boys to make a killing without the com pany's money. :o: We presume that even Dr. Einstein I occasionally discusses with others , how many miles his car gets to the gallon of gas. : o: It is in the news that the Soviet Government has gone into business in competition with the fast-disappearing private trader. :o: Only 7 of the 21 American repub lics pulled off a revolution In 1930. Considering the opportunities this is a mighty poor showing. :o: All war scares centering upon Germany are hereby put at rest. No nation can be feared which creates fur-trimmed spats for men. :o: Jack Dempsey is reported to get $2,500 for every bout he referees. He probably finds it easier to make hay this way than swing haymakers. :o: Any prosecution that involves poli tical considerations is seriously han dicapped when conducted by local prosecutor in local courts. The politi- ;cal influences are too powerful. Fed eral courts in general escape such political pressure.

It probably is lucky the dame who totes around an expensive puip with ja French name didn't have a son, for slifj',1 nrnhiihlv named him Percv The trouble with some girls' foot wear is there is too much feet to go In it. and with their clothes that there is too much girl for them. To the wedding guests the groom often looks like going back to put ting on her own galoshes as soon as the honeymoon has checked out. Men haven's so much room to talk. If short pants were the fashion they'd spend as much, if not more, than the women did for silk hosiery and treatments to either reduce or enlarge their calves. A lad today who is really making good is one whose sweetie can give up her job when they get married. The woman with a handsome hus band knows the one with a homely one doesn't know what worry is. :o: USING LESS COAL There was a decrease of 64.000, 000 tons in coal consumption dur ing the first months in 1930. as compared with the previous year. As December is one of the eoldesl months when figures are available for the entire year it will probably show a consumption nearly 75.000.000 tons less than for 1929. Several factors have contributed to this condition, which is causing leaders in the coal industry much un easiness. Among the contributing factors are greater efficiency in the burning of coal by large consumers. competition of fuel oil and natural gas, efforts of the Canadian govern ment to substitute coke for anthra anthracite to bituminous operators, development of water power, and increased production of coal in for eign countries. Industrial and busi ness depression have, of course, play ed a part in cutting consumption nearly 75.000.000 tons within a year. :o: If the bridegroom is a "perfectly wonderful dancer," they will make their home with the bride's parents.
