SWAIN ENDS LIFE WITH CARBOLIC ACID M. A. Swain, stock raiser and ex tensive land owner of Ewing, com mitted suicide at that place Wednes day by drinking carbblic acid. He was 35 years ola. Financial difficulties are believed to have been the cause, al though he left a note to his sister, Mrs. Etta Possen, with whom he lived, indi cating that failing health prompted him to take his life. Mrs. Possen was away from home at the time and found the dead .man on her return. He was born in Ewing and had lived there ever since. Until the recent money depression Mr. Swain was quite comfortably fixed, but it is understood that recently he suffered heavy losses. He also left a note to the undertaker* Carl Jaco, requesting that no inquest be held and maintaining his Irish wit to thejast, instructing the undertaker that ifne had no casket large enough, to have one made. The note to the undertaker read: “Carl: ‘‘Do not hold an inquest over me. Get it over with as soon as possible. If you have no casket large enough, j have Jim Anderson make or.e.” He is survived by five sisters. Mrs. Etta Possen, Mrs. Will Biddleton and Mrs. Ed Wilke of Ewing and Mrs. E. Snyder of Wyoming, and Mrs. Hous ton of Montana. County Attorney J. D.

Interesting Facts 105,799 Ford Cars and Trucks Retailed in f * , , v -V I . • , * *• " ' December > Approximately the same number scheduled lor delivery in January ' . fh. j What Does This Mean? This volume of deliveries to actual owners is entirely unprecedented for this time of the year— It has taxed the manufacturing ability of the Ford plants working at full capacity— • F It indicates a Volume of business during the rapidly approaching months of “heavy demand” which will be far beyond the maximum production schedule which the Ford Motor Company has set— And that means a Ford shortage even more acute than the one which ex isted last Spring and Summer. Dealers stocks all over the country are low—there are no reserves to draw upon to meet the demands for delivery— There is no way in which dealer reserves can be built up, as deliveries have been made to customers as fast as Cars could be manufactured since last April. The only way you can protect your desire to obtain prompt delivery of a Ford even at this time is to place your order immediately. * This emphasizes more strongly than anything we could possibly say the necessity of your making prompt arrangements with a Ford Dealer for the listing of your order, particularly if you are contem plating the purchase of a Ford Car or Truck for use this Spring or Summer. * We believe you are entitled to know these facts as they actually exist.
