ONE PROFIT.
Solely as to the new car, Mr. Henry
Ford’s announcement needs no inter
pretation. In this respect Mr. Ford
states what the car is and can do.
Detroit, knowing Ford well, believes
he has told the precise truth as, after
months of intensive test, he sees it.
The final test will be the car’s per
formance for its purchasers on roads
all over the world.
There’s another side, however. It is
in that paragraph of Mr.. Ford’s an
nouncement in which he speaks of his
one-profit scheme of manufacture.
Inasmuch as this seems certain to be
repeated again and again for months
and even years in newspapers, maga
zines and books—to be repeated, dis
cussed, interpreted!, attacked and de
fended—to be repeated and to stand
us Ford’s pronouncement of his re
markable place in this remarkable in
dustrial age—it is repeated here.
“We make our own steel—we make
our own coal—we make virtually
every part used in the Ford car. But
we do not charge a profit on any of
these items or from these operations.
We would not be playing fair with
the public if we did so. Our only
business is the automobile business.
Our only profit is on the automobile
we sell.”—Detroit News 11-29-27.
CARD OF THANKS.
We take this means of extending
to our many kind friends and neigh
bors our hearty thanks for their as
sistance and sympathy extended us
during the recent illness and burial
of our beloved wife and mother.
Geo. W. Baird and family.

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
Despite the inclement weather of
Inst week most of the teachers report
their Parent’s Day a very successful
one. The Patrons and Friends of the
school districts in the County were in
vited to visit their respective schools
on Washington’s Birthday. The after
noon was largely spent in the usual
routine of the school, a short Patriotic
Program was then given after which
most of the teachers served refresh
ments. Many Patrons also reported
that they spent a very enjoyable after
noon, became better acquainted with
the teacher and her methods and felt
very well pleased with their afternoon
spent. I wish to thank Patrons and
Friends of our Rural Schools for the
interest they showed on thJs day.
You would feel very well repaid if
you could see some of the letters of
appreciation which your Uachers have
sent to me. Do not let this be your
only visit to the school this year.
Nothing will please your children
more than to have you come to
school. .
The Holt County Schrool Directories
huve been printed and sent out to the
teachers. One mistake has begn nad#.'
which we wish to correct. Miss Ma,ry
Coufal a teacher in District 44, Cer
tificate reads as a Second Elementary
Certificate, this should read a Pro
