The announcement made no men

ference, including George N. Peak,
chairman of the legislative commit
tee of 22 of the corn belt, are known
to be the staunch advocates of this ;
measure. i
The farm representatives announc
d they wanted "no government price
fixing, or government subsidy, direct
or indirect." This was emphasized

Nary of Oregon, new chairman of the
senate agriculture committee, who is
Peking to work out a solution of
agricultural problems.
The statement was regarded as in

Community Building Is Filled Witt
Jolly Crowd and Much Inter
est Is Shown.

The annual Fall Festival of the
American Legion opened on Saturday
evening at the community building
in this city with a crowd of 1,000
in attendance at the opening date of
the five day festival of fun and in
terest. The opening night was the best of
the opening nights of the festivals
for several years and gave the big
event a good start toward the pleas
ant evenings that are to follow.
The large and handsome hall has
many booths of various kinds that
offers a fine array of attractive ar
ticles and for the lovers of the dance
each evening there is renewed inter
est fhown in the fine dancing num
bers that will be made a part of each
evening's entertainment.

was a throng awaiting the chance
to get in on this part of the show.

of the festival.

hands of two of the shrewd store
keepers, Claude and "Doc" was giv
ing some real bargains to the public
and their wares will make for a great
deal of attraction as the carnival
progresses.
The blankets, shawls and pillows
that were offered at the booths made
a hit with the members of the Jolly
crowd and all did a fine business.
The big door prize, a Crosly con
sole radio was awarded to Jack Moye,
young son of Sam Moye and which
in the fine winter nights will permit
Jack to get "Chilly" if he is a real
radio bug.

From Mortgagor Seeks to Rid
Himself of Encumbrance
A case involving a nice point of
law was presented to the supreme
court at its Wednesday session. It
is an action brought by W. C. Ed
ney in Valley county to foreclose
a mortgage on a piece of land nov
standing in his name so as to get
rid of a ?4.o00 mortgage thercoa
held by Hans Nel?cn. The defend
ants are also Carl C. Jensen aud
his wife.
During the boom days Jensen
bought 240 acres from Edney, pay
ing $10,000 Ciri. n and giving back
a mortgage for $2'.ju. During the
j period that he held the land he
also gave the 5 1.010 mortgage V:
Xelsen. his son-in-law. When the
pinch came he was unable to make
the payments agreed upon, and
offered to deed ' the property back
to Edney. The latter was agreeable,
but he says that he was net aware
at the time cf the existence cf the
Xelson mortgage.
Edney released his mortgage cf
record, but when he got the ab
stract he found the other mortgage
of record. His action in releasing
his mortgage made good the sec
ond mortgage of Xelsen, and to rid
himself of it he is now asking fore

mortgage good, to buy the land, or
else let it go. Edney won in the
court below.
It was argued on behalf of the
defendants that the action could
not be maintained. When Edney re
leased the mortgages and took title
the lawyers claimed, the lesser title
had been merged in the greater, and
that he now owns the land encumb
ered with the Xelsen mortgage.

FOR
The New Ford
Car is Described
in Full Detail
New Car Is the Result of Promise cf
Ford Company to Give New
Models to Customers. !
After six months of "saying noth
ing but sawing wood," Henry Ford
today announced the specifications of
the new Ford car which succeeds his
famous Model T. A bare listing of
those specifications presents a pic
ture of an automobile that in per
formance, appearance and mechanical
features has heretofore been associat
ed with a considerably higher price
class.
Unusual speed and acceleration
are among the outstanding features
of the new car. It is announced as
being able to make 55 to CO miles
an hour, with ease. In recent tests
it has made even more without dif
ficulty. What is more important, it is
stated that when traveling at such
speeds, it holds the road easily, and
with comfort to driver and passen
gers. It is also stated with equal
positiveness, however, that ft per
forins in an equally spectacular man
ner on bad roads. In its design, Mr.
Ford has held to his original idea
of a car which can meet all condi
tions and types of roads.
Appreciating the constantly in-;
creasing acceleration, the Ford Motor
company has given a great deal of
study to this feature of the new car. j
In high gear tests with two passen
gers in a Tudor sedan it has shown
an acceleration of from 5 to 25 miles
an hour in S1 seconds.
The new Ford car also introduces ;
a new type of four wheel brakes. ;
An exclusive Ford development, they .
are of the mechanical, shoe-expand-,
ing type, and are self-centering. The
brake pedal and the hand brake each
operates all four brakes. It is stated
that this is the most reliable and
simplest type of four-wheel brake,
and also the easiest to adjust, all ad- j

An engine that is practically vib
rationltss develops 40 horsepower at
2.200 revolutions per minute. This

o .evu.uuu,. P-u .. .auuu u,
high horsepower is illustrative of
the unusual efficiency of the engine.
Also, it means longer life, the lower ,
engine speed insuring less wear on ,
speed is also a substantial factor in
lessoning vibration. The bore is 3
7-8 inches, stroke 4 inches. The!
unusually large crankshaft, which is
both statically and dvnamieal'v bal -
ancing, combined with the lightness
of aluminum alloy pistons, further
combine to reduce vibration and in
crease riding and driving comfort
and safety.
In addition to freedom from vi
bration, it is announced that the car
is unusually quiet, a great deal of
attention having been paid to this
feature by the Ford engineers. In
the engine, the timing gears are made
of a bakelized iabric. wnicn is mucn
quieter than metal. The cams on the
crankshaft have been so designed as
to prevent valve clicking.
The coachwork of the car is as
j distinctive as its performance. There
I is a noticeable European touch in
line and contour. It is not only de
signed for exterior beauty, but has
as well the interior roominess, con
venience and luxurious appointments

diator. From 20 to 30 miles to a gallon
of gasoline, depending upon driving
speed, is the gasoline consumption
announced. Feed to carburetor is by
gravity.
The oiling system, also a distinc
tive Ford design, is a combination of
pump, splash and gravity feed. The
new transmission is of the selective
sliding gear type, with standard
shift, three speeds forward and one
reverse. The main shaft runs on ball
bearings, a power-saving design un
usual 011 light cars. Shifting of gears
is noiselessly and easily accomplish
ed, at the pressure of a finger.
Multiple-dry-disc clutch, rear axle
of three-quarter floating type housed
in electrically welded steel, an spiral

. tures. The axel shafts carry none of
the weight of the car, the wheels
running on rollar bearings on the
" housing. Newly developed springs of
