All are good and out of them will come some concrete plan for se curing at least a few of the objects sought. One. in particular, deals with the subject of providing an athletic held for the baseball and football games, track meet:', etc., suggesting that by providing adequate drainage, the present ball park would be ideal, d;i to its sandy loam. This particular letter, which con tains much food for thought is as follows: "Dear Sirs: In regard to your re quest for suggestions for the better ment of the community, would like to see the I'lattsniouth Chamber of Commerce sponsor a movement to ward constructing an athletic field that would be a source of pride and pleasure to the city and the surround ing community. With the splendid new bridge and highways leading in to the city, what would be more ap propriate than a good baseball, foot ball and track Held east of the Hur lington tracks In sight of the scenic drive from the new bridge? "A drainage ditch from the sewer and subway leading to the river would prevent flooding, and the sandy loam of the soil which quickly ab sorbs water, would make the old baseball park one of the tinesti In the state. "In the past year, our baseball team has had to play at Murray and was known as the Murray baseball team on account of not having a place to play at home. Our I. H. S. team has been humiliated before vis iting teams by the miserable condi tion and shabby appearance of the home grounds. "We have a good town, a good farming community, a good bridge and good roads, and the best people in the world. Why not a good play ground for the boys? I am sure that with an efficient organization like yours to start the movement, that all would join In and help construct a park that would, at least, compare favorably with other towns of like size. Am offering these suggestions as a booster." Remember, YOUR Chanvber of Commerce wants to hear from YOU as to what you think will he of great est benefit to Flattsmouth practi cal ideas, suggestions and criticism all will be welcome. i prevailing in all quarters Walsh said he expected t li is content" to be reflected in the spec ial congressional 'election in Mass achusetts Tuesday. Says Conditions Bad. In his warning to the democrats not to carry their rate slashing pro gram too far, Senator Walsh said that be j did not mean "that we should vote for every increase that is proposed here; that we should disregard all basic fundamental principles of pro tection and lion protection." He added that while he disliked to say so and was not saying it for politb-al purposes, conditions were de plorable. He said his attention bad been- called to a report in a Hoston that unemployment was worse in that city than at any time in twenty-five years and that one plant in his home city of Clinton is going to Tlose down on April 1. Gillctt of Massachusetts charac terized these claims as "a fine argu ment, of course, on which to elect a democratic congressman in a dis trict where there is. of course, some unemployment." "Ther is unemployment," he said, "but that the administration has done nothing to reduce it is also, it strikes me, a gross misstatement." The lepuhlican senator, who has announced he Vould not run again, said the country is "much more hos tile" to the tariff than it was six month ago. State Journal.

That original purpose has never changed. The constant effort in every activity is to find ways to give you greater and greater value without extra cost frequently at lowered cost. This applies to distribution and similar important factors, as well as manufacture. For the Ford Motor Company believes that its full duty is not only to make a good automobile at the lowest possible price, but to see that there is no waste, extravagance, or undue profit in any transaction from the time the car leaves the factory until it is delivered to your home. It is obvious that hard-won savings in production will be of little value if they are sacrificed later through excessive selling costs. EvTRY purchaser of a motor car has the right to know how much of the money, he pays is for the car itself and how much is taken up by dealer charges. If these charges are loo high, one of two things must happen. Either the price of the car must be raised or the quality lowered. There is no other way. The money must come from somewhere. In the case of the Ford, the low charges for distri bution, selling, financing and accessories mean a direct saving of at least $30 to $75 to every purchaser in addition to the still greater savings made possible by economies in manufacturing. Ford charges are not marked up or increased to cover a high trade-in allouance on a used car. The profit margin on the Ford car has always been fair to both the dealer and the public. "Within the past three months, it has been possible to effect still further economies. Today, the discount or commis sion of the Ford dealer is the lowest of any automobile tlealer. The difference, ranging from 25 to nearly 50, conies right off the price you pay for the car. The business of the Ford dealer is good because he makes a small profit on a large number of sales instead of a large profit on fewer sales. He knows, too, that the extra dollar-for-dollar value of the car makes it easier to sell and more certain to give satisfactory service after purchase. Consider also that the Ford car is delivered to the purchaser equipped with a Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, an extra steel-spoke wheel, and bright, enduring Rustless Steel for many exterior metal parts, in addition to four Houdaille double-acting; hydraulic shock absorbers anil fully enclosed four wheel brakes. If for any reason you wish to buy certain small accessories, you will find that these, too, are sold at the usual Ford low prices. Replacement parts are also available at low prices through Ford dealers in every section of the country. TllESE are important points to remember in consid ering the purchase of a motor car. They show why it is possible to put so much extra quality into the new Ford and still maintain the low price. They are also the reasons why more than 35 of all cars sold today are Model A Fords.

Suffering lift ed Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, who bet. raved nn emotion diirins: an or deal few women could have endured, to the heights of forgivness early to night. Stricken and contemplating the hereafter, she forcave the "pig woman." her chief accuser. Here is the telegram she sent to the Jersey City hospital charity bed where Jane Gibson is dying: "A heart without malice sends you forgiveness." In these words Mrs. liaii, wnom the state of New Jersey attempted to send to the electric chair on the strength of testimony of Mrs. Gib son, forgave those cruel days when the world pointed to her as the sus pected double murderess who killed her husband. Rev. Dr. Edward Whee ler Hall, and bis humble chorister sweetheart, Mrs. Eleanor Mills, in a love tryst. But it is unlikely that Jane Gib son ever will know of the proud clergyman's wife forgivness. For Jane Gibson had lost consciousness when the wire of forgivness reached Jersey City hospital tonight. And physicians did not expect her to re cover consciousness. They said her death from cancer is merely a mat ter of hours. Even if she had re ceived the message tonight, it is doubtful that the "pig woman" would have sent an answer to the quiet, ex pensive room in the -New York hos pital where Mrs. Hall is recovering from an operation for the same dis ease.

"Closely united groups of girls, such as sororities, provide definite organizations thru which the uni versities can work," she asserted. "They get results where appeals to hundreds of isolated girls might prove fruitless." Mrs. Wyman plans to visit the Alpha Omicron Pi chapter at Lin coln Tuesday.
