Yon note it as you open the doors and see the attractive interiors. You find it also in those important little details of trim and finish which a woman's practiced eye is quick to catch. There is about the car a distinctive style or tone which reflects the substantial quality that has been built into it. In external things, as in mechanical construction, the new Ford has been built to endure. Call or phone for demonstration. PLATTSMOUTH MOTOR GO. Geo. K. Petring, Prop.

The stork might make another visit and leave triplets. :o: UNHEALTHY TENDENCY A nation cannot be independent of agricultural industry. More than 150.000 farms, or 2.3 per cent of the total number in the United States in 1920 have been abandoned during the last ten years. So the Census Bu reau just has revealed. There reasonably are, perhaps, causes for this ominous exodus from the farms other than the 'major" fac tors stressed by the Bureau as prop erly to be held accountable for a dis turbing tendency. First, according to the Bureau's announcement, was the gradual but steady transformation of the coun try from an agricultural to an indus trial Nation, and, second, the fact that farming conditions during the last decade have swelled the stream of persons leaving the farms and moving into the cities. These suggestions refer only to "factors," they hold no reference to causes. It is true that the elds in creasing are being swallowed up by the growing cities, but it is not true that this should spell the death of agriculture. A wise government and a wise people willingly never could permit such a calamity. For a decade this Government and people have not been wise. The farmer, and the people generally, should now be aware how terribly and menacingly a single "factor" has contributed to the difficulties and dangers of the agricultural indus try of the Nation. Had prohibition been able to accomplish what was promised for it by its early promot- ! ers there would today have been peace and prosperity in the cities and Ion the farms, all social and economic : problems happily would have been adjusted. Prohibition not only has not fulfilled those promises, but has contributed to vast and sinister de velopments which now particularly depress and threaten the farmer more than any other class in the Nation. But both Government and the re mainder of the people have been hurt grievously hurt. Public con sciousness now is in this respect be ing awakened, quickened. It may be that wist future policies of govern ment and enlarged exemplifications of social and spiritual tolerance may enable the country to return to an estate of social, spiritual, political and economic harmonious rational adjustment. But the task to be es sayed by devotees of right moral de velopment, right social relationships, sane political functioning and patri otic service will be no easy cne. The farmera of the Nation materially could assist in this great movement if they desired to do bo. THE DRAMA OF GAS The development of the natural gas industry in the last few years lis truly spectacular. Twenty-four im portant cities are now using natural !gas. They re: Cleveland, Buffalo, i New Orleans, Columbus, O., St. Louis, San Antonio, Houston, Fort Worth, Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Toledo, Louis ville. Memphis, Dallas. Youngstown, Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Kansas City, Oakland, Denver, Day ton, Salt Lake City, Topeka, and also by Plattsmouth. This list, which might be substantially extended, indicates the far-flung do main of this fuel. It is a fact, too, that Chicago, always alert, will pres ently be getting natural gas from the Amarillo field. We are informed that New York expects to have na tural gas within two years from West Virginia. The number of pipe lines actually under construction, to say nothing of those projected, is bewildering. The country is witnessing a natural gas boom which, in point of values, eclipses many a sensational gold rush, but, somehow, the drama of the thing has not impressed public imagination. It is a drama, never theless, of genuine Aeschylean flavor. But where is all this gas coming from? What assurance is there that the supply is permanent, or suffi cient, at least, to justify the enor mous investments that are being made? Is it practicable to pipe gar. the distances projected and. in many instances, accomplished facts? The question as to supply was hap pily answered a few day,? ago by Lo gan W. Cary of Oklahoma City, pres- j ident of the Consolidated Gas Dtll-J ities Co., in a eonversatic n with a re porter for the Post-Dispatch. Point ing in the direction of the new field on the edge of Oklahoma City, Mr. Cary said: "We have 10 wells out there with a daily capacity of a bil lion cubic feet. That is two and a half times as much as the daily con sumption of natural gas in the whole State of Oklahoma." When one re flects that Oklahoma is pretty large ly a natural gas State the extent of the deposits in this new field becomes understandable. Yet 20 years ago Oklahoma was alarmed about its gas supply. A shortage was faced that threatened numerous and large investments. At that time Dean Gould of Oklahoma University, then professor of geo logy, remarked that, if it were pos sible to go a mile into the ground at Oklahoma City, gas in abundance would be found. The rotary drill, invented a few years later, solved the problem. The rotary drill is the ex planation for the great sources of both oil and gas which the last de cade has tapped. And the rotary drill is not a perfected tool. When a way has been contrived to apply pawer directly to the bit, deep drilling will go into another dimension. Nobody knows, or can know, the wealth of our natural gas deposits. We now have 10 producing states: Oklahoma. Texas. California, Louis iana, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wyoming, Kansas and Arkan- sas. .......1.- ; 1 1 Ha f t ' that family and what new reservoirs will be tapped when two-mile drill ing is an established practice may only be conjectured. But science can now calculate fairly accurately the extent of gas deposits and the prob able life of the field. It is upon such dependable estimates, plus improved construction and advanced trans mission engineering, that capital last year invested $250,000,000 in pipe lines for the transportation of na tural gas from the wells to the hun gry markets of great cities. :o: ME. FORD ON PRODUCTION When Henry Ford discusses causes of depression, as he does in his book. "Moving Ford," and as he has in interviews from time to time, th in formed get the impression that he is unfamiliar with the principles of eco nomics. On tne otner hand, his every opinion on manufacture is sound, and seems to be the last word. As to production he specifies four fundamentals: Make more and bet ter goods as cheaply as possible: strive always for higher quality, but j never lower them, and deliver prod- lucts to the consumer so that he may i benefit from low-cost production and the merchandizing situation . In a few words these thoughts out line the whole theory of successful modern, mass production. uantity output means also quality output and low price. As to buying and sell ing, other economic principles are of course, in play. :o: Whatever the merits or demands of the new British policy in Pales tine, it is clear that the oposition which it is arousing among the Jews in the United States and abroad may have serious consequences for the fu ture development of that country. Under Turkish rule Palestine was a poverty-stricken part of the world. The sedate New York Times la ments "The increasing tendency among our parties and politicians to j announce that they hold their deep- j est conviction subject to a popular i vote." Say, brother, the average pnli- j tician always keeps one ear to the i ground, and he would keep both ears j to the ground were it not for the fact he is so built physically that it is impossible to do so. :o: The month's award for dilemas goes to the New York cab driver who was censured for parking in front of a speakeasy and asked the honor able court where he could pull up his cab without repeating the of fense.
