Why not do something for the overprivileged child? :o: A farm is a body of land entirely surrounded by politicians. : o: With too many people an open mind is one laid open by a brick. : o : The fellow who doesn't get down to business never gets up in the world. :o : People who complain of a lack ci elbow room usually know how to elbow their way in. :o: Suggested motto for motorists: , Drive slowly and ee the world; drive j fast and see the next world. If it were only to bring young onions that it came, we'd never put out a welcome sign for spring. : o : If a Little Boy Blue came to blow j his horn today, chances are the traf- j BC cop would ask, .'What's hurry." : o : Nero must not have been as bad as tradition painted him. Many noble dogs have been named in his memory. The new Ford is an economical ear to own and drive iotr first cost,, low cost of oper ation and up-heep. anel low nearly depreciation mean a distinct saving to every purchaser THE NEW FORD is a splendid car to own and drive because of its attractive lines and colors, safety, com fort, speed, reliability and long life. There are, in addition, three other features of importance to every far-seeing aulomobiie owner ... low first cost, low cost of operation and up-keep, and low yearly depreciation. During the life of the car, the day-hy-day economy of owning a Ford will amount to considerably more than the saving on the first cost. You save when you buy the Ford and you save every mile you drive. The reasons for this economy are simplicity of design, high quality of materials and care in manu facturing and assembling. Many vital parts arc made to limits of one one-thousandth of an inch. Some to three ten-thousandths of an inch. Throughout, the new Ford is an outstanding example of fine crafts manship in automobile engineering. The more you see of the new Ford the more you talk to Ford owners and experienced mechanics the more certain you become of this fact. ... It brings you everything you want or need in a motor car at an unusually low price. L it W PRICES OF FORD CARS 430 to 630 P. O. B. Detroit, plus freight and delivery.

Tut New Ford Tudor Sedan A STRONG RELIANCE On February eighth to fourteenth will be observed this year the com ing of age of the Boy Scout organi zation in'America. It is just 21 years ago that the Bey Scout program be came a national movement. A for tunate day for America it was when i jthis impulse for the development and I preservation of character, manhood j land patriotism knew its origin. ".. kaii .. . V, .1 . 1. .. i! c uaic niiiiueu L II tr ui ga II JZ.U nun grow in strength and usefulness, we have lived to see it one of the strong est factors for good in the national life; we have lived to see it esteem ed an honbr to others to be permit ted to wear the insignia of the move ment. Now mothers of Boy Scouts may wear a miniature pin corres ponding in rank to that worn by the Scout son. In no other sing?e organization bent upon the preservation of Amer ican tradition and ideals will be , found the sincere devotion to and row, remain true to the cardinal doc trines of the faith they pledge, noth ing can go wrong with the Nation. The organization is the country's strong reliance. It is molding and giving to us citizens who will per- I PetuaT-e the principles of freedom and f""W. of health and character. On this birth anniversary of the or- ganization all good Americans, many of whom were Scouts in their youth, extend felicitations aad acclaim. :o:- PICKUP IN MANUFACTURING Chairman Woods of the Hoover employment committee frankly de clares that there will be no decided improvement in commerce until spring, yet he urges employers to an ticipate acceleration by men to work right now. Employment is better :han charity, as the man who works is able to pay bis way. As a matter of fact, there has been a pronounced revival in industry in the past week or two, and many thousands of persons have gone to work in different parts of the land. January and lemuary always are dull, coming between the winter and spring trade, but resumption of work in many factories a taw weeks ahead .of schedule indicates that February will probably be better than usual. 'One thing is certair . This is that business will take on normal momen tum at the beginning of spring, and we shall all be pretty busy all of this year? : o : We wonder if England's two royal ; drummers have a good supply of yarns about the two Irishmen and other old favorites. : o : Pining a man for shooting a wolf . out of season and paying him a bounty for killing the same wolf is law and order plus. :o: I Add similies: Felt as unnecessary as the man who was installing bul : let-proof glass in the Gorham. III., bank when the bandits called. :o: It is said that the sound of New York is tenor and that Chicago bass, probably due to the heavier caliber ;of guns used in the latter city. :o: The grapefruit is not. as often sup posed, a hybrid development by cross ing other fruits. It is a native of southwestern Asia and island of that coast. :o: Just by way of ending this fish ing thrc.ugh the ice controversy, why not have the state dD the fishing and distribute the catch to those whoUnited States is painfully apparent. neec) jt lit is extremely interesting to notice -: o : - You don't hear people complain so much of the smoke nuisance in the case of factory crimneys that have started puffing again after a con siderable period of idleness. :o: Gasoline taxes accomplish three things. They add to the tax burden of some millions of people, build and maintain highways and provide thesi providence during the last two only yardstick by which the annual j years. In addition. 400,000 have been wear and tear on the nation's roads is;nlr1 into slaverv can be measured. :o:- Prof. Irving Fisher has read every word of the Wickersham report and is delighted with the happy results it accredits to prohibition. But those results fall short of the six billions a year which the professor extracted from the cause by something pretty close to six billions. :o: Today's building dollar will pur chase $1.10 to $1.20 of house as com pared with the purchasing power of the same monetary unit just a little over a year ago. This may seem a bit startling to the average home build er, but the facts underlying the situ ation are a normal phase of the pres nt period. OUR INDUSTRIES ABROAD The rapid expansion of American industries abroad naturally has brought some difficulties, particular ly where they ventured into coun tries without a sufficient adjustment to the very different conditions there. The result is that in many cases Am erican industries abroad have been wholesome in their impact on for eign economic life, while elsewhere political friction and economic loss have followed. The attempts of several motor car makers, for example, to build cars in Europe, the Orient and Australia, have been exceptionally profitable and have had the special merit of improving the wage scale of several countries. This is due to the appli cation of American manufacturing technic to foreign centers where In dustrialization already was accept ed. But the fate of other experiments in the tropics has been very differ ent. American methods do not suit the steaming jungles of South Am erica and Africa. And a too sudden clash of industrial methods with the historic leisure and laxity of the tropics has bred political discontent. Indolent black tribesmen may be in duced to punch time-clocks for a few days, with promises of high wages, but the novelty of the time clock soon wears off. Foreign industrialists entering a "backward" country csnnot enforce the labor of natives, as local agen cies might. Neither can they en tice natives into daily toil by prom ises of luxurious wages, for those peo ples have less concern about money than about leisure. Life is too pleas ant, they feel, to spend it working. A policy of compromise between American efficiency and tropical in dolence surely would have avoided the charges of forced labor brought against an American firm in Africa and the rebellion of native tribes against American entei prises tB Peru and Brazil. ; :o: NAMING A BRIDGE Now that the first bridge across the lower Hudson is nearly complete. New Yorkers are in a quandary. The bridge must have a name. Unwilling to accept the nonchalant standards of those gentlemen who find name? for Pullman cars, and equally un willingly to let the bridge name it self through' the gradual process of popular usage, the Port authority, flanked by the press and civic groups, spends long hours in cerebration. Already it is being called the Hud son River Bridge, but ambitious name-makers are not content. It must memorialize someone or some thing. A good reason must be found for calling it whatever it is to be called. From George Washington and a bevy of Generals and Colonels who served under him, suggestions range down the gamut of history. Besides these historical suggestions, there are cognomens based on the land marks thereabouts, and purely em pirical titles grounded in the fact that the bridge connects New York and Jersey. Rather than to accuse cf indulg ing in purely destructive criticism, one might recommend that the now nameless span be called the Gateway to the West for the satisfaction of those surviving New Yorkers who are positive that beyond the Hudson is only a drab stretch of Main Street towns, Indian reservations and auto mobile factories. : o : THE OLD AND THE NEW The effects of the crop failure of last summer in many parts of the what happens when a similar crop failure hits a land that has no relief organizations, no modern transporta tion systems and no methods what ever of providing help for the suf ferers. Thus a government commission in China has recently reported that more than 2,000,000 people have died of famine, caused by drouth, in Shen- The American famine is a major problem, but it is not even remotely like that horror. The demonstration of the value of modern forms of transportation, communication, and organization is obvious. :o: President Hoover might send word to the Senators that he will not veto their plan to give $25,000,000 of Un cle Sam's money to the Red Cross if each of them will agree to give half of his own salary for the year of the same course, and see what happens. Somebody would move to adjourn P. D. Q. :o: Classical circus clowning died with Jules Tumour, we read. We doubt it, as long as the Senate lives. Harness $45 iy2-Inch Harness Oiled . .$1 Win.
