C. P. FATE TO HEAD C. OF C.

POPULAR HOTELMAN IS CHOSEN HEAD OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Crown Point business men served notice on our sister village of Rensselaer Monday night that we know a good thing when it comes our way, by electing their former townsman, Clarence Fate as president of the Chamber of Commerce for the ensuing year. The annual meeting and election of officers of the Crown Point Chamber of Commerce at Central Music Hall on Monday evening was one of the best and most enthusiastic meetings ever held by this body, and the Organization starts out on the seventh year of its history with brighter prospects than ever. About one hundred business men were present Monday night and took part in the meeting and pledged their assistance. One feature of the evening that was marked was the unusually large number of voluntary renewals of membership for the coming year, with payments of the membership for the full year in advance. •• The secretary’s report showed that much good work had been accomplished the past year, and the financial report showed assets of approximately $1,500, with no liabilities. Cash money loaned to nearly S9OO. The election of officers resulted in the selection of the following men: President—C. P. Vice-President— Jos. E. Browng Treasurer—John E. Fraas. Directors—Charles H. Meeker, A. F. Heide, Otto Letz, P. T. Hand, and Otto Fifield. Following the election a basket ball game was staged between members of the organization, and this this was followed by a cafeteria lunch. The entire meeting was marked by an unexpected feeling of good fellowship and harmony that promises well for a successful year’s work, and with the active co-opera-tion and assistance of all business interests much of the good work accomplished by the retiring officers will be continued by the new, with resulting benefits to the entire community.—Crown Point Register.

GRADUATE 1,000 SERVICE MEN FIRST YEAR

During the first year of its existence, the Ford Service Course, organized January 1, 1918, by the Ford Motor Company, graduated more than 1,000 service men who came to Detroit from Ford dealers in various parts of the United States to learn the proper and most eficient way to repair Ford cars. It is the intention of the company to eventually have every service man and mechanic employed by Authorized Ford dealers come to Detroit to take the course. . Appointments are made through the Ford branches, one of which sends five delegates each day. The time occupied is one month and it is divided between theory and practice. The students are paid by .the Ford company for their time—a part of which is spent doing actual work on cars in the factory. In the present class are 120 students, and every state is represented. The expenditure of $150,000, which was the cost of beginning this course, is looked upon .by company officials as a good investment because it will help to give standard service to car owners. Paul H. Nogor of the Central Garage was one of the men who took this course.—Advt.

NEARLY 100 PER CENT ACCESSIBLE

The adjustment of brakes on the Franklin is not equalled for simpldcity. H" -- ,j. ■ The big majority of cars have both service and emergency brake drums on the rear wheels, one operating on the inside by expanding against the drum and the other on the outside by contraction against the drum. Removal of the wheels is necessary to adjust both brakes. Buying new parts is the only adjustment on several makes. The Franklin transmission brake can be adjusted by anyone without the use of tools. Both foot and hand brakes take up with thumb nuts. The slightest pressue of the foot does more to slow down a Franklin than great exertion on the brakes of most cars. Just as the propelling power is multiplied at the rear wheels through the differential device, so is the braking power multiplied. Also the braking force is divided equally on the two wheels which prevents skidding. - " “Grease on the brakes” is not Franklin excuse. THOMPSON AND KIRK. •’• -'CI I » I——*——•

BENEFITS FROM ORGANIZATION

- ( ; Indianapolis, Ind., January IS.— All of the preliminary arrangumeats have been made by . the officers of the Indiana Federation of Farmers’ Asociations for launching a state-wide membership drive which is to be carried on through the co-operation of the county and township units. Special State organizers will be assigned upon request for different counties and will work through the district diroetors and teams will be formed in every township and county to carry on the campaign for new members. Lewis Taylor, general secretary of the State Federation, has compiled data for a poster which is it be used in every township of Indians. Salient features of the need of a strong organization of farmers are brought out as well as many of the accomplishments gained through presenting an organized front. „ Under the title “Farmers Mr. Taylor points out that they have lost two billion dollars on grain and live stock since August 1; have made all .purchases on a rising market; have felt the power of organized greed in the H. C. L. fight; have been unable as individuals to remedy these evils; know that high paid labor wants cheap food and short days; know that short hours mean less production and higher prices; know that the country needs industrial stability, and know that the solution is up to the farmers. Under the heading of “Organisation” Mr. Taylor calls attention that it saved Indiana Farmers two hundred thousand dollars on binder twine; saved thousands of dollars on wool clip; saved a state-wide quarantine on the wheat crop; forced the repeal of the Daylight Saving Law; forced reconsideration of unjust assessments, appointed a permanent live stock committee to improve live stock marketing; appointed legislative committee to compel legislation in behalf of farmers; compelled improvements in the Indianapolis stock yards, and placed live stock cars for farmers when other methods failed. The plea is ended with “these are facts Mr. Farmer, this organization needs you.” In all of the speeches being made 'by John G. Brown, Everett McClure, Maurice Douglass, Lewis Taylor and William Bosson, state officers, the point is being emphasized that to obtain the best resuits the farmers must present a united front with a strong membership, not in certain section, but throughout Indiana. 4
