odel T Fords t e _ s | FOR nearly twenty years, the Mode! T Ford led the motor industry and it still is used by more people than any other automobile. More than eight million Model T Fords are in active service today—an indication of their sturdy worth, - reliability and economy. | . Because of the tremendous investment which people have in these cars and because so many of them will be driven for two, three, and even five more years, the Ford Motor Company will continue to make replacement parts until, as Henry Ford himself says, “the last Model T is off the road.” _ , | For the Ford Motor Company has always believed that , its full duty consists not cmly in makiag a good automobile at a low price, but also in keeping it cunning efficiently for | you as long as possible at a minimum of expense. : No matter where you live, therefore, you can still buy ; Model T Ford parts with the same assurance as formerly, knowing that they will give you the kind of service you have a right to expect, and at the same time protect the money you have invested] in your car. ' All Ford replacement parts, as you may know, are made ~ - of the same materials and in the same way as those from which your car was originally assembled, and are low in price because of the established Ford policy. So that you may get the greatest use from your Model T » Ford over the longest period of time, we suggest that you . take the car to the nearest Ford dealer and have him estimate on the cost of any replacement parts which may be necessary. You may find that a very small expenditure | will maintain the value of your car and will be the means of giving you thougands of miles of additional service, i . Ol ) . . FORD MOTOR COMPANY

Escape From Danger - Makes for Pleasure In escape from dangers of all kinds we find one of the greatest thrills in life. The small child asks to be chased and squeals with delight as she escapes; small boys skate over thin lce; grown men hazard their fortunes DY gambling, and women risk their repuatations by reading risque stories—all that they may have the thrill of eseaping from something. The stories of universal appeal, from “Little Red Riding Hood” and “Jack the Giant Killer,” up to the highest trageédies, are stories of escape or at tempted escape. [ven our spiritual struggles are dramatized stories ol escape. “The Pilgrim’s Progress” is the story of Christian’'s escape from the City of .Destruction, though the interest is sustained by a.,number ol minor escapes, beginning with the Wicket Gate whereon was written “Flee from the wrath to come” and ending with his tinal escape from the river, which he found deeper or shal lower according as his faith grew weaker or stronger.—Thomas Nixon larver, Harvard Professor of Political ! teonomy, in the Migazine of Business.

Films of Rare Wood ' Used for Furniture

The growing scarcity of the more beautiful and valuable woods has wade necessary the substitution of other and chen%cr kinds. Thus hard ly any furniture nowadays is made of solid mahogany, aund inferior materinls have very generally. taken the place of the disappearing ‘“‘cabinet woods.” Indeed, high-grade timber of any kind is now so costly as to prohibit its common use as the solid body of furniture. Manufacturers are resorting more and more to the nuse of veneers. Articles of furniture, ranging from tables to phonograph -and radio cases, have skeletons of cheap wood covered with a thin skin of high quality wood. 5 Now the skin is not usually: more rhan one-twentieth of an inch thiek. A thousand board feet of lumber will produce 10,000 square feet of veneer. Thus a great economy i 3 obtained, and the furniture so made 'is us atiractive as that of solid wood.

Changing Sin Styles

We people in Junction City wish ‘he idea of sin wouldn’t change so iften. It gets us so that we don’t know where we're at. I’'d be lots more couifortable to know what sin was, so that there wouldn't be any doubt about it, and then we could get wut and fight it. Somerimes, just as we get busy fighting sin -and the ol levil, we find that it isn't sin apy more at all, biit is what everybody is loing. : i : What we peed is stabilized sin. [t’s plumb disgusting to get out and fight a thing for years and then find that it existed omly in our imaginations. We in Junction City don’t want sin changed on us. \We're fighters. We don’t care what sin we're tighting, just so we're fighting it.—Homer Croy in Plain Talk Magazine. :

Eternally Broke

The most common habit we have which makes for distress is the habit of living beyond cur means—not only of monetary income but of vital and emotional emergy. As n consequence we drag our feet threagh life, figurarively and literally speaking. Such men and women have no tlme or @nergy to live because they exhaust heth time and energy in keeping alive. They go through life eternally broke. They can’t get more out of life because they don’t put more into (ife They can’t be happy because they are crowded, pushed. pulled, swamped by countless impulses which ‘have no biolugic value, satisfy no secial needs, and contribute nothing to individual life, bealth or happiness.—George A Dorsey, in Cosmopolitan.

Peculiar “lnsult”

A Hungarian fruit dealer having a very large melon on his hands decig ed to use it for advertising purposes and aceordingly he had the Hungariap coat of arms carved Ipon it with some tuinor variations and thus he put it on show in 'his window. The town ofticials werc thrown into a panic by its presence and saw an insult to the Hungarfan nation. They arrested the poor fruit dealer and took him into court, where he was promptly found guilty and sentenced to a fine er {mprisonment, He appealed his case and the second court reduced his imprisoument to six months instead of a year, but gave him no alternative of a fine. His offense in- each case was insult to the Hungarian nation.

L - Read This ’ "~ The Perfect War Picture ‘The best movie I have ever seen i 3 “What Price Glory?’ I saw it recently but I am perfectly sure that it will live in my memory us the greatest of all pictures. Why? llt’s rather a large order. The humanness of the picture, the humor, the pathos, the tragedy, the bigness of it grips you. You don't just see the picture, you live it. You feel the joy, the charm, the sorrow of Charmaine, the gentleness and the kindness under the rough covering of Capt. Flagg the good fellowship and lovableness under the hard-boil-edness of Sergt. Quirt. . You thrill, over the captain who wants to take his men out of the islime‘ and filthy bloodincss of war, and sigh for the “mother’'s boy,” a vicit.im of the war to which he was so unsuited. ’

i “What Price Glory?’ is a picture I could’ talk about for endless- time. The bigness of it held me enthralled from the beginning to the end, and I shall always class it as the greatest picture T have ever seen. i

New York Central’s Taxes more than $40,000,000

Schools, civic improvements, highways, police and fire protection all along the New York Central Lines cost huge sums annually. Each citizen shares in footing these bills.. So does New York Central, which is a citizen of each community.

This railroad’s duty does not end with its transportation service—the dependable movement of passengers, freight, express and mails. Its contribution to civic progress and prosperity is also of importance. 5 S

For 1927 the tax bill of New York Central Lines was $40,458,648, or approximately $llO,OOO a day. In many communities New York Central is the largest single taxpayer.

It is the aim of the New York Central to be not only a faithful public servant, but a helpful neighbor and useful citizen." : Ll
