THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford One Ton Truck is one
of the sure business utilities, and
likewise just as big a necessity on
the farm. Farming is surely a bus-
iness proposition wherein success
depends upon economical methods
with up-to-date machinery. The
Ford Truck will prove a great econ-
omy on the farrm. The marvel is
“how the farmer has got along with-
out it all these years.” It is a
servant that serves, always ready
and always economical. Price $550
without body, f. o. b. Deetroit.

The Community House sustained
its reputation as a social center Sat-
urday afternoon when the audito-
rium was converted into a Japanese
tea garden for the first community
reception given by Mercedes com-
munity service.
The walls of the room were cov-
ered with palm branches which were
also effectively draped around the
pillars in the center of the room
while many Japanese lanterns of all
colors were suspended from the ceil-
ing. On the platform the combina-
tion ofi bunting, vases of cut flowers
and vines made ani attractive back-
ground for those who took part on
the program. The tea table, at
which Mrs. Amzi Stuart and Mrs.
J. L. Vining presided was attractive
with tall vases of cut flowers and
silver trays which held fancy cakes
and confections.

E. Lee. Mrs. Daniel Van Voorhis,
Mrs. G. M. Peabody, Mrs. J. F.
