The Ford Tudor is built through-
out tothe highest Sedan standards.
The graceful body of all-steel
construction. W indo ws and doors
are carefully fitted and weather-
stripped to insure protection from
any weather. The upholstery is a
high grade, durable fabric of at-
tractive color and pattern.
Of course, the performance is
everything you have come to ex-
pect in a Ford car.
The nearest Authorized Ford
Dealer will gladly show you this
good-looking car and explain the
easy terms on which it may be
purchased.

It is true that organisation has
been overdone in our country, and
that one of the greatest needs of the
land is to get rid of about 75'per
cent of the organizations. The church-
es have so many organizations the
engines can hardly pull the machin-
ery, and the country is honeycombed
with social, charitable and industrial
organizations, many of which do no
greater good than furnish many peo-
ple with jobs. Organization, where
needed, is great and powerful; where
not needed, nothing better can be
said of it than it is expensive. But in
spite of the fact that the world al-
1 ready has too many organizations,
] nothing has transpired recently that
* gave me more satisfaction, or the
| world greater promise of good, than
' the recent institution of another or-
ganization. 1 refer to the McGuffey’*
| Readers Association, recently organ-
ized in one. of the Middle States. Al-
I ready a move is on foot to organize
f .n other States with a strong prub-
I ability that a national organization
‘of ;he same character will soon be in
^existence. holding meetings annually,
with delegates and members in at-
tendance from every State in the
| Union. The purpose of this new or-
\ ganization is to keep alive the lit-
erary excellence of and • the great
(morals taught by the old 'McGuffey
! readers.
I Only a few of the old books are
■j left in the world. I possess a complete
jMcGaffey library, but only a few
I other mortals are as fortunate in this
respect. Several people have recently
j advertised for the old readers, ten-
dering fancy prices, but few

Speaking of the old McGuffey read-
ers, makes me bold to ask why they
were ever discarded for other text
books on reading. Surely, no reader
excels them in literary value, in wide
selection of topics, in morals taught
or in becoming a good reader. There
has been trouble in school circles ever
since these books were discarded, and
surelv no such devotion is or has been
shown any other books or their eon-
tents. When the McGuffey readers
were in use all the boys and girls com-
mitted to memory all the poetical and
many of the prose selections. Read-
ers are used in the schools at pres-
ent, I presume, yet 1 never hear a boy
or girl read, or even speak of the
selections carried by the books now
in use. No one will contend that the
books now used gain the hold upon
the students that the old McGuffey
readers gained upon the children of
long ago, and when the McGuffey
readers were in use from year to
year, there were no school 'scandals
as we have now. Agents of the school
book trusts did not wine and dine the
people’s representatives in the Iwgis-
ature as now, there was no text book
commission to pay, no expensive law
suit* over contracts, there was not a
new set of books to buy each bienni-
um, the price of books did not go
up with each succeeding year, and
there was never such a scandal as the
burning of a mitllon dollars worth of
DON’T RE A MISER
The Treasury Department esti-
mates that there are riOOO misers in
America, who keep their hoardings
merely to gloat over them. Tht* esti-
mate is that $400,000,000 in cash i*
hidden away in mattresses, holes in
the wall, in socks, in various clever or
foolish places, instead of being depos-
ited in safe banks. Money hidden
away and not used is essentially
dead. Much of it is destroyed in fires,
by rats, by the death and forgetful-
ness of the hiders. It’s an utterly
foolish thing to do—to slave away to
earn money, putting one’s lifeblood
into it, and then lay it away to mould
or to be stolen or lost. The only
money worth having is the money at
work.
Our service is pleasing many custom-
ers. Your business will be appre-
ciated—and you will be pleased.
