TO THE half-million men
and women who have re-
ceived new Fords in the last
eleven months, there is no
need to dwell on the per-
formance of the car.
Yon have tested its speed
on the open road. In traffic
yon have noted its quick ac-
celeration and the safety of
its brakes. You know how
it climbs the Mils. On long
trips and over rough
stretches you have come to
appreciate its easy - riding
comfort. Continuous driv-
ing has proved lUs NxifibiliJ
of operation and low cost
of up-keep.
TMs is an invitation to
yon to take full advantage
of the service facilities of
the Ford dealer organiza-
tion so that you may con-
tinue to enjoy many thou-
sands of miles of carefree,
economical motoring.
The point is this. Yon
have a great ear in the new
Ford. It is simple in design,
constructed of the best ma-

attention. Yet that doesn't
mean it should be neglected.
Like every other fine piece
of machinery, it will serve
you better and longer if
given proper care.
One of the best ways to
do this is to take your car
to the Ford dtealer every 500
miles for oiling and greas-
ing and a checking-up of
the little things that have
such a great bearing on long
life and continuously good
performance.
Such an inspection may
mean a great deal to your
ear. To you it means thou-
sands upon thousands of
miles of motoring without
a care -without ever lifting
the hood.
Ford dealers everywhere
have been specially trained
and equipped to service the
new Ford. You will find
them prompt and reliable
in their work, fair in their
charges, and sincerely eager
to help you get the greatest
possible use from your car
for the longest period at a
of trouble and
That is the
ing that period five hundred and nine-
ty-two wolves have been destroyed;
also six hundred nad ninety-six wild
vats have been disposed of besides
four hundred and thirty-one fox.
During the past year there were
forty-one wolves caught in Mason
County, fifteen of which were grown
wolves, and twenty-six pups, all of
which cost the Club $1,050. Fifty-two
cats were caught during the past year
which cost the Club $29$. This was

a total that has been expended by the
Club during the seven years, of a little
! more than $14,000, and it is figured
that the average cost of each wolf
amounts to approximately $14, which

| twice that amount of sheep or goats in
j one day.
It was voted at the meeting Satur-
day to continue to pay a bounty or.

! The organization was warned that
it did not continue its activities in
a thorough manner, tiiol it would not
be long until the county would again
lie infested by these predatory animals
and each member present will do their
part in creating a wider interest in
the upbuilding of hte organization ly
inducing landowners t ojoin. It was
voted at the meeting to leave the as-
sessment at one-half cent an acre.
This is a very low assessment, and no
