A CHIP OFF THE
OLD BLOCK.
Edsel B. Ford, at 24, is the
executive head of the world’s
largest motor car plant. Al
though he is probably the
youngest executive of the third
largest industry in the United
States, Edsel Ford is not inex
perienced, and three years ago
he had greater power than he
has today.
When Henry Ford embark
ed on his “peace ship’’ in De
cember, 1915, he gave his son
and heir power of attorney that
made him absolute master of
the Ford millions. This made
him the dictator of the Ford
Motor Company, Detroit; the
Ford Motor Company of Can
ada, Ltd., Walkersville, Ore.,
and .Henry Ford & Son, Dear
born, Mich. At that time the
last named concern was just
getting into quantity produc
tion of the Fordson farm trac
tor.
After his father’s return
from Europe Edsel Ford was
elected vice president and sec
retary of the Ford Motor com
pany. He became active head
of the big plant in Highland
Park, Detroit largest suburb,
on the first of December when
Henry Ford started on his new
national weekly. Because of
his love of Dearborn, his birth
place, Henry Ford bought the
old weekly newspaper, The
Dearborn Independent, and
started his publication under
that name in the suburb of De
troit. Henry Ford has care
fully canvassed the publica
tion, field for months, and fi
nally decided on a weekly of
international scope. Not only
will Henry Ford consecrate on
the management of his publi
cation and tractor plant in
Dearborn, but he has editorial
aspirations, and will edit a
page every week in the publi
cation. The editorial head of
the new paper is E. G. Pipp,
for twelve years editor-in-chief
of the Detroit News.
While Henry Ford is leaving
his son in full charge of the big
plant in Highland Park he re
tains his office as president of
the Company. Edsel Ford will
also have jurisdiction over the
policies of the Canadian fac
tory.
For many years Ford has
been grooming his son to take
his place. While other young
men of his age were in college
Edsel Ford was going through
his father’s factory, learning
every phase of the business
from construction to manage
ment. Henry Ford appealed
to President Wilson to excuse
his son from the draft in the
fall 1917, pointing out that
Edsel Ford was necessary to
the carrying out of the firm s
government contracts, as he
was “the second highest direct
ing executive of either cor
poration (Ford Motor Com
pany and Henry Ford & Son).”
While there was much criticism
of the exemption of
Ford, he proved his ability by
the manner in which the Ford
factories performed'their con
tracts.
Edsel Ford married Miss
Eleanor Clay, December 1,
1916, and has a son Henry
Ford 11., born September 4th
1917. His marriage was an
automobile event, as his biide
was a niece of the late J. L.
Hudson, who furnished the
funds when Howard Coding
and his associates organized
the Hudson Motor Car com
pany. The marriage was sol
emnized in the old Hudson
home. .
Although one of Detroit s
wealthiest men, Edsel Ford is
a quite unassuming fellow, and
mingles but little in society. He
takes great pleasure in motor
ing, and enjoys trans-continen
iial touring. After he com
pleted his instruction in the fac
tory his father set a transconti
nental tour in a Ford car as a
post-graduate course. Al
though the yong man had
some misgivings before he
started his long drive, he sur
prised his friends on his return
from the Pacific coast by his
conversion to the joys of tour
ing.

My Dear Sister:
Received your letter on day
this week, and got Missouri’s
one day last week. Will try
and answer them tonight. I
received a letter from Gertie
yesterday. Oh, what some bad
news I got. Sister, it nearly
broke my heart when I heard
that dear brother was dead.
Oh, it is hard to give him up.
How sad it will be when I reach
home and dear George can not
be seen. It has been so lone
some to me to stay over here
before I got that sad news, it
seems that I can’t stay over
here much longer. Now it is
sad to think that I will not
meet him when I come home,
but I hope to meet him in heav
en some day. I know he is en
joying sweet rest. God knows
best, but it is still sad to think
that I will never see him on
earth again. Sister, we must
live a life so that we will meet
dear George and dear mother.
I ill tonight if God was to
call me to die I would be ready
W hat a wonderful thing that
is. Oh, I know I will meet dear
mother and George some day
Kate I would liked to have
been there with yuo all. I know T
it was hard to give dear Geo.
up.
Well, what a lonesome night
it is with me tonight. May God
be with us till we meet again.
I am at the “Y” writing to'
you, at least trying to. I am
no ping to start home soon. I
will let you know when I start
if I can. There is no band con
cert here tonight. I am send
ing you some post cards.
I will close answer soon.
Your brother,
Roy McGinnis.

Dear Father:-
Will answer your letter re
ceived yesterday, was glad to
hear from you all. This leaves
me well and hope the same of
you all.
Well, it is very cold over
here. There is plenty of snow
on the ground here and has
been for sometime and the boys
are shoveling the snow off of
the ground so they can dril.l
Yesterday five of us went out
with a sled and stole some
wood, we only had to go about
two miles. It is some job to
keep warm over here now, and
a whole lot harder to get some
thing to eat. The boys are
sure up against it here. What
we get we have to steal or take
and it is very little to get and
this bunch is wanting to get
out of this country, but we have
no idea when we will get to
move. Can you give me any
idea when we will be at home.
I would like to know.
Yes, I had a letter from my
wife telling me about the wrap
you sent the boy. 1 hat’s all
right but for God’s sake don’t
send him an uniform. You can
send him anything in the world
but a uniform and a gun, that’s
two things he can’t have. But
I am afraid he will be big
enough to shoot crap and play
ball before I get home.
Say what is Ernest West’s
address now. I would like to
write to him. Will close for
this time. Hoping to hear from
you all soon.
Your son,
Charlie McDaniel.
Dear Brother:
I will try and write you a
few lines to let you know' that
I am well and enjoying my
self fine, and hoping the few
lines will reach you all the
same. lam at the Division
Headquarters and cooking for

and are some fine people all

worry about me for I am all
right and in a fine place. Tell
mother I will be with her be
fore long and I hope it will be

down-hearted because I will be

and good bye for me. I will

more when I hear from you.
Your brother,

Last week’s News was a cork
er. Come ahead Mr. editor,
and lets have that showdown
with editor Rucker. We are
betting on the News.
Mrs. Mary Cook was quite
sick last Saturday, having call

this writing.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Ramsey

Mr. William Hunter is very
much improved at this writing.
Readers, had you noticed
how the churches are getting
torn up and strife and confus
ion is dominant? Do you know
what is the cause of it ? Are
you doing your part to keep
down these evils? Who then is
the author of confusion? Is it
God ? No, it is the evil one, the
devil. So then if you have il]
feeling, strife, selfishness and
all these things in your church
and you do nothing to keep it
down, you are serving the devil,
for you cannot serve two mas
ters, and God is not the au
thor of confusion. Also remem
ber, Do not hide your light un
der a bushel for the tree is
known by its fruit.
Mr. William Hunter, a son of
Thomas Hunter of Atlanta,
spent last Wednesday night

As guano hauling time draws
nigh we notice that cotton is ad
vancing in price. Farmers do
not let them fool you about this
and cause you to plant a big
crop of cotton again. By ex
perience we have seen that a
small crop will bring as much
as a large one. A word to the
wise is sufficient.
