Foreign AdvrrtisinK Representative THIE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION ] McDonough, Ga., April 22, 1921 Few men ever quite live up to their reputation —or down. Germany continues to fill the allied eye, but not the allied pocket, The richest man in this world is the one who is most contented with his lot. Now that silk shirts are within the reach of all, the rest of us prefer cotton. The time is opportune both for gardening and fishing. The wise man will do both. Now that we are short on booze there is no reason why we can’t be long on snooze. Self-made men are not always able to cover their defects with tailor-made clothes. The fact that a fellow is married is not proof conclusive that he is the head of a family. Important! Congress is at it again—but congress has been at it before, and we survived. Some people are so contrary they are always looking for the worst and getting the best. Any one can afford to eat eggs now, but the hen finds it just as much work to produce them. The fellow who speaks of the better days he has seen generally forgets to mention the nights. Hard times have hot Egypt, and if that doesn’t satisfy them they are welcome to some of ours. The fellow who put the jaz into music is in a class by himself. He created nothing out of some thing. _____ Dear old congress, having resur rected itself, will now proceed to do a little something and a lot of nothing. Some of the modern gowns for women should not be expensive. There isn’t much to them exctpt the price tag. The little Jap still clings to little Yap, and personally we don’t care a rap. And yet the Jap may find Yap no snap. Speaking of high brow parties and low neck gowns, a local oracle arises to whisper that often there is no neck at all. Occasionally we run across a sport who truthfully admits that he knows everything except what he doesn’t know. If congress is unable to stir up anything exciting we might turn to professional baseball for a thriller —and a smeller. Postmaster General Hayes wants his postmasters to keep in touch with what is going on in their communities. Some of them do.

Some FACTS About THE UNIVERSAL CAR Here are authentic figures from the Ford factory at Detroit. They show you just how many Ford cars and trucks have been built each month sirjce Janu ary I, 1921, and how many have been sold to retail customers in the United States. Delivered to Produced Retail Customers JANUARY 29,883 57,208 FEBRUARY 35,305 63,603 MARCH 61,886 87,221 Total Production 127,074 Total Retail Sales 208,032 showing that actual sales for the first three months of 1921 exceeded production by 80,958 Ford cars and trucks ! April requisitions already specify 107,719 additional cars and trucks and the estimated April output of the factory and assembly plants combined calls for only 90,000 ! These facts clearly show that the demand for Ford products is growing much faster than the manufacturing facilities to produce and were it not for the dealers' limited stock, which are now being rapidly depleted, many more customers would have been compelled to wait for their cars. It will be only a matter of weeks, therefore, until a big surplus of orders will prevent anything like prompt deliveries. If you would be sure of having your Ford car or truck when you want it, you should place your order now. Don't delay. Phone us or drop us a card. TTlvlam IS GO. M’DONOUGH, GEORGIA.

So he grabbed a Camera and Hastened to the Scene. But he ran out of film at a critical moment. And he was Out o’ Luck! Some motorists there are who take a chance with a battery that has no reserve power. And some day they will need a start to pull their motor out of a stall, and the starter will report: "Nothing doing” ! The Prest-O-Lite Battery uses less than one four hundredth of its power-reserve for a single start —and the generator quickly replaces that. Stansell & Rape Garage. PB2I-4MA
