quickly as possible and maintain the momentum of the buying power of the country.
Henry Ford says: “The war is over and it is time war prices were over. There is no sense or
wisdom in trving to maintain an artificial standard of values. For the best interest of all it
is time a real, practical effort was made to bring the business of the country and the life of
the country down to regular pre-war standard.”
We are at your command with regular Ford efficiency in service and eagerness to fill your orders

Sailors Supe-st.tions, j
Time was when sailors would not:
think of sailing without a charm or j I
pocket piece of some kind to ward off
bad luck. Wind beads were a favor
ite and in nearly every port were
maidens to sell them. ;
Tattoos were considered essential
for bon voyage, especially the butter- 1
fly on the shoulder predominated for
good luck. A pig tattooed on the foot j
was assurance the man would never
drown. and sailors say not a man is
known to have drowned if he possess- !
ed rids significance of charm against j
And so the old sailor, by the hour,
could spin yarns and point to strange '
fate inexplicable disaster always laid !
at the door of superstition.

Work Together to Take Fish.
The best example of company fish
ing is furnished by some of our North j
American freshwater pelicans. Flocks!
of 30 to 50 pelicans may sometimes be j
seen fishing in tiie very shallow wa
of lake shore ,
ters a or drying river. j
Thev spread out in a thin semi-circular
skirmish line In the water a few inches
deep and then advance with flapping
wings toward ^still more shallow wa¬
ter, driving schools of frightened
fishes tyofore them. Soon the 'fishes
are so crowded the pelicans can wade
in among them and scoop them up in
the great pouches beneath the beaks.
Such dipnet fishing Is very effective.

THE SMALL COUNTRY EDITOR.
Consider the country editor. He
weareth purple and tine linen. His
abode is amongst the mansions of the
rich. His wife hath her limousine, and
her first-born sportietli a racing car
that can hit her up in forty flat.
Lo ! all the people breaketli their
necks to hand him money. A child is
born unto the wife of a merchant in
(lie bazar. The physician getteth 10
golden plunks. Tb e editor writteth a
stick and a half and telletb the multi¬
tude that tiie child tipped the beam at
nine pounds. Yes, he lietli even as a
centurion. And th e proud father giv~
eth him a Cromo.
Behold, the young one groweth up
and graduateth. And the editor put
teth into his paper a swell notice. He
telleth of th e wisdom of the young
woman and of her exceeding comeii
,iess ' L5ke T unto the msPS of * ro

getteth twoscore and four iron men.

daughter goeth on a journey,
And the editor throweth himself on
the story of a farewell party. It run
noth a column solid And the fair one
vemembereth him from afar with a

Behold, she returneth and the young
of the city fall down and worship. She
picketh ou» and lo. she picked a lera

of tbe most promising young men and

Flowers and long is the wedding no

minister gettetli 10 hones. The groom
standeth the editor off for a 12-month j i

All flesh is grass and in time the 1
wife is gathered nnto^the soil, Tiie
minuter getteth his bit. The editor
printeth notice, two columns of obitu-1
ary. three lodge notices, a cubit of
poetry and a card of thanks And be

And all that are akin to the deceased

great jumps. And they pulleth out
