FORD SERVICE
We have recently employed additional mechanics on account of
the large increase of business in our repair department and are now
better prepared to serve Ford owners.
Our men are all experts on Ford Cars and have spent years in
repairing and overhauling Fords. They have specialized on this one car
therefore it is reasonable to assume that they are better qualified to
serve Ford Owners than those who divide their efforts on various
makes of automobiles.
WE USE ONLY GENUINE FORD PARTS.
Send Your Ford to us when it needs attention.

NEGROES SUBSCRIBE
LIBERALLY TO BONDS
Atlanta, May 9.—The great number
of negroes itho have subscribed to the
Third Liberty Loan has attracted the
particular attention of the Liberty
committee of the Sixth Federal re
serve district cince the special relic
train has been touring the territory.
In the last report from Train No. 1
at Wrightsville, the chairman an
nounced that of the several hundred
subscriptions taken, more than one-
half were taken by the negro popula
tion.
The colored people are solidly back
of the Government in the war, and
they are proud of the opportunity to
have a definite share in the burdens
and responsibilities of the war.

Atlanta, May 9.—Excess profits,
particularly cn flour and sugar, under
| th0 t-u se o. “risk of collection on
j charge accounts” bid fair to bring a
shower of trouble on the shoulders of
j not a lew merchants in the middle
and lower part of the state. The par
ticular offenders are dealers and
j warehouses which supply country
| trade, and to these special attention
is being now devoted by the food
administration. The practice car
ried to the extent it is, comes clearly
within the prohibition of "unfair trade
practices" and is to be so treated. The
method used carried with Ft the ex
cuse that rates as high as $20.00 per
barrel for flour and 12 to 15 cents
per pound for sugar, which already
have been found booked, are charged
against farming people because their
charge accounts have to be carried
by the supplying merchant over a pe-
t riod of time and with It goes a "risk
of collection.’’ The same principle of
profiteering is found to extend through
the whole list of supplies to farmers.
Under the policy of procedure an
nounced today by Dr. Andrew M.
Soule, the farmers are to be protect
ed against themselves as well as pro
fiteering merchants. The adminis
tration will begin this week a book
Inspection of a number cf merchants
under suspicion, and In each case
where it is found more than the fix
ed "reasonable profit" plus the "reas
onable carrying charge" allowed by
the administration, the merchant will
be ruled and required to refund and
credit the charge account with the
amount the food administration finds
to have been unreasonable profit, oth
erwise cases will be made charging
outright profiteering and unfair trade
practices. Under operation of theie
instructions it is a certainty) that
some farmers in the state, when they
prepare to settle their charge ac
counts, will find themselves credited
with refunds.

Canteen Like New York Hotel.
"I tell you I was discouraged. Then
suddenly across the tracks from our
stution I saw an American Red Cross
canteen, and all my troubles were at
au end.
"Lots of people must have the same
idea of these canteens that 1 used to
have—Just little shacks where you
were handed out a cup of sloppy cof

Cross places beat a New York hotel

don't have the gilt furniture and tip

"First I had a hath, a real one, with
plenty of soap and water. While I
was getting clean my clothes, every
stitch, were clenned nnd sterilized.
Then I had a meal of real American
cooking, actually sitting down at a ta

canteen barber shop and had a shave

of leisure, I strolled into tfie canteen

"And now this morning, after a fine
breakfast, I am sitting In the canteen
writing this letter to you nnd waiting
comfortably for my train. You Just
can't possibly Imagine what these Red

and for the Freach nad English, too.
Each canteen takes care of thousands

The total amount of the negro sales

around a hundred dollars, with some
going as high as five hundred, and the
majority being fifty dollar bonds.
