ALLIED RELIEF COM- MITTEE SEEKS FUNDS Continued from Fage One) Allies that they are 'free from Ger- man horrors and home again. But have you thought what homecoming means to them? Thay are absolutely destitute. They must cat to live, have clothing and shelter, while some of them are in sore nead of medical attention and The governments and many organ- izations and individuals are doing the utmost for their relief and care, but it must be realized that these prisoners have returned by the thou- sands and all of them empty-handed. It is a colossal task to care for all of them at once when the needs are so many and varied. The task can- not be accomplished, the problem cannot be solved unless every vestige of help is received from every pos- sible sourca. American help, immediate and gen- to France and Belgium with wither- ed bodies, sunken cheeks and staring eyes. These children have either for- gotten how to be happy or have never known what happiness meant. Some prisoners have been brought home on litters, whilé others have made their slow and painful way on crutches.

Mothers have returned with babes in their arms, the only covering for the tiny bodies being old news- papers or rags. All of the prisoners, however, are thankful to God and the erous American help, is what we ask for these repatriated prisoners. A contribution of American dollars from you may mean food for a little child that is hungry, medicine for an aged and feeble man or woman, com- fort and perhaps life itself for some mother and her baby. You may feel that, after your generous efforts of the past, you are tired of giving; but {you do not know, as these prisoners | know, what it means to be tired. Give now, every dollar you possibly | can, for these unoffending people { who have suffered. They know the horrors of war; help to let them realize now the meaning of the bless- ed peace the Allies fought for and won. (Make all checks payable to James A.

Throuchout the history of automo- | biles you will find the large car | manufacturer has experimented, de- monstrated, tested his r at the ex- pense of the buyer. Every year a new model is produced attempting to | eliminate errors and misfits in the | last model." Some were compelled, by lack of sales, to produce as many as four distinctly different cars in one single year and tag thgm in appear- ance and name as the original pres- ent model: Inconceivable mistakes were paid for by the un- fortunate buyer. | More than twenty manufacturers have now attempted to produce a car at about or a little above the price of a certain ponular car, and all have learned that theirmanufacturing facil- ities, buying power, overhead expense and selling cost will not permit of such a, price if they produce a satisfactory car. Those who did not fail finan- cially proceeded to manufacture the car and offer it at prices ranging from $600 to $1,200. Looking over .the financial statements you will find a few of these companies in excellent condition and others on the verge of a reorganization. Notice that the good companies manufacture but one or two models and practically the only difference is in style of body. On the other hand, the company manu- facturing many models and constant- ly changing never has had a satis- factory car and depends mostly upon body lines and attractive ads to sell the car. ) year's Now, is it reasonable to believe that to produce eight or ten models to sell their production and has failed to show a single model which has proven satisfactory for more than six months--is it reasonable to assume that such a company with millions in yutstanding bonds, millions invested in machinery especially adapted for stop short and during these times of high prices produce a satisfactory car at about or a little above the price of the Ford car? Do you care to spend your money to test the car and then see a new model of the same car produced with- in a few months after you buy yours? Have you ever attempted to obtain a repair part for one of 'thesé orphans? Have you ever asked the price of such parts as can be found? The Ford Motor company have manufactured the present model "T" Ford chassis for 12 successful years, and if you have a 1908 Ford car the present parts will fit it. The car won its way to the top by ed only after the Ford car had prov- en by all the tests that time and the greatest number and variety of uses and abuses can impose 'its superior worth." It had delivered to users what they demand in a motor car. Why consider taking a chance? Order your Ford car today. The fac- tory is oversold and we are taking orders for future delivery.--Adv.
