Some of our politicians shoirid have a change of heart. Capital comes where it is invited and stays where it is treated fairly. No one wants to invest heavily in aectiona where shifting political and economic conditions are always linked up with politicians who exercise tre mendous influeoce to put them out of business. Without the wage earners and folks of the towns and cities as consumers for products rajsed by our farmers, they would go back to the days of long ago when .the people raised only enough for their own consumption and what they oouKl trade with thenr neighbors.

One owner writes—“The Ford Tudor Sedan I am driving has covered 59,300 miles through all kinds of weather. It is still giving perfect satisfaction.^ Another owner describes a trip of 3217 miles in 95 hours over bad roads and through heavy rain and sleet in the mountains. “Throughout the en tire trip,” he writes, “the Ford performed ex cellently and no mechanical trouble of any kind was experienced.' The shatter-proof glass un doubtedly saved us from serious injury when a prairie chicken struck the windshield while we were traveling at 65 miles an hour.” See the nearest dealer and have him give yon a demonstration ride in the Ford.
