JEANES FORI) Improvements in the model A an* to he followed, if rumor is correct, with a new tyjH* of Ford car in the spring. I know no more about it than anyone else does, hut my guess is that the new Ford, when it comes out, will be as surprising as was the present model Henry Ford has always been a pio- He was the first automobile manufaixturer to put the ste<*ring wheel on the left, where it belongs, and all the others had to follow suit. He was the first to detect the flaw in the Selden patent, on which all the other makers paid royalties for years, h'oril refused to pay tribute, fought the case to the highest courts, and won a victory for the whole industry. He was the first to reduce the daily hours of labor in his factory from nine to eight, the first to establish a mini mum wage of $5 a day for the lowR- est worker, the first to use modern al loys for strength and lightness, and I to build engines to such accuracy that no “block test’’ was required. Ford can do tho.se things because he ha.s no board of directors to tell him what he can’t do, no stockhold ers clamoring for dividends at the ex pense of the product. The greatest achievements have always been, al- w'ays will be, hy men working single -handed. We want you to know that Clinton is every thing a “good town” should be. Its growth has been phenomenal during the past ten years, the latest census report showing am increase in pop ulation of 50 per cent. As am educational amd re ligious center it is favorably known fau* amd wide as the home of Presbyteriam College.
