: -vv, rW:^ AN MjOvd charges for distribution of the new Ford save you at least $50 to in addition to the many savings im maSeing the ear i THESE are days when every dollar counts. The period of reckless spending is over* People are ? going back to the good old-fashioned principles of thrift and economy. Value is again being carefully considered. Nowhere is this more important than in the selec tion of an automobile. For the purchase of n car represents a considerable investment. It should not be decided On hurriedly, but only after ' analyzing every important factor that concerns cost, value and performance. The time to do this is before buying ? not afterward when it is. too late. On THE basis of cost, performance and the actual comparative worth of every part, the new Ford is a value far above the price you pay. It is made of better materials and with greater care and accuracy because of the recognized efficiency and economy of Ford manufacturing methods. The value of these methods is known and under stood by millions of people. It is not generally real ized, however, that these same principles of efficiency and economy are applied also to every step in the dis tribution of the Ford car. The low cost of selling, financing time payments, etc., means a direct saving to you of at least $50 to $75 in addition to the money saved by Ford economies in making the car. Here are three reasons why this is so. (1) The Ford dealer does business on a smaller margin of profit because of the greater number of cars lie sells. His discount or commission is the low est of any iiulcmobile dealer. The difference in your favor, ranging from 25% to nearly 50%, comes right off the pricc you pay for the car. (2) The Ford charges for financing are low. (.1) No expensive extra equipment is needed when you a Ford. The car leaves the factory ready for use. Tiie i.o.L. ^rice includes a Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield and an extra steel-spoke wheel, in addition to four Houdaillc double-acting shock absorbers and fully enclosed four-wheel brakes. Any accessories you may wish for your individual taste are sold considerably below the usual prices. None of these charges for sell ing, financing or accessories is marked up or increased to cover a high trade-in allowance on a used car. Get all the facts, therefore, before you buy and figure out just what you are getting for your auto mobile dollars. Go beyond the f.o.b. price and find out how much more you pay the dealer than the dealer pays at the factory. Analyze the used-car allowance. Compare all charges ? item for item? ? value for value. WlIEN you do this you will have a new appreciation of what the Ford Motor Company and Ford dealers are doing to keep down the cost of Ford cars. You will also know why it is possible to put so much real value into the new Ford and still retain the low price. The money you pay goes for value in the car. It is not wasted in excessive costs in manufacturing or selling.

HU&Si.Wr^0 0 AROUND THE WORLD WITH ? E. B. JENKINS Mister, Traveler and I*eetur?r te'ls of Conditions Found in the Old ' World. Mussolini, the Super Statesman. I No tourist can trAvel in Italy nnd ; not nee the master hand of Musso- j lini nearly everywhere, be it on train, ! in hotel, in city or countryside. One seen evidences of it as soon as they arrive in Italy. Of course, those who live in' Italy' are more conscious of the many reformations of Mussolini that have been brought about from time to time. N?r countty in all the world has had so many changes (and < all for the better) as has Italy since ' thfe World War. Russia is trying to bring about many changes, some rad ical, under the leadership of the So viets, which may result in revolution 1 I and civil war, but Italy, on the other hand, Is* becoming rnore and more united under the direction and wis dom of Mussolini. It is sad that Mussolini has Ids eye on the Holy Land, and if Italy should come into the Protectorate, Mussolini would ' bring marvelous I changes in the Land of the Cfoss, but he could not do it as quickly as in Italy for there is a vast difference between the Arab, and Italian. Per* haps he would be cautious, and take time to achieve his object. Italy before the war was a land of strikes and labor disturbances. My fuide in Florence (a man 60 years old), told m$ there was a strike In Italy every week for ^ year at a time. But with the arrival of Musso- , linl into the affairs of the govern ment there came a great change in a short time. He tabooed strikes in Italy, am) managed' to get a measure through the senate that any man who starts a strike in Italy will be stood up against the wall and shot down by the firing squad. These have boon no strikes in Italy since this order went into effect. This is a drastic move, but Mussolini makes it work in Italy. Instead of Italian workmen l striking, they are at work building up the country. j . At the time Mussolini went into power a working day consisted of eight hours of labor. IIo issued nn j order that the time would be increased ; from eight to nine hours a day, tto I that nine hour*, is a day's work In Italy. This wasoa'great help *,o all ' eortstruction companies, railroads, ho tela, stores, 'business houses, etc. Followng the nine hour laboi law i which he had enacted, Mussolini J passed the order for (people to go .back to war bread. He is against all unnecessary luxuries such nn cabn rets, confectionary stores, saloons, ' etc. He had all the cabarets closed, 1 all candy stores shut up, and closed tight 28,000 saloons in Italy. There ever once violate the law, then he closos them for (food. Imagine ono man "in Nngland or America doinr anything like thatl One of the most sweeping reforms Mussolini has made in Italy was that of the Sabbath observance. In nenrly all foreign countries there la more or less work and business carried on during the Sftlfoaith. England and Scotland arfl an exception to lhl? rule. Mussolini gave the order that no work (except what was absolutely necessary) or business could be car ried on In Italy on the first day of the week. Therefore, no one can buy anything in Italy on Sunday nave a cigar, a newspaper, get a meal in restaurant, . cafe, hotel or ride on the bus or train.

I actually believe this won derful medicine has added "years to my life. ''For five years my health had been failing steadily. My nerves were all to pieces, and I hardly knew what a sound ninht's sleep meant. "Since taking the Sargon treat ment I feel as well and strong a? T was 25 years ago. I have a fine ap petite, sleep good, and constipation biliousness and dizzy spells are all things of the past." ? David S. Beck man, 528 Kearney St., San Francisco, Calif.

Rawleigh Company, Dept. SC 23 J, Richmond, Va. some official in America paving such an order for the people to observe. He would be laughed out of the land, and by some church people, too. It is said, but I don't know whether it is true or not, that Mussolini hod an agreement with the Pope on Sabbath observance. By putting the people to work, by doing away with strikes, by restrain ing the use of luxuries, by economiz ing, and thrift along all lines, both - governmental and private, Mussolini succeeded in reducig the Italian war debt. By a diplomatic move of his he gained the ear of our government and pot an extension of time ofmoney to us. Every move Mussolini makes is a move of diplomacy and strategy. He s a genius for seizing opportuni ties for his own advancement. Once again he made a bold move in the matter of city and town elec- ' tions in Italy. He realzed that there was an. expenditure of time and money in municipal and town elec tions. So he cut the "Gordon knot" and said that ho would appoint all the mayors of all the cities and towns in Italy. Now the question arises as to whether the people of Italy stand /or h11 these reforms? Most certainly they* 'do. But the reply is that their liberties are taken away and we would so regard it in America, hut lit is not so regarded in Italy. The | outstanding fact is that Italy has | prospered under tho leadership of Mussolini as never before in all her ( history. The peoplo are in much bet ter circumstances in most every way ; since the inauguration of Mussolini's policies. Why should they complain jwhen they have been greatly helped I and assistod? Let It be remembered (that the lot of the poor people in Italy was a sad one at the close of the war, hut now greatly bettered by the nonius, wia{iom nnd loader- ' ship of Mussolini. In every city abroad where I had an opportunity, t ( always walked out along the street* ,of the working class and poorer peo ple.
