Wb wonder why it 1# ho many y oung men (Hi) be s^H'ii loafing upon our street* until u Into Itotir of night. Many Of them art* from our heat fainl I lies.

We guarantee, however, that there will be no reduction in these prices prior to August 1, 1916. PROFIT-SHARING WITH RETAIL BUYERS On August 1, 1914 we made the announcement that if we could make and sell at retail 300,000 Ford cars between August 1, 1914 and August 1, 1915 we would share profits with the retail purchasers, to the extent of from $40 to $60* on each car. * We have sold over 300,000 Ford cars in the lime specified, and profit-sharing checks of $50 each will be distributed as rapidly as possible after August 15, 1915. Re tail purchasers who have not yet mailed us their profitsharing coupons, properly endorsed, should do so without delay. Our plan to profit-share with retail purchasers of Ford ?'..rs during 1914-15 has been m successful. We thorough ly hi'lifve in it, but, realizing the uncertainty of conditions generally makes it advisable to defer any announcement of ! in lire profit-sharing until a later date. We are, however, confident of our inability to reduce costs : for several months, and therefore can offer no profit sharing for cars delivered during August, September and Oc i'.ober. 191.").

My hatB and frocks are out of date Her carriage, cot and garments small Have swallowed up our little &U. But other things I gladly miss My baby's blossont face to kiss. Since bkby came a look of home Upon our tiny house has come. Her toys are scattered here and ther?, Her little touch is everywhere, And love is dearer, holier flame, ^.nd brighter burns since baby came. ?London Chronicle.
