sign hm ause of his moderate and con
ciliatory counsels. A violent quarrel

ANNOUNCEMENT
The following prices f. o. b. Detroit, effective Aug. 2, 1915:
Ford Runabout $390.00
Ford Touring Car 440.00
Ford Town Car .., 640.00
v No s|?et?doincter included in this year's
equipment, otherwise ears fully equiped
There can be no assurance given against an advance in these *
prices at ?iny time. 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.").

SINCE BABY CAME.
QINCE baby came in last mid-May
I have not Been a single play.
TTle newest , books remain unread.
A little life I've conned Instead,
80 full of heavenly lines and sweet
From the silken head to .rose pink feel.
Since baby came with needs so great ?
My hatB and frocks are out of date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.

THE HEART UN8EEN.
0 many times the heart can break,
1 So many ways,
Yet beat along and beat along
So many days.
A FLUTTERING thtrtg we never see
And only hear 77
When some stern doctor to our side
Presses his ear. ,
QTRANOE hidden thing that beats and
0 beats,
We know not why,
And makes us live though we, indeed,
Would rather die.'
T^TYSTERIOUS, fighting, loving thing,
So sad, so. true,
1 would my laughing eyes some day
Might look on you.

ONCE IN AWHILE.
T STEPPED in a homo I did not
J- know,
And there on a chair and nil below
Scattered around wero blocks and
strings,
And the lloor was littered ovlth va
rious things?
A rubber ball, a horso on wheels,
A mule with upward kicking heels,
A festive rooster winged with blue
That laid an egg and flapped and
crew
And other right bewitching toys
Athrill with satisfying Joys.
"A real homo this, I plainly sqo,"
Quoth 1 to one who bent her knee
To pick the things up ono by one.
"Where u tho baby? Daughter or
son ?"
She laid thc-m each in proper place
And turned to me a wistful face ?
A face whose lips had. learned their
I .est the fibres too plain betray tho
heart.
"lie has just gone home," Bald her
lips to me.
"I borrow him once in awhile, you
see."
