THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Model T One Ton Truck with its
manganese bronze worm-drive is really a
necessity for the farmer because it solves his
problem of economic transportation from the
farm to the city. And in farm work alone, it
will be found a great money saver as well as a
big labor saver, bias all the merits of the Ford
car multiplied by greater capacity with greater
strength. No extra Tost in operation. We’d
like to talk it over with every farmer. Bring
your Ford car to us for necessary repairs and
thus get the genuine Ford parts and reliable
Ford workmanship.

THINK IT OVER
War prices were cheap com
pared with the prices that are
looming big in the early fu
ture.
Labor of all kinds, skilled
and unskilled, is advancing
and the products of their labor
are advanced to meet the in
creased cost of production.
It is a sort of endless chain
affair, a new kind of perpetual
motion. The laborer gets more
lor his labor, the manufactur
er advances his prices to pay
the increased cost of produc
tion, the laborer must demand
more wages to meet the in
creasedcost of the goods, the
manufacturer advances, which
forces the laborer to advance
which forces the manufacturer
to advance, which forces the
laborer to advance—.But it is
an interminable process and
the ultimate consumer is the
unfortuate individual who is
caught betwee the upper and
nether millstones.
Now, take the question of
wearing apparel, clothing au
thorities agree that the price
of clothing will advance about
100 per cent above present
prices. Suits that now cost
$40 that .could have been
bought for $20 a few years
ago, will go to $75 and $80.
And women’s clothing, always
more expensive than men’s,
will be worth a princess dow
ry or a king’s ransom, or any
other of the expensive things
we read about in romances.
And shoes! ordinary folks
will have to go barefoot, or
wear wooden shoes, but the
price of lumber, of course, is
going out of sight with every
thing else.
E. F. Edwards of Conway,
a veteran shoe salesman, says
that the Milwalkee house he
represents has within the last
two months advanced prices
from $1.5C to $4 a pair. He
predicts that by next spring an
ordinary shoe that sold for $5
four years ago and now sells
for $10, carinot be bought for
less than $15 and the better
qualities of standard shoes will
go to $22 and $25. As for the
women’s shoes, $30 and $35
a pair are the prices that may
expected while novelties
may go even higher.
The increased cost of labor
the scarcity 0-' leather at hom-e
and the fact that there are no
imports in addiion to an exces
sive foreign demand are some
of the causes assiged for this
condition. The labor question
alone is a very serious one in
the east, where may mills are
three to five months behind on
deliveries and where many of
the mills have closed down on
account of the scarcity of la
bor and raw materials.
And when it comes to the
| price of all sorts of edibles, it
is iust the same story with a
different subject. The retail-;
er must pay more to the whole
safer, who must pay more to
the laborer, who must pay
more pay more to the retailer
j who must pay more to the
wholesaler who must pay more
to the laborer, etc., ad infiini
itum and then repeat.

Housework In Hot Weather
| Hot weather brings no re
lief from housework drudgery.
i If anything, woman’s work is |
more trying. Overwork and
worry cause kidney trouble,
resulting in backache, sore
muscles, stiff joints, rheumatic
pains, always tired feeling and
other distressing symptoms.
Mrs. Robt. Blair, 461 S 20
St., Terre Haute, Ind., writes:
“After taking Foley Kidney
Pills backache stopped and my
kidneys were restored to the
healthy normal action. I am
also free from those tired;
spells and headaches and my,
vision is no longer blurred.”
