There arc more that 3,000,000 Ford ears in
dailv service throughout the world, and fully
eighty percent of these are Ford louring C ars.
There are many reasons for this, not the least of
which is the simplicity in the design of the car,
so easy to understand; likewise it is easy to
operate; and mighty inexpensive compared to
other motor cars. On the farm, in the city, for
business and for family pleasure, it is the car of
the people, and the demand is increasing every
day. Let us have your order promptly if you

MKE OUT GIFT LIST EABLY
ThcughTM Shoppers Start Task Sev«
eral Weeks Before Rush Begins
in Busy Stores.
HE buyer who really puts
some altruism Into her
Christmas gifts makes out
her list several weeks in ad
vance. If she be a canny
somebody she has kept her list of the
year .before and Is able to see what
'cere her gifts the preceding season, and
thas as-old the risk of repeating her
self. Slill more canny is she if she
tias made mental or written notes from
tihie to time of various articles for
w hich she has heard a desire expressed
h.v friends. Such note taking will
early lessen her labors.
For It is no light thing to choose
Christmas gifts judiciously. The
rhole secret of their acceptability lies
In their appropriateness. Not only
must they be appropriate to the per
son from whom they come and to whom
they go, but to the circumstances in
which the latter Is placed. For an In
stance, there are few housekeepers
who do not welcome an addition of
line linen to their store. But if to a
bousekeper who lives plainly In sim
ple surroundings one sends a superb
lace-trimmed tea cloth or dollies that
throw all her other possessions Into
the shade, there Is an unsuitability
about the gift that rob - It of much of
its charm.—Flarper's Bazar.
ART AND SCIENCE IN TOYS
Playthings for the Kiddles Necessary
to the Proper Conduct of
Their Society.
WHILE the making of toys Is an
art that Is probably practically
as old as the world Itself, It has been
only within recent years that science
has bothered Itself about them. Less
than half a century ago they were re
garded merely as playthings—amus
ing diversions for children that were
by no means necessary to their well
being. Today, however, science Insists
that there is a well-defined philosophy
cnderlying the use of toys; thnt they
ftre the tools with which the little ones
ply their trade; the paraphernalia nec
essary to the proper conduct of their
society; that dolls, for example, are
rpore to them than the associates that
help to entertain them In that they
aid them In the attainment of their
mental growth by stimulating the
natural emotions which must be ex
perienced In later life.
Whether this theory of the scientists
Is correct or not, the fact remains that
children have always had the play
things requisite for their imitations of
the domestic life and business affairs
of older people; that they bare alwajw
required tfctlr elders to provide the*
with su«h inventions, and that, when
they could not obtain these toys by
any other means they themselves have
sought and found objects that might
be made to suit their purposes. Even
the somnolent middle Ages did not put
an end to their pastimes. The toys In
which they found diversion may have
been more simple, but, as they met
the demands of nature, they played
their allotted part In the scheme of
human development.—Public Opinion.
Ancient Christmas Custom.
Many quaint custom • are observed
at Christmas time In various English
country parishes. In that of Cumnor,
in Berkshire, of which the living Is a i
vicarage and the church a beautiful
specimen of an old English parochial
edifice, nil who pay tithes repair, af
ter evening service on Christmas day,
to the vicarage where the vicar Is
held In duty bound, by a usage cen- 1
turies old, to regale them with four
bushels of malt brewed Into ale -or
beer, two bushels of wheat baked Into
bread, and half a hundred weight of
cheese. Any remnants of this feast
are distributed among the poor of the
parish after morning prayer the next 1
day.

Traditions of Christmas Festival.
In the records of every nation we
find traditions of the Christmas festi
val, traditions which have been hand
ed down from generation to genera
tion in oft-told tales which thrilled
the hearts of the listeners with al
ternate fear and delight. Sir Walter
Scott tells us that they who are born
upon Christmas or Good Friday will
see spirits, and will have the power
at commanding them. He also adds
that the Spaniards imputed the down
cast looks of their monarch, Philip
II, to tho disagreeable visions to which
this privilege subjected him.
Bring Smiles of Gladness.
It is not so much the thought of re
ceiving the customary holiday gifts
which most pleases the fancy, but
rather thot pleasure the heart derives
from dwelling upon joyful surprises
It may bestow upon others. To bring
a smile of gladness upon another’s
face Is, indeed, n boon more precious
than u Christmas gift, and the joj|
pf bestowing can never be etjuaietf b'J

No Misrepresentation
Misrepresentation may win today, but tomorrow it
would fail and our goods would become shelf worn and
unsold. To make good, over the years, men must be
SQUARE, HONEST and HONORABLE, do the things
they promise to do, if it costs their last dollar. This is
why we never advertise anything that we do not have,
and if it is second grade the advertisement always says so.
We value your trade too highly to misrepresent.
