We guarantee, however, that there will be no reduction in | these prices piior to Aug. 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 S4O to S6O on each car. We have sold over 300,000 Ford cars in the time specified, and profit-sharing checks of §SO each will be distributed as rap idly as possible after August 15, 1915. Retail purchasers who have not yet mailed us their profit-sharing coupons, properly endorsed, should do so without delay. Our plan to profit-share with retail purchasers of Ford cars during 1914- 15 has been most successful. We thoroughly believe in it, but, realiz ing the uncertainty of conditions generally makes it advisable to defer any announcement of future profit-sharing until a later date. We arc, however, confident of our inability to reduce costs for several I months,and therefore can offer no profit-sharing for cars delivered during August, September and October, 1915.

This in spection is made for the purpose of enlisting your aid in the betterment of health conditions and make the chil dren more comfortable and productive of greater results in their school work.

To aid in this work and believing, that the intention of the in spection can be more fully understood by the committee being present, I ask that a member of each school board drop me a postal card giving me his address and phone number in order to let me phone or write him the date and hour suitable to meet the committee at the various school houses.

FOUR CONVICTS ESCAPE OUT OF GANG OF FIVE Newton's Road Repair force Is Sadly Depleted Result of Negro's Grouch. Newton, Aug. 23.—Newton town ship's road force was sadly depleted jesterday morning about 1 o clock when four of the five convicts used as a repair force quietly left the county jail and mingled themselves with the piedmont landscape. Jay Bost, Hick | ory negro, whose time is up about the first month, refused to join the runaways and remained in the jail. Of the four, one is white, James Smith, sent from Wilkes county, had nearly three months to serve, Leo An derson, neero of Morganton hid about 30 days remaining of a two-year sen tence put on him at Morganton for stealing one pound of butter. He broke into a car and got it. Tom Wingates, also of Morganton. would have been set free today had he stayed, and he is supposed to have been the moving force because he wanted to get off yes terday and was refused. "Jim," a South Carolina product, might have al so gotten out today, as he had credits enough to finish his time. The officials do net caie much about those whose times were out, but ofrir $lO reward fo; them just the same. A Political Event of the Week.

British admiralty. It concerned the destruction of a Z:ppelin dirigible in a daring ae rial encounter 6.U00 feet above in Ghent in Belgium. Six bom'js were dropped on the hull of the Garman craft by Sub-Lieutenant R. A. J. Warneford, R. N., who attacked the enemy single-hand ed in a small Morane monoplane. The battle in mid-air is ditcrib ed in the detail in the August Popular Machanics Magazine, which also contains a full page view showing the maneuvers of the contending air craft. The fight took place at three o'clock in the morning after the British airman had sighted the large craft on the horizon between Ghent and Brussels while doing reconnaissance work. He flaw directly over the airship and within 50 feet of its upper sur face. The last bomb burst the envelope, causing a terriflj ex plosion which sent the bulky ship to earth, a fiary mass. The force of the detrition capj'Zii the monoplane, but the piiot was able to regain control of it a*)d make a spiral glide tj the ground. He thereupon restarted his engine and escaped, subsequently land ing on French soil near Griz Nez. A few days later while trying out a new machine, War neford was killed in a fall with an American newspaper corres pondent. It is reported that the kaiser UDon hearing of the air man's death remarked, "He was a brave enemy."
