FIGHTING .FORD CONTRACT
The testing of the right to dictate
l/oth bides &o well as both ends is
now bving tested by the C. H. Kawls
.Motor -Co., of ltaleigh, in a suit a
guinst the ford Motor Co., of Detroit,
at Charlotte. N. C.
The Euit is- for loss and damage
i.Jleged to have been ca,used by the ar
bitrary cancellation of a sales con
tract made by the Ford Company with
Kawles.
It appears that .the regulations of
the Ford people dj* not allow any per
son handling any of their products
to do anything except under their
"specific instruction, that their meth
ods are of such nature that their a
ents are nothing more than ma
chines to do the bidding of the or
ganized power, and more and
more the agent must study their code
i»nd carry out in detail their regula
tions. Agents must take -Cars and
pay for them; they must take trucks
and tractors and pay for them; they

and to conform to many other things
that Ford demands.
The avmgf JKord agency, especi
ally in the small town, makes only
enough to call a reasonable income.
Still if has to conform to the Ford
rules and regulations in every way,
according to the contentions alleged
in the Kawls suit.

MILK PRODUCER AND CONSUM

The milk producer and consumer
have compared notes in New York to
find how each was faring in the deal,

dale, in the Nation's business, a mag
azine published by the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
The article gives the farmer's com
plaint at the low price of 6 cents per
quart he receives for the milk, while
the consumer pays the sum of 15
cents per quart in the city.
The farmer who lived 200 miles
away from the city got up at his
home shortly after midnight and at
daybreak had milked his cows and the
neighborhood wagon taken the milk
to a railroad siding. The farmer hau
60 quarts of milk and was paid $3.60
lor the original product. The man
who drove by knd carried the milk
to the station was paid 48 cents. The
next item charged against the milk
was by the New \ork Central Rail
road, which charged 66 cents for car
rying the 60 quarts of milk 200 miles.
When the milk can reached the city
it was taken on a truck to the pas
teurizing plant. The trucker gets .10
cents for his work. The pasteurizing
plant gets 90 cenU for treating the
milk and making it safe against all
diseases. Then it is handled by truck
to houses for distribution and the
trucker gets 36 cents.
The greatest item of cost next to
the farmer's production is the retail
distribution, which is the carrying of
the product to the door mat of the
user. Many things naturally come in
this cost—the service of a good, re
liable man, a good horse, a good wag
on, milk bottles, collecting and the
little items that leak from any busi
ness, and when all men are paid, all
broken bottles replaced, all wagons
kept up, all horses fed and kept in
shape, and all bills cdllected the sum >
tota goes up to $2.52.
The actual cost of the 60 quarts, up
to this point, has reached the sum of
$8.82, for which the consumer pays
$9.00; this leaves only 18 cents for
the Borden Company's profit.

ment and it relieve* the pain very
quickly."
Hundreds of letters like this hsve
come to the makers of Slosn's telling
of the wonderful relief they hsve got
from all kinds of muscular pain with
this amazingly effective liniment.
I Sloan's gets results because it doesn't
just deaden pain; it gets at the cause.
Right to the place that hurts it brings
a healing stream of fresh, new blood.
Quickly snd surely it carries off the
rheumatism germs, takes out stiffness
and drives swsy the aches and pains.
So clean and easy to use too. All
