Ali Druggists' E..0 VfTyit ** ' ; NEW PRICES - .. ~ 1 1 ? ^ New prices on Dodge Brothers ' Motor cars, the snbjecf of wide spread comment since it was made known December 15 that a sweeping reduction would be made, were an , nounced today. The reducnons ' cover the entire list of Dodge Brothers cars and range from 5205 on the Special Type A Sedan to $75 on the Commercial Cars and chassis. The new and old prieeB on the dif ferent types of cars follow: Touring car, new price $795, old price, $875; roadster, new price, $795, old price, $855; Type B Sedan, pew price, $805, old price, $1045; Special Type A Sedan, new price, $1075, old price, $1280;, coupe, new price, $845, old price, $960; pane commercial car, new price, $885, old price, $960; screen commercial car, new price, $810, old price, $885; chassis, new price, $655, old price. $730. It was stated in the announce ment of December 15 that the new prices would be retroactive and that all purchasers of Dodge Brothers cars between that date and the time the revised schedules were made known would be refunded the differ ence between the new and old prices. In accordance with this promise, > tiousands of checks are being made out today by Dodge Brothers Deal ers to such purchasers. Although the announcement of December 15 of the impending price reductions With their retroactive j feature, fell on Thursday, the effect on sales was so immediate that shi^ents for that week showed a material increase over the preceding week. ' The word that Dodge Brothers were about to make marked reduc tions in the prices of all their cars was something of a bombshell to the automobile industry, coming as it did, at the time when several manufacturers were known to be preparing announcements of ad vanced prices all along the line. In fact, it is understood that some makers had scheduled advertising advising the public of the necessity for higher prices, but these an nouncements were suddenly can celled upon publication of Dodge Brothers reductions. The situation which many, automo bile manufacturers have found in surmountable, except thiough in creased prices, has been brought about by the jump in tire costs, due to tremendous advances in rubber prices. Automobile manufacturers I who planned making thzs increased tire cost the basis of higher prices found themselves in a quandary, however, as a result of the Dodge Brothers announcement. In commenting on Dodge Brothers reductions, Robert C. Graham, vice president and general sales manager, said: _ "The reduction in the prices of Dodge Brothers cars is made possible by a $10,000,000 investment in new buildings and equipment which v til arc Ktly increase capacity for 3 9^3. This expansion program has greatly improved our already hVnly devel oped and economical system of pro gressive assembly and reduced out production costs. We believe in giv ing the owners of Douue Brothers cars the benefit of this reduction. "These new prices apply to a pro duct that is far and away the finest Dodge Brothers have ever produced. ' There is no change in the policy up on which Dodge Brothers established their leadership eleven years ago, that of constant improvement with out yearly models." JESS A. SMITH, LOCAL DEALER ?

Work will be poshed In Trahsy for the coming: year. Jurt as proof that this work" has paid an is paying, in another county, the fol lowing news item is carried as re ported from tjie Agricultural Exten sion" Bureau at Raleigh: Agricul tural club work conducted with the boys and girls of Catawba County by Farm Agent J. W. Hendricks has paid its way during the five year?, it has been.carried on. The returns sboy a net profit of nearly $60,000 in mow " with better farm practices adopt on the farms, and many boy a girls influenced to go to college wh graduated from club activities. Mr. Hendricks began" his work a county agent in 1919. in 1920, he organized the first club with a total of 86 members. Twelve of these members have remained as club workers during the five years and thu' total enrollment for the past year was 1-47 boys and girls. There have been 363 different projects carried forward by nearly as many club members during the period. Mr. Hendricks has an accurate record of all the work done and the profits secured by each member and his re cord shows an actual profit of $59, 445.82. Of this amount, $1,500 was made by the members of the Jersey Calf Club which was organized in Cat awba County first of any section in the South. The records show that an average profit of about $50 per calf was made by the members. Poultry Club work probably returned the greatest profit, however, and was the most popular project throughout the entire five years. Club jprojects were also carried on with corn, cot ton, wheat, sweet potatoes, pigs and sheep. One of the highest yields df cotton ever made in the Soutli was recorded by Claude Sigmon of Claremont who made 2,777 pounds of seed cotton 0!i one acre. This ginned out two bales weighing a total of 1047 pounds of lint and was of the Mexi can Big Boiled variety. In a report of his club work torfle extension authorities at State College, Mr. Hendricks notes that 16 of his club members have married and 27 have entered college. FARMERS AR? ADVISED TO BEGIN PREPARATIONS EARLY Raleigh, Decmbcr 13. ? Nov; is the right time to begin preparations l'oi the spring rush of planting, says E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State College. If plans are well laid now, and put into action without de lay, a better crop will result. There are many important factors that contribute to a good yield, such as soil fertility, proper fertilization, good seed, good cultivation, and good seasons; but other things being anywhere nearly equal, the crop is planted on time will always outyield one planted too late. Fall and winter plowing is the first step to take. More fall plowing has been done this year in North Carol ina than ever before.
