ALSO M AKERS OF DETROIT, MICH., ROBBERS DAILY GROWING BOLDER ItMlOIOS (Tablets or Granules) 22 INDIGESTION r-24sk Three detectives were shot and seriously wounded by three bandits, who held up and robbed the Morton Bond Company's offices in the public square at Detroit. At the hospital it was said two of the detectives prob nbiy Will die. The bandits escaped with". $10,000 In liberty bonds. The bandits enter ed t he bond Office Ifonday morning about 9 o'clock and seized a package of. bonds lying on the Cashier's desk. At the door they encountered a number of detective- summoned by one of the clerks who pushed a call button when they turned from t he cashkr's cage.

Ogg, seiretary and treasurer cf the Virginia Growers1 Association, took in all of the piles of tobacco he had set out on one of the Dan ville warehouse floors and which sold at a figure which he believed to be below what it shouVd have brought The Register says: He said that this was the best curing he had and that the price paid for It did not square with that paid earlier for tobacco of similar quality, which brought nearly' twice as much as did his. He reported that one farmer who also sold in Dan ville Tuesday, dissatisfied with the price he received,, took in his tobac co, but later placed it on the floor at another spot and that when it was reached it sold for nearly double the first bid at which it had : been knocked out. According to Mr. Ogg, the mem bership In the organization is in creasing slowly and surely, also that it has been decided to continue the membership campaign until March. Roughly speaking, fifty; per cent of the Virginia growers are signed up and are pledged to reduce their acre age one-third. In .some communities ninety-five per cent of the growers have signed and in others 70 and 75 Including those areas which have not yet been thoroughly canvassed he states, the rough average mem bership is 50 per cent. The official declares that the belief obtains, in the minds of most farmers that, tha farm organisation has resulted in the more favorable prices now be ing paid for tobacco. It is also probably true, he states, that the planters still have a good deal of to bacco on hand and that while in normal vears the cron would be nearing its end, it should be remem bered that many farmers had heed ed the advice given them and that they had been marketing slower than usual and that there is more in the barns than is generally believ ed. In- some cases farmers, more or less independent and who are not in need of ready money, have sold a very small proportion of their hold ings and are now profiting by the prices which are yielding a fair mar gin of profit.

Ford, President of the Ford Motor Company gives ''...'.'. out the following statement; "TIk price of the ' FORDSON . Tractor has been reduced from $790.00 to $025.00, dTective immediately. "The price change has been made -possible through lower costs of materials and the fact that we are now located in our new Trac tor Plant with greatly increased economic manufacturing facilities in immediate connection with our foundry and machine shops and large blast furnaces where iron is poured dirtily .'from the ore, giving us maximum efliciency. with the power to reduce cwt of production, and down comes the price in the line with our policy to market our pro ducts at the lowest possible tigure without in any way affecting our high standard of quality. ;-v.;;''.;.'.-''."'''- " Wo are particularly jileasod in being able to bring about this big -reduction in price at this time, 'because the farmer needs all l4ie help we can give him, and this big cut in price will be the means of placing a valuable power unit within the reach of practically everyone of them, not to mention industrial and commmercial conceins which likewise have benefited through its use and are already realizing, to a much greater extent, its value as a power and hauling unit. But . .particularly ; has the Fordson Tractor proved a most valuable factor in the saving of farm labor, at the same time increasing the per acre crop yield as well as making possible, a. utilization of previously uncultivated land, to r say nothing of removing no end of drudgery. V '- There is no rpieston that the use of machine power on the farm is the greatest advancement made in the development of agriculture, not only in money saving and money making results, as well as raising the standards of living on the farm to a much higher level, but because of its proved value in making every type of land more productive, and consequently our desire to place the FORDSOX within the reach of all. "THERE IS NO CHANGE IN THE PRESENT FORD CAR AND TRUCK PRICES, which are already at the lowest possible figure, and now with rock bottom reached on the tractor price a further reduction in price on either the Car, Truck' or Tractor is out of the question; in fact, the big price cuts have been made in anticipation of continuous maximum pro duction and increases may be necessary before long if a large volume of new business is not obtained. Therefore, present prices of Ford products cannot be guaranteed against possible increases." Ask for the book, "The Fordson at Work," which wilLb'e supplied free of cost.
