And we thought the demo cratic campaign deficit had already been wiped out. The young: man who won first honors in competition for thq Edison scholarship says that he doesn't expect to become Edison's successor. lie merely proposes to make the most of a four-year technical training provided by the great inventor , to render the greatest possible service in tho scientific field later on. He is an intelligent boy. . Some- one may be come known as the "second Edison" but it is a goal hardly to be assured by passing certain examinations at the age of 16 years. At that age it is doubtful if Kdison had any idea of becoming world-famous as an inventor. He was using his natural intelligence and genius in a very nmtler-of-fact way. Greatness is no accident, but neither is it something to be planned for with any definite assurance of realization. The Oregonian calls attention to the practice of southern Idaho growers in sending only best quality products to the outside market, says that much of the farm prosperity of thai section, is' due "to "this policy, that Oregon might well follow Idaho's example. There is much truth in what the Portland paper says but one should not assume that Oregon growers mix good, bad and indifferent together wjien send ing crops to market. Union county cherries, for example, of the Lambert variety have topped the New York market for several years. They have established a very enviable reputation for highest quality. But general farm prosperity doesn't come from quality alone, In southern Idaho much of tho credit for that area's buying power must go to diversifi cation. They produce millions of dollars worth of dairy products but the man with profitable dairy cows also has a few profitable hogs, a 'few profitable chickens, a profitable potato patch, a profitable garden to help carry the burden. They raise many crops in southern Idaho and therefore never lace failure in the depression of any one crop. "LAID OFF AT FORTY" Stuart Chase, president of the Labor llureau, Inc., of New York, is one of the sanest commentators on modern America that thq country can find. He is far from being an alarmist; Indeed, he is one of the few "intellectuals" to survey the machine era and find optimism in it instead of pessimism. Yet Mr. Chase, in an article in the current Harpers Maga zine, finds imo phase of modern life that makes him shake his head dolefully. That thing is the constant recurrence of the phrase, "laid off al forty," in our studies of unemploy ment. The machine, speeding up all production processes and cleadily eliminating human labor, has brought prosperity but it has also brought unemployment especially among the older workers. Too often, Mr. Chase points out, the approach of middle age is taken, not as the time of a man's greatest usefulness, but as the beginning of the end of his active career. This tendency, he predicts, will spread alarmingly unless prompt action is taken. He suggests five steps which, he says, President Hoover could take, to obviate the trend. They ere: 1 The collect ion of dependable unemployment statistics. i A reliable system of labor exchanges. H An intelligent program for the construction of public works to absorb a part, at least, of the labor surplus. I A system of unemployment insurance. 5 The gradual reduction of hours of labor to equalize technical improvements. These aie not radical steps. They could be put into effect without dislocating any part of .our industrial or social sys tem. And they might go far to cure one of the most distress ing features of our modern civilization.

You know exactly what it will do. There is nothing of an experiment about it. Letters from users show a delivered value far beyond -expectations. Almost without exception they stress reliability.' You sense a feeling of sincere pride in the oft-repeated phrase "Let me tell you what my new Ford did." A well-known tire company, solely to test tires, drove a new Ford more than 90,000 miles in six months. Through out that time, the car was run day and night, an average of twenty-two hours out of every twenty-four. The entire cost of repair parts was only for the entire 90,000 miles. Another tire company, making a . similar test, drove -the new Ford more than 80,000 miles in a short period, at a cost per mile that was fully 60 less than any figure it had previously known. One of the first of the new Fords was driven from Dearborn, Michigan, to Los Angeles to San Francisco to New York and back to Dearborn a dis tance of of 8328 miles in twenty-one days. Through ice and sleet, up moun tain peaks, through desert sands, over macadam and deeply rutted dirt roads, it traveled at an average Speed of 40.9 t miles an hour. Practically a year of average driving was done in three weeks, yet the entire trip was made without the need of a single major, adjustment or repair. Another new Ford, as a test of hill climbing, was driven from San Bernar dino, California, over the National Old Trails and Swartout Valley Highway, to the Big Pines Recreation Camp. The entire 36.2 miles were made in high Long, lew rnd flref are the linet etui strikingly tttHiifut lite colort of the new Tor dor Stden.

I k."n example of the stamina and performance of the new Ford was shown in the ascent of Ben Neris, the highest mountain in Great Britain. This extremely difficult and dangerous climb was made oyer rock-strewn, al most impassable mountain trails. gear a particularly severe test because of the sharp turns and a stretch of 5.7, miles where the grade rises precipitously from 3000 to 6075 feet. Other incidents are even more dra matic. 'A letter from the East tells how the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield of the new Ford prevented injuries from flying ' glass when the car was forced off 'the road into a telegraph pole. A ' new.s-reel photographer tells how the brakes on the new Ford saved his life when, speeding through a bliz zard to film a shipwreck, he found him self suddenly "on the very edge of a 50-foot cliff. From a far western state a husband and father writes gratefully to tell how the sturdiness of the new Ford "saved the lives of my family" when the car was struck by a hit-and-run driver. Come in see the new Ford car and drive it yourself through thickest traffic, up steepest hills, over roughest roads. You will know then that it is an unusual value at a low price.
