judge whether or not he has

Mr. Moore has the distinc
tion of having initiated the
zone system of rural super

Take the Difference and Buy a Liberty Bond
A Ford will do anything: the higher priced,
cars will do and at much less cost. The man who
buys a high priced car is just as much a slacker
as the man who will not buy a Liberty Bond or
contribute to the Red Cross and Y. M. U A. funds.
There is no one who can not get along with 5
a Ford uniil after the war at least. Then if he j
sees fit can trade in his Ford at a very little de-
preciation towards a higher priced car, which will
itself cost nuch less after the war. You will then
have the use ef the Ford car during this time, and 5
the Liberty Bond, together with its interest, will f
more than buy this more elaborate car, and you
will, in. the meantime have helped your Govern-
merit win the war. t
