Ford, President of the Ford Motor Company, makes the following announcement : "Weare making another reduction in the prices of Ford cars and the Ford truck, effective today. The new prices average $70.00 under the former prices, and are the lowest at which Ford cars and trucks have ever been sold. List prices, F. O. B. Detroit, are now as fol lows: New Old Re Price Price duction Chassis $295.00 $345.00 $50.00 Runabout... 325.00 370.00 45.00 Touring Car. 355.00 415.00 60.00 Tyick 445.00 495.00 50.00 Coupe 595.00 695.00 100.00 Sedan. 660.00 760.00 100.00 "This is the third price cut during the past twelve months. On September 22, 1920, the price of the Ford touring car was reduced from $575 to $440; June 7th to $415, and now to $355, making total reductions in this type of $220, or 38 per cent. The same proportionate reductions have been made in all other types. One year ago the price of the Ford Sedan was $1175; today it lists at $660.00 with the same equipment. "We are taking advantage of every economy in the manufacture of our products in order that we may give them to the public at the low est possible price, and by donig that, we feel that we are doing the one big thing that will help this country into more prosperous times. People are interested in prices, and are buying when prices are right. "The production of Ford cars nad trucks for August again broke all previous high records with the total reaching 117,696. This is the fourth consecutive month in which our output has gone over the hundred thousand mark, the total for the four months being 463,074, which has gone a long way in making possible the present reductions. June this year, with an output of 117,247, was the previous record month. "One noteworthy feature of our sales is the increased demand for Ford trucks and cars for salesmen. This class of commercial business has been gradually ncreasing hte past sixty days and we interpret it as a very good sign of improvement in general business. "No reductoin has been made in the price of the Fordson Tractor, and none is contem plated." Goover these new pricesl See how little it costs to become the owner of a Ford car or a Ford truck.

WHITEIS Real Estate and Insurance, Heppner. 3 ST2lHAT APPROXIMATELY $700,000,000 is required by the public utility companies of tho country to provide service for an additional million inhabitant is one of the interesting facts brought forth in the recently published report of Senator William M. Calder's Com mittee on Reconstruction and Production. After a searching inquiry into the various conditions bear ing ujJon the housing situation and the country's industrial pro duction, the Committee finds that the business of public utilities has outgrown their plant facilities owing to the inability of the companies to finance improvements and additions necessary to take care of increased service demands. "Prior to the war," states the Committee, "it is estimated that the normal annual requirements of elecric railway, gas, and electric light and power companies for extensions, betterments, and improvements was about $500,000,000, proportioned as follows; electric railways, $250,000,000; gas companies, $125, 000,000; electric light and power companies, $125,000,000. The Committee has informed that for four years not over 10 per cent of such betterments has been made, leaving an ac cumulation of about $1,200,000,000. If to this sum is added the $700,000,000 required alone for service to new residential buildings held in abeyance, a total of approximately $2,000,000, 000 seems necessary for the public utility program in the im mediate future. "The question of placing these businesses on a sound finan cial basis ij order that credit may flow to them is the same ques tion which confronts steam railroads and housing, but in the case of public utilities the situation is more difficult because there is no central body as now provided in the case of steam railroads which might adjust rates in proper relation to operat ing costs and capital investment. The utilities likewise suffer ia their effort to secure new capital for necessary extensions of sen-ice by the almost insurmountable difficulty of having to com pete for such capital with municipal, state and similar tax exempt securities. Until these problems are solved tha public should recognize this underlying reason for much of the faulty service and for the failure to provide the additional facilities urgently demanded to meet community needs." paid adv.
