I How V.it r.pfc .. rererwil fame ! ai'pat in f.girrt for lat year which fbow the of approximately 4,- ! 000,000 motor earn tiunng 123 an coirparrd with lOO.POO horse-drawn v hi. r. The article foHowg: i "The automt.hi.e of the past attain ed auccesa in r ite of iu price, be caoe there were more than enouph purrhaera t be found to take the limited output of the then new indus try. Proportionality few could buy. but thove few cou'd keep all the n-.an-ufacturen busy. The price therefore had no besrinp on aates. "The automobiie of the present is making rood because the price haa been reduced just enough to add suf ficient new purchasers to take care f the increased output. Supply and demand, not cost, has it la ted the neliinjr price of automobiles. The car of today it better by far than the car of a few years ao the natural result of experience. The price is lower, just enough to add sufficient possible purchasers to buy the in creased output. "The automobile of the future must ba enough better than the present car to beget confidence in the man of limited means and enough lower in price to insure sales for the enor mously increased output. The car of the future must be 'the ear for the people,' the ear that any man can own, who can afford a horse and carriage; and mark my words, that car is coming sooner than most people expect, "In the low-priced car dwells the future success of the automobile. Comparatively few persons can af ford even a $1,000 ear. A limited number of factories can easily sup ply all the demand for high-priced cars, but the market for a low priced car is unlimited. More than 2.000, 000 horse drawn vehicles were sold by American factories in 1909. When you substitute a motor-driven ve hicle for each of these two million wagons and carriages, you get an idea of the automobile of the future. "The low-priced car will not be a make-shift, an automobile by court esy, a machine built for price. It is harder to sell to a man who can only afford a low-priced car than to the man whose money comes more easily. Not only must the successful car of the future be low priced, but it must present at least equal value with the present high-priced cars, "The low-priced car should actually be better than the car at a higher price, for wiore i expected of it. The man who caa afford the high priced car can afford maa to keep it in order, while the aun who has to buy a low-priced car, if any, has to look after it himrelf, whether or not he hat any mechanical ability, like wi, when be buys, h buys for bus iness use and pleasure too. That condition prevails today. The low priced car mutt be better built than the higher-priced product, because it rccehes harder use. The successful low-priced car of today ia successful because it stands harder nsage than ia accorded to I.S.OOO creations, " Equally important with low cost as a qualification of the car of the fu ture ia 'low cost of upkeep.' The weekly expense of an automobile will be more important to the man whose income is (100 a month thaa will the coat price. The one ht has saved by easy stages, the ohter must be taken out of his earnings. Gasoline bills, repair bills, tire bills must be low. They should be as low as the expense bills for a horse and carriage. This low maintenance account can result on'.y from light weight, "So the car of the futurs will be light as well as low priced. This means the substitution of quality for quantity even to the use of ma terials not yet discovered." It is notable, also, in connection with the foregoing prophecy by Mr. Ford, that during last year 2,090,959 Ford cars and trucks were produced, fulfilling the statement made in 1910 that the light, low-priced car would enjoy the greatest popularity. HARDMAN NEWS ITEMS. Last Saturday the first baseball game of the season for Hardman high was played with Condon high on the Hardman diamond. This was not only the first game of the season for Hard man, but the first game in the his tory of the school. In view of this fact, the boys made a good showing and deserve to be complimented on their good playing, especially in the first half of the game. At the end of the first inning the score was 5 to 1 in Condon's favor, but Hardman Gilliam & Bisbee's jZ? Column j& turned the tables ia the second in ning and had the best of the game till the seventh inning. Condon then re deemed themselves and the game ended with the score 18 to 12 in Con don's favor. The next gain for Hardman will be played at Heppner Saturday with Heppner high. lone will play here next Saturday, April 19. The juniors of the high school are now preparing "The Prairie Rose.' a four-act comedy-drama, which they will present during the Anal week of school. This will take the place of the uual commencement exercises, as there is no senior class to grad uate here this year. Thia play is one of the best comedy-dramas for high school presentation. It abounda in pathos of the simple out-of-doors life of the west, and the tragic climax is relieved by the humorous situation closely associated with it. The pre sentation of the drama will call for the best efforts of the students. The girls of the high school gave an entertainment in the auditorium last Friday evening. Refreshments were served after the program. A FABLE IS RIGHT. Once upon a time there was a mail order printing concern who put back into the town every dollar that bad been sent them for job work. They were deeply interested in the town and boosted it whenever they had aa opportunity to do so. If a cititrn knew of a public im provement that was needed he imme diately laid the facta before this out of town printing concern and they worked for it with all their might because they believed in the town and were interested in it's future welfare. If a committee was appointed to go out and collect money for a com munity interest they always called on the owners of the mail order house for the committee was sure of a hearty response at nil times. If the men who worked for the house needed a curling iron, a box of tacka, n pound of prunes they pur chased it from the merchant who sent them their job work. There was once a mail order print ing house who did these things yes, there was like h , MINORS NOT PERMITTED IN POOL HALLS.
