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

TH-rift after Mrs. G. presented it thusly:
"Are we content to drift along with no prepara

"Or, are we thriftly going to save money for the
future ?
"A bank account will help us meet possible mis
fortune without a qualm.
"And when opportunity knocks it will make it
