IMPRESSION FALSE.
Believing that a false impression

state that during the long years
that I have served the people of
Morrow county as commissioner I

In ten years the national income
of the people of the United States
has increased from twenty-seven
billion dollars to ninety billion dol
lars. In the same period the out
put of electric energy in the coun
try has doubled twice.
The secret of America's success
is the secret of Am erica's product
ive power. Wealth depends upon
the power of human beings to pro
duce; and electric energy today is
multiplying the productive capacity
of American workmen from four to
forty fold.
Providing this electric energy is
a highly complicated business. The
technical problems involved in
building power plants and transmis
sion lines large enough to care for
public demand many years in ad
vance have taxed the capacities of
the world's greatest engineers.
i
Only because individual initiative
has been given free play has the
electric light and power industry
been able to give America what is
admitted to be the best electric
service in the wiorld.

have had no other thought in mind
than to give every matter coming
before me thoughtful and honest
consideration.
The question was raised by the
members of the "committee" of tax
payers who visited the court last
week why one Portland firm was
receiving all the contracts for fur
nishing road working machinery to
the county; and in this connection
it was intimated that myself and
the .county road master must be
getting a "rake off" from this firm
on account thereof. To substan
tiate this assertion, Mr. Mason of
lone produced a letter which he
claimed came from the representa
tive of this firm, in which it was
suggested that as purchasing agent
for the city of lone he might re
ceive a commission for buying some
fire hose and a nozzle from cms
firm. The evident Impression sought
to be made was that this company
had this habit of doing business,
and therefore those county officials
who had anything to do with the
buying of road machinery and
equipment were induced to turn
the business to this firm because of
the commission that would come to
them. In looking over this letter,
which was handed to the court for
inspection, it struck me that it was
not from the Howard Cooper peo
ple at all, or their representative,
but came direct from the people
who had the fire fighting equipment
to sen. I am sure of this, and I

Always .
a square USED
CAR deal from
the TiuickDealer
The Buick dealer is in business to stay. His
future reputation depend upon his treating
used car buyers fairly.
He wants to please used car purchasers be
cause he knows that satisfied used car cus
tomers are prospective new Buick buyers.
The man who buys a good used car hon
estly represented at a fair price receives
splendid value in transportation.
In his enthusiasm for the car be has bought,
and the value he has received, it is only
natural for him to look upon the dealer as
his friend.
The Buick dealer has many such friends
because he represents the true condition of
the used cars he offers for sale.
And that is good business for the Buick
dealer, as well as the used car buyer.

think it was a rather raw piece of
business to pull just at this stage
of the game, and was done with no
other apparent reason than to put
me In a bad light with the people
of the county, and at a time when
it would be next to impossible for
me to refute It
I will simply say for myself that
such an Implication is entirely false,
and is certainly beneath the dignity
of any one who desires to stand as
high in the estimation of the people
of his community as docs Mr. Ma
son. People who have known me
all these years in Morrow county
will understand that I am willing
to stand on the record I have made
as county commissioner, and such
mistakes as I have to my credit I
will have to stand up under, but I
resent this implication and hope
that my friends will also.

Protect Your
Investment
in Your
Model T Ford
THE Ford Motor Company is making a new car, but it is
still proud of the Model T. It wants every owner of one
, of these cars to run it as long as possible at a minimum
of expense.
Because of this policy and because of the investment
that millions of motorists have in Model T cars, the Ford
Motor Company will continue to make parts until, as
Henry Ford himself says, "the last Model T is off the road."
More than eight million Model T Fords are still in active
service, and many of them can be driven for two, three
and five years and even longer.
So that you may get the greatest use over the longest
period of time at the lowest cost, we suggest that you take
your Model T Ford to the nearest Ford dealer and have
him give you an estimate on the cost of any replacement
parts that may be necessary.
You will find this the economical thing to do because a
small expenditure may enable you to maintain or increase
the value ofhe car and give you thousands of miles of
additional service. 1 ,
No matter where you live you can get these Ford parts
at the same low prices as formerly and know they are made
in the same way and of the same materials as those from
which your car was originally assembled.
Labor cost is reasonable and a standard rate is charged
for each operation so that you may know in advance
exacdy how much the complete job will cost.
