Golden Rule Service
Service is the one thing that we sell
service in line with the Golden Rule
WE distribute this same Service to all car owners and to
all makes of batteries without discrimination.
When you pay money for a new USL you are buying Golden
Rule Service, of which the battery is but aa essential part. It's
just the same as paying your employees, your lawyer, your doc
tor, your dentist for Service.
Service is the most important thing in the world today. To
all car owners, we aim to be the "greatest Servant of them all."
Our Golden Rule Service, we think, makes us so. But we
invite your careful co-operation in caring for your battery so as
to assure you long battery-life.

Often when a man thinks his
battery is "done for" and he is
ready to buy a new USL, we
show how we can save him money
by repairing his old battery and
giving an adjustment guarantee
for eight months.
We sell only USL Batteries
with the durable machine-pasted
plates. The factory ships them
to us "Dry-Charged." Thisavoicb
all before-sale deterioration so that
you really get a perfect, full-life
battery.

The following resolution was adopted
by the Men's Forum of the Upper V'al-,
ley United Church :
As American citizens the least we
we can do with capital punishment is
to vote tiro or con. But aB men of to
morrow we talipot stop here. We must ,
strike at the cause of the curse that
death penalty is suposed to eliminate.
The demand for the reestablishment
of capital punishment is prompted by
the increase of crime. However, facts
and itatUtiri fhow that death penalty j
.Iocs not deter men from murder. Grava
crime has increased over per cent
during the past three derades in spite
of various penalties.
What ifl more, records show that
ho.nicide has increased two and a half
times as rapidly in states having capital
punishment as contrasted with states
that did not have it. We all know that
at the present there is a vicious v ave
of incteasing crime that is douhtle.-s a
natural byproduct of the war. To stay
this wave of hlood, people demand the
punishment of death.
The question is a deeper one than
capital punishment. It is a question of
rapid and efficient justice instead of
severer penalty. We need to enforce
the laws we already have on the stat
ute books, which are ample if admin
istered with justice and without waste
of time. Playing with law labeled
"Justice" is what invites crime. In
our own state penitentiary a life MD
tence means less than seven ais.
Up to 1013 not a aingle "life-termer"
had (tied in prison. Where do thejj ffol
Men st i ti i to death had their sen
tences commuted to life imprisonment
and life imprisonment, through parole.
paidon and politic, became little more
than a joke.
Too much of judicial procedure
smacks of partiality flavored with in
fjuence and politics, plus coin. In this
way law ceases to be justice and it is
not to be wondered that people lose re
spect for it andjdefy it. We toy with
our crimes tbay become ancient
history. A lawyer in public office
made this assertion : "W e are not
asked to protect justice, hut to protect
the law." Think of the case of Dr.
t'lippen, who in 1911 murdered his
wife and was tried by the Bngliah
court. In lour tluys from the day his
trial was begun he was executed. Now
place beside that some of the red tape
unravelled by our Court of Justice.
What is needed is the certaintv of a
just penalty, not severity. Let justice
be meted out impartially and without
loss of time and crime will decrease.
While we ask for certainty oT a just
punishment, we ask that the penalty
M fitted to ffce prisoner, not to an ab
stract hlSSl code; that the penalty be
adjusted t lit the criminal, not the
crime. Wrf would not I'rus i.inize by
making the state the epd and man an
innocent toot. Give us justice and
crime will wune.
Why kill the man'.' We call upon
those who love justice and righteous
law more than DOEinal legality to
place the emphasis where it belongs.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Surest Thing in the World
Two and two have always made four. Then w ould not he more than three
million five hundred thousand Ford cars in daily service which is just about one
half of all the automobile's in America if the Ford, as a reliable motor car, did
not meet the demands of all classes of people a very where and under all circum
stances. Two and two have always made four. If the material, the iron and the
marvelous Vanadium steel used in the cortltruction of the Ford chassis, were not
of the highest quality known to the science of Metallurgy, then the Ford car
could not have won its world-wide reputation for reliability.
Two and two have always madi' four. When replacements and repairs are
required on Ford cars, the Ford owner will be wise in bringing his car to our
place, bcaUM we use only the Genuine Ford Parts, and we have the Ford skilled
mechanics, and all the Ford knowledge that goes to maintain the high Standard
of quality which is original in the Ford car.
When you want a Ford car or a Ford truck, antl when you want repairs or
replacements for the same, we earnestly solicit your business! assuring you of
prompt attention, real Ford service, and economical Ford prices.
