LONDON, July 5.—(/Pi—The long
drawn-out war of the Pitcher-and
Basin, which has been raging on the
tourist front here for something like
20 years, has ended in victory for
the foreign invader.
The hotel keepers of Great
Britain have run up the white
flag with an announcement to
the effect that tty January 1, 1930,
no less than 250 British hotels will
have had their bedrooms piped for
hot and cold running water.
It was the American expedition
ary force of well-to-do travelers
that turned the tide. They did
most of the grumbling and fuming
that finally wore down the stub
born resistance of the inn-keeper >.
Numerous Englishmen wrote to
their newspapers in support of the
jolly old hostelries where water
runs only when you tip the pitcher,
and stated earnestly that they really
preferred the easy-going, unmodem
hotel. But the hotel men noticed
more and more of their potential
American trade going to the con
tinent, where modern plumbing can
be found even in second-rate hotels.
Their final capitulation, of course,
does not mean that the reparations
already have been collected.

Used Cars

I Our policy in setting
I used cars is just what
II b ‘ Si & * K . j
I you would hope
WHEN you buy a car which has
passed from the hands of its first
owner, you would like to be sure
of two things. First—you want to
know, of course, that the used car
you buy has a generous amount of
unused mileage in it. Second—you
hope you are not being charged
for an excessive trade-in allowance
which the dealer may have made
in order to sell a new car. In
% short, that you are paying just
what the used car is worth.
The Ford dealer’s policy in sell
ing used cars is exactly what you
would hope to find. For instance,
when we sell a Model T Ford
which has been traded in for a
Model A, that used car has been
thoroughly and carefully recon
ditioned. With it goes a guarantee.
JWhen we sell used cars of other
j 1926 Ford model T roadster
I 1926 Ford model T coupe
1925 Ford model T truck cab
and steak body
makes (and we have many kinds
traded in for Model A Fords) we
tell you frankly what you may ex
pect, and the price is based on the
amount of mileage we think you’ll
get from that car.
Regarding the price of the used
cars we offer, you can be certain
there has been no inflation to care
for excessive trade-in allowances.
The new Ford car is priced right
—so close to the cost of produc
tion and selling that there is no
margin, or leeway, for unreason
able trade-in concessions.
For these reasons it is worth
your while to come to us when
you are thinking of buying a used
car. Nearly always we have a gen
erous selection. Come in today
and look over the following bar
gains in unused mileage:

Secretary of Agriculture
Says Farming Is Not
Doomed
ATLANTA. July 5.—(/P)—Agricul
ture is neither doomed nor are
farmers about to be reduced tb a
condition of peonage. Arthur M.
Hyde, secretary of agriculture, told
the annual meeting of the National
, Education association Thursday.
“I do not share the fears of those
who mourn the alleged fact that,
in the struggle with industrialism,
agriculture always has gone down,”
he said.
Turning to the feasible measures
of relief, the secretary pointed out
that helpful measures include tariff
increases, cheaper transportation,
reforestation of marginal lands, and
research to find new markets and
new uses for general farm products.
“There are many methods of par
tial relief.” he said, “but, in a large
measure, the means of relief is or
ganization—organization to control
marketing, to standardize output,
and to eliminate waste end the du
plication of a marketing system.
“By the long arm of his own or
ganization. the , farmer can reach
out over his own line fences and
make himself felt in the markets ct
the world. By organization, the
farmer can aid in bringing his pro
duction within the limits of de
mand, he can eliminate the farm
problem, and win his own place in
the sun of economic equality.”
