No m " for Hixi In Yelps of the Ho?nd One of the favorite stories heard anions the fox hunters at tlicii state 'm'eeilnK was that of a man who was being taken out for his first fox hunt. For a long time the hunters sat on a damp log In the woods In the darkness, dark-ness, waiting for the Uo;;s to hit s trail, snd the veterans of ibe chase swapped stories of former hunts. Suddenly Sud-denly In the far distance was beard 'the deep, full baying, mingled with tne sudden eager yelps of the hounds , In full pursuit '.There now listen to that music, will you?" one veteran announced. triumphantly, trying to ensenUeaa.4..aniall...inde pendent-nteat. .-dealer.- who ythustasm In the mind of the younger j with his limited capital, modest buy-man buy-man ling power and single location.

Bank of American Fork 38 Years Successful Banking if- Revolutionary changes- are taking place in the meat business, all the way from production and feeding of livestock down to distribution to the ultimate consumer. On the one hand, production of meat animals is more and more the business of the small producer, who raises livestock, as a means of profitable diversification and of fertilizing ths soil It would seem that In the production ana feeding of livestock, there Is a tendency tend-ency towards getting away from so-called so-called "mass production" In favo,r of j the Idea of a few animals on every I farm and ranch. I Not so with the meat business, -it would seem. Important changes are taking place in the distribution of ' meats to the public. We have seen i the advent of the chain store system, featuring immense buying power and ! often narrow margins of profit, to I such an extent that many of the "In-I "In-I dependent" retail meat dealers have been forced out of business. These j chain meat stores have developed to a point where several of the larger concerns are now doing their own slaughtering and meat packing. Press dispatches tell of the plea on the part of a producers' organization i in the Corn Belt calling upon the (government for a modification of the , "packers consent decree," permitting I the national meat packers to engage 1 In the retail meat business. This ; organtzatoin believes that the paek-1 paek-1 ers should be permitted to retail meau in competition with i those chain store organizations which 'are now both slauhtering-ani retailing retail-ing on an extensive scale. They -ftf! that the b!g packers v. itii thelr'Tstron'g financial eet-up and efficient orK iuiza-: iuiza-: tions, might well pare down the mar-; mar-; r.in between what the producer re-I re-I eclves for his livestock and what the : consumer pays. No expression has come forth from the large meat pack-j pack-j ers to indicate that they care to gc : into the business of meat retailing, i however. j All of these thing seem to point towards the gradual elimination of the able to compete with the chain stores, with large buying power, adequate finances and volume sales. Many students of the trade am of the opinion that electric refrigeration may completely revolutionise the retail re-tail meat business, citing the fact that the corner drug store may now display attractive cuts' of meat In an electric refrigerator. This new system of retailing meats', is already being tried, out In various places. The meat cuts are prepared at " the packing house and are weighed, .marked and priced and need merely bs wrapped, up by the same clerk who sella tie other thousand and one things in the modern drug store. - Naturally, Americans are proud of the democratic way business has been conducted in this country and many will regret the fact that It Is getting more difficult every day for a young man with limited capital to get into business "on his own." Yet there Is a general feeling that we have too many individual retail shops and that the difference between what the producer pro-ducer receives and what the consumer pays is subject to Justlfitable critic ism. Probably there are too many re tail meat shops without sufficient volume to pay their way, all trying to get by at the expense of consuming consum-ing public. If ttrese radical economic changes in the retailing of meats will lessen that spread, no doubt both the producer and the public at large will benefit Undoubtedly the chain stores have a chance to reduce the cost of distribution dis-tribution expense where the public support Is on a cash and carry plan. It would seem, however, that with sufficient volume, retail markets with the usual sidelines, should be able to function successfully. In all ofthese questions, too, there is one element which can neither be bought nor sold but which L? vital to every activity and that Is the priceless ingredient honor and integrity, and this is a factor that must be reckoned with. There is not much chance of anyone any-one forming a combination that even tends to monopolize our distribution. From past experience, it Is safe to ay that the public will do as they think beet as to when and h,ow they supply themselves with their victuals. Some will do one ..thing and some another an-other and these same Ideas, as the fellow says, are "what makes horse trades possible." Easy Biding Qualities Of Ford Explained One of the things for which the new Ford "WliMal'rMdy Wonie famous is its exceptionally easy riding rid-ing qualities over rough roads. Many factors contribute to this, especially the low ratio of unsprung weight to sprung weight, the flexible transverse trans-verse spring, Houdalllo hydraulic shock obserbers, etc., but -perhaps none more than the so-called torque tube drive. This principle of taking the thrust from the rear axel was first introduced Into automotive, practice prac-tice by the Ford Motor Company on the Model T car and has iatef been adopted on many of the finest European Europ-ean and American cars including the' Uncoln. . , The torque tube is a metal houi- tsf surrounding ths driving shaft It takes the driving thrust from the rear axel and carries it to tt universal uni-versal joint housing, potot.well tor- L ward on tha chassis so tliat the car is really polled rather than pushed over the road. This construction also al-so relleTes ths rear spring of any function except .that of. supporting ths load. This permits the leves of the spring to be made flexible and shackled at both; ends, resulting in free and normal action and aa easy absorption of road shocks. - , Radius rods Join : ths torque tube at the forged steel housing of the universal Joint adding- strength and rigidity keeping the' rear wheels in perfect alignment, and further, re suiting in Improved riding; qualities.

There are many reasons for the ease of steering the new Ford TnE nevr Ford is exception, ally easy to eteer because of the well - proportioned weight cf the con, the steel-ppoka steel-ppoka 'wheels, the oo-ordi-naied desifni of springs and .jlwck absorbers, the. size and design of the steering 'wheel, and the simple me-cJntnical me-cJntnical construction of the steering gecr.
