FORD RETAIL SALES GO OVER MILLION SHOW INCREASE OF 105,000 CARS ' AND TRUCKS OVER PREVIOUS YEAR Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks and Fordson tractors again exceeded 1 the million mark for the year 1921, I according to a statement given out ] today by the Ford Motor Company. The Ford factory and assembly < plant production figures readied a < total of 1,050,740 cars, trucks and s tractors for the year, with retail s sa&es by dealers approximating 1,- i 093,000, which in the United States 1 alone surpassed the 1920 retail sale6 t reoord by 104,213 Ford cars and I trucks. c The Ford Company says the out- s look for 1922 is decidedly optimistic- c In fact, concrete evidence already ex- I ists in that car and truck retail sales , for December, 1921, exceeded Dec em - iur uw:jiiw:i, mwv...

ber, 1920, sales by almost 25 per cent., and Fordson tractor retail sales for the same periods show an increase of over 100 per cent, for December, 1921, as well "as an increase over the total tractor sales for the month of November. These facts seem to indicate that . not only are the farmers buying more is becoming more responsive and receptive. 1 Another point brought out by a comparison of production figures for the past two years shows that Ford enclosed cars are gaining in popularity, as 23 per cent, of the 1921 j production were Sedans and Coupes as against a total of 18 per cent- for the year previousA CAPE MAY FERRY Proposals for the institution of a ferry bet-ween Cape May and Lewes, 1 at the mouth of Delaware Bay, came a step nearer realization through the introduction in the New Jersey.

THE PHOTOGRAPH ; •y MOLL IE MATHER Cvpyrlckt. lilt WMin Nevip&ptr Union Janey sat looking at her adoret friend. "Why," she asked impnlsively, "do you never have your picture taken. Motile? I have not seen one in tbt e house, and you would — " Janey's eyes were caressing, "make such a lovely e picture." n Miss Mollle Demlng, spinster, smiled. "No one would value my photograph, unless It might be you," she replied. "My relatives would doubt leas write polite notes of appreciation - when they received them, and relet gate them to some unremembered cor- . ner." "You know better than that" Janey " Jeered. ; 8he jumped to her feet. ^ "Anyway, I want a picture and 1 am ' going to have It. You look especially : lovely today, like some sweet shepherdess lady, with your soft crinkly white j hair, and your true-blue eyes. Poor Terry will be glad of a job.

[ "Terry posed me so many times and was altogether painstaking, that his " efforts should be rewarded with suc- - 1 cess." she said. "You looked — " Janey mused, "so pretty, and. sort of wistful, sitting there— Mollle ! Do you know, that Is i i the way your eyes always impress me, , by their wlstfulness? Tell me, please, did you have an unhappy love affair? , ' I wonder so much about you at times — I I suppose, because I love you. I would _ ! lie your confidante. Mollle." ) The older woman gazed tenderly. ) thoughtfully, into the eager young , j face upraised to hers, j "People would tell you— your owu ! mother may have told you.

And he loved j me. That. 1 did not doubt. Why doubt the sincerity of this man. when I others had been sincere? I think 1 ! lived In a dream — " Miss Mollle's.eyes ! were misty, across the years ; ' gtUI her voice trembled Its sorrow. "^Mve on in that dream of the past, *sh.ended, sadly.

It was tbopght | that John Douglas, like others, had ■ | been Jilted. But one knew, and after j John disappeared this friend of Ills | came and told me the truth. It wn« j I whom John Douglas bud Jilted, heartlessly, and with a purpose.

"8o. through all the tomorrow I have wqtcbed and waited ; and have lived wearily no one may know — my punishment" When Janey framed her frieod's photograph and placed It upon her dresser, she was moved dlstressfullv later to hide that same photograph away. For the sadness of Mollle's pictured eyes had a provoking trick of bringing quick tears to her own. "That mapl" exclaimed Janey eootemptourty. "Fancy being true to the memory of such a creature." Then ooe day,, as Janey entered unannounced Miss Mollle's sitting room, she faced a picture. And the twe central figures facing the picture continued, happily, oblivious of her pres"it was fate!" the distinguished ap- j peering man was saying, and even in i astonishment Janey responded | sympathetically to the sincerity of that 1 ; voice.

AMERICAN I PHONE CO.: ] 1 AMERICAN PHONE CO- URGES 1 I , STOCK PURCHASE 1 - . - .' a I.lKiara W. Briuain, the district ) of the Dataware and At-|t ■ Telegraph and Telephone eom- l ! pany, is sending cut personal letteislt : to the telephone stihscribers in hisjt district, u.giag their purchase of the j ■ share- of the Aaieican Telephone ] I : and Telegraph company. I Hit? m.'ve is in line with the he . f I thought of the times. || It is becoming more and more tori-It every day to thoughtful people ] that it is very desirable that the. us- 1 of public utilities, services shcc'.d [ inte rested as investors in the com- I panies that render the service. A c widespread ownership of this sort in 2 the communities served leads to a I sympathetic unuets andlng on the r part of the users of such service of a the problems and difficulties wwh 1; which the utiLty companies ate con- o fronted from time- to time, resulting t moie cordial relations between the purveyors of the service and £ p utrons. Another advantage that grsv.s cut o of wide distribution of stock holding y is that the financing of the growth of a the properties, so impertant to the A. ' communities, is made easier by mare g contributing to the necessary o increases in ca;.;tal from time to time p Probably the strongest argument d of all. however, lies in the great de- a sirabiiity of the profits from conduct- ii ing the public utilities' service in the s commuivty, icrr^ining in that com- p 'munitv for tie benefit c-f its own t: jatizens instead of being taken away ti ! the community for the benefit Y stockholders located in other paiis sof the country ci °\ On the recent developments of

^ ! this idea of widespread local owner0 ship of the shares of the public utilie ' ties by their patrons, has been a d I proposition that every, user of the telephone, for example, ought to own >1 enough stock of the telephone com<1 1 pan to pay his telephone bills out of " i the dividends on his stock. There i.-' ! considerable merit in this thought, j ; and in the case of the American Tele- ] prone and Telegraph Company it i- would require the dividends from a ii (very few shares of stock at the rate of $9 00 per share per annum, to -pay ■ the average telephone subscriber's telephone bills I There Is another side to this sort I ' of thing in which this paper is keen5 ly interested; that is the encouragement of habits of thrift and saving i by our people, about which so much - has been publicly spoken and written ' of late years. The Liberty Bond • Campaigns during the war brought | to lignt die enormous possibilities ! that lie in a movement of this kind I in a country like the limited States, 1 where the average earnings of the | i workers < f the country exceed these I of any other on the globe. Hundreds I J of thousands cf jfeoplc started to i ■ save money and become owners of seI I purities that prior to that time had I i never given that son. of thing a iy i serious consideration i The great advantages to a country , ' of having its citizens develop babivs ■ of saving and thrift have become so generally recognized, and the need for it in our own country stands out ! urgently that it is hard to overstate its importance. One of the very best way' to ac- ' cumulate substantial competencies is select high-grade conservative securities, such as the shares of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, and buy them upon some easy payment plap. Almost any bank of trust company wall assist its pato do this by loans against the securities We understand that the American and Telegraph Company, directly or indirectly, owns the entire capital stock of the local Bell Company, and about 90 per cent- of all ( the other so-called Bell Telephone | ! j y e.

The shares of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company are dealt in on the Stock Exchanges of New York, Philadelphia, Qdoago, and Washington, and recent market quotations have been ranging around $117 per shore.

Only a brief forty-six years ago the telephone was exhibited at the Centennial in Philadelphia by Graham Bell, and was regarded by most people as merely another interesting novelty that might perhaps be called a scientific toy. Today its wires reach into every nook, and corner of the continent, connectup some twelve million telephone stations, and it is even possible to pick up your telephone and speak to the Island of Cubt- Transcontinental telephone conversations from New to San Francisoo have become common as to no longer even excite wonder.
