It is often said that craftsmanship is
dead—that careful, painstaking work
doesn’t mix with quantity produc-
tion. We beg to differ ; we know for
a fact that the same spirit that inspired
the craftsman of old goes into the
making of Lone Star Cement and
other building materials we handle.

You may consider that you know the Ford Car. You
may have been a Ford owner for years and think you
are familiar with the splendid satisfaction which the
Ford gives, and yet unless you have made it a point to
examine the Ford car as it is BUILT TODAY to drive
it and note its improved engine performance relax in
it over rough roads, and experience the increased com-
fort it affords, and to learn of the many recent improve-
ments, you do not know the Ford Car as it is built today.
Many of the new Ford car features are obvious balloon
tire equipment wire wheels proxylin finish a choice
of colors improved upholstery, etc., but the big satis-
faction to you, as the owner of Today’s Ford Car is to
be found in the way in which it will fulfill your expecta-
tions of what a modern motor car should be. You will
be amazed at the increased power resulting from the
new Vaporizer, the smoother engine operation, the in-
creased gasoline mileage, the improved riding qualities,
and above all, in the way in which this car handles and
performs in traffic and on the open road.

President Coolidge recently stressed
the importance of everybody’s study-
ing the constitution and exercising the
privileges of the fanchise. Many new-
o oners to this country obtain a very
erroneous idea of a free country and
self government. "Self government is
still government,” said the president,
and "obedience to law is the very
essence of self government.” "Institu-
tions are not hand made, they are not
imposed—they are a growth, they are
the achievement of the people them-
selves. A crude and barbarous people
evuld not establish and maintain a
free republic.
"The best service this country can
render to other countries,” he con-
tinned, "is to leave them secure and
undisturbed to develop their own in
stitutions of freedom.” and set them
a good "example” of successful ideals.
The presiden* also made plain a
pint that is not clearly understood
by many Americans, that our federal
constitution provides -the definition
and protection of all the rights and
liberties of the citizen." The consti-
tiltion. Slid he. is "the sole protection
of the weak against the strong.” It
is another way of saying that our
government is not a government of
majorities, but of fundamental law:
that the rights of the minority in
mat lets of essential justice ami God
given freedom are just as sacred as
are those of the majority: and that
the constitution aims to protect the
weak against tlie encroachments of
Ilie strong. This is a hard lesson f r
I he religious reformer to learn when
he is anxious to fasten the tenets o1
a popular religion upon the weaker
dissenting sects.
