RY it just once? Ask your friend to let you "pilot" his car on an
open stretch. You'll like it, and will be surprised how easily, the
Ford is handled and driven.
If you have never felt the thrill of driving your own car, there is some-
thing good in store for you:. It is vastly different from just riding—being
a passenger. And especially so if you drive a Ford.
Young boys, girls, women and even grandfathers—thousands of them—
are driving Ford cars and enjoying it. A Ford stops and starts in traffic
with exceptional ease and smoothness, while on country ro&.ls and hills
its strength and power show to advantage.
Buy a Ford and you will want to be behind "the wheel” constantly.

T
HE MILITARY SERVICE ACT is passed ; the Procla-
'nation issued October 13th. It is now the bounden duty
of every .man in Class One to report for service or claim
exemption. This includes all bachelors and widowers without
children (not otherwise excepted) who were 20 years old on
the 13th October, 1917, and whose 34th birthday did not
occur before January lst, 1917.
What To Do
Go to your Post Office and ask for the form for reporting for service or
for claiming exemption. The form contains clear instructions for falling
'in. Do this not later than NOVEMBER 10th.
eware of the Last Minute Rush
With so many thousands of reports and claims to be dealt with, the rush
of Class One Men will grow heavier day by day. You will waste less of
your time and serve your own best interests if, you avoid the inevitable
rush on the last days.
The law is being enforced with the Governnient'and the People firmly
behind it. Obey the 14w. Do it today,
