usually be safest to have two men go

wind and their pugnacity make them

dog new to the business is almost GER

dog that hunts steadily can escape

right at the heads of the animals. the
probabilities are that it will get killed:
and. as a rule, even two good-sized
hounds cannot kill peccary, though

However, a wary. resolute, hafd-biting
dog of good size speedily gets accus-

peccary single-handed, seizing it from

INDIANA PEOPLE
AUTOMOBILE MAO
This Is Shown by Figures in
The Office Of Secretary
Of State.
MANY BUYING MACHINES
DURING THE PAST THREE
MONTHS OVER TWENTY-FIVE
HUNDRED LICENSES ISSUED TO
NEW OWNERS.

Indianapolis, July 13.-The people of
Indiana are automobile mad, as is
shown by the figures at the ONCE OF
the secretary of state as to the mum.
ber OF machines sold during the three
months from April 1 to July 1. These
figures show that the secretary of
state issued 1851 automobile licenses
during those three months. In the
first eight days of this month he is
sued 249 licenses. an average OF 81 a
day This makes a total of 500 auto
mobile licenses issued from the first Of
April to the ninth of July.
OF course, not all of these were new
machines. but 1t is said that the pro-
portion of second hand machines sold
in the state and included in these fig-
ures was small. When a person buys
machine, no matter whether 1t be
new one or an old one, he is re-
Quired by law to take out an automo-
bile license before he is allowed to run
the thing in the state.
The Average Price.
1t is estimated that the average
price paid for an automobile in this
state is at least 81 800. But when you
consider the number of second hand
machines sold in the state for an aver
age price Of much less than that it is
safe to figure that the average price
for all of the $500 will be at least
81 600 each. This makes q total of
$3,200,000 which people in Indiana
spent for automobiles during the 100
days embraced in the time mentioned.
This is $32.OOO a day.
In the same length of time last year
the records show that 1850 automobile
licenses were issued. Therefore. the
automobile sales this year are practi-
cally double what they were last year.
1t is said that most of the machines
that are being sold now in Indiana
are being sold to farmers. 1t appears
to have become fad for the well-to-do
farmer to have his automobile. and
this is especially true 'of the farmer
who retires from active farm work and
moves to town to enjoy the fruits OF
his labors. He almost invariably has
his automobile to run back and forth
to 1.-The place"
Farmers Extravagant.
Whether all of this indicates that
farmers are becoming extravagant or
whether 1t means that they are more
than an ordinarily prosperous is a
question, but it is a fact that millions
Of dollars will be spent by Indiana
farmers this year for automobiles.
At the ONCE of the secretary Of state
it is said that nearly all of the sales OF
automobiles this year are made for
cash. In some cases notes are taken
for the purchase price, but these are
said to be rare cases. The dealers dc
not have to sell the machines on cred.
it. They can sell all they can get for
cash, for the automobile factories are
being worked to the limit of capacity
and still they are not able to turn out
the machines fast enough to supply the
demand Therefore it is cash that
talks in the automobile business, not
credit.
There are now about 1890 automo'
biles in use in Indiana, as shown by
the records in the ONCE of the secre-
tary of state.
