A few years g II was thought that
wheel bases had reached their limit as to
length, There was even q slight reaction
and wheel bases shrank a little. The toy

a sort OF protest against the extremes to
which designers were asserted to have
gone. II is now plain that the halt called
on big cars was merely temporary and that
wheel bases are still being inerSased. A

Charles L. Jeffrey. one of the automobile
manufacturers, estimates that more thar
sS0,OO0.Oo 0 will be spent for automobiles by
10000 American people during 1910, and the
majority of these will make the expendi-
ture not for the mere acquisition of a new
luxury, but as a safe and conservative in
vestment.
These figures ne says, 'tdo not take
into account published statements of prob
able outputs, but are based upon quite
authentic reports %presaging a total output
by all makers OF 1000 0O cars. This estimate
provides Tor an average selling price of
but $500. although the average price of the
ten best known and Oldest established cars
is about 5000. Nor does this stimate take
account Of the sales OF automobile acces-
sories.
Here is an investment Of $50, 900. 900 and
plenty of reasons are offered for its being
made. Each day brings new and varied ex-
plantations for the rapidly increasing sales
Of automobiles, but what seems to be the
main reason Is most frequently overlooked.
1 believe the average man buys an auto
mobile because he believes II to be a good
investment
"A Chicago business man of large inter
ests. speaking of his country estate, in the
development OF which he has spent a great
deal OF money, said recently: The automo-
bile has made possible a permanent home
In the country. Such a thing for a busy
man was quite out OF the question a few
years ago.
THE automobile has been a good invest
ment for this man. The development OF
such estates, situated at some distance from
any, railroad, has been made possible BY
this simple solution of the problem OF
transportation WITHOUT loss OF valuable
time.
I'm the same way the average man knows
that he is sure OF adequate returns upon

A squeak that is very annoying and
sometimes hard TO locate is that made by
the base OF a glass screen rubbing on the
dashboard. The cutting of the base OF a
glass front so that Vt will conform exactly
to the shape OF the dash is often a difficult
task. The result is that instead OF resting
securely all around, it will bear only on
the high places. making a tight tit impos-
sible, and cause the squeak. The trouble
may be remedied by placing a strip OF

international Auto Buggy

The International auto buggy is a thoroughly depend
able car for country towns and rural road purposes. For
the purposes intended this car is unquestionably in a class
by itself. Users frequently report that it will travel in
places where a horse and buggy cannot possibly go. II is
economical TO run, is furnished with two seats and ton. two
seats without top, one seat and top, and one seat without
top, as the purchaser desires. The rear seat can be removed,
making room for freight. Business and professional men,
rural statesmen, farmers, and country town residents win
find in the International auto buggy a car that can be used
for business, shopping, making social calls, for those pleas
uTes which require a spin over country roads, and one that
can be driven by a woman or child. For such purposes this
car will meet every demand.

State Business
Shows Increase
Is Reflected in Annual Report
of Pere Marquette.

Washington, Sept. 26.--Optimis ism
for the business development OF Mich
igan may be read between almost all
the lines Of the annual report of the
Pere Marquette railroad just filed
with the Interstate Commerce COM
mission.
The Pere Marquette is distinctively
Michigan railroad, With practically
ali its freight originating within The
state boundaries. Hence its report Of
the amount Of freight originating on
its own lines during the year ending
June 80. 1910, gives an indication of
the business development in the state.
So they say here.
The report shows that the freight
origin ating on the lines Of the Pere
Marquette for the year aggregated
1897, 252 tons as compared with 3,4l4.-
6l7 for the year ending June 80, 1909.
The gross freight tonnage for. 1910
was 9,9S5 ,693, as compared with S,475,-
235 for 1909.
The PeTs Marquette gains in freight
tonnage are attributable to mining,
manufacturing and merchandise trad
| ing, and not To agriculture, lum ber
nor TO animal industry. though the
| fruit tonnage shows nice gain. There
| is said to be reasons TO believe that
these figures accurately represent 0f
| business development in Michigan
since they coincide, as far as they go,
| with the inference to be drawn from
the recently announced census figures
of population.
The total tonnage of agricultural
products originating on the lines of
the Pere Marquette railroad in 1910
was 727 $40, as compared with SlS,9 900
in 1909. Hay tonnage was materially
| less in 1909. Fruits and vegetables
alone made gain, the tonnage for
| 1910 being 206972 as compared with
los, 536 the year before. Animal in
judging by these figures, for the 1910
tonnage was l12,323, whereas it was
l60, ,030 in 1909.
But when It comes TO manufacturr
ing and mining the story is quite diff
erent, The mines along the lines of
the Pere Marquette contributed on
1910 tonnage of l,059,2S5 and only
| 696,7 1853 the year before. Part of this
remarkable increase was due to the
jump in the soft coal industry, which
contributed tonnage Of 479,695 as
compared with 27l OBS in 1909.
The term mining used in the report
is broad. covering the excavation of
sand aud stone, or which the road
hauled 473,2l6 tons in 1910 as against
300, ,430 tons in 1909. The jump in
manufactures was quite as notable.
though it doesnot show off SO much
in the terms or tonnage. The 1910
tonnage Of manufactures originating
on the lines OF the Pere Marquette
was 399 ,0l6 and but 35l 1856 the yeal
previous. This increase means sn b.
stantial gain in finished handiwork OF
high class such as automobiles,
Merchandise originating on the Pere
Marquette lines in 1910 was 797 .097
tons, as against 52S, 600 tons in 1909
Sugar is the only product connected
with agriculture TO show an increased
tonnage, the aggregate in 1910 being
%, 794 and in 1909, 1928 Forest pro-
ducts dropped from 662, 1881 in 1909 tC
636.5 .533 in 1910.

Supt. Northon Calls Attention
to the Non-attendance of
School Pupils.

Upon comparing our enrolment
with the census list we find that a
number of children between the ages
OF seven and sixteen are not yet in at
tendance at either the public or the
parochial school. We deem it timely
therefore to call the attention Of par
ents and guardians to certain provis-
inR OF the compulsory education law.
1t is the extent OF the law TO safe
guard the interests of the child prim-
arlly in securing to him his chance
for an education against, not only the
seliiShuess and indifference OF his par
ent but even against the parents bust
ness interests. The compulsory law
makes no provision for eXcuSing child
ren under fourteen years Of age from
school attendance because their SER
vices would he convenient at home.
or because the children have not suit
aNle clothing. Provision is made by
law to relieve the latter condition up
on application TO The proper authori-
ties
Section l of Act 200, 1905, provides
that children between the ages of
seven and sixteen are required TO be
ancs at the pubic school during tue
entirc school year except in the fol-
lowing cases:
(a) Children in attendance Ia priv
ate or parochal schools.
(b) Pupils who have completed the
eighth grade.
?. Lc) Children who are physically un
able to attend school. A physician S
certi 6cate may be required.
(d) Children over fourteen years of
age whose services are essential 10
the support of their parents may be
excused by the uperintendent upon
the recommendation OF the scnool
board.
(e) Children under nine years Of age,
whose parents do not reside within
two and one-half miles, by the nearest
traNled road, of some public school,
unless transpOriion Is furnished.
(f) Any child twelve TO fourteen
years Of age while in attendance at
confirmation classes CONDUCTED for a
period not TO exceed five months ia
either Of said years.
IL any parent or guardian wishes TO
Claim exemption for any child under
e. these provisions he should notify the
= superintendent at once. The truant
officer is required by law to investi-
gate all Cases of irregular or non-at-
tendance reported 10 him by proper
authority. Where liability is found
formal notice mast be served To comply
with the law. Please note the follow
ing:
The Attorney General has ruled
that one notice is sufficient for the
year and II after receiving the notice
the Child is not consecutive and regu-
lar attendance you should proceed at
once TO have the parents arrested and
brought into court. The law contem-
plates that the attendance shall be
consecutive and when it fails in that
the parent is liable to arrest. IL. l..
Wright. Supt. of Public Instruction
The enforcement OF the compulsory
law with due regard to fairness and
common sense seem right and
proper to all who respect the
rights of children. We trust that all
SUCH will cooperate with the school
/. aqthpFities to secure the full attend
anve of all our children for the good
. ofthe child and the safety of the com.
munity; and this without resort TO the
laws penalties.

1t will be recalled that following
the discoveries of Irregularities in
the management of the company,
President Sheldon, last December,
was indicted. He died before the in
dictment was pressed. The Phoenix
has since been merged with the Fl.
deity Insurance Company.
The examination Just completed
covers the transactions Of the Pnoe-
nix since the last previous examna-
ton in 1887, rp to September 1909
The examiners find that in all that
time the surplus above the capital
was $421, 200 instead of $3.50 SAG as
was claimed.
The statement charged that Shell.
don maed poor investments; also
that there was general lack of su
oervision by the state, and that the
company practiced deception to the
extent of $1,000O00 in stating the
SaII Francisco losses.
Other charges alleged that Ques-
tionable deals were made. The re-
port says information will be given
the prosecuting authorities.
