Great Road For 1918

California believes that very large
percentage of those who will visit
her International Exposition, at San
Francisco, in 1913, will be motorists,
many of whom will make the trip
from their homes by automobile. The
Golden Gate Commonwealth, has be-
come noted as a veritable motorists
paradise and most of the visitors will
undoubtedly plan to tour extensively
after visiting the exposition.
To insure this army of tourists the
greatest possible enjoyment during
their stay, was the motive which has
resulted in mapping out tour, de-
signed to include all the best that
California can offer-the sublimity OF
the Pacific, the desolation of the des-
ert, the grandeur of theh Sierra Me-
yadas and the fertility of the valleys.
The word "Pasear" Spanish for loi-
ter about-was selected as the deslg-
nation of the tour. The route is de-
clared by veteran travellers to COM
bine more historic, scenic and natural
attractions than can possibly be in
cluded in any trip of similar length
anywhere in the world.
The pilot tour over the Pasear
route has now been finished The in
formation gathered is in process of
compilation
Representatives of the state gov
eminent, the American Automobile
Association, the California Fish and
Game Commission, number OF prom
inent newspapers and national maya
zines made up the crew of the three
Studebaker go" cars selected as
the vehicles. A service car of the
same type completed the caravan
The route included the famous roads
Ell Canine Real, FL Canine San Di-
ego, Ell Canine Sierra and Ell Canine
Capital, all of them venerable high
ways dating back to the time of the
spanish occupation. In many places
the party had to do real pioneerinb
but in every case the cars came
through unscathed and unassisted. A
great deal of enthusiasm for good
roads was awakened all along the
line of the 2,000-mlle trip.
A unique part of the run was its
reliability feature. The contents OF
he service car had been carefully in
yentoried at the start. When the
tour ended, the inventory was public
~ checked with the contents OF the
car, Not an item of the original
DAD was missing. The cars had come
through the entire run without even
changes in adjustment. Each one
has since been purchased by a men,
Der of the pathtinding party.

Land Is only permanent property.
Those wanting a safe investment
should buy land Stocks and bonds
may melt away like water-which
they possibly are. Money in the av-
erage individuals pocket drlbbles out
through a hundred holes. Jewels are
lost or shrunken in value by clever
limitations. Money goes down as the
prices go up. The gold mines of the
world are pouring their bullion into
the mints by scores of millions a year.
More money means cheaper money.
Just as more potatoes mean cheaper
otatoes. The boarded dollar shrinks
in purchasing value even as one looks
at tit buys less and less of the
real value for which men and women
toll. The advice to all who can spare
anything from the grevious expenses
of decent livelihood Is, buy land
For no more land is being created
population is increasing, and the val
NE of available land in civilized coun-
tries rises continually with the in
creasing demand and the diminish
ing value of coin and bank notes.
The big fellows are grabbing the
land and the profits, knowing that
they have sure thing. And hence.
this suggestion to the little fellows.

Big Business

Notwithstanding the more than e.
200 locomotives, the more than 1907
900 freight and coal cars. ordered
by the railways of the United States
since the beginning of the year, the
wide spread activities of business in
the country are already calling into
use such a great number of locOmo-
tives and cars, as compared with for
mer years at this period, that 1t
seems plain that by the middle of
October every engine that can pull,
or car that can hold tonnage and be
moved, win be in operation.
This year 1t is not sectional &C
tivity that stirs the country, out
from Maine to California, from the
Canadian boundary to Key West,
trade is breaking records in every
state.
The manufacturing districts are
demanding transportation for their
outputs and for incoming materials
in larger tonnage than ever before;
the mining districts producing coal,
copper, zinc, lead, and ores of the
more precious kinds, are all at maxi
mum outputs, and resultant larger
requirements of needful supplies for
the operations in mines and for the
necessities and comforts of the min
ers and other employees.
The agricultural districts never in
the history of the United States pro-
duced such tonnages of cotton, corn,
wheat, oats, barley, hay, and other
products, and no one doubts that the
fall and winter demands of the ag-
rlcultural districts and of the busy
cities will aggregate tonnages for the
transportation companies to convey
that will be enormously greater than
they ever before were called upon to
provide for.
These conditions are already in
sight, and all our far-seeing, shrewd
merchants in every city and town of
the United States should make early
provision for the securing of their
supplies of merchandise, for the very
largest distribution they have ever
made, the greatest demand from the
general public they have ever seen
is before them in the wholesale and
retail trades of the autumn and
winter months.
Business will make high records
for 1912. records our merchants will
be delighted with as to aggregate
values and average profits.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.

No business man should ever al
low q newspaper published in his

mentioned some where in its col
umns. This applies to all business
general stores, dry goods, groceries
furniture dealers, manufacturing es-
tablishments, automobile dealers
mechanics, professional men and in
fact all classes Of business men and
this does not mean that you should
have q whole, or half or even quar-
ter-page ad in every issue OF the pa
per, but your name and business
should be mentioned il you do not
use more than two-line space. A
stranger picking up a newspaper
should be able to tell just what bust
ness 10 represented in a town by
looking at the business mentioned IN
the paper. This Is the best possible

not advertise his business does an
injustice to himself and the town.
He 10 man who expects the news

If there was ever propitious time
to buy land in this country it is right
now, when values range lower than
they ever will again. Everything in
the crop line is the finest ever seen

not far distant when there will be a
very appreciate rise in the present
prices asked for good farms in this
