The Diamond Clue

If Conan Doyle were beginning his Sherlock Holmes stories today there would undoubtedly be a reference to a mono graph which Holmes had written on the subject of tire iiIfprints as factor in deduction.
 The average man, even the average automobile owner, sees no special signii- canoe in the tire imprints on city street. but to men in the tire business, tire tracks are full of meaning.
 Tn 15 or 70 minutes walk I could tell pretty closely how Diamond safety tread tires stand in this city, said Birming- ham diamond salesman the other day. "The imprint of our tire is as plain as print to salesman. Wherever l go 1 catch myself scanning the pavements. especially on wet days or where they have been eprnkied. Robinson Crusoe didn't spot the footprints any quicker than can pick out Diamond safety tread track from maze of other tire prints.
 Maybe the Diamond track is easier to pick out than others. for it is distinctive in having both cross and parallel bars. and as 1t never slips, every set of bars makes sharp. clear-cut imprint. Then. too, a great many car owners use our tire on all four wheels, because this tire will not sidetrack car on crowded street or road"

The New Packard

Left drive and control are embodied in the Packard "3S" for 1913 as the natural accompaniment of a positive self starter, In order to enable the driver to reach his seat and start the motor without stepping into the road. Starting, lighting, ignition and car huretor controls are on the, steering column within reach of the driver s hand.
 The Bosch high tension magneto which was adopted at the inception of the Packard six. has been retained as the best typebf ignition for the Packard "3S.''
 A generator charges the storage bat tery which furnishes current for the electric cranking device as well as for lighting and battery ignition.
 The cylinders are of the L-head type. cast in pairs. The valves are all on one side and are completely enclosed by aluminium covers. The motor oil- ing system is of the same style as, that used on the "4S," providing positive fabrication which adjusts itself auto matically to all piston speeds. The horsepower by the~A. l.. A. M. rating is 3S actual brake horsepower 60.
 The Packard "3S" was designed to meet the demand for a smaller six cylinder car affording ease of opera ton combined with luxurious riding quality and constant efficiency. It re- tairs all the vital features which es- tablished the Packard as the dominant six

Big Sales in Birmingham

As an indication of the wonderful strides which the automobile industry is making in the south, particularly in Birmingham, the report of the Highlands Garage company for the past nine months is particularly interesting. Dur
 ing that period the above concern has sold to their customers in and around Bir- minsham more than 100 cars, ranging in price from S1O00 to $6o00. making their total sales amount to more than s2oo,VU.
 The concern mentioned has the agency
 for line of cars that win fit the pocket
 book of all classes for the man of mod crate means as well as the man who can
 afford the best and biggest car on the market and the motoring public is in- debted to them for bringing the new models to Birmingham almost simultan-
 eously with their introduction in the large motor centers
 The announcement of the new Oldsmo-
 bile Baby Six by the Highland company has created a good deal of interest among motor enthusiasts here, inasmuch as 1t brings to light an interesting story in connection with the placing of this. new car on the market. Six of these cars were given thorough trying out on the roaus for a period of IS months before they were offered to the public. The cars were
 made in a small town in northern Mich igan and the mechanics who manufac- tured and assembled them were ignorant of the company for whom they were working and the make of car that was being tested out. The car when put on l the market, however, created tremen- dous sensation everywhere. Although a
 model has not been received here yet, l there have been four Baby Six Oldsmo- | piles sold here on the strength of pub
 lished announcements and the past per- | formance of Oldsmobile cars owned here. | Chester A. Whitehead. who accompanied l the drivers on the Meridian reliability l tour, driving a Marmon, although not ] competing for the cup, made remark

 Examining the records relating to one Bretcher, who has just cor'.pleteds 13 months Imprisonment, M. Bertillon was led to the discovery that the prisoner was not .Bretcher at all, but man named Fedide, who had been sentenced to only 10 days imprisonment

ridian was carried away by a Studeoaker 50, driven by Charlie Armstrong, Me ridian manager for the company, anu young man widely known here. The car mode the trip. and it was hazardous, without an error and from the talk heard of the Studebaker, the car is excellent. Charlie Armstrong, who piloted the ma chine, received his training under Judge Daniel Greene of this city, who schooled him carefully. His promotion to the Meridian branch followed. The new Stude- baker cars have attracted wide attention here. The local representatives of the Studebaker corporation. which includes @. R. Reed and Judge Dan Greene have seldom failed to give their cars the se- verest test possible. They have entered all good road tours and have on many occasions sent a car whizzing through the country on thesir own initiative sImp- ly to get the tests on record.
 There has been considerable talk about the Studebaker cars since the new model cnme out There was on that account considerable interest in the test given the car on the trip last week. It is intensc- ly gratifying to the management that the car showed up so splendidly.

The Highland Garage, one Of the local automobile companies, which seldom II ever neglects- an opportunity to con tribute to the movement of good roads, entered two Buick automobiles last week in the Meridian trip. No money was involved in whether the Buicks made the trip without an error or not, yet there is considerable rejoicing on the part of l.. A. Whitehead, president or that Company; B. M.

TEXAS COTTON CROP
DISTRIBUTE $25,OOOOOO TO &ABORERS
BRINGS $2OO,OOO,OOO

Austin. Tex, Nov. at is estimated
that of a total probable production of
$500 900 bales of cotton in Texas this
season, approximately $500 600 bales
had been ginned up to Nov. I. The pick
ing of the remainder of the crop viii
be nearly over Dec I, unless work is
interfered with by bad weather.
On this estimate of the total yield at
an average price of Approximately go
per bale, including the sale OF the seed,
the farmer Will have derived from the
crop a total of nearly $500. 600, 600.
1t is stated by bankers that owing to
the fact that the product was marketed
this year almost as fast as it was 9Th
cred, the money already brought into
the state from the sales made up to
this time aggregates nearly $780, O00
600,
Beneficial effects of this enormous
addition to the circulating medium in
Texas are to be noted in all lines OF
business and industry. This is par
ticularly true of south and central Tex
as, where the harvest season is prac-
tically over.
The plants in north and west Texas
are still loaded with unopened bOlls,

on the markets here this year. but are
the best Raised in northern CalifOr-

IS not necessary, the spuds do not

served with bit Of butter, is worth

Colorado potatoes, once touted as the
fipest in the west are no longer in
favor in the 81 PaSO market. COntin-
uous planting in the same ground has
caused a degenerate spud. the market
men say, and the Colorado variety is
especially susceptible to dry rot, scab

Potatoes are no longer sold at 50

and all that is lacking to bring about
their maturity is q few more weeks or
favorable weather. The early clearing
OF the fields in the south half of the
state has enabled the labor shortage in
the other cotton producing districts to
be relieved Hundreds OF MeNicans and
negroes have been imported from To-
calities where the harvesting is finished

ficiaries Of this branch of agriculture.
When the fact is considered that In
Texas cotton planters viii have paid
out this season approximately $4,000

may be had of the prosperity which q

enjoying
