The preliminary hearing of the case
Of the State VS.. G. E. Tucker, charged
with assault and battery on his 49,
year-old daughter with intent to kill
and murder, set for 2 o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon, was taken up by JUS
tice of the Peace H. C. Greer, one
hour after the time appointed.
Through his attorney, Luther Smith,
the defendant waived examination
'and asked that the court fix the bond
for appearance before the grand jury
at a reasonable sum. Judge Greer
thereupon announced that the bond
should be $1,000.
Counsel for the defendant argued
briefly that the amount was unreason
able and asked that the amount be
placed at $1,000. Claude Hill, county
prosecuting attorney, thought $1,50C
was low enough in view of the nature
of the crime charged. After hearing
the argument of counsel the cour
declined to reduce the amount of the

that sudden thaw did not material

On the basis of so per cent crop
damage, the railroads stand to lose
$9,000,O00 in reduced freight receipts.
According to statement by the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce, which
concluded a careful inquiry into the
damage to the citrus crops, the early
estimates of loss were exaggerated.
"All expert opinions" the statement
says, "are to the effect that the ac

INCREASE IN GASOLINE.
White Cars Are Not Affected by the
HIRh Cont.

Steady increases in the cost Of gasoline
in all parts Of the country may be viewed
with dismay by automobile owners and
the automobile Industry in general, but
owners of White cars are affected 50
slightly that they have little or no in
terest in the current crusade to keep
down the cost. nor in the search for a
suitable substitute.
The indifference of White owners Is due
to the high economy of fuel consump-
ton. which is one of the virtues OF the
White long-stroke motor. Service sta
tistics compiled. by this company show
that the gasoline consumption per mile
is SO low in comparison with cars OF
equal power and size that owners are

A motor car should be considered es-
sentialIy as an investment-one which will
pay you a dividend the same as any
other investment.
The profits from a good motor car are
health, pleasure. prestige, increased EN-
cheney, time saved.
\ good car will pay for itself in the
lime it will save in business. IN the op-
portunities It will enable you to grasp,

You want TO go, when you want TO go,

This is service.
Elements of Service.
Service in a motor car is dependent
upon nine factors-reliabiIity. durability.
right amount of power. tiexibility OF con-
troll. mechanical convenience, safety,
comfort. good looks. fair price.
Just in proportion as a car has these
elements will 1t produce that one big re-
suit desired by every automobile owner
satisfactory service. We believe that
without these qualities properly co-ordi-
mated. no car can be a success
This fact has been constantly before
us in the designing and building of Chal-
mers motor cars.
The Chalmers Motor Company was the
first to build a real motor car TO sell for
Sl.J00-the Chalmers 20
We were the first 10 produce at n me
dium price a thoroughly reliable car with
all the features of the highest priced
cars.
We were the first regularly to equip
our cars with an efficient and simple
self-starter.
The Chalmers six" was the first high
powered. six-cylnder car offered by a
well-known company at a medium price.
That Chalmers cars have been good
cars from tho beginning is proved by the
satisfactory service they are giving 1000
owners in all parts of the world, by their
long list OF victories in leading road ana
track races, endurance contests. and hill
climbs.
The original models of Chalmers cars
built five and six years ago-are still in
constant service. We have at the ChaI-
mers factory the records of fifteen Chal-
ners cars which have been driven over
l.On0. 600 miles-and are still in daily use.
tSames will be furnished upon requestD
For 1913 We are adhering to our estab-
lished policy Of giving the utmost value

for the price. We have put in our new
models, at medium prices. the features
which characterize high-priced cars. and
many features not found on other cars
4 OF any price.
| Chalmers Quality Cars.
Chalmers cars have always been known
as quality cars. Big production has en-
abIed us to build such cars at lower
cost than could any one without our vol
ume We have never tried to secure big
volume, however. at the expense Of quail
ity or advanced features Yet each year
| the values offered in our cars have
brought a steady natural increase.
This past year. 1912. was the best year
We ever had, and We are very sure 1913
will be better still.
We believe our business will further
increase as people appreciate quality at
medium price instead of quality, at high
prices or more quantity at low prices.
We believe the more automobiles come
into use, the greater will be the convic-
ton that it doesn't pay to try to save
$500 to $500 on the original price. and buy
something merely because II is offered at
low price. Medium priced cars of
quality-not only ours. but other good.
medium-priced cars-offer the best value
for the money in the long run. and you
don't have to run them very long to
find it out.
Built in n Great Plant.
Chalmers cars are built and guaranteed
by a company of the soundest financial
standing. We have a plant covering
thirty acres of ground. and have $4,000
invested In our business. No automobile
manufacturer builds in his own plant
more OF the vital parts of his car than
We do. No motor car factory is more
completely equipped with new machin-
cry.
accuracy in our cars and greater value
for you. The saving We make by elimi-
mating parts-makers profits goes into
added quality.
Because of these truths, We believe a
Chalmers car is a good investment-that
no car offers a greater dollar-for-dO
value.
Our business success. our investment in
the Chalmers plant. back up our belief
that a Chalmers car will give you the
service you are entitled TO expect from
a good motor car.
Reliable aud Durable.
Victories in scores of the most Cruel
ing contests are proof OF Chalmers re-
liability. The records of Chalmers cars
in the hands OF owners (some Chalmers
cars have been driven 10000 to Is. 900
miles) prove their durability.
