THE VALUE or NEWSPAPER READING

Several women were chattering a few
days ago about the habit OF reading the
newspapers. One frankly said, 81 only
read the poetry and the society columns
Another, II read every advertisement. I
think it's just lots of fun" Another says,
II am particularly interested in all Amer
lean girls who are duke hunting and
the announcement of their engagements.
And then came the politicians wife,
who watches the political stories only.
Another remarked, II read every line of
the daily papers, except the one that
comes to me Monday morning The wash
erwoman keeps me busy. and then. too,
there is no news Monday
A very conservative one among the
number suggested the usual sermons
printed each Monday. reproduced for
those who are deprived of the opportuni-
ty of hearing one delivered the day be-
fore. These sermons, eminating from
religious teachers from every church de-
nomination in turn, are valuable mes
sages to every home in the city There is
not a single one that does not leave a
better spirit for the following weeks du-
ties,' she said.
As a Necessity
Right then the little gathering became
more serious-reading the papers was dis
cussed as a necessity to intelligent living
Not only are we benefited by the mes
sages delivered through the sermons, but
an up to date newspaper is a daily direc-
tory, and the person who simply picks
it up and scans the pages for sensational
news misses much valuable material that
would benefit everyday life, and remedy
many of the causes for our disappoint-
ments.
One often meets friends in the city cas-
ually on their way to the train they
would have been so glad to have known
of their arrival and address. If they
read the paper the information is often
to be found, and it is apropos here to say
1t would be a great courtesy to the So
cial editor if guests or hosts were to drop
card, If only to say, Mrs. j. T. Jones of
Browns is the guest of Mrs. r. A. Smith,
giving house address, This Information
would give often a mutual pleasure to
many who visit the city and feel as If
they are strangers, when really they are
amid numberless friends.
Absorbed in Recreations
There is SO much danger of becoming
too absorbed in our daily recreations that
we often overlook the real means of maxi
ing our social life more helpful to others.
We are at great disadvantage If the
current events have been overlooked, and
we are not prepared to enter into the
trivial happenings that go toward making
up the informal chats that are so fire.
quent. Reading the newspapers puts us
in touch with the outside world, as well
as home, to say nothing of the lessons
we learn from what our neighbors are
doing. There is a great probability we
have missed many of our chances in life
through indifference to happenings around
us.

nN HE 1914 Overland Specifications
have been announced locally by
: Walter Melville Drennen of
Drennen company, agents for that car.
The announcement of the Overland
company appeared lately and it is
stated that an exhaustive campaign
of publicity will be started to properly
introduce the 1914 lines to the elscrimi-
mating buyers of this and other cities.
Mr.. Drennen. who elaborately sets out
the new makeup of the Overlands, had
this to say yesterday:
specifications of the new models of
the Overland car. just announced by the
Willys-overland company. Toledo, O.,
reveal line applying three body de-
signs to the same chassis construction.
In keeping with the policy of the Over
land company, not to announce new
models to the public until prospective
buyers view the new product in the
showrooms of the dealers. this an
nouncement, through the first public
description of the 1914 Overland line,
finds Overland dealers in the possession
of sample cars and ready to do busi-
ness.
THE 1914 Overland cars are not
radically different from those of the
season just past, although they show
differences in a number of points, most
of the changes being in the matter of
dimensions and added equipment rather
than in other respects.
"A brief review of the details shows
that the motor is very similar in con-
struction to that of model SO, of which
10000 were built during the 1912-13
season.
"The motor is somewhat larger, AK

the adoption of a constant level splash

forged claws. The operation of the
push rods is made almost noiseless by
the use of bronze caps fitted over the
push rod tops.
I'm order to compensae for the lower
volatility of present day gasoline, the
intake manifold has been redesigned
and given smaller diameter. The
universal joint is larger than last year

called that the Haynes was the first Of
the big automobile manufacturers to
adopt this device as standard equip

sequent1y been leaving no stcne un-
turned in their tests and experiments.
Mutt reports that in tests covering
los days of actual trials, the electric
gear shift equipment on a Haynes Six
proved 100 per cent efficient in every
test. Tests covered hill climbing
muddy, rough and all kinds of bad
roads, fording streams, and in fact
every sort of travelling to which car
could possibly be subjected. Conditions
of weather and climate varied from
coolest winter to hottest July and from
snow to rain. In no instance did the
electric gear shift fail to operate prop
erly nor did it require any attention.
These tests, conducted under the
worst conditions we were able to find,''
effectively demonstrate the absolute
reliability and practicability under
every circumstance. of the electric gear

According to General Manager w. G..
Leland, of the Cadillac Motor Car COM

ployes started with the closing of the
plant Saturday. August 16.
This has always been an annual
event with u.s." said Mr.. Leland, "and as
the plant runs steadily liz months
out of the year, the event is welcomed
by the men. 1t is also made neces-
sary in order to take inventory, to
overhaul machinery, to install new and
to make other preparations for in
creased output.
In past years it has been customary
to have the vacation period between
the completion of the old model and
the starting of the new This year.
however, we We're prevailed upon by
our dealers to delay the vacation until
after the 1914 cars were under way
in order that they could have samples
and demonstrators and get an early

Mighty Good Habit
Newspaper reading is mighty good
habit. There is nothing to it that's droll,
if one reads for information. We have
the stories of life. The pictures may be
dark and tragic, or bright and beautiful,
as the case may be, but they are gen.
orally faets-told to entertain and give
information to the public. These oppor-
tunities to know things are great factors
in the revolution of time, and one does
not realize the real value of the daily
items until they are off the main line and
only sees the papers at intervals.
We have the opportunity of seeing the
stories and current events in many papers
over this state and others. The news
may be bit old to us, but it is interest
ing to read them over and see the meth
ods different writer's have in handling the
same facts-construing them to their own
language. Just so it is that it is neces-
sary to read the news accurately, lest in
repeating. it we do injustice to the SUBJ
ject or the writer
Everything Has It's Influence
Every story is full of logic-no matter
how sorry" the paper, nothing ever hap
pens that does not have its influence
somewhere. One may never know 1t, but
the impression is made. 1t affects the
reader as it is construed. The adver-
tisements appeal to u.s. they feature the
price and outline the quality; we have a
lesson before us in them; the response in
person may not find our own require
ments, but they meet the needs Of some
one; there is a benefit somewhere, even
if only the advertiser is pleased.
We watch the market prices; the quo
tations are our guide to economical buy
ing; there is no need TO pay 40 cents for
our butter when our neighbor sells 1t for
35 cents.
The social columns feature the spending
of spare moments in pleasure, recreation,
announce the engagements and tell of
wedding bells. We are all interested In
our neighbors and what they are doing,
and these columns chronicle things very
worth while to us all.

FORD PRICES
REDUCED.

The price on Ford cars for 1914 have
been reduced. The car has proven very
popular, even at the former prices,
but 1t is believed the reduction an
nounced will go far in making the Ford
even more popular. e. w. Brownell
local agent for the car. made this state
ment yesterday in reference to the new
prices:
when the Ford Motor company re-
duced the prices of its cars August l,
the percentage of the cut was larger
than that of any ever made by any
automobile company, 1t is said:
THE new prices announced, runabout
$500. touring car $3.50 and town car
$3.50, in the United States, and rum
about $500, touring car $3.50 town car
$500 in the Dominion of Canada, have
set the automobile world agog
''These reductions are made in the
pursuance of the fixed policy Of Henry
Ford, adopted 10 years ago when he
established his great industry at High
land park, to sell his motor cars at
the lowest figure which his production
would permit, consistent with his ideals
as to quality.

Another big and exclusive economy.
No-Rim-Cut tires are fnal-vulcanized on
air-bags, shaped like inner tubes. All other
tires are vulcanized on iron cores alone
We cure the tires on elastic air, because
they are used on air. Thus the rubber and
fabric adjust themselves to actual road con-
ditions. Every part of the fabric bears its
share of the strain.
Curing involves tremendous compression.
When this is done on an iron core, the fabric
often buckles, This wrink1ed fabric escapes
its share of the strain, and that leads to count
less blow-outs.
We add to our cost 81 500 daily to save
those blow-outs by this "On-Air Cure"
