Money and Era Of Prosperity
for United States.

THE bountiful crops and sound, staple
banking system have pulled American
business through trying situation,
caused by the breaking out of war in
Europe. and there is going to be a
great business boom in this country
this fall" is the prediction of w. 8.
Keller, manager of the Zell Motor Car
Company. "The United States is the
most favored nation in the world; we
are at peace and shall continue SO.
THE country is blessed with the
greatest crops in its history. Millions
and billions of wealth are now being
taken from the field. The country will
have more money to spend than ever
before, and that means that everybody
will have more money to spend than
ever before.
There will be more automobiles sold
in this country than ever before in the
same length of time because the whole
country is prosperous. We have felt
the buoyant effect of an era of pros
perity. The flrst-class automobile fac
tories and the flrst-class dealers are
far-sighted men, and in common with
others they see the dawn of a record
breaking year.
Public confidence has been restored
in the ability of American business to
weather any storm and to come out
with colors flying

by planting fruit trees instead OF

spring the highway will become a bower
of beauty. The shade from fruit trees
will be just as good as that from any

BY THE UNEMPLOYED
Auto Association Believes Congress
Should Utilize Men Out
Of Work.

Immediate action by Congress in pro-
viding employment on the highways
for those thrown out of work through
the industrial stagnation created by
the European imbroglio is urged by
the presidents of the Arizona and
Nevada state clubs Of the American
Automobile Association In an appeal
made to President John A. Wilson OF
the National Automobile Organization
who will take up the matter with the
United States office of public roads.
From Phoenix, President q. P. Con-
the head of the Arizona Automobile As
ISOLATION wired that the European
situation had placed a large number
Of miners on the unemployed list. and
further stated that the Arizona repre-
sentatives in Congress had been asked
to secure an appropriation of $4,000
to repair the Phoentx-Roosevelt Dam
Globe road, which Is one of the main
arteries of the Cactus state.
From Secretary G. S. Hoag OF the
Nevada Automobile Association came
an urgent communication, setting forth
that a measure appropriating sub
stantial sum of money for public roads.
to be distributed in the several states,
and furnishing needed employment to
thousands of idle men, ought now to
command concurrence of both branches
of Congress. Reference was made to
the fact that England had utilized Its
unemployed for extensive internal i'm
provements. OF course, the several
states would expend federal money on
whatever roads served their greatest
needs, and in Nevada Mr.. Hoag sug-
gests the Lincoln highway as the one
demanding first consideration.
In Houghton county, Mich, where
several copper mines have closed down.
and some 5000 men have been affected,
a bond issue for 100000 or more will
be used in road construction and repair
in an effort to keep the miners at
work
