tain a fixed price. to all his patrons so that all may be treated with euualty and exact fairness.
 We have come to know that mere big ness is no crime. We have come to know that staple prices. even though made by so-called trusts, are a vast ben eft compared to the feverish variations and uncertainties of the cut-throat con- petition days
 The absolute necessity for fair com petition or price maintenance is part of the reason why cooperation in business should not only be permitted but en- couraged, wheter two companies con solidate or whether two companies CO., operate to prevent ruthless price cutting and destructive competition.
 The attitude of the government. ac- cording to pending litigation is htat the control of retail prices by the manufac- turer must cease if his goods are soid through the natural channels of trade. the wholesalers and retailers and not through his own established agencies.
 My friend. Mir Henry Ford, occupies the center-stage limelght position today Why? Because he is at the head of an enormously successful manufacturing in dustry which he has built up by his gen. jus and the aid of those he has associa- ted with him-his co-operators. Henry Ford owns 51 per cent of the stock of what is | believe, the most successful industrial corporation in America. It's capital stock is $2,00000O. Last year it believe it paid S10, 100000 in dividends and added as much again and more to its surplus. It's business at present Is in creasing by leaps and bounds.
 Has Henry Ford done no wrong In upbuilding such an industry? Is it wrong fo him to run his business so as to make such a large amount of money? Ought he. in he enlightened present day, sell his product as to yield him a return of six per cent or seven per cent? Is it crime to make money-to construct an industry? Is it wrong to put out an article that the public wants to such m extent that it is willing and anxious to pay for it such prices the manufactu- Ter may fix, which in a few short years makes that company one of the greatest collectors of wealth in America?
 His company has large means and establishes branches for assembling at many central distributing points all over the cauntry. even the world over, also used for wholesalng or distributing to his retail agents to be resold to users at

First Automobile Made

There is no question but that the first
 automobile was built in 1874 by William Murdock. Scotchman. ', friend asso- ciate and assistant of Watts" said Pres ident Bradley Saunders of the Saunders Motor company, the Alabama agents of the Hudson Motor Car company, yes terday.
 "Murdock invented many features of the steam engine. He built the first
 oscillating engine and produced a high pressure engine for use as a tractor.
 This was the first known type of auto mobile and it was in 17Si that he pro- duced\ this model. He discovered and found mechansms to utilize high pres sure air and the vacuum the rudiments of the airbrake and the pneumatic gun
 may be found in his list of inventions. He is better known to history, however, as the inveni or of the process to utilize coal gas as an illuminant and fuel. This Edison of the sixteenth century lived to be So years old and 69 years of that time was devoted to the betterment of mankind during which time he invented
 means to distil coal gas and means to store pipe and burn 1t under pressure"

were no other changes.
The petition calling upon DR.. Shaw

AguaS CaIienteS Conference
Will Meet on Nov. 20 to Re-
consider Election of Cutter
rez as Provisional President.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 14-Prospects
of effecting a solution of the constita-
tionalists' factiOnal disputes without
warfare were declared TO be favorable
today, as the result of an announce
ment by Gen. Lucio Blanco, that the
supporters of Gen. Carranza and Gen.
Villa had agreed upon an armistice
until Nov. 20. Until that date, he
said, the Aguas Calientes convention
will convene again to reconsider the
election of Gen. EulaliO Gutierrez as
provisional president.
Enthusiasm is rife here today as a
result of dispatches from Washington
stating that the American troops will
be withdrawn from Vera Cruz on Nov.
%. Arrangements for a great celebra-
tiOn and parade are being made.
Following Gen. BlancO's announce
ment of an armistice of six days it was
also stated that Gen. Pablo Gonzalez,
commander of the CarranZaista troops
at QueretarO. was on his way here for
a conference with Gems. Blanco, Villa
real, Hay and ObregOn, after which he
will 90 to Cordoba to see Gen. Car
rama. The Carranzaista generals eX-
pressed belief today that the nego-
tiatiOns now under way would result
in peace.
Friends of Gen. villa. however. were
not so optimistic. They asserted that
any plan for the elimination of the
warrior who had won SO many vic
tories for the cOnstitutionalist cause
would not be accepted by his support
erS.
1t is known that Gen. Gutierrez has
suggested to Gen. Gonzalez new
scheme of compromise, but the nature
of this will not be revealed until Gen.
Carranza has received IT, All but
