Some hay say (and especially the
DemocratS) that it is impossible tor

in that district as did in the entire

the polls and vote. but after full vote
was once gotten ont. it was found that
the county was really Republican, and
the editor Of this paper fully believes
that such is the condition in the East

many stay-at-home voters who do not
care to exercise thr only free right
they possess-that OF their suffrage
and in this way are instrumental many
times in defeating candidates no are

! FEDERAL "RUGGEDS''
Improved Methods Lead to Cut in
Production Cost of Famous
NOn-Skid Castings

The Federal Rubber Manufacturing
company of Milwaukee, Wis, has an
nounced a reduction in the price of
their rugged tread castings.
The popularity of this non-skid tire
has grown so rapidly in the past two
years that former production methods
could not keep pace with the demand
The Federal company worked many
months in new production processes
which would increase the output and
at the same time continue to produce
tires of the high quality which has
given Federal tires their reputation for
extra service.
These new methods are now perfect
ed and in full operation. Automatic
machinery has displaced ordinary
equipment, mechanical devices have
supplanted hand labor and new pro-
eesses have been introduced.
These radical Improvements in man

led to material reductions in the cost
of production This saving has beer
turned to the advantage of the motor

Nezu Paige Six Is Latest
Entry In Auto World

new six-cylinder car is in the field,
the Paige Model Fairfield, otherwise
known as the Paige "six-46," manu-
featured by the Paige Detroit Motor
Car company. The announcement of
the advent of this new six is of spe-
cial interest to motordom as it has been
known for sometime that the Paige
company was working on the new car
and considerable expectation had been
aroused.
The interest in what the Paige would
do to meet the demand for skies was
due largely to the success the company
had met with its four, the model Glen
wood "36." After more than a year OF
planning, working and developing the
new Paige six has at last arrived and
it is the belief of its sponsors that it
will not only attract it's due share OF
attention but that it will more than
maintain the prestige won by the CON-
pany in the field of fours.
The model Fairfield, Paige "six- 46
is seven passenger car selling for
$685.. It's designers and builders have
not aimed to exploit any mechanical
innovations, but have sought to take
advantage of all that has previously
been learned in the manufacture OF
skies to secure the last word in proved
mechanics and construction and wiz
dominance in the field through the ex-
ceptional value offered.
In body design and general appear
ance the new six is of the European
full streamline type with one-mar
top that completes the impression OF
low hung raciness. One of the features
