SHOW ME" SAYS BUYER 0F
 M010RCAR; DEALER DOES II

facturer decided that the only way the game-Was to study the situation and apply some mighty modern busi- ness methods.
 Service was established. The car guaranty followed. Then came ef- forts at standardization, which last are not yet complete by any means.
 This caused a minute scrutiny of the financial condition of the manu- tacturer, not only by the dealer but by the public. Did not the assur- ances of service and replacement de- pend on the financial health of the maker?
 And it is the working out of this problem successfully by part and not so successfully by many of the motor makers-that has led to the present excellence of the automobile. It is the demonstration of the result of that tarnation hard sum that has led auto makers and sellers to en- gage in Automobile Shows" which now happen at dozens of stated places. Why, we notice in an eX change that they are even holding an automobile show in Albuquerque, which is in the state of New Mexico.
 It is the want to know spirit in the consumer that is now elevating the automobile business, just as it has, or is. or will elevate every other sort of business.
 Phoenix and Arizona buyers want to know. We have it from a dozen successful Phoenix automobile men that the salesman must be able to grab a piece of neat mud or oil guard off a car and show the pros pect that the inwards are all ship shape. He must be able to show them that the car will do just what is claimed for it and that the com pany will back the car to win his bet that it will perform according to paper"

 it's history, the winner being George

 The fifth race was held as in pre-

Fourth Race-May 4, 1912. Tetz- laff, in a Fiat won the heavy car race, covering 3O3.012 miles in 3:50. 57, averaging 7S.6 miles an hour Ralph de Palma, in Mercer, won the medium car event, averaging 6954 for 1515 miles His time was 2:1O:4 43, being within five seconds of the worlds record.
 Fifth Race-August 9. 1913. Earl Cooper, in a Stutz, won the 445.253 mile race at an average of TAPS miles an hour covering the distance in 6:1:52.
 With such men as Barney Oldfield Teddy Tetzlaff and Earl Cooper, who will drive cars in the Vanderbilt cup and grand prize races over the Santa Monica course, authorities unite in predicting new worlds record in the Vanderbilt, this being the shorter race of the two.
 The present worlds record (78.72 miles per hour) was made by Tetz- laff in a 12O-horsepower Fiat over this same course. There will be any number ot cars Tn the race capable Of making better than one hundred miles an hour and as there are only three turns on the course the aver age speed should, be very high.
 History of Race.
 There will be a wide difference between the first Vanderbilt Cup race and the ninth. In that early day contest the winner made the hair-raising average of 51.6 miles per hour. Both of these automobile con- tests have histories that are eX- tremely interesting. The Vanderbilt Cup race is the oldest race of all, dating from 1904. The Grand Prize race dates from 1908.
 The Vanderbilt Cup takes it's name from it's donor. William K. Wander bilt, Jr, who is well known in the

 Them was the good old days of automobile selling. In the Golden Age" of salescraft-some of you mo- tor dealers will remember it-such heard In that day and age the maker thought he was building q good car, the dealer thought he was selling a good car and the public thought it was getting a hundred cents worth of automobile for the $. The maker built haphazardly, the seller assumed no obligations and the buyer paid the freight-heavy stuff, too, sometimes.
 This was the stage of experiment, when, as an English motor car en- gineer. recent visitor in Phoenix, said: Builders of motor cars had only picked up their tools.'
 In those days the bright minded jckesmith made capital of the mis- fortunes of the motorist. Motor car meant mud, madness and misery. Then the motor car misfortune jest went down to the country weekly in tie form of plate" and was trans mitted to the source of all our wealth. Then came the period of skepticism. The buyer became afraid Of the tarnal thing. He couldn't see anything in investing a thousand or two in a hunk of alleged machinery that might leave him on six sides of the road any time it happened to think of it. In those days the state cf Missouri spread until it had an area of a million square universes, and contained pretty nearly every body living.
 The seller, in trying to dispose of his wares, ran onto this snag: Guarantee me, give me service and be responsible, and l will buy your car"
 "WheW."
 That sentence. or sentences like it falling from the lips of thousands of hot prospects,, changed the entire course of motor car manufacture Then came the aristocracy of tht automobile, the petrol peerage, ther the apotheosis of advertising.

How to Prevent The Tobacco SplitWorm'

Transplant the toba eco crop as carl y
as possible io order to mature it before
the appearance Of the most destructive
generation OF the tobacco splitworm,
advises bulletin No. 50 of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. in making recon-
mendation for the control Of this worm.
When the early infectatiop is very Sc
we're. prime Off and destroy the infected
leaves: destroy al tobacco stubble as
soon rs the crop is harvested to pre-
vent the breeding of hibernating g
generation: clean up and destroy all
trash in AID around fields and tobacco
barns: Go no: follow potatoes by tobac
co if the infectation OF tobacco has been
more severe in such cases than where
different rotation was followed: grow
potatoes as far as possible from tobac-
co fields.
In Cuba and the United States the
splitwCrr? is Known on tobacco as q
leaf-miner only. Only the older tobac-
co leaves are affected unless the infes-
tation is very severe: and 10 these. the
lower leaves, graylsh, irregular blotch-
es are produced: which later turn
brown ard become fragile 50 that the
tobacco is unfit for wrappers. At
Clarksville, Tennessee, where the in
fec:ation IS very slight, the larva in
most cases begins work in the ''rutfies"
along the midrib and they afterward
migrate and form mines in various
parts Of the leaf.
