Harris Reports Good
Business, Outlook

r. A. Harris, commercial manager
of the Hupp Motor Car company, has
just returned from an extensive tour
of the mid-western States, and he is
very optimistic on the business out
look.
AS Mr.. Harris stated, things for the
coming year are in excellent shsss~,
and with the very large crops which
abound throughout the middle west,
there is no doubt but what we are
going to go through a big season of
prosperity.
ITO escape a big season for 1915"
said Mr.. Harris, with such crop re-
ports as the government experts have
given us, will be very difficult.
1.-The enthusiastic statements we
have read lately on the conditions of
the middle west are not exaggerated
a bit, for l had my eyes opened on
this recent trip. Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa and the Dakotas are certainly
in for a record year, and the farmers
are already busy with the bumper
harvest of winter wheat, which is es-
timated to be even greater than the
largest record crop ever reported.
lone of the best informed south
western business men, said this week
that the big crops meant between
$225, 100000 and $S00,000,000 of

"The most important features of the

comprehensively by having sections
cut away from the various parts. so
that the visitors to the institute are
enabled to see the mechanical con-

"On the right side of the engine,
the intake and exhaust manifolds are

the gasoline is mixed with the air

Six-year-old Cadillac
to Make Another Tour

A. S. Owens, of Birmingham, Ala,
will soon start on a long cross -coun-
try motor tour which will take him
eventually to San Francisco. The in
teresting feature of this undertaking
is the fact that Mr.. Owens will drive
a car that is now in it's sixth year of
service and already has 800, 900 miles
to its credit. Mr.. Owens automobile
is one of the first Cadillac fours to be
brought to Birmingham.
A cross-country trip, similar to the
one now planned, was made by Mr.
Owens in this car nearly five years ago.
eaving Birmingham, he travelled to
Detroit, then proceeded to Yellow
stone Park and California, visiting
Los Angeles and other western points.
From there he returned to Brming-
ham. The remarkable feature of this
trip was that the actual distance COW
cred was 1890 miles and the total
cost of repairs and other automobile
expenses, outside of the consumption
of fuel, was but $4.90.

CHANDLER DOUBLES
SALES OVER NIGHT
Scores of Dealers Visit Cleveland
Plant to Secure Sales
Rights

Visitors to the Cleveland plant of
the Chandler Motor Car company dur
ing the past ten days have witnessed
the unusual sight of top speed" pro-
duction during the so-called dull sea-
son. Motor car makers generally pre-
pare for the slack months of June
and July by laying off surplus help,
but the Chandler company has been
compelled to greatly increase it's
manufacturing force to keep pace with
sales.
''The announcement of a reduction
in price in the 1915 Chandler Six
made in a big chain of daily newspa-
pers two weeks ago, has brought re-
suits that have fairly showed us un-
der" said c. A. Emise, vice-president
and sales manager of the Chandler
company. I'm common with other
makers we expected to pass through
the usual slowing up in manufactur-
ing activities about this time of year,
but the dull summer period has been
entirely eliminated for us by the re-
suits of our 1915 announcement.
THE fact that we are in a posi-
ton to make immediate deliveries of
Chandler Skies at the new price of
$l,695, has of course counted mate
rally with the various dealers
Practically every Chandler dealer
has doubled his orders for 1915, and
in several cases we have had to tone
down the enthusiasm of distributors
who wanted to take three or four
| times their last seasons allotment"
Unusual activity on the part of
dealers all over the country followed
the announcement of the $1,595
Chandler. The Cleveland distributor
closed up six sub dealers in a single
day. In Philadelphia w. p. Herbert,
the local dealer, Immediately moved
into larger headquarters to take care
of increased business. The new Quaker
City home of the Chandler will be in
the fine salesrooms at the corner of
Broad and Race streets. In proper
ton, the dealers in the small towns
are even more active. The Shreveport
Louisiana, dealer, located in sup
posedly poor territory has sent in re-
peat orders for fifteen cars after
breaking all records for siX-cylindeI
sales in his territory. Similar condi-
tions prevail in other sections of the
country and it is expected that greatly
increased dealer representation will
also result from the announcement
Not the least encouraging results OF
the first years existence of the Chan
dler Motor Car company is the strone
position it has taken in the trade. One
of the biggest accessory men in the
country recently made the statement
that the Chandler company was the
only concern that had ever made good
on its first seasons promised produc-
ton.

WORLD WILL PLANT
ITS GREATEST CROP
U. S. Expert Says War to Demand
Biggest Crop of Wheat Ever
Produced.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The greatest
wheat area in the worlds history will
be planted for the 1915 harvest as a
result of the European war, in the
opinion of Charles NJ. Daugherty.
statistical expert of the department of
agriculture.
As a result Of the war in Europe
worldwide tendency exists to in
crease the acreage of wheat Doubt
less the most extensive area ia the
history of the world will be seeded
during the present autumn and com
ing spring.
a prospective heavy demand for
this important food grain by the i'm
porting countries of western Europe
is likely, If seeding conditions favor,
to give extraordinary stimulus to
sowing Of both winter and spring va
rieties in the two great exporting
countries OF North America, and to
those sowings now being finished
under suspicious circumstances in
British India.
in the southern hemisphere seed
ing was completed before the war
began, and the effect Of present eco
nomic conditions upon extension Of
areas there will be manifested only in
the spring and summer of 1915.
In Europe, where ordinarily over
one-half of the worlds wheat is pro-
duced, the indications are that all
lob To- nov ir
trail and contending nations, will be
utilized. In Italy 100000 acres, it is
said, will be added to the crop.

SOUTHERN NATIONS
ASK AID Of j. s.
Latin Countries Start Movement
to Bar WarshipS.
WANT TO SAFEGUARD TRADE
Restoration Of Commerce Between
Republics Is sought-Paralyzed by
the European War-Cruiser
Guards Peru Coast.

Washington, Nov. 28.-The United
States government has been asked by
the principal nations of South America
to cooperate with them in negotia-
lions with the belligerent powers OF
Europe to bring about the exclusion
Of all belligerent warships from the
waters Of the two Americas and safe
guard the trade Of pan-Americaa
countries with each other.
Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uruguay
have laid their suggestions before the
Washington government, while the
Brazilian government IS considering
the advisability of taking a similar
step. Practically all the Central and
South American countries have been
circularized by some of the principal
nations, resulting in series Of dlplo-
matte conferences in Washington and
the capitals of South America which
are now in progress.
While the proposals are different IN
character and scope, they all seek the
same end-the restoration Of the trade
between North and South America
paralyzed by the European war. The
movement also has for its object the
removal Of possible causes of serious
friction between the countries of this
hemisphere and the European bellig,
erents on questions of neutrality.
Already Chile, Ecuador and Colon,
bia have had serious difficulties with
the belligerents over the use Of the
wireless and the coaling Of foreign
warships, whose presence in the At
Iantic and Pacific is growing obnox-
ious to South American countries.
None of the nations which have
made suggestions is committed to any
particular plan, but all seek the Co
operation of the United States. The
impetus that will make any plan eff
fective, it is recognized by the diplo-
mats of South America, rests with
President Wilson.

New York, Nov. 26.-Russia's losses
up to November 4, as computed by the
Wiener Rundschau, totaled 1,15O,OOO in
dead, wounded, victims of disease, de-
serters and prisoners. OF these 100000
were attributed to the battles against
the Austro-Hungarian forces and 340,-
600 to battles against the Germans.
The losses ascribed to disease are
put at $4,000. The heavy estimate of
the sick is based on the prevalence of
cholera.
