 THE 1914 OUTPUT.
 In the automobile industry, which is one of the phenornena1ly great mod ern industries. there had to be a guid- ing hand. It is now known as the Automobile Chamber of Commel ee. This body was organized less than a, year ago, but it had worthy predeces- sors. The first of these, organized in 1903, the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers, gave the industry much of the great boost it needed that year.
 The A. l.. A. M. adopted a, standard horsepower rating which nearly all makers adopted. Then largely through the efforts of the association, wheel -diameterss were made in stand ard sizes1so as to assist the tire ma kersr.-.z< make otorfng easier for tn e car owner. Spark plug sizes, springs, shafts, axles, bodies. den1ountable rina, etc, became standardized, rnak- ing it poasi ble for repairs to be effect ed without the owner sending 8. thou sand miles to the factory in which his car was built in order to get new parts.
 Originally most ideas in automobile construction came from abroad. We began by. importing nearly everything. we now export more than 0,000,u0 worth of automobile goods annually and import less than s 2,000, 900 worth. During tare yesars1 91 4 the total out put in American cars vviM represent a valuation of something like $55O, ,000,- 900; the accessory industry will turn out goods valued at close to $95,0O0.- 0o0- The numbers of cars built and marketed the present season is esti- mated at 100000.
 SAYS ROYALTY IS RECKLESS. Germany is having almost as much trouble curbing the joy-riding and princes and princesses, as New York CTS have in making. some of the. mem bers of the police and fire depart ments ssbeFlave'' when out for an au- tonobile ride. The Berlin Morgen Post, which has always had a rep,1ta- tion of criticising the nobility calls general attention to the fact that the royal automobiles have caused five fatal accidents wifhin a short time. A l car in which 3, son of Prince Fried rich Leopold was riding, ran over and killed a girl in Potsdan. The Post asserts that the royal cars have be come "a perfect terror in the streets owing to their reckless pace,'' and de- nands that such machines shall in the future be subject to the rules govern ing ordinary traffic.

CT would look for safety of a garage for his car over the winter months just as soon the first snow com menced to fly. Now, however. it is the exception rather than the rule for a car to put in dead storage at any time of the year and thousands of mo- torists in this country take particular delight in touring over roads during the fall and winter months
 With the increased use of cars dur ing the winter there has developed g. tendency on the part of a number of owners to neglect the care of certain parts of their cars. One of the most frequent difficulties encountered by the winter .notorist is brought about by neglecting to take care of the lu-s brieatio3. and cooling systems of his car. It is not unusual to see the car diator entirely exposed to the cold winter blasts. If a. car is left in this state for any lengthy period it's driver is certain to have trouble in starring the motor and occasionally a too lengthy period of exposure -deyeleps serious and expensive damage
 The safest way to avoid trouble Of this nature is to use an anti-freezing mixture in the radiator. Perhaps the simplest and most effective pFeventa- tive of freezing is a two to one solu- tlon of alcohol and water By filling the radiator with such a mixture the
 motor will be safe from freezing on even the coldest days. A lighter grade of cylinder oil might be used to good effect during the winter An owner is apt to neglect to 1ubricate the small parts of his car during this time of the year instead of paving the same at tention insthis direction as he would in the summer ess-s- ! ss
 HEAVY: AUTO FEES.
 The automobile department of the secretary of statess office begins the new year with every prospect of
 breaking the past years record for registrations. It is confidently ex- peceed that at least S400,0O0 will be taken in the 1914 season, which is from October 1, 1913. to September 30. 1914. sssss As all llcenses expire December 3 1, the department has been kept ons the jump the past two weeks sending out the new numbers.
 The new. markers are green with white raised letters for pleasure cars. and commercial cars use plates on a reverse order of color.
 At the automobile department of the secretary of states office 1t was said that business the first three days of the new year is in excess of $140.- 900. Over 1 300 commercial vehicles Iihad been registered. It was said cars registered had not been determin- | ed.

A good and necessarily expensive compound is us ed if the latter is the end in view and a poor compound if the former is de sired Steel rollers grind the chem icals into the gum until the latter is thoroughly i1npregnated-

Meanwhile the fabric, the founda- ton of the tires. has been prepared. I The best Sea Island cotton, of which every inch has been inspected for flaws, and which can withstand a pulling test of three hundred pounds, is the standard.
 Before the actual work of building up a tire is begun, the fabric must be ''frictioned' ' or rubberized. Every Eaesh must be comDl etely and evenly filled or fabric-sep~ration is likely to occur when the finished tire begins it's work. Together with a sheet of rubber the fabric is sent through cal-s ender machines, the rubber being crushed into the cloth and practically becoming a. part of it. s
 INCREASE IN LAND VALUES.
 Newman Erb, president of the Min neapolis 6 St. Louis railroad says that $2,O00, 600 a state is his estimate of the increased. value of farm lands due d1- rectlys to the motor car. A few years ago. says Mir. Erb, according to Motor Print farm land which was located near the railroads was worth l about $75 an acre. where the land twenty miles back could hardly be sold for $10 an acre. With the intro ducion of the automobile. however, the land was brought within a. few minutes run of the raHroad. Its
 
 of this fact es The farmer who owns an automobile and lives twenty miles from a shipping point is to-day as close to the markets sof the world as is the man. whose land is within three or four miles of the zTai1Foad. The au- tomubi1e will make; the run to the shipping point iis less time than horses take to cover the shorter distance. Be- sides eliminating distance, as it has, the automobile his worked another tremendous influence for good in the agricultural district. The automobile is the forerunner of good roads It is universally acknowledged that inn proved highways mean increased pros perity for the farmer, and wherever automobiles are owned there will good roads be found as soon as they can be built.
 Many short t-sfghted people claim that the purchase of an automobile by a farmer is an extravaganza. maintain that it is one of the most fore-sighted economies he ever intro duced, and think the majority of the successful farmers of the United States will agree with me have been watching sales reports very close | ly during the past few months and find that the number of farmers buy l ing automobiles is increasing in great ratio. This sturdy has convinced me that the automobile is one of the greatest blessings that has ever come | to the farmer, and that he appreciated the motor car by using it.

In "a law sui, it very often be-
comes necessary, so as to avoid
delay in the trial of the case, that
matters be presented to the
Judge of the District in which the
action is pending, at the place of
his residence. This is especially
true under the present Code of
Procedure, and litigants and
their attorneys are required to
appear before the Judge at the
place where he resides. For the
last fourteen years the place of
residence of the Judge of this
District has beed In Dodge City,
and for twelve years prior to
that the Judge lived at Ashland.
The three candidates for nomina
ton for Judge of this District at
the coming primary are Jay T..
Bolts, of Coldwater; Carl Van

result of the combined effort of

Greensburg is the place that. will
give the greatest benefit to the
greatest number of people in the
District. Lawyers charge for
the time they are out of their Of
fees, and the time of the litigant
is of value to him. With the
Judge living in Greenshurg, the
expense of presenting matters
there would be much less than
if the Judge lived in Dodge City
or Coldwater. Should the Judge
be a resident of Coldwater, par
ties going from Cimarron, Dodge
CITY, or Meade and returning
could not possibly make the trip
under three days, if travelling by
rail. The cost of travelling by
automobile would be greater, but
the parties would save time pro-

such as often occur with an auto

land, Meade, and Coldwater to
Greensburg and transact such
business and return the same day
as matters that are presented in
Chambers do not usually take
much time. L. M. Day, of
Greensbury, is therefore the
