AUTOMOBILE Is
 BIG FACTOR IN NEW FARM LIFE
Isolation of Remote Com munities Decreases With Growing Popularity Of Light Car = Has Social Side

The inhabitants of a tiny oasis vil- lage in the great Sahara desert are no more cut off from actual communica- tion with the rest of the world than were thousands of farmers before the advent of the motor car.
 A few years ago a trip from the farm to the city meant many tedious hours in an uncomfortable buggy behind tired, bedraggled horse Today the farmer steps into his motor car and derives pleasure and relaxation from what was formerly an unpleasant ne cessity. To him, the motor car, which was once looked upon as a luxury. has become a necessity without which he would be seriously handicapped.
 The popularity of the motor car among farmers is being reflected in all parts of the country
 More than half of the thousands Hf the cars which are being built this season are being sold to people who live in remote districts. The automo- bile has done more than any one thing toward opening up the section of this
 
 cities. It has brought the farmer into easy communication with the town. the railroad. the telephone and everything else that makes for progress. The motor cak is the modern engine of industrial and social welfare. Even where the poorest roads prevail, it is blowing through mud and sand and deep ruts every day in the year. It is safe to Say that there is hardly farm in the United States that has not been i invaded by motor car at one time or another.
 1 Disregarding entirely the influence of the automobile on the commercial welfare of the farmer, it has become a social commodity of great influence Hundreds of thousands of people who
 heretofore wereconfined to their owr limited social area through lack ol transportation methods. are enabled to come into touch with others through
 the agency of the motor car.

SALE 0F PLEASURE CARS
 CONTINUES TO BE HEAVY

It is remarkable how little effect the European war has had on the sale of pleasure cars. For the six months end ing December 31. the sales by the
 Franklin Automobile company in Syra- cuse. New York, increased over 54 per cent. over the previous six months, and
 sales for the twelve months ending De-
 cember 31 increased 60 per cent. over
 the sales of the previous twelve
 months.
 Total sales in 1914 exceeded the sales of any twelve months in the company's history, and December. usually a slow month. was the largest month the company ever had. The Franklin fac l tory has been on full time continuously and beginning with January the output will be increased 30 per cent. over 1914 The Franklin company output is con | fined to one pleasurecar chassis, nc fined to one pleasure car chassis, nc 1 kind being built.

 Senator Lodge again gave warning that the buying of belligerent ships would precipitate grave international complications with Great Britain. France and Russia, and would start this nation on the highway of war"
 During the day it was the expecta- tion on both sides of the chamber that the contest would be carried through tonight and into Sunday But at D. m.. Senator Kern, leader of the administration forces. gave notice that the battle would be sus- pended until Monday and secured unanimous consent for the recess. At the same time there came the an nouncement from democratic confer ence rooms that the bill would be kept before the senate continuously next week. without adjournment or recess. until the measure was passed. thus resuming the endurance test after the truce of tonight. The length of Senator Shoots speech of last night recalled other

and every expert and critic at the ringside branded Jeffries as the biggest puSilistic joke of the age. The big fel- low heartbroken, but still full of amN- tiOn and confidence in his own prow- ess, returned to Los Angeles and for a time worked in the old boiler factory. A year later he returned east and Billy Delaney, with the assistance of Billy Brady, matched Jeffres against Bob F1tzSimmons for the heavyweight championship. The match was ridi- culed, laughed at, and in every way considered a joke, yet Jeffries won With a clean knockout in eleven rounds. For time the writers could not offer any explanation and readily gave cir culation to the story that Fitzsimmons was doped Subsequent happenings, however, refuted that story and Jef- fries was voted the greatest heavy weight that ever lived.
 Even after several years layOff. public opinion. which grew into an ab- solute demand, forced Jeffries back into the ring to uncrown Jack Johnson, WIO lldu TedCIleu tlle up IuuS Ol tHt ladder by defeating Tommy Burns. who became champion by virtue of Jeffries' retirement This same Tommy Burns won the title from Marvin Hart at Los Angeles with the betting 3H to 1 against him.
 Even with Jeffres' absence from the ring and five years added to his life, the sport public and critics made him an overwhelming favorite in the bet ting, and ring history tells what an utter mistake it proved to bring Jef- fries back into the game.
 So much for the heavyweight ranks which applies as well to every other class of pugilism, as, for instance, if you will recall the Pedlar Palmer Me Govern fight, the McGovern- Corbett , outcome, the Britt Nelson battle, COu- on-Williams, Dempsey -Fitzsimmons and many others too numerous tC mention.

The Kansas senator declared that he had probably been told this today by an eminent Amer ican who had just returned from those countries Senator Smith de- clared there was mo question but that the foreign policy of the admin istration is making us enemies"
 The senate galleries gradually filled with spectators, and as the evening wore on, many senators who had gone home for a brief rest returned to the chamber. Senator Smiths dis course covered a wide field. Once he said:

Only one full season has gone by since the Phiilies made their best showing of the past ten years, but the stars are about all gone, or going. First the Feds made a raid which took knabe, Doolan, Sea- ton, as well as some second string players. Then Luderus. who was rated as a great second baseman in 1913, sustained an injury from which he may never fully recover. Thepresent off sea3t n has shown the sale of Magee and Lobert and the most certain withdrawal of Dooin Chalmers, another from whom much was expected. was un- able to play last season.

One Fan Doesn't Think Much of Opinions of So- called Experts - Betting Angle Has Much to Do With It

Were 1 asked what l considered the biggest asset in favor of Jess Willards chances in his coming fight with Jack Johnsoh, said one who has followed every championship fight in the last thirty years. "I would unhesitatingly answer that the main thing in favor of Willard is the number of experts, and so-called expert authorities who are picking him for a sure loser.'
 That the betting angle as well as the expert opinions count for little can be easily figured out by taking look at ninetynine out of every one hundred championship fights in the last thirty years. Let us start with the Corbett- Sullivan fight. which took place in New Orleans in 1891. You could count on the fingers of one hand the num- Der of critics in the entire world who gave Corbett even an outside chance to win. The betting was five to one against him, and thousands of dollars of Sullivan money could not be covered even at that price.
 When Corbett was defeated by BAb F'itzsmmons, he ruled an overwhelm- ing favorite. and the world knows that his own father committed murder and suicide caused by insanity over going broke on the result of the Carson City fight.
 James J. Jeffries made his New York debut under the management of the late Billy Delaney. scheduled to defeat Bob Armstrong and Steve O'Donnel in ten rounds each. He took on Armstrong first, and his attempt to stop the rangy negro proved an utter failure. Jeffries claimed he broke his arm ard was laughed out of the ring The O'DOnnell end Of if was called of

 TEMPE BEARS

Especial to The Republican,


 TEMPE Jan. 3O.-With a goodly set of players on hand, backed by the same enthusiastic bunch of fans, Tempe is ready to organize it's baseball team for the 1915 season whenever the word is given. No attempt will be made this year to import set of professionals and strictly local material will be used. When the supply here runs low, it is disband. That is the idea the promo tors are working on nov. for baseball has never paid in the valley and seem ingly never will until expenses are cut Co the minimum and the teams begin to realize that they must get along with what material they have on hand.
 The 1915 Bears will have their stronghold in the battery, for Honest John Mutt will probably remain in Tempe, anyhow until late spring, and in addition to catching will likely pilot the club through as captain Felix Oviedo, for three years now the Bears one and only reliable pitcher is ready for duty with his arm in better shape than ever. Material for the infield and outfeld is quite plentiful and there is every reason to believe that Tempe can put out a team of local players that will well compete with any team in the val ley.
