SHORTAGE OF CARS

Present Demand For Studebak-

l.. j. Ollier. sales manager OF the
Studebaker Corporation, says that,

baker cars around March T. Mr.. Oh

but several times within the last
three months, besides taking short
trips into Canada when occasion de-

Everywhere / 60, said Mr.. Ollier,
II hear stories of returning prosper

west the farmers are holding on 10

that cotton will reach unprecedented

men scattered all over the countryside.
Mr.. Ollier makes il a point to get

says he has yet TO receive a report
unfayorable 10 big sale of cars in
the spring.
1t is fact" said Mr. Miller, that
December, January and February
have been always considered as the
poorest months in the year in which
TO sell automobiles. Ana yet, all
through the winter our sales have
been gratifyingly large. In some in
stances ! thought the increased de-
mand for Studebaker cars was due to
the redoubled efforts on the part of
dealers and statesmen; in fact | was
sure it was, but when the demand Is
national in its scope and | receive
constant reports OF people walking in
TO a salesroom and buying cars for
future delivery ! am sure that the de-
mand is real one and is not being
forced
MY advice TO Dealers continued
Mr. Ollier, is To carefully canvas the
field and place their orders for cars
early. If they don't, someone is GO
ing shy in early spring, for we have
not been able TO accumulate a reserve
OF cars and the output of our big De.
troit plants is being shipped out day

The views OF Alexander Hamilton,
on the question OF states rights, were
quoted at length, Friday afternoon,
in Judge Hosmer's court. by Attorney
James RI. Pound, in defense of the
action OF the village council OF St.

Attorneys for the village quoted
Hamilton to show that "a federal

Judge Hosmer. after hearing the
arguments, said he would reserve his
decision.

Steam heat is a modern luxury with

approved methods Of heating which can
be turned Off for two weeks without
causing the meter to miss q stroke.
Some people manufacture their

by pressure and partly by providence
Whenever the pressure goes down be-

LeMars Sentinel
The Sheldon situation illustrates the
change which has come over not only
the business methods in town and city.
but those on the farm as well. Time
was when the farm produce was the
big end OF the grocery and general
merchandising business. The merchant
who did not handle butter and eggs
for his customers might as well have
shut up shop, for most of his business
was done on an exchange business.
The merchant who first advertised to
pay cash for butter and eggs was a
public benefactor in the estimation of
MS patrons and reckless plunger ac-
cording to the view of his competitors.
He knew, however the difference be-
tween IS cents in cash or 10 cents in
trade" and he was not averse to be-
coming a butter and egg shipper, II
the margin gave him sufficient profit.
1t required diplomacy. too. in those
good old days to run successful store
just as 1t does in these There were
good and bad butter makers then and
more OF them than there are now, but
the diplomatic merchant never
graded butter and he had but one
price. II Mrs. Jones, whose butter
was chiefly distinguished for its ath-
letic qualities. should have discovered
that Mrs. Smith had received a better
price for her first grade product. Mr.
Merchant would realize something OF
what Is meant by "the fury OF WON
an scorned." His town customers
however. knew the difference and the
crafty grocer evened matters to some
extent when 1t came to the selling
side.
Then the family cows and the
chicken coops were depended upon for
most of the living expenses on the
farm. 1t was a big part of the mer-
chants business. Now the big dairy
and commission houses have corraled
most OF the business. Creameries.
cream stations and milk routes have
taken the place of the home dairies
and the butter and eggs have become
a negligible part of the storekeeper's
interests, except insofar as he supplies
his customers wants with stock
bought from the commission men and
big dairies And most OF the business
is now cash transaction. with the
in erchant eager TO get the home prod
uct
At that most Of use would prefer the
good old country butter and we have
a suspicion that the cost OF living
might be reduced if there was more Of
1t In the market.

as state Industrial commissioner and
for the first time in half lifetime is
private citizen of Iowa He has been
a most useful man in office. He took
his work for his state and district as
seriously as he did his mercantile BUSH
ness at Coon Rapids and elsewhere. AS
senator he insisted upon merit in a
proposition. Lacking that he opposed
1t. Political grafters and those seek
ing private advantage never have liked
Garst. But the district that sent him
has been behind him solid as a stone
wall and the state appreciated the sin
the problems and purposes Of the hour.
Garst is highly honored over Iowa.
More than that, he Is trusted. In his
long period of public life no shadow
has fallen upon his public or private
character. Like Senator Smith of
Usage, he leaves public service at his
own time and with an unsullied rec
ord.
Garst has earned his rest; but the

/ to lend Its endorsement to the Cum
minis candidacy for president, and It
now seeks to satirize the Iowa en-
thusiast for Cumrnins, basing Its satire
upon an editorial paragraph from the
Story City Herald, paper Of local CIR
culation and most excellent repute in
this county OF Story. We see no oc-
casion for reproducing the whole dis
cussion.
Reviewing the matter from the
standpoint Of Story county and of the
Cummins interest, the real exception is
to be taken, not to what is said by the
Story City Herald but to the use which
is made of 1t by the New York Times.
As we will endeavor to show later on,
the Cummins people can well afford to
take the statement as It Is made; but
first 1t Is just as well to get at the
situation right In Story City. That has
for years been strongly Cummins
precinct, in which the editor Of the
Herald has all along been at directA
though good tempered, variance with
his constituency. It is also a strongly
republican precinct, and the party vote
has varied from time to time; but the
anti Cummins vote has been fairly
constant at little under forty votes,
the forty stand-patters being about as
typically stand-pat as any voters in
the state. In last years republican
primary for senator, Mr.. Cummins re-
ceived in that precinct 140 votes, while
Savage, who was the uncompromising
standpat candidate in opposition, re-
ceived quite normal support of 80
votes. In the general election follow
ing Senator Cumnlins received in that
precinct 166 votes, while Governor
Clarke received 100 and Lieutenant
Governor Harding received lat, the
democratic vote ranging from 20 to
81 Now the primary vote showed, as
the Herald now indicates, that there is
in Story City a very definite anti Cum
minis element: but the result of the
election shows that in spite Of such
embarrassment Senator Cummins re-
ceived united republican vote, and in
fact led his ticket in Story City.

MUTUAL HAIL INSURANCE.
Monticello EXPRESS

The Manchester Press in reefiing it

assessments levied upon Delaware
county policy holders amounting to
SGT per thousand Of insurance. Pass
ing by the expenses Of the company

simply wish to state that this expert
ence is not unusual in weak mutual
companies. The members themselves
constitute the company; they are
partners if you please. in a certain
sense, and should the company go to
the wall they will be liable for their
share of the debts. We have seen
many people caught in such trap,
but never for a second time, for there
after they let the mutuals alone, and
paid fixed sum for their insurance
in an old line company. The state
mutuals are organized for the purpose
of paying their organizers fat salaries.
