TO LIVE MERCHANTS,

With the Christmas holidays ap-
preaching, our citizens will undoubt-
edly arise to the occasion and boost
the prosperity of this city by doing
their Christmas shopping at home.
Already the "home spirit" is be-
ginning to take deeper root with our
loyal citizens, who are beginning to
realize more clearly than ever be-
fore that if we are to be prosperous
community we must consider not only
the interests of self, but the inter-
ests of the community as a whole.
That can only be done by keeping
as much as possible of our money at
home and in circulation among our
home people.
But as matter of common fair
ness, it should be remembered that
the people have rights that must be
respected as we'll as the merchant.
Very few people have the time to
chase all over the city and paw all

der to decide what they want. Life
is too short, and the household and
business cares are entirely too press
ing to admit of the waste of so much
time.
It is but natural, therefore, that
if you have Christmas goods for sale
the people will expect you to tell
them about those goods in order that
they may start out on their shopping
tours with at least reasonable
knowledge of what they want, where
they can find it, and what it is going
to cost them.
There is but one way in which you
can put this information before the
buying public in an acceptable and
inexpensive manner, and that is
through the medium of we'll writ
ten and displayed advertisement in
this paper.
Indications are that buying will
be on a liberal scale this Christmas,
but the people will unquestionably
desire some advance information be-
fore they buy.
This paper invites you to meet the
people half way in an effort to make
this prosperous and merry Christ
mas for all. Use the advertising COL
umns of the paper literally, and let
the people understand that you can
view the subject from their stand
point as well as from: that of your
own.
Our people will not: be backward
in this responsibilities you set them
the example.
They will be looking for your ad-
vertisements, telling them you you
have that they want.
Forty-two shopping days before
Christmas.

MOTOR CAR OWNERS
PLAN ORGANIZATION
Many Applications for New Body
Received at Headquarters Of
New Club.

Following the announcement last
Saturday that a movement Is on foot
to form an automobile club in the Dis.
trict the American Automobile Associa-
tion has received large number OF
applications at it's office In the Riggs
building.
The benefits Of such club would be
many. For one thing. It would be
possible to follow the lead of the
Hoosier Motor Club OF indianapolis
which is promoting Sunday trips to be
known as History Hunts Through
Hoosierdom. These trips originated
with John G. Monihan. chairman of the
runs and tours committee and general
manager of the Marios Motor Company
The terminus of each run will be one
Of the many historic spots In which
Indiana abounds. The first tour IL
scheduled for April IS when the motor
lists will drive to Lafayette and visit the
Tippecanoe battlefield, the scene Of Q
battle between Tecumseh's braves and
the forces of Gen. william Henry Har-
rison In 1911.
Other battlefelds famous in Indiana's
frontier history will be visited during
the summer. The motorists also will
drive to Lincoln City. the burial place
of Nancy Hanks Lincoln. mother of the
great emancipator; to Vincennes. the
original site Of the government. and tc
Fountain City, where stands the ole
brick homestead which sheltered Elizs
fter she fed across the ice-choked Ohit
river with her child to escape the slav'
master. and the former residence Of tn,
Rev. Levi Coffin. president Of the imagi
nary underground railroad Of tn
slavery days.
It is believed that a local club coult
| follow the lead Of the Hoosiers; histor!
| spots abound everywhere, and what ou
| club tourists want is inoentive-som
goal to reach. and the history hunt will
| give the needed impetus.

TRUCK TIRE SALES
GROW AMAZINGLY
Local Dealers Awaken to Posi-.
biIities Of Business, De-
CIareS Manufacturer.

"Tire dealers everywhere are now
wide awake to the substantial possibili-
ties that lie in the handling of truck
tires" says G. w. Martin. manager Of
the truck tire department of the Good
year Tire & Rubber Company.
"The truck has arrived just as the
pleasure type automobile arrived a
few years ago. and the dealers every
where are cquipping to give truck ac-
cessores a distribution worthy of the
Industry
up to a year ago, truck tires were
regarded by the average dealer as q
necessary evil something that con-
cerned him only remotely. 1t was not
readily apparent to him that truck use
was becoming SO wide spread that solid
tires would soon become an important
and busy line for dealers.
within the year the whole situation
has changed We find 1t compa ratively
easy to close deals with dealers-and
the whole truck industry IL benefited
by the readiness with which tires can
now be obtained by users.
I'm small towns, in the past, truck
users have had to buy tires out of
town. This meant delays. BY buying
big tires at home the truck owner gets
service, eliminates costly delays, and
patronizes q home industry.
I'VE are greatly pleased with the
progress thus far, and predict that soon
truck tires will be sold as universally
by dealers as are pneumatics at the
pre- sent time.

later, leading the third by a full minute.
The race, which was virtually the first
ever attempted on Lake Superior, proved
such a popular form Of sport that it has
teen decided to give an ice racing pro-
gram once 4 month next winter
With the support of the Duluth busi-
ness men, the dealers of the city hope
to offer prizes large enough TO induce
many of the world-known drivers to en-
ter. In this way they expect to estab-
lish the city as center for winter

TIRES RUN 6,2OO
MILES UNINJURED
Remarkable Record Of Mileage
Demonstrated on Cadillac

among other things. continuous pulling

The fact that this car has been run

demonstrations of many seasons.
The tires show but little evidence OF
their long service, and II their appear.

good for several thousand miles over
and above the $500 miles of service
they have already contributed.
This showing is remarkable consider,
ing that this Cadillac Is a seven-pas.

most exclusively for demonstrating. AL.
most without exception. 1t has carried
seven passengers on the demonstrating
trips. and 1t has been driven into the
hills to show it's action on heavy
grades. Heavily loaded. 1t has also

CareleSSneSS Blamed
For Ignition Trouble

#. Il. Watts chief engineer of the
Hupp Motor Car Company, IL authority
Tor the statement that 30 per cent of the
battery and ignition trouble experienced
by motorists is due TO carclessness and
negligence on the part of owners.
Mr.. watts believes that owners have
not been properly educated on battery
maintenance. Much of this, he says, is
due chiefly to the fault of the owner
himself, because he mas given little or
no attention to battery instructions.
The trouble !s," said Mr.. Watts,
that owners do not pay enough atten-
ton to care and operation of batteries.
This IL due to the fact that battery edu-
cation has been sadly neglected by mo-
torists. Most people look upon the stor-
age battery as mystery box and be-
liere the less attention It is given the
better.
'"The Iupmotile service department
has had special Instructions printed for
the care and maintenance of batteries.
One caution that owners are given Is to
keep the battery fully charged A sec
ond caution Is against allowing the
