Goodyear Army Of 81, 900
Natives Gather Rubber

"One of the most valuable assets of
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Com
pany is not listed in the financial
statement" says C. W. Seiberling, vice.
president.
This is the intense loyalty and en-
thusiasm of our whole organization.
Our own sales force is a real army of
500 men, who work in every State Of
the Union and are carrying the mes
sage of Goodyear to all parts of the
world besides. We cannot give too
much praise and appreciation to these
men, who have fought so tirelessly
and successfully to keep Goodyear's
place as the largest manufacturer and
seller of tires in the world.
We now use 10 per cent. of the
worlds production of crude rubber.
An expert has figured that the ef-
rubber districts of the world, are nee
essary for the gathering and prepara-
ton of Goodyear's requirements.
I'VE are now equipping half a mil
lion cars-our automobile tire output
alone will this year reach the 2,000,-
900 mark And, moreover, Goodyears
are gaining new users faster than ever
before. Our plans are complete for
another great step forward next year
Our new factories, with five acres of
floor space, will increase our pneu-
matte tire capacity to 10000 daily, en-
able us to give work to 1000 more
men, and give us still further oppor-
tunity to hold Goodyears in the top
place in tiredom."

Shipping cars to the value of $2,-
100000 during twenty-six working
days in August, the Chalmers Motor
Company has just completed one OF
the most prosperous months in its his e.
tory. At the close of business August

Woman Wins Race in
West With Saxon Roadster

When the Saxon Roadster. driven
by Miss Kathleen Dee, of Rock
Island, Ill, flashed across the line a
winner at the Rock Island races, Miss
Dee took her place as the first woman
driver to engage in an automobile
speed event within the past ten years.
The race in which Miss Dee cap
tured the honors was a two-mile
event, held at the Rock Island race
track. At the end of the race, Miss
Dee was leading by seventy-fve feet.
She entered a challenge to any car
on the grounds. at any distance from
two to five miles.
Before engaging in the challenge
race, Miss Dee drove half mile in
the fast time of AZ 2-5 seconds, in
spite of the fact that the turns in the
track are not banked and the track
itself is only slightly more than a half
mile. making driving somewhat peril

Hupp District Statesmen
Report Excellent Business

District statesmen OF the Hupp Motor
at their quarterly sales conference in
Detroit last week reported business
conditions very excellent throughout
the country. 1t was the general con-
sensus of opinion that the chief diff
Guilty in the motor car business at
the present time was the production of
cars. Even with the increase produc-
ton of practically all the larger auto
mobile companies, the supply has not
met the demand.
o. c. Hutchinson. Eastern sales
manager, reported the conditions in
New York and New England. and in
fact the East generally, were never
better. This condition applies not
only to the automobile business, but
to trade generally and merchants were
preparing for a very heavy Fall busi-
ness.
Ward Keller. representative for
Pennsylvania and New York, reported
along similar lines, and Mr.. Keller
stated that manufacturing conditions,
especially, were good in Pennsylvania.
w. II. Young, whose territory COM
prises Louisiana. Mississippi. Alaba-
ma, Georgia and Florida, stated that
the South is in better shape to-day
than it has been for many years. The
farmers and businessmen were espe-
cially pleased with the recent deposits
of federal reserve funds in the larger
cities. The southern farmers and
plantation men have been especially
careful during the last year according
to Mr.. Young and as q result are in
good shape financially.
For Texas, j. r. Overstreet, gave an
unusually favorable report and pre-
dicted the largest crops in the history
of Texas. Automobiles are selling
faster than they can be shipped.
The ranchers and farmers OF Wyo-
ming, Southern Montana and Color
ado, are just beginning to buy motor
cars. according to District Salesman c.
H. Wallerich. Most of the cars in this
territory have heretofore been sold
in the cities. but now farmers and
ranchmen who have had a prosper
Gus two years are now buyers. The
demand for horses created by the war
has also aided this section and Mr.
Wallerich reported that at least two
hundred head of horses were being
shipped daily from Billings to the
French government.
Canadian Sales Manager K. r. Spen-
Ger is very enthusiastic about condi.
tions in Canada despite the war, stat.
ing that the demand for motor car:
is greater in Canada to-day than evel
before. Mr.. Spencer predicted
bumper" crops in all sections of Can
ada. In the manufacturing districts
he stated that every factor was work,
ing full speed and were greatly aided
by orders for war materials.

National Twelve" Attracts
Many at Auto Show

That the twelve-cylinder car is at
tracing universal attention was evi-
denced at the Indianapolis Annual
Auto Show last week, when more than
thirty thousand show visitors in
spected the new National twelve
cylinder cars. National built the first
American siX-cylinder cars, therefore,
it is natural that they should be pion-
GERS with twelve cylinder cars.
Two distinct advantages are claimed
for the Twelve; more even flow of
power with consequent absence of
gear shifting and the elimination OF
vibration which has been so destruc-
tive to automobile motors. The Ma
tional Twelve" motor is built in two
blocks of six cylinders, each placed V
shaped. Cylinders are 2 &X4& and
develop full seventy horsepower with
out vibration. One of the distinct ad-
vantages claimed for the National
Twelve" over all other V type mo-
tors is that the valves are placed out
side of the V and not down in the mid
die. This makes them very accessible.
fully as much as on any four or six
climber motor.
National Highway" cars are built
in six and twelve-cylinder models.
With the innovation of the High
way" cars, 1t is noteworthy that Ma
tional can now be purchased for less
than $4,000. The Highway Six" sells
for $3.50 and the Highway Twelve
sells for $3.50. Many car owners
have wanted National cars, but all
former Nationals have been a little
too much for them financially. They
have wanted Nationals slightly lighter
but with all the stamina of the Ma
tionals OF racing fame. The High
way models have been built in re-
sponse to these requests.
That the name Highway" is ap-
propriate for the new Nationals is
evidenced by the many letters that
have been received at the factory in
quiring about the new National trans
continental" or "cross-country" cars.
This would indicate that the buying
public is now in a touring mood.

Constitutional Convention

The editorial expressions Of several
newspapers in New Orleans, more or less
closely identified with the powers that be,
indicate that there is planned a move for a
constitutional convention to be held in the
future. 1t can be assumed that these eX-
pressions are merely feeers to ascertain the
trend Of public sentiment in the matter
Theplan no doubt contemplates wide-open
convention and new constitution. A full
discussion Of the matter should be urged by
the Press. The first consideration should
be directed towards fair analysis of the
present constitution, and those who advocate
a change should be forced to set forth the
defects that require amendment. Louisiana
has been surfeited with efforts to change
the organic law. Before starting into an
other attempt it would be wise to consider
if we can expect any improvement; whether
the men to be called On to formulate new
law will be better qualified or more patriotic
than those who made the present constitu-
ton, and whether such a convention will be
free from political influences.
These questions are not easily answered
and until they are satisfactorily answered
the people CT the state will be skeptical as
to the move now on foot.

Wade Elan EmpracficabEe

Because OF what they assert are defects
in the Wade cotton poo! fund which they
claim make it Improbable, merchants and
business of Natchez have formed "a
cotton pool OF their own and will not parti-
cipate in the Wade loan.
The Natchez plan makes it possible Tor
any man with even less than 100 bales of
cotton to secure a loan. IL also provides
that he can sell without the thirty day no.
ice provided for in the Wade plan. Over
$780, coo has been secured TO lend on the
cotton crop in thia section at So per bale.
The men behind the Natchrz plan do
not critic the original Wade plan but as
sert that in being amended tie plan has
been made impractical to all and totally use-
less to the small farmer.
The foregoing telegram to the New
Orleans States from Natchez, under date of
January 7th verifes the Selief that we have
heretofore expressed in regard to the cotton
loan fund. Wehave entertained the opinion
that in the end this project would work to
The detriment Of the producers of cotton.
The difficulties suggested by the Natchez
people are Of small consequence as compared
to the bad effects that will ultimately follow
this cotton fund plan. The sequeal to the
whole matter will be that spectators will
use this fund to buy up large holdings of
cotton, having it in their possession they
will require additional margins and in the
end will acquire ownership Of the cotton
pledged. When they have acquired the cot
ton they will use the large amount on hand
to manipulate prices. We hope that our
predictions are wrong, but it is not often
the case that spectators will pass up such
DccGihilitics t. coin money.
