SERVICE and selling owe
MOST TO MOTOR CONCERNS
Salesman and Steering Wheel Says Mr..
Morton Are Becoming Boon Com
panions-Companies Requiring the
Agents to Drive Own Cars

The twin arts of selling and of COM
mercial service owe more to the motor
ear than to any other modern develop
ment, according to Mr.. Morton, of the
keystone Motor Car Company, the To-
cal Chalmers dealers and himself a
prominent exponent of the two arts.
"The salesman and the steering
wheel'' asserts Mr.. Morton are becom-
ing boon companions. The wise sales
man, wherever the character of his ter
ritory will permit, has motorized his
Job. Speed is his chief aide de-camp.
In his race with his competitors, he
finds high class, reliable, high power
motor car an imperative need.
"There are more and more concerns
every year which refuse to employ
city statesmen who do not drive their
own ears. Others buy and assign ears
to their statesmen for their use.
"Alert concerns no longer tolerate
the type of salesman content to trudge
from place to place or to rely upon
street car transportation The tele-
phone has made the street-cars entire
ly too slow for the requirements of the
sales and service representatives of
modern business organizations of all
kinds. These demand feet emissaries,
who can jump from point to point in
their respective cities in instant re-
sponse to telephone summons contin-
ued the Chalmers dealer.
1 am constantly receiving letters
from statesmen who have found the key
to totally new quality of service to
their customers in the possession and
use of a motor car. 1t has enabled
them to set new and wholly unpre-
cedented service pace
Enterprising business houses no long
er hesitate to pay salesmen who drive
their own ears for the use of the lat
ter on fair basis for both up-keep
and depreciation. In fact, many sales
men are required to drive car-in
most cases the concern assists in its
purchase or else finances the whole
thing.
A successful salesman conserves his
time and energy in every way possible.
The motor ear is probably doing as
much as anything else to help him ac
complish his purpose and thus make
more money.-Adv.

that with the constant vibration that
tire is subjected to, the thread will
separate from this one break strip and
become loose and sand and grit will
work under it and the thread will split
and peel off before. the tire is half
worn out.
''To overcome this with the canvas
tread tire, we have placed breaker
strips all the way through the tread
with a little rubber between each
breaker strip, and each breaker strip
is impregnated with rubber itself, and
by doing this it firmly holds the tread
to the air carcass. 1t takes 1900 miles
service to wear off one layer of rubber
and breaker strip, which makes our
tire good for 10000 miles service"

Why the canvas tread tire, so claims

JAPAN Is FREE TO
RETAIN KIAO CHOW
,apS. Says Professor, Wins Kiao Chow
BY Blood and Money of
War Times.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Dr. Toyold-
chi Iyenaga, former professor Of po-
litical science at the University Of
Chicago and Columbia university, said
today in an address before the Japan
ese society here that the retention Of
Kioa Chow by Japan would not be a
violation of China's integrity, mas
much as Kiao Chow had been leased
to Germany for 80 years and was
therefore not a part OF China.
Before Japan landed her troops at
LungkOw," he said, "the Germans in
Kiao Chow had been taking military
measures in the Shantung province,
far beyond the zone within which
China asked Germany and Japan TO
limit their operations. It would then
have been suicidal for Japan to con-
fine her military actions within the
so-called war zone.
Some impute to Japan the violation
Of the principle of China's territorial
integrity, should she retain Kiao Chow
after the war. | cannot agree with
such a construction.
"Of course we cannot foretell what
final agreement will be made between
China and Japan about Kiao Chow.
This much, however, Is certain. II the
allies finally win, Japan will have
proper claims to make for the blood
and treasure expended from the cap
ture of KiaO Chow and In running the
great risk Of having for our foe a
power so formidable as Germany"
Dr. lyenaga added that Japan would
not send troops TO Europe unless Eng
land should appeal for assistance.

State Court Holds that they

LINE COMPETITION
WITH STANDARD OIL
Only Produces Five Per
Cent of Oil i'll State;
West Brought Suit.

A DA, Okla, Jan. 23.-The Texas
N Company is not operating in the
oil and gas field of oklahoma as a
trust I'm violation of the state laws,
according to a decision handed down
today by District Judge Tom ID. Nc
Keown in the suit brought by former
Attorney General Charles West and
former Governor c. N. Haskell to oust
the company from the state and to
collect $4,000,00 in panalties.
Judge McKeown found that The
Texas Company is an Independent pipe
line and refining company In Compe'
titiou with the Standard group and
that the twenty-five producing com
panies, which the state alleged are
subsidiaries of The Texas Company
are not in the pipe line business to
any degree. 1t was held that the trust
laws of the state did not prohibit one
company from holding stock in an
other company unless the two com
panies be competitors and that the
producing and pipe line businesses are
totally different.
The court found that The Texas
Company produced only per cent of
the oil in Oklahoma and held this
made it impossible to be regarded as
a monopoly.
Judgment for The Texas Company
is given outright on the first five counts
but on the sixth Judge McKeown made
an interlocutory order directing the
company to file schedule of the lands

days.

NJ. [. State Conference
Meets In ROseburg

Portland, April 27.---The next session
of the Oregon conference Of the Meth
odist church will be held at Roseburg,
After months of consideration of the
numerous invitations that have been
made the board Of district superintend-
ents of the conference, consisting of
four members, has awarded the big
meeting to the church headed by Rev,
w. r. Jeffrey, Jr.
No invitations to the conference were
made when the sessions were held at
Centenary church, and until early this
spring it was thought that the confer
cncc would be in Portland again next
fall
Then in quick succession came invita-
tions from Cottage Grove, Ashland,
and Roseburg, and the superintendents
finally decided upon the latter city.
Bishop Richard j, Cooke is now in
Des Moines, Iowa, attending the annual
meeting of the college of bishops. The
re.assignment of bishops is made at this
meeting, and there is possibility that
Bishop Cooke may be changed. Three
Methodist bishops have died since the
last meeting, and men already in the
college will succeed them and other
bishops will be created
