tor cars. The production of the company
will exceed 1900 for this year-or more
than four times that of any previous
year in the history of the company.
One of the special features of the Cole
line is the Cole-Springfield all season
cars. These models have fairly revolu-
tionized the construction of motor car
bodies and the Cole company Is the first
in the eight-cylinder field to offer them.
So enormous has been the increase in
the production of the Cole organization
that additions have had to be made to
the plant to take care of the enlarged
output. Likewise many new men have
been added to the organization and a
bigger field force has been secured.
Everything points to an even bigger
year after January l, and in direct line
with the expansion which will be nee
essary to handle the increase in business,
the company contemplates this invasion
of the south, regarding it as one of the
most profitable fields for it's product.
Visitors to the exhibit at the Edwards
company next week not only will have a
splendid opportunity to examine the Cole
Eight models on display there, but will
also have a chance to ride in the famous
Cole Eight touring car.
A great many dealers and owners are
expected to visit the display.

OLDDODGE CAR GOOD.
SECONDHAND VALUE.
Dodge Cars That Have Run
for Thousands of Miles
Sell for Big Prices

Much public discussion has been de-
voted to the subject of secondhand
Dodge Brothers cars and their selling
value. Only a few months ago, John
Cheek, brother of the Nashville, Tenn
dealer. sold his Dodge Brothers roadster
for $500. after having driven it more
than 5000 miles. Curtis j. Miller, Dodge
Brothers dealer in Nezperce, Idaho, now
comes with an even more striking Illus
tration of the great demand for this
type of car. The Nezperce Herald speaks
as follows of the incident:
ION Tuesday Curtis Miller sold Glenn
Carey a Dodge Brothers car. Glen and
Gail Carey, with Wilfred Waters and
George Fox departed at once in the
car for Wyoming, where they expect TO
take up homesteads The circumstances
leading up to this sale are rather out
of the ordinary. Mr.. Carey decided all
at once that he wanted a Dodge Brothers
car and no other. Curtis Miller, the
local dealer. had none in stock and could
not get one, so he pleaded with Prof.
L. c. McMahan to let Mr.. Carey buy his
car, with the understanding that it was
to be replaced with the first Dodge
Brothers car that Mr. Miller could OBJ
tain. The deal was made. Professor Nc
Mahan had run his car 219S miles, but it
was just as good as new and there was
no discount off the regular price-$Ss0.'
Mr. Miller adds, with a gentle touch
of irony, that This is the only way
1 can make anything-sell each car four
or five times Please rush shipments"

Going Back to Herbs
rom the Indianapolis News.


Those who are fortunate enough to
journey in the right direction and to the
right places will occasionally come across
a country cook in Indiana who has not
forgotten how to make use of favoring
herbs. Rarely, however, are these old
time aids to culinary art, appetite and
digestion, and rarer still is the mistress
of the kitchen who employees them. Time
was, of course, when no kitchen garden
was considered complete without its bed
of herbs. There, ready to the cook 8
hand. grew mint, sage, summer savory,
marjoram. dill. balm, and fennei. There
were others, but they were valued chiefly
for their medicinal properties.
In the east, especially in the New Eng
land states an effort is being made to
revive the old time herd garden. The
United States department of agriculture
approves the movement. But, as it sug-
gestsf there Is no reason why 1t should
be confined to the east. fifty years ago

NET PROFITS OVER
MILLION A WEEK

New York September o Especial }
For the first time in the history of the
Ford Motor company the figures showing
sales and profits have been made public.
For the year ended July 81, gross was
soc, S67, BAT, while net was S59994,11s on an
output of about $4,000 automobiles. All
these figures set new records by safe
margin, net being equivalent to approx
imately 5000 per cent on the stock.
While the capitalization has remained
stationary at S2,0o0,000 the company itself
has made remarkable strides. For in
stance cash is placed at s52, $50 772, COM
pared with Sc, 400, 1000 four years ago. A
gain in cash of about 100000 over the
previous year is shown.
Probably one of the most significant
increases on the asset side is in merchan-
disc and supplies which are inventoried
at $31, S95, 1872 or more than double $14 1856 =
768 shown in the previous years report
Such an increase in supplies and raw ma
terials is necessitated by the company's
plans for the present season which call
for a production of 10000 cars.
The company paid 60 per cent in divi-
dends last year, which left S5S, 800, 900 for
reinvestment in the business. Profit and
loss surplus as of June 30 was $11196O sos,
an increase of $52 S25, 1872 over the previous
year, and compared with 100000 capital
stock.
The price reduction announced at the
beginning of the present season, August
!, in the two big selling models will lop
off considerable of the profits per car,
but this reduction will be offset by the
60 per cent increase in output planned for
this year The roadster selling at $3.50
and the touring car at $40 were reduced
to sS45 and $3.50, respectively.

but one of.war as well In these days

and easily troops may be transported
from place to place the construction Of
roads becomes a vital factor in the
daily life of an army either defending or
advancing it's position
Down in Mexico during these many
months our own Uncle Sam has been
demonstrating his skill as an emergency
road builder In and around Columbus,
n. NJ, and for a considera BILE distance
across the border. he has worked wonders
with the roads over which supplies and
munitions must be carried to his grim,
determined boys in khaki.
Between advanced types of road build
ing machinery and the use of motor
trucks, the soldier workers have been
able to transform many miles of rough
rutty Texan and Mexican highway A
fleet of small scrapers and number OF
big side-conVeyor type of graders have
been kept busy ever since General Per-
shng's punitive expedition swept across
the international line in pursuit of the
Villista raiders of Columbus
For a time Uncle Sam tried to use
caterpillar tractors to tow the heavy
scrapers and graders, but after many
unsatisfactory experiments, he cast about
for some other means to drag the road
devices over the courses mapped out for
them. After number of tests the job
was turned over to the Jeffrey Quad
