MIR. JOHNSON SAYS

Ut is about time for the people of this community to hand over their part of the million dollars which, it Is estimated, travelling subscription swindlers collect from various parts of the country every year. These swindlers swarm through the South west during the fall and winter months, robbing people right and left by promising all kinds of magazines and periodicals which never show up.
 Most of them are supplied with ere dentials; some of the credentials are all right, but 1 would refer any stranger who wants to collect my money to the sheriff or the nearest deputy or constable. I'd tell him ts let this officer examine his credentials and give him a written note to the effect that he believes they are all right
 Incidentally, I would also call up the officer to whom I referred him so
  quires quick work to catch these sub scription swindlers and I know off, lcers in these parts will appreciate be- ing notified. They are certainly en- titled to much credit whenever they land a travelling subscription swindler behind the bars.
 Almost every reliable publisher has one or more agents living and spend ing their money in this community, and I expect the publisher of this newspaper gets commission on any subscriptions he can get for other publications. 1 know, too, that I will get what they promise me and if I have any kick they are here to take it up.

 Why Debut Is at St. Louls.
 Just why New York and Chicago allow the automobiles to make their American debut at St. Louis year af- ter year is a question that mystifies many persons but easily can be ex- plained without humiliating either of those cities, according to Captain Lee.
 They are hindered, he explains, by conditions that they cannot control but that rest with the Ruler of the Universe, These conditions are eli matic. The open fall and winter in the South, Southeast and Southwest indicate to the automobile manufac- turers a chance for multitude of early sales. And so they hurry the new shapes to St. Louis and thus give the Southerners, Southeasterners and Southwesterners an opportunity to compare the latest patterns of many manufacturers before buying, not a model of the season that is passing but one of the season that is yet to begin to pass.
 Auto lndustry's Geography Changes.
 The St. Louis autumn show has practically changed the geography of the automobile industry. Largely as a result of it, the first consignments and shipments of 1917 models of all of the leading manufacturers are made to the South, Southeast and Southwest. It also has meant the motorizing of this great section ot the country and marvellous road i'm provement.
 Captain Lee is authority for the statement that more than 20000 auto mobiles are owned in St. Louis alone
 The automobile open week and pa rades are to be features of the St Louis Fall Festivities, which include the Yelled Prophet pageant of 22 cleo tric floats, the night of October g and the St. Louis Agricultural Fair october to :. The Yelled Prophet pageant is to depict scenes from Shakespearean plays, this year being the Shakespeare Tercenjenary. At the fair an agricultural pageant, showing 1 the evolution of farm equipment and farm practice from the day of the Indian to the present day, is to be staged

Americas first display, collective ly, of 1917 models of automobiles will be at St Louis, October 2 to ', in- elusive (Neiled Prophet Week..
 The new models will parade through the down business district of the city the morning of Tuesday. October g. and Thursday, October 5, each parade terminating at the St. Louis Agricultural Fair, where the ears will be parked together for con- parison.

 These parades are to be a feature Of an "open week" on Automobile Row, officially defined by the St. Louis Automobile Manufacturers and 1 Dealers Association as Locust street between Nineteenth street and Chan ming avenue (3400 vest.
 The association, which has charge of the open week and of the parades. has made arrangements whereby all of the St. Louis automobile concerns | not located on Automobile Row may share space during the week with con- cerns that are located there. ] A total of 10S kinds of autom obiles are sold by St. Louis dealers, accord ing to statistics made public by Cap tain Robert E. Lee, secretary of the association and editor of the Auto Review. F. w. A. Vesper is presi- dent of the association, which for some years held an annual show at Forest Park Highlands but has decid- 1 ed that, for varietys sake, the 1917 models shall make their debut diff ferently.
 Bands in Motor Trucks to Play.
 Military bands will play lively mu- sic from motor trucks up and down Automobile Row each night, October to '. and many novelties for the en- tertainment of the crowds will be in troduced. The salesrooms will keep open until 1030 o'clock.
 The 1917 models of virtually all the | leading makes will be exhibited on | Automobile Row and in the parades, i according to Captain Lee. i Prices will range from s345 to S10,- ! 900.
 Dealers are preparing to show some ! of the wonderful new creations in closed cars as well as their regular styles of touring cars and the vari ous kinds of "chummy" roadsters and "clover-leaf" roadsters and other odd types.
 The dealers in accessories and sup plies have joined in the open week movement and will show on Auto mobile Row the newest inventions for the equipment of automobiles. keep ing their stores open until 1O:3C D. m.
