BIG FIELD FOR COMMERCIAL
CARS IN SMALLER CITIES.

The theory thata the market for
commercial cars is restricted pretty
much to large cities is disproved in
figures compiled by the Studebaker
Corporation and announced through
Henry T. Myers, sales manager Of the
commercial car division. -.
Commercial car sales in towns of
5000 to so, 900 inhabitants are con-
|siderably greater in proportion to the
population than in the large Cities y
says Mr.. Myers. 1--WE can name in
stances even where the Studebaker
commercial sales in certain small
towns have been in excess Of pleasure
car sales during the past four months.
"There are several Studebaker COM
mercial car dealers who in the past
three months have sold between ten
and twenty-five commercial cars in
towns Of not over $4,000 population.
One dealer who lives in q town Of a
population Of some $4,000 people has
sold as many cars to merchants, liv-
erymen and farmers ss the total sales
Of each of three large branches"
Selling commercial cars is not a
matter Of location or Of population. It
is wholly a matter Of getting out and
going after commercial car business
along well defined. and systematic
| lines. Of the 10000 shalf-ton and one
| ton models to be produced during 191e
| by the studebaker corporation, q large
proportion have been spoken for by
distributors in towns Ola size that
were not considered seriously as

Bismarck, N. D., May 24.-Politioal

growing more complicated each day.
In the Republican party an "insur-

strength of the progressive republi-
cans in twain is the opinion Of politi-
clans who have made a close study Of

The governorship is attracting re-
markable attention with four candi-

Burdick and George Smith. This bat
tie is holding first place in the interest
of the voters, even the United States

That Burdick and Frazier will di-
vide the strength ordinarily polled by
the progressive republicans is gener-
ally accepted. Frazier has the sup
ort Of the league. Burdick, under or
binary conditions, would have received
the united support Of progressive re-
publicans, as opposed to Frame.
Frame is absolutely confident Of the
outcome. His supporters take the po-
sition that he will receive added sup

the vote he does receive may be fac

Hanna's Prospects Said to Be Good.
: Governor L. B. Hanna has no politi-
! cal organization, but he has built up a
remarkable personal following and
many are inclined to co1.cede his sue

The feature tha appeals strongly for
him is the fact that he has been in

The Minneapolis Journal published
a story concerning the possibility of
Sam Clark becoming a candidate.fo
governor. According to the political
yarn, Sam is to be brought out by
Tommy Pool, who sees in this chance
to beat Col. Frame. Sam recently
hobnobbed with the Kaiser's family in
Germany, and in the Jim Jam Jems he
has appeared verye friendly to tn
Germans. He might get good share
of the German vote which otherwise
would go largely to Frame. Clark
may not become candidate, but the

BEECH STREET TRIANGLE
 FAVORED FOR FIRE HOUSE

On Wednesday the party of Little Rock officials appointed to inspect the various lots offered as sites for the new Pulaski Heights fire station went over the ground and examined all property between the first Hill- crest gate and the convent. No decision was reached, but there was no concealing the fact that the officials, especially Fire Chief Hafer, favored the trian- gle opposite the Morgan Smith block at Beech street and Pros pect avenue. If the city can ob- tain a satisfactory price from the owner of this property, D. E. Bradshaw, it is likely that it will be purchased. The second choice was a lot owned by H. F. Auten at Palm street and Pros pect avenue.

Renewed efforts will be made to induce the Little Rock School Board to erect a permanent brick school building in the Forest Park district on the at tractive site where the pupils are now housed in temporary portable buildings.
 This matter was up just a year ago when the crowded con- dition of the rooms required re- lief. The school board then com promised by building on an ad- ditional room and making a promise that they would build a permanent building when finan- cial conditions were better.
 Now that this section of the city is in Little Rock and money matters are easier it is suggest ed that the time is favorable for making a permanent improve ment, and a committee of citi- zens will carry a petition before the school board, asking early action.

1.-THE GARDEN OF ALLAH"
 COMING.

''The Garden of Allah" the big spectacular play from Rob- ert Kitchens novel, by that au- thor and Mary Anderson de Ma varro, will be the attraction at the Kempner theater for a limit ed engagement of three days, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri day, February 16, IT and IS, with special matinee on Thurs day.
 The presentation of the dram atization of the Kitchens novel is backed up and fortified by the superb pictorial and realistic manner of the production. The massive beauty of the settings and effects is utilized to drive across the footlights the essen tials of the romance between Boris" the renegade monk, and "Domini," who becomes his bride.
 The story of the play follows the novel, a fact that many thousand readers of the book will follow with enjoyment. The glowing and beautiful descrip- tions of the various scenes de- scribed by MT. Kitchens in the book are also closely followed. In fact, the authors, managers and producers spent many weeks in Morocco, where the scenes are laid, to get the desired atmos- phere. Many animals were also brought over to America-cam- els, goats, donkeys, pigeons and other live stock.
 Perhaps the most interesting of all the animate beings brought over are the Bedouins- a fierce tribe from the desert, to the number of thirty or more. These Bedouins, or Arabs, are the best fighters and riders in all Africa. Their heroism has been proven in many clashes with the French troops before France conquered that country. To this day the Arabs refuse to be con- quered, and a report of trouble in Morocco would depopulate the Arab contingent now with "The Garden of Allah
 Prominent among the mem- bers of the cast presenting the dramatic portion of the play may be found Lawson Butt, Howard Gould, Miss Edyth Lat inner, Miss Estelle Thebaud, All bert Andruss, William Jeffrey and Leo De Valery. The com pany in it's entirety consists of over one hundred, and is exact ly as seen for a year at the Gen. tury Theater, New York city.
 Special excursion arrange ments will be in effect during the above engagement.
