CHAMP CLARKHAS
AN OVERLAND CAR
Men of Means Prefer This
Make to the Higher
Priced Autos.

The degree of perfection attained in
the medium priced car makes its APP
peal not only to those of moderate
means but also to people OF wealth
An excellent example OF this may
be found in the list of owners of Ov-
erland cars. During the past few
months Overland dealers have reported
an increasing number of sales to
prominent and wealthy people who
might heretofore have been considered
prospects for far higher priced cars.
Champ Clark, speaker OF the house
of representatives and A. L. Mohler.
president of the Union Pac Ific railroad
are among the most recent 10 add their
names to the long list OF Overland
owners Congressman Clark pur-
chased a Model SO Overland touring
car in Washington on the same day
that Mr.. Mohler bought his in Omaha.
Either of these men could have in
vested in any one of the high priced
cars selling at five or siS times the
price of the Overland If they so de-
sired. In fact, Mr.. Mohler already
owns two of the highest priced cars
made in this country. But the prac-
ticablity of the Overland, with its de-
tachable top and numerous other adj
vantages, appealed to him strongly as
a car of exceptional value.
A few years ago. men of their stand
ing were considered prospects exclu-
sively for dealers handling high priced
cars. Automobiles at that time were
judged solely from price standpoint
and 1t was a rare event for sales
man to interest a wealthy man in any
car that did not sell at top figure.
But quantity production methods
now in vogue in this country have en-
abled big manufacturers such as the
WHY'S Overland company to put the

HEARS NOTHING
But PROSPERITY
Manager of Bertram Motor
Supply Company Back
From Extended Trip.

To travel from the western shores of
California through the southern states
and north to Chicago and to hear only
comments on the large amount of
business being done from bankers, au
tomobile houses and automobile manu-
featuring concerns, was the experience
of J. A. Cain, manager of the Bertram
Motor Supply company, who is just
home after a trip of two months to var
ious points in California, Texas, Mis-
souri, and Illinois.
Mr. Cain states that Fresno, Cal,
and Ell Paso, Tex, were the two cities
which he found to be booming most
and that they were doing a phenomenal
business in all lines and looked ahead
for a big business this year. At both
places, he stated, he talked with bank =
ers and. business men and they report
ed business good and business men es-
pecially stated there was less credit
business being done and more cash
buyers, which they felt was evidence
that working men were making more
money and were not doing credit BUSH
ness.
South Very Prosperous.
The south, stated Mr. Cain, is es-
pecially prosperous. The lumber in
dustry is booming and while the cot
ton crop last year was the smallest
for years, the prices were better and by
raising other crops in conjunction. the
farmers made more money than ever
before. In the Red River district, he
says, there were seven overflows last
year but despite the fact the farmers
all made money and were doing well.
In talking with the managers OF
large automobile concerns he found
they had bought heavily in metal
goods as they had found the money
market easy and the metal market
high. There was not a place which
Mr.. Cain visited on his two months
trip that he did not hear talks of good
business and what was more, he
states, 1t was in evidence. He found
building going on in the south, stores
all rented in the cities and towns he
visited and found people doing bust
ness on large scale.
Saw Carranza's Troops.
While in Texas Mr.. Cain made a
trip into Mexico and spent two days.
He saw number of trainloads of Car
ranza's troops and reports that the ma
| jority of them were boys of from 16 to
Is years OF age, but a goodly number
were old men ranging about so years.
He found them clad in jumpers and
overalls and all armed to the teeth.
He also met some Of Villas followers
at a town where he stopped and where
horse racing was going on daily and
gambling day and night. Villa money
in Mexico, he stated, did not have
much value, as $500 could be purchased
for one silver dollar of American money
and on the street cars it was not taken
at all.

MAXWELL RUN IS
ENDED AT LAST
Car Stopped to Give Other
Possible Contestants a
Chance to Mark.

After nearly douDllnE the tlgureS
that have, for three years, represent
ed the motor nonstop record, the Max
we'll touring car which has created a
complete set of long distance marks,
has been stopped at Los Angeles.
The Maxwelrs motor nonstop rec
ord is 22,022.3 miles. This replaces a
former record of 12,404.9 miles.
The end of the run was almost civic
holiday in Los Angeles. Thousands
gathered at the appointed place. chok-
ing traffic and rendering the new en-
durance champion and its crew an
ovation new in the annals of motor
ing. Mayor Sebastian of Los Angeles
himself stepped to the drivers seat and
switched off the ignition. For the first
time in nearly A days, the Maxwell
motor missed its life giving spark and
stopped.
Officially the run was declared ended.
Practically il will continue for many
more days, as the car was Immediately
re-started and left for a triumphal
tour through southern California and
Arizona, where it will be shown to
thousands of enthusiastic motorists
who have watched its progress to it's
championship.
Last Days Run Biggest.
That the run might have continued
indefinitely without a motor stop was
the belief of the Maxwells crew and
the official a. A. A. observers. AS a
demonstra ton of it's perfect condition,
the finals days run was made the
longest and fastest of the entire a.
which comprised the whole trip. Dur
ing this "a hours, the car covered
562.5 miles,
AT no time in the tour was the
cars average below 500 miles a day.
/ This fact resulted in it's anneXing all
long distance records from 1000 miles
upward, thus adding to the laurels of
the new endurance champion. During
the run the car used 1905 gallons of
gasoline, 474 pints of oil and "a quarts
of water
craftsmanship was the chief factor
in putting an arbitrary stop to the
-un when even more striking results
might have been attained. 1t is the
hope of the Maxwell forces that other
Pacific coast distributors may emu
late the example of the Lord Motor
Car company, which conducted the run
At least two other large dealers had
informally promised to attempt to
beat the Maxwell record. These
promises were made early in the his
tory of the run. 1t was feared that
in case the Maxwell continued fur =
Their, the result would thoroughly dis
courage competition.
Who Will Try Next7
Motoring authorities nationally and
on the Pacific coast, realizing that
motor non stop competition is now
about the only form open to stock
cars. are anxious to encourage its re-
/ viVal in every way. Their requests
were Joined to the fact that the sales
activities of the Lord organization de-
manded the attention of the members
of the cars crew.
The test was throughout under the
sanction and observation of the con-

fore the start. Observers appointed
by Cooper, checked every foot of the

Acid Dropped in Eye

Harry r. Warren. a Mason valley
rancher. may lose the sight of one
eye as the result Of going into a Reno
barber shop to secure relief from the
pain caused from having a cinder
blown into it. The barber dropped
into the eye what he thought to be
eye water, but what proved to be
muriatic acid. He declares the acid
must have been in the dropper when
he bought it. Warren is now in the
hospital, where the doctors state il
is practically certain that the left
eye cannot be saved, but that they
hope to save the right one.

Caught With Short Weight Scales

Gardnerville Courier: l.. M. Jacob
gen reports that two hide buyers
from Reno, who were in the valley
this week. were using short weight
scales. He bargained to sell them
IL sheep pelts. which weighed on
their scales 81 pounds. He closely
examined the scales and found them
to be doctored, whereupon he de-
manded the return of the pelts. and
at the same time ordered the men
from the premises. After they had
taken their departure, Mr.. Jacobsen
weighed the pelts on his own scales
and found that instead of 81 pounds
they weighed "a, a difference Of IL
pounds. Had he not detected the
short-weight scales he would have
been cheated out of S2.25.

WORK AHEAD FOR CONGRESS

Congress will meet Monday. De-

month.
Members of the new Congress will
begin to draw pay from March a,
but will not meet until December.
1917, unless the President calls them
for an extra session. If. as now
seems probable. the Republican party
has a majority in the next House.
the President will not be likely to call
an extra session unless the needs of
the country imperatively demand it.
The Senator'S and Representatives
will have about all they Ear do. be-
fore March a. to pass the appropria-
ton bills for the fiscal year begin
ming July l. Every item is supposed
to be studied carefully, that nc mon-
ey may be wasted. If foreign affairs
should become critical the appropri-
alton bills might be neglected, and
then the President would have to
call an extra session of the new Con-
Orooc

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Woman's Party Won Nothing

VoU7on . 1oTtt won fvotnm8
Carson Weekly: The chairman Of
the National Woman's party profess
es to be we'll satisfied with the work
of herself and helpers during the re-
cent campaign. She says they made
woman suffrage a National issue.
She is easily pleased. Nothing that
she contended for won. Nothing
that she was paid to do brought re-
suits desired by those furnishing the
money. Many who have heretofore
favored suffrage were made to feel
that it might be better, in fact would
be wise. to let those States that have
not yet granted suffrage decide the
question for themselves. National
suffrage was given a permanent set
back by the actions of the Woman's
party. They did the cause they pro-
fess to love an irreparable wrong.
The only good they accomplished
was to demonstrate beyond a doubt
that the women of the West are in
telligent enough to do their own
thinking and cannot be sold or herd
ed into any political party.
