CREDITS FARMERS FOR
AUTOMOBILE EFFICIENCY

W. o. Allen the genial general manager
Of the Allen Motor company at Fostorfa.
Ohio. believes in giving credit where credit
IS due, and Mr.. Allen even goes so far rs
to give the farmers Of this country credit
for the present efficiency Of the automobile.
Mr.. Allen IS an old hand in the motor car
field and this statement from him means
something. Putting it in his own words.
The influence Of the farmer on the motor
car industry is more far reaching than Is
generally appreciated. Regardless Of what
may be said to the contrary. the farmer IS
responsible for the exceptional values Of
fered By any one Of number Of the leading
manufacturer It IS only in recent years
that the farmer has been considered serious
ly a motor car buyer and his purchases
have grown so rapidly that about 20 per
cent OF the output Of American factories Is
now absorbed by the country districts With
from 50 to so per cent Of his production go
ing to farmers the motor car designer has
been forced TO take into consideration the
farmers needs in building his car and she

ACCESSORIES OVERTAY
BATTERY EQUIPMENT

When a motor car manufacturer
builds a car. he puts in it a starting and
lighting system to suit the rest of the
car. Then he gets a battery with suffi-
Client capacity to take care of that
electrical system.
As reported by the Willard Storage
Battery company. of Cleveland. some
owners tax their batteries beyond the
limit by adding horns, lights and cleo
tricaI accessories. Then they wonder
why they haven't enough current to
give them satisfactory results. Others
are not satisfied with the lamps fur
nished, and buy larger lamps that use
more current. The result is that the
generator can't supply enough current
to keep the battery charged, because
the discharge is too rapid.
These manufacturers OF batteries
have suggested that those car owners
who want additional electrical equip
ment, go to a Willard service station.
and there let the expert in charge de-
termine what capacity of battery is
needed to adequately care for every
piece of equipment, without danger Of
keeping the battery in a constantly
weak condition.

Wild
''SNIPER" TALE
It Was State Rangers Who
Tried to Stop Cars Near
Fort Hancock.

Motorists are perfectly safe even
along the Texas border, according to
stories brought to FL Paso by the state
rangers During the past week several
motorists have come into town with
thrilling" tales Of hOldups or attempt
ed holdups by villa snipers." 1t re-
NAMED for G. E. Gavin and R ". EN-
cry, of the Western Auto company, to
spill the beans" for one thrilling tale
reported here on Monday last.
This story was to the effect that GER
tain motorists had barely escaped"
from villa snipers" who had fired
shots at them near Fort Hancock. But
let Mr. Gavin tell the tale:
Emery and ] we're coming into FL
Paso and were just this side OF Fort
Hancock when we were Tagged BY
state ranger Ivy Finley. who used to
be a member OF the FL Paso police
force Ranger Finley said that we were
the eighth party he had attempted to
flag but the only one who stopped. He
said that the others simply shot their
gears Into high, threw on the gas
ducked their heads and said their pray
ers Later we also discovered that they
told some thrilling stories Of attempted
holdups by villa snipers.'
1T appeared that Mr.. Finley had cap
tured two heavily armed Mexicans who
had crossed the international boundary
near Fort Hancock and he wanted 10
have some Of the motorists get word
into Ell Paso to sheriff p. ]. Edwards
to send out for the prisoners. The mo-
florists. as we afterwards discovered,
went along that road with their hearts
in their mouths and when they saw the
armed ranger and his party they de-
cided il was an attempted holdup anu
didn't stoD to pass the time OF day.
I'VE spent a pleasant few minutes
with Mr.. Finley and his men and final
" arranged to bring the two prisoners
in charge Of deputy sheriff Brooks, into
I3t,f fine Fort Hancock road is free from
'snipers.' despite the thrilling tales that
are being told here and sent broad
cast over the country"

SIMPLICITY IS
NOW DEMANDED
Prospective Buyers Should
Investigate Claims of
Car Dealers.

In considering the purchase Of an
automobile it is a good rule to figure
out in advance all the prospective re-
quirements to be placed on the car. Is
the car to be used for business pur-
poses, for pleasure, for everyday trips
around town, for touring or to meet
different needs?
Then. the man who is about to invest
in a car should consider the question of
who is to drive it-whether he is going
to be the driver, his wife or other mem
Der of the family or chauffeur. By
putting these things down on paper and
striking an average" as il We're, there
ought to be no mistake IN selecting the
car best suited to perform the service
which will be required.
In connection with every purchase,
no matter what conditions are to be
met, there is another fundamental con-
sideration. and that is simplicity It's
Importance cannot be too strongly en-
phasized, especially if the buyer knows
little or nothing about things mechan-
zeal and does mot propose to employ an
expert to look after the car.
If you are going to drive the car
yourself you want the car which is the
easiest to operate a car simple in de-
sign and construction, easy to under
stand and easy to take care Of. I'M
necessary complications can always be
criticised even when an expert me-
chanic is in charge
There is a growing recognition of
the value Of simplicity as an automobile
element, for the reasons indicated in
the foregoing. Besides, the prudent in
weston in a motor car appreciates that
by the elimination of unnecessary parts
there is going to be large saving in
the cost Of Operation-in the gasoline,
tire and repair bills.
Undoubtedly the time win come when
the car with the smallest number Of
parts will sell for the biggest price be-
cause it will he the cheapest in the
long run.

ALLEN DOUBLES ITS
ANNUAL PRODUCTION

Regardless OF the point OF view" said
z. E. Wiseman. OF the Cactus Motor COM
pany, local Allen dealers. THE past season
has been a rich one for the Allen Motor
company Every department was busy and
car production was double that Of the pre-
viOus season. This increased production
coupled with a simplified design and faster
methods allowed a drop Of 500 in price
even with a larger more powerful car. So
you see the season was a good one for the
car buyer. Two new plants. Of huge proper
lions were constructed. one in FOstoria and
one in Bucyrus and they are already run
ming at capacity. I understand the Allen
company Is already planning further addi-
lions and I only hope II is true because
every Allen dealer in the country will want
a lot OF cars this coming season"
