WHERE are few evelGs of import
 ance that occur in Birmingham
 A in which automobile men do not play an important part. In the recent reunion of the Confederate veterans the question of getting sufficient number of machines to convey the vet erans during the parade was an inn portant one.
 Oscar Underwood, Jr., Hubert Dren- nen and W. B. ("RedD Smith were look ed to to make the recessary ar engagements for automobiles. Their sue cess in handling this problem is now well known to the public Enough ma chimes to carry all the v(erans who wished to ride, sponsors and digni- taries were secured and everything worked smoothly. Credit is due this committee for their work which they performed so well.
 "Ted" Brownell has recently re- turned from 8 trip to Detroit. He had good time and thought of the boys down here who were suffering from the heat each time he hesitated and walked into a coolly ventilated room where his wants were conveyed to one dressed in white with smile on his countenance. With the exception of be- ing a little hoarse from over -exertion of his vocal apparatus, which came in handy to blow the foam off his clothes, he is all right.
 Sam Jones of the Drennen aggre- gation was one of the most popular men during the reunion. He was elect ed official life saver" by the visiting automobile men,
 The Overland Birmingham company has a stock of parts which runs into thousands of dollars. The second floor of this establishment is used to store more than $25,006 worth of parts. They can build an Overland car from this stock of parts on short notice.
 Ray Bolton says of all the reunions that have ever been pulled off the one of last week was in class by itself. To say that Ray enjoyed himself is ex- pressing it mildly. He and Frank Gaf- ford knew most of the ge1erals by first name All of which facilitated matters greatly
 There was slight drizzle on Thurs day, the day of the parade. Some got wet by the rain. Quite a few of the boys were damp the majority of the week.
 w H. Young and Jack Robinson of the Detroit Motor company worked as they never did before during the re- union week. They were sFccessful in landing several orders for Paiges and Grants.
 The Brownell Auto company received a shipment of 20 Fords last Wednes day. They were gone by Friday.
 Roy Kay and Hal Coombs stuck to the job and sold accessories even if the whole Drennen gang did desert the shop most of the week.
 Charley Hawley of the Birmingham Motor company is having much suc- cess in the sale of Hupps. Charley is begging away and it won't be long be- fore he will have the boys sitting up and taking notice.
 The Kelly Springfield electric sign on the top, of the Birmingham Motor company is attracting a great deal of attention. It is one of the handsomest signs of its kind in the sestth.

Hozp War Trucks Are Handled

Great credit is due the various Amer ican truck manufacturers who have put patriotism abov dollars in their efforts to make the motor truck expedition of army into Mexico a, success. They have sent the most expert drivers and me chancs from their factories for service at the front; and at Fl Paso, Columbus and other assembling points, have es- tablished stock depots to furnish parts with no more delay than if the trucks were driving up to the factory door"

Luther Burbank Joins Ranks
 of Wi1lyS-Knight Motorists

If was the extreme quietness of the Knight motor with it's lack of ostenta- tion that first attracted it to him. Then its simplicity of construction and opera ton was like an open book to his linn tied knowledge of motor construction.
 After having had demonstrated to him practically all the high-grade cars on the market he returned to the Willys- Knight as the most satisfactory and coming nearer his ideal than any of the other cars.

From the Chicago Herald.
 A darky was endeavoring to make clear to friend just what constitutes oratory.

Build Roads to Benson

The roads leading out of Benson
north along the San Pedro are
about as bad as roads can be and
still be travelable. AS a result a
large volume of trade, In Benson s
rightful business territory, daily
goes to Wilcox or some other
town, because travel, like almost
everything else, follows the line Of
least resistance. Benson should
wake up, get busy and prepare tc
buile a good road down the river
so that the farmers, miners. stock
men and others can come to this
town to do their trading.
Why wouldn't it be d good idea
to reorganize our Board of Trade
and give it a new lease of life as a
factor in promoting good roads and
other public improvements
If Benson people want the out
side trade they must spend money
to attract il. You must give or
spend, if you expect to receive re,
turns. This is> true ia any line.
Get busy. Build Benson's Busi-
ness Bigger. n

Watering Place Needed

There Is talk of move to seeRre
q watering trough or bowl for the
accommodate of farnaers. stockmen
and other coming into town from
the surrounding country or passing
through. At present there is no
public place in town where horse
may drink or a farmer water his
team This makes a hardship for
those driving in, and adds nothing
to Benson's reput 4tion for enter
prise and hustle.
There was ench watering place
maintained by subscription ia the
past, but owing to circumstances
it was found difficult to continue
owing to the depredations of ire
sponsible parties, who would med
die with the fixtures and waste the
water.
notwithstanding the constant in
crease of mutor vehicles it will
yet be long time before the peo
pie of this valley do way with the
horse; therefore there will be much
teaming in and out of Benson for
some time to come. To make it a
little better for the teams would be
an humane effort for the many
which come here 1t is hoped that
the business meu and citizens will
zee that it is carl led out.
