Bringing the factory to the dealer is
an entirely new stunt" in the motor
car world. AS a rule it is necessary for
the agent to make the journey to the
factory and there CLEAN his knowledge
of the car he sells. The Odds Motor
Works have reversed this proposition.

This week the Pollock Car Corpora

ing no general automobile show in Wash
ington. In addition to displaying the
various model Oldmobiles, the company
called in the agents from the surround
ing territory. The car in detail was ex.
planned to them by factory experts. Aft

significant thing about the large pro-
portion Of owners who run their machines
themselves is that the sale OF automo-
biles in the United states Is far from
being limited to those who understand
mechanical things. In other words, the
degree in which the automobile may be
classed as a vehicle requiring an expert

Still. 1t is probable that not one person
In ten who operates a car knows any
thing about its mechanism. Such a con-
dition is bound to have an important
Influence in the future design of motor
cars.
1t is a condition which means a ten
dency toward greater reliability in auto
mobiles; simplicity in design and con-
struCtiOn-the smallest number of things
to look after and care for
In this connection 1t is interesting 10
observe that there Is a real distinction
between American and European cars,
based on the proposition that in this
country cars are to very large extent
driven and taken care of by their own
ers, while in Europe probably the major
ity are looked after by mechanics and
operated by chauneurs.

"ANGEl STATE" GAINS ONLY
$4,000 POPULATION
IN TEN YEARS
WET COUNTIES WIN
Analysis of Figures Show That
Practically the Entire In
crease In the State Has Been
In Counties Where Liberal
Tendencies of People Prevail

According to an article in the Kan
sas City Star, the entire State OF Kan
sas only gained 1851 III population
during the ten years from 1905 to
1915. This article goes on to say that
while Kansas gained 127, 900 in pepu-
lation in the last ten years, 20 coun-
ties showed decreases in population.
All are in the eastern third of the
state. The high percentages of gain
are IN the western half. while the
largest aggregate gains are in the
four counties of Wyandotte. Shawnee.
Reno and Sedgwick. due TO the
growth OF the four largest cities Of
the state. Morton county, the ex-
treme southwest corner county, made
a gsfn OF more than 500 per cent. This
is the largest percentage OF gain in
Kansas, but many of the far western
counties gained 200 and 800 per cent
in the ten years.
Kansas could add more than six
thousand to the total population by
counties by including the inmates of
the charitable and penal institutions,
but all OF these were excluded
There are 4,S00 inmates OF charita'
bic and 1900 inmates of the penal in
situations.
The Star then gives the population
of the state by counties IN 1915 and
ten years previous.
BY analyzing this article carefully,
II will be seen that thirty-one coun-
ties in Kansas showed a loss of 49,
4S9 in population which Is an average
loss of 1,241 per county In ten years,
Noticeable In the list are. the ten
coanties which are usually known as
wet" counties, because OF the people
having liberal tendencies. These
counties shower gain of 96,921> OF
practically the entire gain shown by
the entire state of 106 counties.
The counties referred so are as fol
lows:

Counties

On the other hand some OF the
counties where the prohibition law is
most strictly enforced shows a de-
cided loss such as Allen county, $685.;
Miami. 2,06s; Washington. 1887;
Atkinson, 2.799, and Usage, 2,082
And these are the actual statistics
regarding that Angel State" of Kan
sas, which ia always touted as the
great commonwealth of the Union be-
cause OF prohibition.
For years newspaper articles have
been sent out by the Anti-Saloon
League for the purpose of showing
that Kansas is the most progressive,
the most advanced and the most
moral state in the Union.
Now comes the truth from the
u 8. Census Bureau reports. And
