AUTOMOBILES NOW
Cheaper Than EVER
This One Reason Why
100000 Cars Were
Sold Last Year

Automobiles are so cheap today
that no one can afford 10 be without
one said a leading manufacturers
monthly.
One fact that no one can overlook
at this years shows is that good,
practical cars can be purchased for
from $500 to $1,000.
This is the reason that over 2,200.-
600 cars are registered in this cOun-
try, and that nearly 100000 cars were
built and sold last year
That the motor car is no longer a
luxury but a necessity is indicated by
the fact that one family out OF every
twenty-one in this country owns a
car today, and this proportion will
be increased this year through the
building and marketing of over one
million new cars.
So far as motors are concerned,
they are all good and efficient,
whether on a $500 car or a machine
Of the $4,000 and over class, and no
one thinks any longer of wondering
whether a car will run OF do the
work. They know il will.
The ordinary owner will not take
care of his car. and that a wonderful
amount of abuse a car will stand is
shown by the way the average auto
mobile is abused by its owner So
today it can be said to be practically
fool proof.
How Prices Have Fallen.
How the price OF automobiles has
come down in the past few years is
indicated by the fact that the price
Of car ten years ago was S2,500 OF
more. while today the average price
Of a car at the show is SS14.

ELIMINATING FARM DRUDGERY

One of the chief factors working
against the back to the farm move
ment is the drudgery usually con-
nected with farm life and the conse-
quent reluctance of the city man to
leave the modern conveniences and
labor saving devices Of the city, ac-
cording to e. v. Floyd, assistant pro-
lessor in physics in the agricultural
college.
"In contemplation of move to the
country it is possible to take these
things back to the farm" said Mr..
Floyd. "This is being done in many
cases where the lighting, heating,
water supply, and rapid transporta-
ton of the city are being introduced
on the farm"
The old kerosene lamp is being dis
placed by the modern acetylene lamp
for each individual room, or in many
instances, the acetylene plant which
lights all the farm buildings, points
out Mr.. Floyd. A miniature electric
light plant is another possibility.
Furnaces, artificial gas plants, and
electricity can be used to advantage
| in heating farm homes.
| One of the cheapest and most
popular labor saving machines is the
gasoline engine which not only does
the blowing, hauling, feed grinding
and separating for the farmer, but
also furnishes motive power for
washing and churhing for his wife.
The gasoline engine, which does prac-
tically all laborious work on the
farm, is one of the most important
contributions to the back to the farm
movement. a. %.
BY means of the compression water
system, drawing, pumping and carry

done by the hose, which also makes
possible an attractive lawn and fresh

overcome by good roads and slow

for farm, giving in exchange some
city property. When he went to
take possession of the farm he
found it had been grossly misrep-
resented. He brought suit and OBJ
tanned damages. A second trial

MAYOR SAYS ONE
YEAR MORE WILL
prove ECONOMY
Thinks Supervisors Being I'M
Justly Criticized When Only
Half Through Term

That the present city administra-
tiCn by the end of its present term
will prove TO have been one OF the
most progressive and economical in
the history of Honolulu is the con
tention of Mayor Lane.
We are hardly half way now,
said Mayer Lane yesterday We are
being criticized for expenditures
which had TO be made in line with
our policy, and at the beginning OF
our administration Much Of our mon
ey has been spent for equipment
which had TO be purchased, but the
final Reckoning at the close of oul
administration will show that we have
been both economical and progressive
I'VE are doing much for the pro-
lection and good Of our citizens, con
tinues the mayor, much that is neces
sary. for the Honolulu OF today is not
the Honolulu of half a decade ago
and expenditures must be made 10
correspond with the city's growth.
Mayor Lane mentions the need OF
money to protect the city from a Grim
inal class that is increasing all the
time. Police are now necessary, he
SAYS, in sections where people for
merly had neither bolts TO their doors
or bars 10 their windows"
Also, he mentions the purchase oil
the three new fire engines, which is
commendable, he maintains, iii view OF
the needed protection against loss Of
property. Ample fire protection will
lessen insurance rates wonderfully
he says.
Frontage Tax Costs Money.
I'VE have promised to stand by the
frontage tax, and we are doing so,
continues the mayor, but to do sc
means an increase in our expenses
Also il means more meetings by the
board. more consultations with the
attorneys department, and more road
committee reports. All of this shows
that we are sincere in our efforts.
The board is trying to get the pol
icy of the administration on bust
ness line, the mayor declares. I'VE
are going ahead irrespective OF pc
litical prospects, trying to the bes'
of cur ability to do what we believe
is right. On the whole | am well sat
