In no preceding years In the
history of the organization has
this company invested so much
in advertising as this year. Op-
timism prevails in every depart
ment, and throughout the COM
pany lines which girdle the globe.
High hopes are held for the
future. No change in policy Is
anticipated, and there is every
reason to believe we shall in
crease rather than diminish the
volume of our advertising.

You are able to own an automobile.
Your family are looking forward eagerly to the
day when they can ride in their own automobile.
And you expect to get them an automobile
some day.
10 miles of city streets and y miles Of country
road as smooth as floor are teasing you and
tempting you as they wind their way through the
shady woodland or along the cool clear waters Of
the West Fork River.
What delight to spend these evenings in a
car tanning through the refreshing breezes and
drinking in the health and energy and strength that
will make life what God intended it 10 be.
What wonderful new factor is an automobile
in the life Of those man cherishes. Anew sphere
of pleasure, closer acquaintance with nature and
keener grip on healthful living all belong to the
family that is so fortunate as to own an automobile.
Then, when it means so much to them, when
the time is so ripe, why do you hesitate9
The finest automobing season Of the year is
yet before you.

Practically Every Automobile Has Advanced
In Price Within the Past Year

The old adage says Il lie who hestates is lost"
Today he who hesitates loses, for he pays more.
Therei is not an automobile manufactured to-
day that has not increased its price within the last
eighteen months, and many Of them have increased
their price two and three times. j'
The brainy business men Of the country are
preparing for five years Of strong demand andhigh
prices. 1t is next to impossible to think that prices
will be lowered in the next five years.
On the other hand, manufacturers are expect
still higher prices. These prices are advancing with
out much warning,
The common-sense thing to do if you are 60
ing to buy car, is to buy it NOW. Your dealer
can protect you from these raises if he has your (
order, but he can't if he doesn't have it
Go to the dealer below who sells the car you
want and place your order. It will save you
money, and it may save you time because cars are
hard to get and freight shipments are slow.

folk, Good morning! Have you used
CASTLE soap?"
The headdress Of the Goddess is
likewise receiving attention. In the
dome are 800. 900 pounds OF iron and
during storms this mass becomes very
heavily charged with electricity. To
give this electricity means OF exit
there are placed on the different
points of her starry headdress, seven
prongs OF finely finished brass. These
prongs taper down 20 line points and
are gold-plated TO within one and a
half inches OF their length. Tie tips
are of platinum and cost 500 each.
They are frequently damaged by
storm and have to be replaced.
Picture Hs. History.
The accompanying picture has a
curious little history. For abou.
thirty years rigger at the Capitol
controlled the exclusive right to wash
the face of the Goddess. His name
was Albert Ports and he would per-
nit no other person to be so famiIIaI
as to touch the face of Miss Liberty.
While performing the task. in 1874
he fell from the scaffolding and land
ed on the gallery just over the first
order of columns. His fellow work
men rushed to assemble his broken,
dead body, but found him sitting VI
nursing a fractured wrist.
The wrist was indifferently set and
he carried the marks of it until the
day he died. His death, too, has q
queer ending. Four years ago he
again successfully washed the face OF
the Goddess and descended from the
perilous height in safety. Going &c
the basement OF the Capitol to put
away some tools he fell three feet
and was killed.
Just how the picture OF Ports and
Miss Liberty was taken seems COM
pick but 1t is quite simple. A stick
of spruce, IS feet long was fastened
to the scaffolding. Or the other end
was placed another piece feet high
On top of this upright a camera fas.
tened. a fish-line run to the shutter
and workmen below pulled the string.
