SWEDEN, AS TRADE
 ALLY, AIDS GERMANY
Shipments Of Iron Are &00O,000
 Tons in Two Years

Washington. D. C.. July 9.-An of ficial report just made to the Ameri- can government showing the extent to which Sweden is furnishing supplies to Germany reveals that the Central Powers are receiving enormous quan- titles of materials that go directly into the manufacture of munitions
 In exporting iron ore to Germany Sweden, it is shown, has supplanted shipments with imports from the United States.
 Iron ore shipments from Sweden to Germany, the report made to the gov- ernment declares, have reached a total of 9,00O,O0O tons in the last two years, all of it of the high grade required in production of fine steel. This, it is declared, represents an amount equal to Sweden s entire pre-war export
 In the first quarter of the present year, it is set forth, Sweden imported from the United States 5000 tons of pig iron, while selling a great quantity of her own product to Germany. Her pig iron sales to Germany in two years, it is declared, have amounted to 250,00O tons. Tn addition to that, it is asserted, she has shipped to Ger many 15, 900 tons of ferrosilicon and ferromanganese for hardening shells, together with large quantities of cop per, zinc manganese, sulphur and other ores.
 Germany, the report declares, has obtained from Sweden in two years fully 100000 tons of wood pulp for use as a basis for cellulose used in stead of cotton for the manufacture of high explosives. It is declared Ger many also has obtained from Sweden large quantities of ball bearings for use in the manufa cture of war vehicles and submarines. The value of the shipments, the report declares is at least s75, 100000.
 Another charge against Sweden made in the report is that she has discriminated against the Allies in the use of her railroads Overland trade through Sweden between Norway and Germany has been encouraged. 1t is declared. while the Allies have been subjected to every inconvenience and exorbitant rail rates charged. Agri- cultural machinery destined for Rus sia, the report declares, has been held up for months, Sweden exacting from Russia extraordinary bargains before delivery was permitted.
 Swedens action in holding within her ports a large amount of merchant tonnage Is dealt with in the report, which declares 6OO,OO0 tons are lying idle. Sweden's total tonnage is about 100000 tons dead weight, of which she requires about 100000 tons for her own export and import trade.
 The Allies. unable to force Swedish tonnage into the worlds trade routes, now look to the United States for help and, it is said, believe her shipping will be put into service if the United States and Great Britain come to an arrangement as regards bunkering. Coal, under the arrangement, would be refused to ships of any nation re- fusing to put ships into services the Allies demanded should be kept open by neutrals.

Automobile Is Boon TO
North Dakota Farmers

To no class of people has the auto
mobile proved a greater boon than to
the farmers, and in no section of the
North Dakota. r.
North Dakota is a country of great
distances. In some of the more newly
settled parts of the state railroads are
few, if they exist at ALL and the inter!
urban electric lines, so we'll known in
the older states of the East, are un.
known as yet in this section.
Therefore the automobile, supply
ing a rapid, comfortable and effici.
ent means Of transportation for per.
sons or goods, has been great factor
in the upbuilding of the country dur
ing the last few years.
Through the medium Of the automo.
bile the farmers are able to get &C.
Quainted with their neighbors and en-.
joy the privileges Of social intercourse.
They are enabled to make more fire.
quent trips to town than could other
wise be the case, and are able to give
their children better educational ad-
vantages.
In the business field, the farmer
uses his automobile when he is com.
PEELED to make short business jour-
neys. 1t is utilized to take the milk
and other products to the market
town, and to fetch out needed sup.
plies to the farm.
The motor is rapidly being put to
a myriad of uses, and there is little
doubt that it's use in North Dakota is
just beginning to be thoroughly rea.

New Autos Scarce for
Many Months to Come

New York. March 19-Shiny new
motor cars will be scarcity for at
least the next six months, according
to a statement today by the National
Auto Chamber of Commerce.
Shortage of. freight cars has pro-
duced an acute stringency in the ship
ment of 1917 automobiles. In fact,
many manufacturers are said to be
considering closing so that shipment
may catch up with production.
In the automobile belt, in and
around Detroit, the clamor for freight
cars is so great and the supply so
few that new cars. ready for delivery
since the first Of the year, are still in
the shipping houses.
Contracts with time of delivery slip.
ulated are under manufacturers ban.
The National Auto Chamber of Com
MERGE stated it expected distribution
to be normal by late spring.
That the automobile car shortage in
Detroit is now worse than at any
time last fall, when it was stated that
at least $4,000 more cars were need
ed than were available, was definitely
determined Thursday afternoon, when
J. S. Marvin, of the National Auto
Chamber of Commerce, met in the
Detroit Board OF Commerce with traf-
1ic managers Of more than 80 Detroit
motor plants.
Mr.. Marvin came to Detroit Thurs
day and will remain here indefinitely
until the shortage has been relieved.
He said Thursday evening that not
more than so per cent of the required
number Of cars is being delivered at
the factories. Local traffic men place
the number at only about Is per cent
While Thursdays meeting was de-
voted entirely to the collection of data
concerning the shortage, no delay will
6e made in attacking the problem. Mr.
Marvin will confer Friday with local
railroad officials in an effort to secure
the delivery of more cars. He will
also confer with traffic men and fac.
tory officials in an effort to obtain
better facilities for handling cars that
are delivered.
Traffic men from Detroit, Flint, Lam
sing and Toledo attended Thursdays
meeting. They declared the shortage
to be general throughout all automo-
BILE manufacturing cities of the coun-
try, although Detroit is in greater need
Of cars than the eastern cities.

BATTERIES ARE LIKE TIRES

BATTERIES like tires" says the local
Willard Service Station, "are very
much alike as far as care goes, and If
the motorist would learn to think OF
them both in the same way, he would
save himself all kinds of trouble and
disappointments.
There is not a mOtOrist in the
country who does not regard tire re.
newals as perfectly legitimate ex-
pense and buys new tires as cheerfully
as he buys gasoline. The storage bat
terry is just as legitimate an expense.
1t is not designed to last as long as
the mechanical parts of the car, nor
should any man expect it.
Being an electro. chemical device
and not mechanical one it is bound
to wear down sooner or later.
Just as tires should be kept fully
inflated up to proper pressure so a
storage battery should be kept fully
charged. A half charged storage bat.
terry is not going to give any better
service nor have any longer life than
half inflated tire.
LAS far as actual operation is con.
cerned, the motorist has no intimation
in either case that he is not doing the
right thing, but suddenly without any
warning the tire blows out or the bat
terry goes dead
Just as hard rough riding over poor
roads causes stone bruises and cuts in
tires, so it may cause broken jar in q
battery. This, of course, means that
if broken jars are to be avoided, the
battery must be firmly clamped down
and the machine driven with some
amount of care A broken jar is prac-
tically equivalent to a blowout or
puncture in the tire. No motorist
would attempt to run his machine on
blown-out tire nor should he try to
use his battery with one cell broken.
"A tire begins to wear out immedi-
ately after it is made, for whether it
is in actual use or not, the rubber be-
comes brittle and loses its life. Tire
manufacturers, as matter of fact,
consider tires that have been in stock
for some time, as seconds.
"A battery also begins to wear out
as soon as it is made whether it is in
use or not. Deterioration in an un.
used battery, however, is very slight.
"A secondhand battery is no more
salable than a secondhand tire. No
car owner, then, should bring tenn
porarily imperative battery to the
dealer and want it exchanged for a
new one, even if he is willing to "pay
the difference" If upon examination
it is not worth repairing, he will allow
its full scrap value toward the pur-
chase of new battery.
mo car owner takes a tire to the
repair shop, and, while it is being re-
paired demands that another be sup
piled to him to use. There is no logi-
cal reason why he should make this
demand when he takes a storage bat
terry in to be repaired. However, we
have batteries Of all types and sizes
for rental at very reasonable price
while the owners battery is being re-
paired.
Both tires and batteries are guar
anteed against defects in workman
ship or material, but neither is guar
anteed against breakdown if the car
owner abuses them. The car owner
pays for tire repairs and never thinks
q thing about them. In the same way
he should cheerfully pay for such re-

SEES AUTOS HELP
SAVE FOOD SUPPLY

Every time an automobile displaces
a horse, five acres are added to the
agricultural area of the country.
Among the economic influences of the
motor car, this is one phase that is
commonly overlooked.
There are about 26,000,000 horses in
the United States and each horse con-
sumes six or seven tons of food a
year. It is easily figured that an
average Of five acres is required to
furnish food for each horse. This
means total of 130,000,000 acres of
land devoted to pastures and raising
hay-over 100000 square miles. This
means nearly five states as big as
Ohio-an area larger than Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and Iowa, devoted to
feeding horses instead of people.
OF course the releasing Of all this
area from pasture uses and making It
available for the support of popula-
ton will be a tremendous economic
gain. In dozen other ways the auto.
mobile is adding more to the wealth
Of the country, relieving urban con-
gestion, making men more efficient.
The automobile has done more to
bring better roads than all other in.
fuences combined and in this it is
stabilizing produce markets, decreas.
ing costs of transportation from the
farm to the railroad and making the
food resources elastic and responsive.
