CEASES A COYATE
 IN HIS MOTOR CAR
Don Drennen Tells Story of How Canadian Bags a Prairie
 Wolf

Coyote chasing is rapidly becoming a favorite outdoor sport with number of Dodge Brothers owners in the north the chase and subsequent extinction or the prairie wolf, have been received by Dodge Brothers at Detroit, and the one recently received by the Motor Sales company, Dodge Brothers dealers in Lethbridge, Alta, Canada, gives further indication of the growing popularity of this unique diversion.
 While touring with his brother and sister-in-law IS miles east of his home, E. A. Grant of Barons, Alta, jumped a prairie wolf, which was the beginning of fivenlle chase that ended in the death of the wolf,
 MT. Grants letter reads, in part:
 My brother said to me, Why don't you catch him?'
 q replied, 'All right, we'll give him a little workout
 We turned the car after MT. Wolf and for the first two miles everything went beautifully with him-except that his tongue was hanging out and he seemed trifle warm
 '"rhe next three miles I ran over him four times. The last time fixed him. All he needed was a knock on the head, which my brother gave him with the en- zine crank
 It is significant that this car, which was driven five miles cross country. cut ting, turning and twisting after nee- ing coyote, had been driven 13,0OO miles without single replacement or repair.

WAR ID INCREASE
 MOTOR BUSINESS
Merritt Says Automobile Men Are Proceeding on
 This Assumption

Manufacturers of motor cars are, as a rule, optimistic over the outlook and are proceeding on the assumption that the war will stimulate rather than cur tail motor car buying" said F. P. Mer- ritt of the Alabama Motors, local dis tributors
 Recently the presidents of motor car companies were asked flatly what eff feet, in their opinion, the war will have on. the mootr car business. The follow ing statement, made by J. c. Flowers, president of the Premier Motor corpora tion, is typical of the optimism and busi- ness courage that prevails among motor car makers
 Personally. 1 feel that the war will tend to increase business rather than depress it. Large manufacturing orders from the government and greatly in- creased purchasing power, as a result of the American loan, will put stupendous sums into circulation, and this money must find it's way into the pockets of the public.
 Thousands upon thousands of new au- tomobile prospects will be created among those who have looked upon the motor car as a luxury beyond reach. Slightly higher prices will prevail, both in the first cost of motor cars and in their op- ration, but increased money making power will more than offset this.
 The war will greatly stimulate all American industry and thereby make the entire country more prosperous, which means a healthier status for the motor car industry

BIG ADVANTAGE IN
 AIR COOLED MOTOR
Claim Is Made That Lewis Gun Has Again Demonstrated Efficiency
 of This Type

The international success achieved by the Lewis machine gun promises to have influence far wider than the expectations of it's inventor and packers. Again it has brought to light the argument of the su- perity of air-cooled cylinders under great heat over water-cooled cylinders. under like conditions.
 In the automobile field, it's counterpart is found in the motor of Franklin cars, and the Franklin company has been quick to take advantage of the opeging. The automobile concern points to the results attained by this gun in the tough cam paigns along the western battle line in France as another practical demonstra tion of the efficiency of air-cooling.
 Observers with the French and Eng fish army report that this light, air-cooled machine gun, which can be carried and operated by one man, has enabled the al- lies to hold positions where it would have been difficult to carry more cumber- some water-cooled machine guns. Fur thermore, they have been equally effective in offense,'' writes 8 Washington cor respondent to a Cleveland newspaper.
 Franklin factory men have mass of data showing that this same insurance against overheating has been proved time and again to hold for the operation of Frankl1n cars ms was speclauy DrOuSn nt out in a countrywide test three years ago, when 110 cars of that make ran 100 miles each in low gear without stopping the engine.
 Both in the automobile and machine gun activities. the makers have shown that great advantage III the air-cooled cylinder over the wa4er-cooled lies in freedom from freezing in cold weather and over heating in extremely hot weather Charles Denegre is local distributor of the Franklin.

WAR TO BRING BOOM IN
 BUSINESS, SAYS JEWETT

Increased instead of restricted pur- | chasing power, an extraordinary boom in general business and consequent coun- try-wide prosperity are the optimistic
 prophecies of business men who are
 analyzing the situation brought about by the entrance of the United States into the war" said Lawrence Pennington of the Detroit Motor Car company, local dis tributors.
 One of these prophets of optimism is Harry M. Jewett, president of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company. His com
 ment was the result of certain pertinent question that had been put up to him to answer He was asked for example, what effect the var would have on busi- ness in general. He was also asked if there would be a hold-up in the produc- ton of automobiles and other commer- cial products, whether the equipment by the United States of an army of 100000 men and the financing of 5,000, GOO eco would not seriously affect the financial condition of the country. Finally, he was asked the significant question whether the purchasing power of the people would be contracted to a certain de- gree. His answers were not only flat denial of any harmful results. but an enthusiastic and confident declaration Of optimism based on convincing facts and logic
 The financing of 5000, ,ooo, 900 by the government is something that should have been started years ago." said Mr. Jewett. 'NThe government should have continued to spend for our army, navy and coast defense until this country was in position of absolutely impregnabil- ity.
 The spending of s2,Ooo, GOO GOO for our own defense, which seems to be the present plan, is not matter of day or month. It takes time to equip an

army of 100000 men. but our factories are equal to the emergency. The money used is only released for circulation, as 1t comes back to the people in wages ana through the purchase of raw and fin- ished products. As for the proposed loan of SS,090,oOO,000 to the allies the financing of this operation will not be felt in the United States.
 If one will only take a glimpse at the banking situation in this country one will be convinced of this fact: It Is estimated that the capital surplus and deposits of our banks total approximately SSS, eco 0o0,000 at the present time There fore. the banks along could loan the na- tional government at least 6.000,000 coo and at the same time carry on the loans they are now making in the regular course of business to finance the industries Of this country.
 If this is the banking condition of the country at the present time how can anyone think that the financing of s0,Ooo, 00Goo by the people of the United States is going to make a disastrous i'm precision?
 The United States government can raise s5,000 00o,000 and keep on with sev- eral billion more without contracting the purchasing power of the people to the ex- tent that general business will feel the sting, for it takes times to. spend these billions and in the meantime the peo- pie of the United States will be getting that much more economic wealth. h. stead of contracting business, the war is going to increase business. It will give the people of the United States that much more purchasing power.
 What is making good times? Every factory in the country running to full capacity, every laboring man getting top notch wages. an every factory selling It's product at fair profit, every farmer getting topnotch prices for his grain and cattle. Why should anyone think under these conditions. that there IS going to be any contraction in the purchasing power of the people? The people have the money and they want manufactured materials of all kinds

club who proved himself most worthy of the task.
 Mir. Copeland of the Long-Lewis Hard ware company. who are the Ford agents at Bessemer, made an interesting talk or the service department, with which he is connected. Mir. Ted Brownel was present, and with his unfailing wit caused his hearers great amusement. MT Sandifer, sales manager for E. B.

 Last and best was the talk of R. c. Ruggles, assistant manager of the Bir mingham branch MT. Ruggles fairly ex- hales the spirit of optimism and the booster spirit of Birmingham. and it would do anyone good to hear him. Bir- mingham is very fortunate in having added to it's citizenship a man so pro- gressive in his ideas.
