Franklin Breaks Record
For Auto Production

Breaking production records is get
ting to be a habit with the Franklin
Automobile company and this condi-
tion seems particularly expedient these
days when the demand for this eco
nomieal car has so greatly increased.
Only few weeks ago the company
reported a factory production record
of 28S cars per week, and now comes
the announcement that 29+ cars, an
average of S3.4 cars per day and for
the FIVE aud one-half working days of
the week, have been constructed in a
single week. Since the fall schedule
calls for 242 cars per week, it is ap-
parent that the producers are striving
at least to keep ahead OF the schedule
outlined for them, even if they can
not keep pace with the sales demand
for the Franklin car.

Still Another TWo-Hundred-
ThouSand-MiIe Mitchell

at isn't very often that people hear
of an automobile which has been run
over 100000 miles and is still in such
good condition that the owner is con.
templating a transcontinenta trip
in it.
The other day, though" said John
Tainsh, general sales manager of the
Mitchell Motors company, Inc, "the
Woodward company, Mitchell dealers
at Fresno. Cal, received two letters
which go to prove that really life
time car is a possibility after all"
This particular 200,0O0-mile Mitchell
was purchased by AL Griffin of Fresno
in 1908. He used it constantly for a
little over three years, driving over
100000 miles. One year he took the
car to Europe with him and toured
through England, Scotland, France,
Germany and Belgium.

Auto Industry Goes
"Over the Top" for Bonds

There is probably no one industry
in the United States that went over
the top more handsomely in Liberty
bond subscriptions than did the auto
mobile industry says General Sales
Manager John D. Mansfield of the
bort Motor Car company.
"As far as the manufacturing cor
porations themselves go, l have yet
to hear of one that did not exceed ex-
pectations in answer to this important
showdown of patriotism.
Factory employees generally came
through with the utmost liberality and
the news we have from the retail
trade completes a chain of reports
that makes us thoroughly proud of the
men who build, market and sell our
cars"

For Coal Merchants

Every coal merchant can continue to
make reasonable profit in spite of
fixed retail price. We will do our "Bit"
gladly and show him how this can be
done. We can show him because we
have specialized in the coalman's busi-
ness.
There is no other line that can use
more advantageously the motor truck;
for the retail coal business is nothing
more than a teaming or hauling
proposition.

AUTO TRUCKS HELP

Many Dealers Are Now Using
Big Power Wagons to Do
Work Formerly Done
by Railroad.

j. n. Hansen, sales manager of the
orr Motor Sales company. returned
friday from tour through western
Iowa and southern Missouri. Mr..
Hansen reports great prosperity in the
rural districts. Farmers everywhere
are harvesting the corn. The roads
and highways are in wonderful con-
dltlon for fall touring.
Merchants and manufacturers
everywhere this winter must face a
transportation situation which in hun
dreds of instances threatens the very
existence of their business activities" )"
says Mr.. Hansen. Everybody knows
what conditions were last winter, how
1t has become increasingly difficult to
get delivery of goods in the past few
months, and little study shows that
econdltions will be even worse this
winter. To meet the situation, the
railroads are working with great
energy and patriotic spirit. Railroad
presidents and their traffic experts are
devlslng plans to make one car do the
work of two.
Yet despite all these endeavors a
lack of railroad transportation is still
with us. The ice and snow of WIN
ter will make the situation worse.
Business men of foresight are
meeting, the situation by purchasing
heavy duty trucks. These mighty
carriers not only will aid in moving
freight over 40 mile hauls as the rail-
roads have asked. but actually now are
keeping many factory running. The
powerful six-tenners are being more
and more extensively used in inter-city
hauling, being used by contractors, be-
tween terminals and warehouses, by
coal men, wholesale grocers, packers
and others who must have heavy
loads transported quickly and surely"

Body Plays important Part
In Service of Motor Trucks

Motor trucks are about as common
now as pleasure cars. In the city,
through the country and on the farm
one finds them. They are becoming
as fixed in business life as heat, cleo
tricity, typewriters or the telephone.
Expert mechanics have improved the
mechanical parts of standard trucks,
such as the GMC, so that the depend
ability and pulling power is assured.
Distributors of trucks throughout
the middle west are now giving par
ticular attention to various types of
bodies. There was a time not long
distant when the farmer believed the
motor truck was only adapted to city
hauling. One reason for that was

Pontiac Man Tells How
To Conserve Gasoline

Frank K, Parke, general manager

Pontiac, Mich, has gotten behind the
movement to conserve gasoline and
has written letter to numerous auto
mobile dealers throughout the United

gasoline.
Parke claims that if motorists would

and clean car parts, if motorists
would quit JOY riding and drive at an
average speed of 20 miles per hour, if

liszt Fooled Then,.

Wrapped in his dressing gown and with feet incased in slippers, Franz Iiszt was sitting comfortably one eve ming in his armchair ready for work and inviting inspiration. On the floor above in the apartments of banker a noisy musical soiree was in progress Polonaises had succeeded waltzes and nocturnes had followed pOlonaises when suddenly the door of the salon opened and LisZt entered still wrapped in his dressing gown. The astonish- ment of the company may be imagined. With slow steps Liszt walked toward the piano. and the young key pounder who was sitting at it quickly left his place. Liszt sat down at the instru, ment. carelessly swept his fingers over the keys as if to prelude, and then sud denly he shut down the cover and put the key in his pocket. And immediate ly. with the same tranquil air with which he had entered. he went out and returned to his room, where he could work at his ease.

in order to do 1t a general houseclean- ing must be made of party undesir- ables or reformers, and that It's meth ods must be vigorous and thoroughly |reorganized.
 "I believe in party organization" '" he says, "and I believe in party ma chine. and I am not ashamed to say so. do not mean by this that I am in favor of enhancing the, private in- terests of some individual, but of a machine that stands for party organi- zation and party principles. -<
 The Republican national commit tee. he says, ought to be a truly rep resentative body. It ought to be con- tinuously active, looking out for party interests all the year round, not con- fining it's activities to a few weeks before and after each presidential election. It ought to work in close har mony with the congressional and sen atorial committees and it ought to go to the great mass of the Republican voters for it's funds. There should be a great many small subscriptions not a comparatively few large sub scriptions The party managers ought to stay away from downtown" in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and other large cities to fill the party treasury once every four years.
 "It is wrong," he says, "to have contributions made by few men of great wealth; because it gives certain men the belief that they are entitled to unusual consideration after cleo tion."
 There ought also to be a radical change in the manner of picking chairman for the national committee. "The men selected" he insists, must have a position in the party councils and experience as a party manager. The party should serve the masses In other words, although Senator Weeks did not say this, the chairman should be the representative of the party organization, not merely the individual chosen by the candidate for president-a personal friend, or a private secretary, or hired man, as in the last three cam- paigns.
 What the Republican party needs is teamwork in it's organization, and there has been nothing of the kind since the Roosevelt campaign in Post-Intelligencer.

Lincoin's Question Was . Poser For
 His Lawyer Opponent.
 The late Colonel Waters at the time of his death had practiced law longer than any other lawyer in Kansas City. He was admitted to the bar in Ma. comb. H.. before he was twenty-one years old. Abraham Lincoln was Q lawyer practicing in the same district then, and Waters rode in the same circuit with him. Once Colonel Wa ters retained his friend to help him in a case.
 The opposing lawyer. says the Kan sas City Star, demanded one of their witnesses should answer a certain question with a direct "Yes" or "No" Lincoln contended the question could not be answered in that way.
 There's no question on earth that can't be answered with a direct Yes or Mo-" declared the lawyer.
 You take the stand for a moment and I'll show you," said Lincoln.
 The lawyer took the stand, and Lin coin asked him. Have you quit beat ing your wifeT"
 The lawyer became indignant. and Lincoln repeated his question. The judge, laughing heartily. insisted the lawyer must answer.
 With the aid of Lincoln, Waters won the case. Lincoln charged him $25. a large fee in those days.

THE DIPLOMATIC CHEssBOARD.

While the latest German communi- cation on the subject of peace is in- terpreted as being step in advance toward tine cessation of hostilities, it adds comparatively little to the de- velopment of the past three weeks. The President, in his appeal to the belligerents, asked them to state their terms of peace. They have done SD but they are so ridiculously severe that there is little probability of their being accepted.
 The thing that Germany appeared to want most in the recent diplomatic spat was to have the Allies state their terms, in order to establish a basis from which to arbitrate. The Allies have replied, and in view of the unexpected severity of the reply the war is liable to go on to bloody conclusion.
 President Wilson took pains in his notes to the belligerents to say that he was not offering mediation nor posing peace, but that he thought the interests of the world might be conserved if the belligerents would state the terms on which they were willing to accept peace.
 Germany cleverly seized the note, however, as pretext for suggesting a peace conference, and thus linked President Wilson up with it's peace movement, despite the fact that the President is averse to meddling in a proposition for peace. The Allies, naturally, are peeved at President Wilson for furthering Germany's game, and have openly expressed their displeasure at the Presidents action, which they characterized as ill-timed and injurious to their cause in that it prejudiced neutral nations.
 But President Wilson should wor- ry. So long as America continues to be the Allies storehouse he holds the whip hand, and it is characteristic of the man to play the game his own way. The first move for peace has been made, and it has come through American channels. Whether it is ac- cepted or not is a matter of small concern to Americans.

When Hooked Thsss oamy Fish ~.

 The black bass Is the type of the lesser sized game fishes of America. Why? Because he is not only great in muscular energy and fights like g bulldog. yet in his strenuous efforts to escape shows almost human intelli- gence. He will run in and then on q slack line leap into the air and shake hfs body in his efforts to dislodge the steel Failing, down in the pool be surges and darts around a sunken rock. as if to sever the gut leader on the sharp or scraggy edges. or, failing, seek the bottom and there, unseen. brace his pectoral fins between two small rocks and i'll this fortress of defense jig, jig, jig on the line much as dog jerks at rope held in the hand.
 Some anglers have compared this ac. tion of the bass to the sulk of the salmon. which is reflective on the bass that never sulks, but is ever in action and fights to finish.
 But these traits of the black bass are like stories many times told to the old angler for "bronzebackers." but the young 'un perhaps is yet to pass through the thrilling experience of lighting an impaled bass with light rod. gossamer leader and feathered fly, and 1t is well to warn him of the acrobatic gyrations of the Micropterus dolomier, for such is the scientific nom de plume of our lordly f1ghter.-All Outdoors.

Mines Under the Farms.

Surroundings have little to do with mining. as is proved in northwestern Illinois. where corn. oats and hay are raised on the surface and lead and zinc are extracted from the rocks beneath the fields. Although in this particular locality agriculture is the principal in dustry. several hundred men are en gagged in zinc and lead mining. Most of the mines are 100 to POO feet deep. The lead sold from this region since mining began has brought about $50. 100000 and the zinc produced since about 1860 has been sold for about $1O.OOOOOO.
