BEATEN BY HUDSON
 MEXICAN BUYS ONE

General Jose Lechuga, millionaire sportsman of Mexico City. ventured an opinion that he had to underwrite at s2O,O00 during the April motor racing carnival at La Concesa track" said Cal. Messner, local Hudson super-six
 agent.
 "The general bet s2O,O0O on his Fiat against the Hudson Super Six inde- pendent entry backed by Philippa
 Lauria. The Super-SiX a week previous had cast a tire on the fourth lap of
 3O-lap race, and running on the naked rim retained the lead until the last lap
 when an accident forced it from the
 race. The bet resulted. The following saturday the Super-Six and the Fiat
 were entered in race with Packard,
 Peerless, Lancia and Hispano Suiza
 Amaury Munos drove the Super Six lie won in 51 minutes, IT and 3-5 sec
 onds The Fiat was second in 54 min
 utes and 20 seconds.
 |. With the same dip of the Den that Gen. Lechuga used to scribble his check
 for s20,000 he wrote an order for a
 Hudson Super Six.

 difference of opinion won't be opposed to the packer of Hudson Super Six.

 For several years on the opening day of the trout season, motorists have raced from Big Bear Lake after catch ing the limit, into Los Angeles, where prizes have been given for the first to arrive.
 Going to the lake the night before the opening, Durant and his party early secured their limit the next morning and started down the winding noun tain trail over the famous Rim O the World" route to San Francisco, which lies in a valley 5000 feet below.
 In the race this year there were six other cars, all officially checked out and entered for the run to the city hall. The Chevrolet out-distanced all competitors and won the 1917 trout trophy race"

concerns of the city, it's growth has been remarkably rapid and today it IS one of the most prominent in the state. They have completely outgrown thelr present quarters at 247 First street and have made arrangements whereby they have secured the considerably larger and much finer quarters at 321 North Central avenue, which have previously been occupied by McArthur Bros.
 The present Ferguson n-Keeler com pany was started last September under the name of The Oldsmobile of Arizona by W. E. Ferguson. Ferguson is an old automobile man. He started in the au- tomobile game back in 1904 in Los An geles and is well known both through California and Arizona In the early days he did considerable racing but his big race now is in sales speed rather of OldsmObile Flights one sees gliding along the streets of Phoenix and the roads of Arizona is a fitting tribute to good car and hustler.
 Ferguson came to Phoenix to locate in the automobile business because he thinks this is the greatest country in the world. When he had the oppor- tunity to make a contract for the state distribution of the Oldsmobile Eight and the Mack and Saurer trucks he lost no time in signing it. At the time, however, good locations were scarce and deliveries were doubtful but Fer gusOn was not to be daunted. He leased a salesroom and service shop at PAT North First street but for a long time he had no cars and it loohed as though he never would get.an Fin ally through much coaXing, pleading and threatening he induced the factory to drive two cars for demonstrating purposes to Chicago from Lansing and ship them from Chicago. At that time the factory was unable to get any cars at Lansing.
 The minute the demonstrators ar rived and ArizOnians saw them, Fergu- son began to get orders for the new OldsmObile Eight and he was sending them in so fast that the factory had to get the cars to him.
 Almost from the start L. S. Keeer became associated with Ferguson. keeler was formerly Los Angeles man. ager of the mechanical rubber goods department of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company and is probably one of the best known men in that line on the coast

BUSINESS GROWTH HAS BEEN STEADY;
 ADDITION NEEDED

So rapid has been the growth of business for the Auto Supply com pany, located al 506 North Central avenue, that it's present quarters have been found inadequate. As re- suit, an addition equally as large as the present salesroom, is being con- structed adjoining the present loca- tion on the north.
 With the completion of the new ad- dition. the company will be able to carry much larger stock than at present. Because of cramped quarters 1t has been impossible to keep a suf- ficient stock on hand to supply the demand
 It is expected that the new addi- tion will be finished and re1dy for occupancy by the latter part of the present month or early in June. A much larger and more complete stock will be added as soon as the com pany occupies it's new home.

HEARD ON MOTOR ROW

The only hardship to be worked on Phoenix auto dealers as a result of the declaration of war and it's ulti- mate effects will be difficulty in se- curing sufficient number of ma chimes to supply the local demand. This, at least, is the opinion of many dealers who have made a careful study and canvass of the situation.
 When war was first declared there was noticeable tightening of the market here but with the passing ef time and the scare has gradually
 worked off. As a result, conditions at present are equally as good, if not better than before the war declaration. The demand for pleasure cars now is unprecedented in the history of the city. Dealers report sales far in ex-
 cess of those at corresponding times
 Tn other years. This is pleasing in-
 deed to the dealers. who, while not
 pesslmstic as to the future, were
 doubtful as to the effects and hard ships the war might work on the business.
 The demand for motor trucks in 1 Phoenix and the surrounding territory has never been so great as at present
 it was announced yesterday. The de- | il,
 of the local dealers being weeks be- hind in their deliveries. Incidentally
 it is not generally believed that the
 war will have such ravishing effects
 on the truck business as previously
 prophecised It was previously an
 nounced that the government would
 commander practically the entire
 truck output of the largest producers but such procedure is not probable un ' less the administration determines to
 put large army in France.

FIGHT GRAIN RUST

OTTAWA, Ont.-W. P. Fraser, M A.. professor of biology a- Macdonald college, has been appointed by the minister of agriculture to conduct a special investigation on grain rust at the recently erected field laboratories at Brandon and Indian Head. The average annual loss from thi cause throughout tine world is. 100 million dollars, but in years of epidemic it goes as high as 2S0 millions in Cana da and the United States alone.
 Professor Fraser. who is a Canadian is graduate of Cornell and Dal- housie and is recognized as one of the best qualified authorities on rust.

Probably no other city of equal size in the country can boast of the activity and progress of it's automobile concerns as can Phoenix and notable among those is the OldsmObile of Arizona, or rather The Ferguson-Keeler company as it will be known from now on.

McArthur Bros, local agents for the Packard, Dodge and other popular ma chimes, are now located in their beau tiful new home on South Central ave- nue. While the home is not yet en- tirely completed all business of the company is now being conducted from that location. The formal opening will not be celebrated for some time to come, however.
 The Borderland Motor company re- ports business the past week the best since the company was organized. Each week, a steady increase in the number of machines sold has been mo- ticed. This is exceedingly gratifying to the managers.

of the finest showrooms and most com plete and efficient service departments in Arizona.
 Service, by the way. is a very i'm portant factor in the success of any business according to Ferguson and both he and Keeler are strong service advocates. In speaking of this, Fergu- son went on to say that from the start he and Keeler had agreed that no one would ever have an opportunity to complain of the service they received. Couple this with a good product and good advertising and your success is assured" says Ferguson. We are con- Vinced that the Oldsmobile Eight is the greatest automobile value ever offered to the American public. But we know that they are not going to know this unless We tell them about it and show them. Therefore we use as much dis play space in the local papers as we can and it is bringing results. People read about the wonderful things we say about the Oldsmobile. They be- come interested and come in to see the car. Then we get them out for a ride and nine times out of ten when we do this the result is an order Then we back this up with service. We guaran- tee the Oldsmobile for one year from date of purchase and live years free service which we believe to be the most liberal in the state. As a result we have made a host of friends and our Oldsmobile owners are big boosters '
 Big things are expected in the new location. The seven passenger Olds- mobile Eight and the Mack truck will be on display and can be delivered im- meGiately. Very soon too, they will have on display and be in shape to make immediate deliveries the Olds- mobile Light Six which it is expected will create the biggest stir of any car

Some Leaves Live Lono.

Evergreen trees do not retain their
leaves forever, but are SO called be-
cause the new leaves appear before
the old ones are shed. Miss Winnie A.
Pease has been studying the many
evergreens Of the Pacific Northwest
to ascertain how long the several spe-
cies retain their leaves. She finds a
wide variety, the shortest being the
California buckthorn, which sheds
some of its leaves in autumn and re-
tains the others only until those Of the
coming season are mature. The long
est is the short leaved yew, which re-
tains It's leaves for from five to twelve
years, some of them persisting for as
long as twenty-three years. Saplings
lose their leaves more quickly than
mature trees and trees In the open
more quickly than those in shady
places.

Ereas and Mud Forts.

There is frog indigenous to Brazil
which builds a regular mud fort dur
ing the breeding season in order to
protect her eggs and tadpoles. The
female frog dives to the bottom of the
water. scoops up two handfuls of mud
and repeats the process until she has
erected circular wall about one foot
In diameter. She keeps on till the
wall stands at least five inches above
the surface of the water. and the
whole is most carefully smoothed
down with her broad, webbed hands.
The work is performed only at night,
and when it is completed the eggs are
deposited.

duction of the eoconut trees numerous
marketable byproducts.
In the West Indies, Central and
South America the fruit is used chiefly
for local consumption, the water from
the green coconut being a beverage
decidedly cool and refreshing, with
medicinal values The leaves from the
center Of the top Of the tree make an
excellent salad and are to be found in
all Latin American markets In the
zones in which they grow. The hewn
tree serves the native for a habitation.
and roof is made from the gigantic
frOnds. From the smaller leaves ex-
celent hats of high grade are fash
ioned, but few of which reach this
country. From some localities ripened
nuts are exported in bulk in the holds
of ships, often as ballast, to this coun-
try, where few concerns are engaged
in grating coconut meat for the use
of confectioners and bakers.
In the West Indies housewives make

His Title Comes From the Old English
Use of Wooden Talles.
Formerly accounts were kept and
large sums Of money paid and received
by the kings exchequer in London, with
little other form than the exchange or
delivery Of tallies, pieces of wood notch
ed or scored, corresponding blocks be-
ing kept by the parties to the account
From this usage one Of the head off,
GERS Of the exchequer was called the
taller" or teller" These tallies were
often negotiable. Adam Smith In his
wealth Of Nations says that "in 1896
tallies had been at 40 and 80 and 90
per cent discount, and banknotes at 20
per cent"
The system Of tallies was discontinue
ed about $780, and the destruction in
the night Of Oct. 10, 1884, of the old
houses Of parliament is thought to have
been occasioned by the overheating of
the fues when the furnaces were en-
ployed to consume the tallies, rendered
useless by the alteration in the mode
Of keeping the exchequer accounts. An
account Of the ancient tally system was
written by William Hone.
