New York, Aug. 80.-stocks fell

While the decline was at it's height
the financial district was agog with re-

as steels, coppers and oils.

The Cost of Production.
I'm reaching its conclusion the
committee has been aided by the
principles you have announced, that
a fair price should be based upon the
cost of production for the entire
country, plus a reasonable profit. We
for the crop of 1917 furnished by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, checked by the results Of our in
dependent Investigations and the evil
dence submitted to the committee of
producers and their representatives.
THE committee has considered the
regulations recently established by
the United States food administration
grain corporation for the different
transactions in whats.are to be stand
ardized to be entirely eliminated. AL
so that profits to the grain dealer,
miller and flour dealer have been reg
ulated and reduced by the grain cor
ppration. effecting a material reduc-
ton in the cost Of flour.
TN consideration of the foregoing
facts and circumstances. this commit
tee respectfully recommends that the

UPWARD MOVE
CORN PRICES IS
SEENINCHICAGO
Fair Demand for Cash
Wheat Developed-O Oats
Figures Strong.

Chicago, Aug. 80.-Corn prices
moved sharply upward toward the
close of the session, finishing near
the top. Throughout the session the
undertone was firm andaa midday de-
cline induced by weakness Of stocks
was quickly overcome. The close was
strong, 8-4c to lie higher. Oats fin
ished strong, 3-4o to 1 LIDO up, Sep
TENDER leading. Provisions showed
gains Of from S to IL cents, and cash
wheat prices advanced Be to 10c.
Local traders remained mostly on
the buying side of corn through the
day and the upward trend at the r1n-
ish was attributed to the strength OF
oats. A good cash demand with val
ues &c to &c higher also contributed
to the strength of corn futures. Ship
ping sales of $4,000 bushels were re-
corded.
Shorts covering their lines contrib
uted strength to oats figures through
the day. Country offerings were light
and there were notable sales to the
seaboard.
A fair demand developed for ASH
wheat and prices advanced on light
receipts. Traders awaiting announce
ment of the government wheat price
were inclined to believe that the fig
ure would be higher than was looked
for several days ago, when $2.1O was
regarded by some as a possible out
side price.
Liberal realizing sales OF provisions
did not disturb the upward trend OF
prices influenced by the advances In
the live hog market.

The locals won the game in the

but erratic fielding, bases on balls.
hit by pitched ball, a fielder's choice
and a sacrifice fly did the work.
After Risberg had been given a base

out. Risberg circled the base and
scored, but Umpire Dineen made him
go back to first and put the ball back

Tire Economy by Care
of Tires in Winter

Tire neglect in winter is respon-
sible frequently for absolutely un-
necessary purchases in springtime
and inasmuch as economy is now
foremost in the minds of all motor
lists, the millionaire as we'll as the
flivver owner, the B. Il. Goodrich
Rubber Company gives the following
suggestions for tire care during the
winter months:
Tires should be removed from
wheels and outsides of the castings
washed with soap and water to re-
move all traces of oil. Injuries
should be looked for; repairs made
if any are needed. The tires should
be laid flat in cool, dark room after
being wrapped in clean cloths Or
preferably black paper.
Tubes should be taken out of cas-
ings, slightly inflated and also laid
flat in a cool, dark place with no
weight on them.
IF the tires are not removed from
the wheels, jack up the car, leaving
only enough air in the castings to
keep the tire tight and in shape.
Cars should not be left for any con-
siderable period of time without
jacking up the wheels as the pro-
longed strain on the tires tend to
stretch them and develop weak
places in their structure.

Cadillac Convention of
Dealers Big Success

The greatest optimism over the
outlook for the coming years bust
ness was expressed by 102 Cadillac
distributors who attended the Deal
ers' convention held recently at De-
troit.
AS Sales Manager E. c. Howard
expressed it. 1T was very gratifying
to realize that not merely certain
sections of the country reflect this
condition, but that virtually every
distributor from the Pacific coast to
the Atlantic, and from Canada to the
Gulf, is looking forward to the big
gest year he has ever had.
And practically every distribu-
tor" he continued, had some con-
structive thoughts along the line of
efficiency, which could be profitably
used by the entire organization. This
interchange of ideas has given every
distributor something to think about,
and shown them ways in which they
can even more intensively cultivate
their territory"
At the banquet held during the
convention, r. II. Collins, president
of the Cadillac Company, delivered
a stirring talk on the Importance of
maintaining the quality for which che
Cadillac has always been noted, and
showed how, in the face of rising
costs, that there had never been the
slightest thought of saving money by
lowering the standards which have
prevailed during the entire fifteen
years of Cadillac history.
Theodore f. MacManus also de-
iivered a masterful address on the
power of insistent and consistent ad-
Vertising.

Taking Eighty Parts
From the Eight Motor

The Apperson Brothers have made
over the eight-cylinder gasoline mo-
tor. They have given another DEM
onstration of the Apperson efficiency
with which they have been accus-
toned to stir up the motoring world
every now and then for the past
twenty-five years.
This latest mechanical stride of
the Appersons is in the direction of
simplicity. Eighty parts have been
removed from the Apperson eight
cylinder motor.
This motor has already become
famous for its power, speed and
economy. Now it is faster. more
powerful, more economical than ever.
In addition, it is more dependable
than the best eight the Appersons
have ever built previously And APP
person dependability is a standard of
value in the motor industry.
The first question a motorist asks
upon being confronted with the
statement of eighty parts eliminated
is:
How do they do it?"
The answer is: BY one of those
strokes of genius by which every
worthwhile thing is accomplished.
In the new motor the Appersons
make one cam shaft do the work of
two. All sixteen cams are on the
single shaft.
This construction reduces the
number of cam gears to two. Rock
er arms and valve litter levers are
eliminated entirely.
The crank case is more rigid than
ever before. Cam shaft and cam
shaft bearings are exceptionally
large. These are in n degree details
But they are the kind of details that
are essential in increasing the lie
OF a. motor. The Apperson Broth
ers have never made changes merely
for the sake of doing things differ
entity. They have aimed at a GER
tain ideal and spared no effort nee
essary to reach it,
Among the other improvements
installed in the new eight is the
counter balanced crank-shaft. This
also increases the motor speed and
efficiency.
But the feature that stands out

Demand For TweIves
of Airplane Type

Throughout the country there has
been general increase in the de-
mand for twelve cylinder cars, since
the announcement that the famous
war airplaues are to be equipped
with the ''V" type motors. The air.
planes seems to be destined to play
very important part in the war,
and Americas airplanes will be the
means whereby American troops will
be so effective.
Airplanes are becoming very pop
ular with the American public. This
popularity is evidenced by the un-
usual interest being shown in con-
nection with the National twelve-cyl-
inder car which is equipped with an
airplane type motor. The National
factory has q long standing reputa-
ton for building high-power mo-
tors" said ]. A. Bentz, the local Ma
tional distributor. I'm early days
when automobile racing was done
with stock cars. National was a
consistent winner and acquired the
title of the World Stock Car Cham
pion. National was the first to put
a six-cylinder car on the market and
they were pioneers with twelve-cyl-
inder motor cars. The present day
National is built in both the six and
twelve models. Riding in the Ma
tional twelve cylinders is the nearest
approach can make to airplane rid
ing and still stay on the ground"
