commander the automobile factories for war materials except as last re- sort. Our government Is so situated that it may not have to take the fac-
 tories off of automobile production at 1 all. Recent reports show that the United | States has about six times more auto- mobiles than all the other parts of the
 globe put together. In January 1916, New York was the only state recorded
 with O0,OO0 cars. Now there are sev-
 en states so recorded. The first six
 months of 1917 saw an increase of 700,- l 900 automobiles in the United States alone.
 'NThese figures will give you an idea l of the importance of the automobile
 in our own country. This increase, too,
 at a. time when our country faced war
 and when our people were serious in all their investments.
 If the automobile serves well dur | ing the war, how much more will be its demand with the rebuilding from the effects of the war. On the scenes of | battle there will be fields to prepare again for habitation, towns to be re- built, railroads to be made; in fact, | land that has been practically made waste land will have to be reclaimed. l Tractors. trucks and touring cars for l transportation of workingmen will | be needed in quantities. The for eign automobile factories are pracu- cally all engaged in the manufacture Of war materials. The need for autono- l hiics will be so urgent that the United 1 States u.th automobile factories ready and able to manufacture without any l delay, VII be expected to fill this need. | There will be other demands, too, l for material of all kinds to be sent
 abroad, and with g. true American spir- | it, our own business is to be kept pros
 porous during the war and after-more l business.

DEMAND FUR MOTOR CARS ON INCREASE
 SAYS AUTO DEALER

Another evidence of the ever-grow- ing demand for motor cars is evident in an authoritative statement to the effect that in spite of it's huge produc- ion, Willys-O Overland, Inc, of Toledo, was unable to ship during October all the Overland and Willys- Knight cars which were sold at retail that month.
 with a small production, such a situation might have but little signifi- cance," said MT. Hotchkiss, local Will lys- s-Overland distributor. 'rBut, when one considers that Willys- Overland Inc, is one of the largest automobile producers in the world, with produc- tion running into thousands of cars each month, one cannot dispute the fact that there is a tremendous call for cars.
 Tn the case of Willys- Overland sales it is true that many of the October buyers were what is known as re peat" buyers. They had previously owned our cars and were buying new models. Nevertheless, I venture to say that a close scrutiny of the sales re- ports would reveal an amazing number

lecture the steady growth of the auto mobile industry.
 "The world wide importance of the United States in the production of automobiles is not realized by Ameri- cans," says Mir. Keeler of the Fergu- son. -KeeIer Co.,, local distributors of Oldsmobiles.
 ''To carry on the war. all govern ments have found the automobile of inestimabIe value. During the wars continuation, automobile manufactur- CTS will be called upon for machines for various uses. In the transporta- tion of troops, ammunition. supplies and in the ambulance and hospital service, the automobile stands without an equal,

of new owners-purchaserS who had never before owned cars.
 And, from the standpoint of the automobile dealer the latter is the most encouraging feature of the busi- ness. It marks a general awakening of the public to the utility advantages of the motor vehicle. The vast majority of purchasers nowadays are not buying cars simply because they expect to get pleasure out of them. On the other

hand, they are buying them for eco- homie reasons.
 "One man gets car because it will prove big time saver-give him more working hours each day. Another gets one at the advice of his physician SO that he can have an hours recrea- tien each day without disturbing his office routine. And still another buys Q car so that he can economize on liv- ing expenses-move out in the suburbs

FEW BIRDS SING IN AUGUST
Absence of Music From Natures
Feathered Creatures.

Once upon a time when we had
something to say about August we
spoke on it as natures silent month,
remarks the Terre Haute Star. AL
most instantly we were reproved by
readers who said that in August the
locusts and some dozens CT their kin
made the month noisy, It not musical.
Confessedly, when we wrote of Au-
gust as the silent month, we were
thinking Of birds, not bugs.
The song sparrow, the red-eyed
vireo and sometimes the nvenbird try
to take from August its value as a
synonym for silence, but of what ac-
count Is the music of three when their
thousand fellows refuse to sing?
/ August is the molting month and
molting is painful process. The
birds do not feel like singing, and,
mostly, they do not sing, but it is high
ly probable that they would not, even
If nature We're not insisting on a
change Of feathers. The reason is that
the season is late. Housekeeping was
pushed forward because roofs were
likely to leak.
August, however, for its main part,
will hold its silent record. 1t is the
midseason and 1t shows forth together
some Of the beauties of summer and
of fall. The belated rose blossoms
with the early aster and the goldenrod
stands between. August has neither
the full glory Of burning July nor Of
cool September, but it shares in some
small part Of the glories Of each.

CANNED GOODS
TO BE CHEAPER
Food Administration Hopeful of
Good Effect of License
System.
RETAILERS MUST Obey RULES
Those Charging More Than the Food
Administration Regards 3rst
Will Find Supplies
Cut Off,

Washington, Nov. 2.-An immediate
drop in prices on canned vegetables
was predicted by the food administra-
lion as result of putting into opera
ton the license system for wholesale
dealers. Many canned goods, it was
said, were bought by dealers at low
prices last spring ard can be sold at
less than the present market prices.
Dealers charging more than a reason
able profit are liable to forfeiture of
their licenses to do business.
Retailers will be controlled to an
extent also through the operation of
the licensing system. Those charging
more than the food administration re-
CARDS just will find their SUPPLIES cut
OF In orders to wholesalers to cease
supplying them with goods.
Must Take Out License.
The food administration warned
dealers who have not applied for IL
cense blanks that they will be charged
with violations of the food law if they
continue to sell goods.
More than 100000 American wom-
en- are now voluntary members of the
food administration and have pledged
themselves to follow its directions as
to food conservation. This number,
the food administration announced. at
the end of the fourth day of its inten-
sfve pledge campaign, will be doubled
by complete returns from all the
states.
Reports came from So states and
showed 100000 signatures as a result
Of the days work. The aim for the
entire week is 100000.
Michigan Now in Lead.
Michigan leads the states, with a
total of $4,000 cards signed; Califor-
MIA Is second, with 132 900. and New
Jersey third, with 10000 In New
York city, for which returns are tabu-
lated separately from the state. $4,000
cards have been signed.
The Norwegian government, denied
permission to export a large quantity
Of sugar purchased here, has turned
over the entire stock to the food ad-
ministration for distribution to deal
ers. The sugar was sold to the gov
ernment at actual cost, which is con-
siderahly less than the present mar
ket value.
