TO the present time, there has been no
well-detlned system Of marking such

system Of placing signs and as a result
many dangerous curves are either with

teaches us that if the above method Is

THE DEPENDABLE CHEVROLET.
POINTS To Be Corsidered in Selecting :
Car for Service.

CHOOSE a, car with the same care you
use in employing a man. When you
employ a person you ask for recon-
mendations. for statement that will
help to identify him. to be able to judge
his worth TO you.
"You cautiously investigate his rec
ord, his reputation with former en-
ployers, his relia billty in past perform
ance Of duty. You are particular about
MS appearance. If he gives you d bad
impression at first he may never have
another chance. You are anxious to Sc
cure the best man available for your
need.
Your car should be selected with the
same care..s In the beginning. however.
keep in mind that no single car is. the
only good car. No car Is the best in
the world There are many cars of ac-
knowledged Reliability ii make and
performance, and hence YOU should
judge car by the known reliability Of
the maker.
Seek a car built by company Of
acknowledged financial standing. In
uuire OF the extent Of its equipment, OF
the number and size Of its plants, of its
reputation. 1t is safe 20 assume that
only successful car can create large
andaeustained demand from the public.
Make up your mind 70 the fact that
a motor car represents the ideals Of the
manufacturer and its worth will be in
proportion to that ideal You should
seek a ear that has been sincerely built,
in which there is incorporated a high
mechanical standard.
Cover these same points in buying
an automobile. BE just as careful; be
thorough 1t pays. for your thor
oughness will help to gain a good idea
of automobile construction. And you
need this knowledge For once an
automobile owner, always an owner.
And with increased knowledge you will
better be able to judge values in the flu
ture.
Buy a well-t alanced car, car in
which equal attention has been given
to mechanical dependability and good
looks. But, in judging, let mechanical
dependability come first, for without II
you will he helpless"

Tendency on the part Of the motor
car builder to build attractive types Of
inclosed cars for year-round use as
well as the successful efforts of the
top builder to provide protection for
the Winter n1otorist. have made the
automobile industry Winter and
Summer proposition and made the ma
torist oblivious to weather conditions.
AS a result there Is no longer COM

many automobiles in use in Winter as

Break Up vs.. Broken Up.

In the past of the automobile bust
ness it was not an unusual custom for
makers to take cars out on the roads
to see how quickly they could break
them up. And it SO happened that the
men who drove them broke them up
right along. The round trip trans
continental run Of the Hudson Super
Six shows a reversal Of the old order
of things. Instead Of several cars. it
was one car and several men to drive
that one car. 1t we'll nigh broke these
men up to keep up with the Super-Six
which. instead of being broken UP, ar
rived at the end Of its two-way trip
across America in record time in alb
solutely perfect running condition.

LOGICAL CONCLUSION.

The claim is made the world over-and par t,cuarly in the United States-that the people of a country are the government. That is to say the peoples have the power and inalienable right to make and unmake laws. rules and regulations to govern their actions; and while law, rule or q regulation may not please Dick or Harry provided that 1t pleases the majority of the peo- ple the minority must be governed therey This is positively the sort of government we have n the United States: and in all the countries of the world when it comes down to real facts The peoples being unquestionably the government fight follows that they own all government build ings public utilities including warships and everything.
 When the war broke out, the peoples-the government through their agents. took every German ship in every harbor of the country. They asked TO permission but simply took them and are using them today. Those ships were the property Of another people, another govern ment But that didn't matter We, Is & Go. took them That was all there was 10 it. And apparently We had a right to. This leads Us to inquire Is government property less sacred than private property-or individual property? Is the sacred right in property less sacred because a loe of people are owners jointly? That is the question that has been bothering Us of late. Bothering Us. because We are vitally interested nasmuch as we have to pay our share of the great expense we are all put to by reason of the war
 Now, Is X Co-the people of the United States. the government through our agents, con- gress have decided to tax ourselves in order to defrar the expenses incurred in prosecuting the war While we are at war, anything that we can take from our enemies, we have a right to claim as our own. Now, we have enemies in our midst who own property; why not take it and re- feve ourselves Of some of the burden we are imposing on ourselves in the way of taxes? Why not They are our enemies no less than the people we are at war with in 9 foreign country.
 Of course precedents forbid but why should

we care for prscedents? Precedents have always respected neutraPs rights on the high seas. Likewise threaties have always been respected until the kaiser said: "Never mind treaties or neutrals' rights Go to it." From that day to this. with our enemies of today, no rights or treaties have been respected. Might has been the right.
 From that it would seem that the proper thing for our government to do IS to take the property of all our enemies in our midst and With the proceeds tighten the burden of those who are fighting for the country. They are no less the country's enemies than those we are going abroad to fight. They are worse if anything.

WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

An oldtimer in ketchikan remarked yester- day in speaking of the fire last Sunday that 1t was remarkable how the town escaped from dis astrous fire such as other towns have suffered. An explanation to the apparent fortunate results is not far fetched It is due to the fire boys, who when called upon go into the battle with all their might Action is what counts with them. They go into the fight with but one object in view, which is put out the fire" which is all there is to it. And backed by splendid water system i; they clear their way to their object. It's pity that appreciation is all the pay they get for their faithfulness to the community. However, that appreciation is in large quantity.
