PRosPE ERTiY.

Although the country has been al- most universally credited with the enjoyment of great prosperity during the past year or so, it requires no ex- haustiye investigation of the actual conditions to disclose that much of the alleged prosperity is to a great extent fictitious.
 It is true that our export trade bal ances are overwhelmingly in favor of thls country and that millions on millions of gold have been poured into the banks and subtreasuries. but taking 1t on the whole, mighty littl, of this tremendous flood of treasure has found is way into the pockets of the generality.
 In other words it is not real pros- perity in the degree that it does not touch the great mass of the people. z The munitions makers have made vast fortunes: numerous producers and dealers in iron and leather and textile manufactures have grown rich supplying the war demands of Europe but it cannot be said with verity that the American people as a whole have reaped any particular ben- eft. Such prosperity looks very well on the balance sheets and in the hrt ,t not place an additional loaf on the table of the major portion of the Am erican homes or provide an extra pair of shoes for the thousands of kiddies throughout the nation. there is a very serious doubt as 10 its genuineness.
 Another thing which also has great hearing on the question of whether ST not we are really enjoying pros perity lies in the permenancy or non permanency of the conditions on which our supposed prosperity Is built. Real national prosperity is generally founded upon stable, or near stable, conditions. No merely transitory access of commerce or business can bring prosperity to more than few persons unless continued over long period of time-in which event it can hardly be termed transi- tory.
 Real prosperity, the prosperity which fills the dinner pails of the toiling masses, is founded on stable things-not on such things as war munitions and the general disorgani-

zation of international strife. Condi- tions may develop from such things which in outward appearances might be suggestive of great prosperity but unless the bulk of the people receive a benefit therefrom there IS no real national prosperity.
 It must be admitted that the al- legged prosperity of the United States is built almost entirely upon the mu- nitions trade with Europe and will inevitably end with the close of the war. And, if it should end tomorrow, what then would become of our wide- ly advertised prosperity? A few per- sons would be richer but the great bulk of the people would be not one whit better off than they were before even though this so-called prosperity has endured two long years.
 Prosperity based upon such evane- scent things is not real prosperity any more than the house is strong that is builded upon shifting sands No matter If it be builded of steel or granite it Is still no stronger than it's foundations and will inevitably crumble and break and finally fall, if it's foundations give.
 Outside of those engaged in indus tries contributing directly to the war needs of the European belligerents, very few people m the United States have seen so much as a farthing's worth of this supposed prosperity. On the contrary, the rank and file of the to endure all variety of hardships and to scrimp and save as they have times of greatest stress when business was at a standstll and panic was abroad in the land, have the masses of the country been compelled to endure as much as they have dur ing this alleged period of unprece- dented prosperity.
 The war may have brought prosper ity all right but it is prosperity for the few and has brought in it's train a variety of ills from which the Am erican people never suffered before.
 A prosperity which brings bread riotsand the narrowing sight of thou sands of women fighting their way through the sleet covered, wintry streets to invoke the assistance of the government to shield them and their little ones from the gaunt spec ter of hunger stalking before their doors is not real prosperity but only a counterfeit resemblance.

Threaded Rubber Keeps A.
Battery Long On JOB

Discussing the new battery
equipped with threaded rubber insu-
lation, which was recently announced
by the Willard Storage Battery COM
pany, after having been in use on
$4,000 cars for over two years, Elmer
Rosengren, the Willard representative
in this city, told an interesting story
of the performance of one of these
batteries in South America.
"We recently got word from the
home Office" said Mr.. Rosengren,
"that Willard battery with thread
ed rubber insulation was sold in
Georgetown, British Guiana, where
the extreme heat usually limits the
life OF wood separator batteries to a
year or less. This battery went into
service the frs: OF October, 1915.
About August Of this year the
dealer who sold the car wrote in to
the Willard factory to say that after
twenty-five months of hard service
the threaded rubber insulation bat
terry was still on the job.
During all this time it has been
given only a few minutes attention
a week--that is. filled with distilled
water and specific gravity taken with
the hydrometer. Climatic conditions
made frequent filling with water
necessary.
Merely as a matter OF precaution,
the owner had the battery taken off,
washed out with clean water and re-
filed, and the battery went back into
service good apparently for another
long period of active work."

War Tank Aids Army
Recruiting Officers

Recruiting officers in the Chicago
district have been assisted materially
in their efforts during the last few
weeks by a specially constructed
armored car of the tank species. The
tank, a formidable looking object
with heavy guns mounted in genuine
wartime fashion, an American flag
flying from the top and a recruiting
banner on the rear, has attracted in
terest to such an extent that streets
are often blockaded when it pauses
TOR moment on corner. The
pauses are frequent, incidentally, for
the tank is used by recruiting officers
as platform from which addresses
are delivered. The tank is built over
a Dodge Brothers motor car, the en-
tire outfit having been placed at the
disposal OF the government officers by
the Dashiell Motor company. Dodge
Brothers dealers in Chicago. Through
an arrangement just made by the De-
troit factory, the same tank will ap-
pear in many other leading cities of
the country where recruiting for vari-
GUS branches of the service is still in
progress.

He WHO RUNS MAY READ

Advertising manager hits on novel
plan to attract motorists.
He who has lots of pep" will cas-
lily earn his salt.
Even the postage stamp can be
licked It you do the, job behind its

Those who pay cash seldom owe

Some people never crack anything,
not even smile.

Is nothing but hot air.
Many a good physician goes from

Early to bed, early to rise, and you

day on the bulletin boards in front
of the National Refining company's
White Rose Gasoline service stations,
here in this city.
Motorists as we'll as pedestrians
look each day to see what will be

The idea was originated by Charles

All Batteries Need
Proper Attention

Summer usage is not any rest cure
for batteries" says R. c. Smith of
the Delco-Exide service station. The
batteries in most cars have beer
working mighty hard all summer with
very little attention. During the
height of the motoring season it i:
not likely that many cars have spent
much time in the garage; consequently
hundreds of batteries have been for
gotten and will be until they show
signs of trouble.
"Cold mornings will soon be COM
ing on. This will require more power
from the battery to start the car,
This demand for additional power will
be too much for batteries that have
been neglected all summer and repair
bills will be the result. However, ii
is not yet too late to guard against
these repair bills in many cases if the
much needed attention is given the
batteries now"

Packard Closed Models
Are Very DiStingue

The approach OF autumn is heralded
to the fnotorist not so much by the
turning OF foliage to rich colors, as
by the chillish wind that calls for
wraps on the evenings ride, which
has become an Institution with him.
And he thinks of the enclosed car.
In the third series line OF Packard
Twin Skies there are ten styles OF
enclosed carriages.
Women who have learned to pre-
side at the steering wheel show a
marked fondness for the modish
coupe on the shorter chassis, Pro-
fessional men, especially physicians,
also like the coupe. II
The transportation demands OF
formal and informal social usage are
met by the limousine, imperial limou-
sine--the imperial has fully enclosed
drivers compartment--and the Ian
dauIet.
The brougham for seven passengers
combines the roominess of the large
capacity car with the friendly atmo-
sphere OF the car for smaller parties
and permits the owner-driver to be
coi1panionably one Of the party. There
is no partition and there are indi-
vidual front seats with an aisle be-
tween.
A very smart carriage. new to the
Packard line, is the brougham for six.
The top is somewhat lower than
other enclosed cars and is the very
latest style in straight-linc roof ef-
fects.
The landaulet is the choice of many
who desire in one vehicle the advan-
tages of an open car and an enclosed
carriage. The adjustable rear quarter
of the landaulet may be thrown open
in pleasant weather.
All types Of, Packard enclosed cars,
except coupe and six-passenger
brougham, may be had in two lengths
of wheelbase.

PRICE OF MARMON
UP FIVE HUNDRED
Factory Announces Big Raise
Because of the Increase
in Cost of All Ma.
terial. H.

Announcement has recently been
made by the Nordyke & Marmon
company of an advance of $500 in the
price Of all models.
This advance will take effect al
most immediately" asserts H. Pei
ton. Marmon distributor. "We have
a load of Marmons on the road now,
which were purchased at the old price,
and OF course we shall allow purchas-
ers the advantage of the present prices
on these, tut after that Marmons cost
$500 more. :
There is very little we can say re-
garding the advance in price except
that it was necessary in order to
maintain the present quality Of Mar
mon products. Nearly everyone who
is interested in the purchase Of mo-
tor car is familiar with the material
situation. Prices have advanced more
than 800 per cent on some articles
and il is a tribute to American manu-
facturers to keep prices as low as they
have"

Horse Is Fast Giving
WAY to Motor Vehicle

"The other day l had occasion to
drop in OH fair-sized town in the IN
terror part of the state that ! had

wagon and the bakery van from the

automobile were the only vehicles to

Look for Heavy Sales
Of StronnhnId Tires

Announcement was made last week
by the Rubber Products company Of
barbertown o., to the effect that it
mad signed a contract with the Con-
sumers Refining company of Omaha
for the distribution of Stronghold
tires.
The Consumers Refining company
is expected to make an excellent
showing in the matter of sales owing
to the completeness of its orgarliza-
ton in this territory. Most every
garage in this section handles one or
more OF the products of the Consum-
ers Refining company and if Strong
hold tires can be introduced from all
these stations a sales record of a
startling nature will be Forthcoming.
