SIZING UP THE 0RlENTALS S
Chinese Arc shrewd Traders and Most
Able Spectators.

Samuel G. Blythe has been studying
the orientals, and he tells us, In the
Saturday Evening Post, that the Chi
nese are shrewd traders, excellent mer-
chants, rigid In the observance Of the
terms of any bargain they make,
whether for or against themselves;
artistic In their own way, and artists,
too; fearless sailors, able spectators;
keen for money. but generous and
overwhelmingly hospitable; quickly
humorous, and philosophically humor-
GUS, also; friendly, helpful to one an
other. and, in the bulk. facing and
fighting great poverty with calm and
resignation. They are sentimental and
poetical in their real nature; fond of
bright colors, birds and flowers; child
ishly vain; but extraordinarily able In
many directions.
Their theory Of business is that It is
a contest OF wits; that the buyer must
beware, and a business man who car

HORSE IS STILL
NEEDED FOR WAR
Europe Has Imported Animals
From America Valued
at $26O,000,00O.

Nearly a million horses and NOR,
than quarter OF n million mules /;
the export record OF the United State.
In the "a months since the beginninl
OF the war. a compilation by the Ma.
tional City bank of New York made
on receipt of the reports of the grear
mortality among American horses in
the war zone. shows that the number
OF horses exported from the bcginnine
or August, 1914 to the present time
Is in round numbers $4,000. and OF
mules 100000. The stated value of the
horses exported was $l94 ,00O,0 900, and
of the mules sG6, 100000.
The fact that this is mot cavalry
war" and that automobiles motor
cycles, flying machines and observa-
tlon balloons are performing much of
the service formerly required of the
horse in war time. does not seem TO
have checked the demand for Ameri-
can saddle and draught animals. In
the first year of the war the number
of horses and mules sent out of the
country was, in round numbers. 375,-
900; in the second year, 100000, and
In the third year which ends with
next month will approximate four hun
dred and fifty thousand. For the
fiscal year ending with the month of
June, 1915. which is nearly Identical
with the first war year, the number
of horses exported was 2S9,3fO; in
the next year 357,553, and in the nine
months of the present fiscal year,
226,S39 suggested that the total for
the fiscal year which ends with this
month will approximate three hun
dred thousand. This suggests a slight
decline.
The number of mules exported In
the fiscal year ending with June, 1915,
was 65,7SS; in the next year 11l,915,
ana In the year which ends with the
present month. will approximate one
hundred and sixty thousand In the
single month of March of the current
year, the numbe. OF mules exported
was 14,1S6. against 1882 in the same
month of last year, and for the nine
months ending with March. 122664.
against SS,2S9 in the same period of
last year.
The demands of the war do not
seemed 10 nave caused any material
advance in the prices at which the
horses aud mules have been exported.
average export valuation of the horses
was, in the firs. year OF the war, 1921
per head; in the second year. s205,
and in the third year, s214 per head.
The average export price of the mules
was, in the first year. s193: in the
second year, s205. and in tho third
year of the war, s2O6 Per head. Nor
does the expectation of n million
horses seem to have much affect upon
the prices at home.
1t is not surprising that the coun-
tries at war find it necessary to draw
upon the United States for horses,
since we have over four -fifths of the
one hundred million horses Of the
world, and far more than any other
single country except Russia, which
has about thirty million, against about
twenty-five million in the United
States

AUTOMOBILE SALES FORCES
HOLDING RETAIL CONTEST
Wilys-Ovcrland Dealers Waeing Coun-
try-Widc Competition for
Prizes

The greatest retail sales contest
ever waged in American industrial
| history is now taking place in WHY'S
overland sales organizations thruout
the United States.
! Before the contest is concluded,
some time in August II is thot that
nearly every one of the five thousand
WHY'S Overland dealers and distribu-
tors in this country will take part
As prize for winners will be given
n free trip to the home factory, where
program has been scheduled for
early in September that will rival that
of the mammoth dealers convention
held in Toledo last winter, when more
than eight thousand and six hundred
guests were entertained.
Puts Over Big Things.
John n. WHY'S, president of the
WHY'S Overland company, and his
aides have long been known for their
faculty of putting over big things in
n big way, whether of business or
of an entertainment nature, as witness
the annual baseball field days, when
worlds championship baseball teams
were brought to Toledo to play before
the employees of the WHY'S Overland
company; the gigantic circus party or
last year, when Mr.. WHY'S bought out
the biggest circus in the world for
three days and entertained his en-
ployes and their families ana the
dealers convention. The John N.
WHY'S retail sales congress-as the
winners in the present contest Is to be
officially styled-will be in the same
class with these events.
Contest Divided.
The contest has been divided into
three separate divisions, with appro-
pirate prizes in each.
The first section will be for sales
men in distributors organizations, the
leading salesman at each branch or
distributing point for the period from
May 10 to August Is winrins the free
trip to Toledo.
The second section will be for deal
ers who are their own salesmen. The
limited States has been divided into
seven districts and from each OF these
districts the ten leaders will be given
trips to the home factory.
The third division will be for sales
men in dealers organizations. The
ten leaders in this class in the seven
districts will also be sent to the Toledo
factory as guests of Willys-OVerlanu'
Inc. for the weeks program.
The contest is being run as an elec-
ton, the ballots being the cars that
are sold by each contestant. The cars
vary in the number of points in ac-
cordance with their value.

BATTERY RENTED BY GARAGE
Buyer of "EIcctric" Relieved of On
necessary Investment.

The Fashion Automobile station,
Inc, of Chicago, ILL.,, which is al
so an agency for electric automob biles,
has developed battery rental anc
exchange plan In connection with the
sale of new cars.
Under this plan the new electric
minus the battery Is sold for sl,4S5.
The battery for the car Is then rented
for fifteen dollars per month plus one
dollar per battery change. The cars
are equipped with specially desiynea
battery rack so that the battery may
he changed in two and five-tenths
minutes, or in less time than it takes
to fill a gasoline tank Changes can
be made at any of the five stauons
strategically located in Chicago ana
its suburbs.
This plan supplies the user with un-
limited mileage from a standard pat
tery;it assures him that his battery
will always be under expert care and,
If he is out of the city, it permits
him to eliminate battery costs ana
depreciation during periods longer
than a month.
The electric vehicle section, Ma
tional Electric Light association, Is
advised that this method saves the
Ccustomer about 20 per cent. on his
original investment and relieves"elec-
trio" driving of all uncertainties, and
that similar plan with electric
trucks has been used successfully in
Hartford. Conn, for over three years.
