"Saturation Point" Is Still Far from
Being Reached.

With the ever-growing number of auto

asked question again comes to the front
what is the saluration point? Though
production plans were made public by
the majority Of motor car manufacturers
some months ago, their magnitude did
not strike home to the public until within
the past thirty days, the time of the
two national automobile shows, New
York and Chicago. when they We're
driven home to those who either visited
one or both of these exhibitions
Fifteen years ago the total value of
the entire output of the factories was
less than $4,000, 900. Today there are any
number of concerns whose volume of
business will individually be in excess
OF this amount. Third in the line OF
American Industries is the position held
by the motor car.
Every day new uses and needs for the
motor car are found. Being founded
upon a purely human need, a means of
conveyance and of better living. it is

as yet been developed
In the beginning there were some who
were skeptical about the future of the
self-propelled vehicle that could go most
anywhere. Those were the days when
the manufacturing and selling OF cars
was called a game" and those who
dealth in them looked upon it with a certain
amount of skepticism. Today the best
of American brains is employed in their
production and sale. 1t has graduated
from the ungainly high-wheeI contrap-
ton to a thing of beauty with incredible
swiftness. They represent now the last
word in the designers art.
1t is predicted by some that the auto
mobile has reached the point OF per-
fection but the consensus of opinion
seems TO be that there is still room for
Improvement. Nothing in the way OF
radical changes is expected, but II Is
claimed that minor refinements will be
made from time to time as factory tests
show them to be practical. 1t must be
borne in mind that in the making of
changes those responsible for them are
always confronted with this condition.
Cars are built not for use in one par
ticular section of the country, where
climatic conditions can be figured on or
where roads are universally good or bad
but for distribution throughout the entire
world. What may work out we'll in one
locality may be all wrong somewhere
else. Also the cars are in a number of
instances going into the hands of people
who have no knowledge of machinery or
its care. hence they must be built as
near self-containing as possible

AUTO NOW RAILROAD RIVAL,

: 1t is now freely predicted that the auto
moile will in a short time cause the sban-
comment of most of the short railroad
branch lines.
The decline in the business of such lines
has been very great in the last few years,
all traceable to the increased use of motor
vehicles. As an instance it is stated that
the sale of railroad mileage books has
been reduced approximately 30 per cent
in the last three years.

has to live too. If the cost of his living jumps and

To my Friends and Fellow Citizens:
Since my nomination for the office
of Sheriff On the Republican ticket,
it has been my desire, in common
with the other candidates, to become
better acquainted with the citizen
ship of the county, and through the
acquaintance thus formed, to instill
a confidence, which might benefit my
candidacy.
My health, however, has not per
mitted me to act in accordance with
my wishes, and in obedience to the
orders of my physician, l am denied
the opportunity and the pleasure Of
personal contact and solicitation.
Under circumstances, am without
further personal advocacy, depending
upon the decision, already formed, of
the electorate and upon the judg-
ment of the voter in his definition
and selection of issues and men, and
| must cheerfully abide the result
To those who shall support me,
and contribute to my election, l ex-
tend my heartfelt thanks, with the
assurance that l shall commit no in
territorial act yiolative of their conf
dence.
To him who sees his duty other
wise, l again can but defer to his
judgment in definition and selection,
nevertheless, hoping that in the final
analysis, leading to his ultimate ac-
ton, the preponderance of merit may
be found existent within our camp.
With deep appreciation for the in
