mean.
The automobile Is the cheapest and
most practical. most reliable and uni
versal form Of transportation that has
yet come into existence. It Is no long.
er the so-calied luxury It a positive
necessity.
For instance. as In the everyday
conduct OF business, Il would be Inn
possible to conduct today even mod
ern warfare without the aid Of motor
cars and trucks.
Many opinions nave been vontured
as to the purchase OF automobiles. and
without venturlng any further opinion.
we will give you round facts and
figures as comparison OF business be-
fore and since the war in Canada, a
country that has been IN the state OF
war for three years. has suffered from
all kinds OF taxation and enllstments
and whose business the third year Of
the war has more than doubled-the
year before the war was declared with
approximately S3,723.125 spent for
automobiles IN Canada and the third
year OF the war. or 1916, SS,9189lO
spent for automobiles.
The prime reason for this increase
Is the thing that we want 10 bring
to your attention very forcibly. The
masses Of people that have heretofore
not been considered prospects, be-
cause OF the fact that their earning
power was not sufficient, because OF
The high price OF labor and the posi-
bilities OF making profits out Of this,
that and the other kind OF business
have become prospects and are pur-
chasing automobiles.
The war. instead OF injuring Can
ada, has strengthened Il financially.
commercially. and industrially. There
Is scarcely anything more extraordin.
airy IN the country's history than the
development which has taken place in
Canada since early IN 1915.
Added to a foreign indebtedness OF
some S3.000000.0OO evolving annual
interest charges OF approximately
Sl35,000,000. there was when war
broke out an adverse trade balance
of nearly SfS2.OO0.O0O. or total OF
S3l7.0O0.OO0 against Canada.
Within "a year and a haff, or by
March 81. 1915. this adverse trade
balance Of s1s2Oo0O 900 had been mira
culously transformed into a favorable
balance OF 1924 600. 900.
Every possible effort has been made
to have Canadians save % help win

This meant that it was time for
their prayer, which they always said
IN each others arms, there, before
the great fire. So Sally slipped to
the floor, and they folded their hands
each In the other. And, after "Our

simple, but not less a prayer; for in
the five years of Seffy's absence it
had passed into a formula.

He heard her pass through the hall

TOSTAND
TRIAL
Accused Physician Pleads Not
Guilty; City Attorney Says
He Will Act to Prevent Girl
Being Spirited Away

AS far as City Attorney Arthur NJ.

made to spirit from the territory, to
prevent her appearing as a witness.
the woman mentioned in the indict-
ment charging DR.. H. Homer Hayes
with the performance Of a criminal
operation, according to a statement
made by him today.
Il will certainly take steps to pre-
vent it if such an attempt is made"
the city attorney adds.
Doctor Hayes entered a plea of not
guilty in Circuit Judge Heens court
this morning. City Attorney A. VI.
Brown called the case. but immediate
ly withdrew, his place as prosecutor
being taken by Cornell S. Franklin,
deputy attorney general.
Attorney Franklin asked the court
how soon the case could go to trial,
whether in January or February. The
court replied it could give no definite
answer as there are large number
of cases now awaiting trial, having
piled up because of the lack of funds
for jury trials.
Il would like to have the court and
prosecution understand that We are
ready for trial at any time-withip
"a hours if necessary" said Attorney
Leon NJ. Straus, counsel for Doctor
Hayes.
The case was placed on the calendar
to be set for trial Doctor Hayes has
been released on bond in the sum OF
$500. The sureties are William AHA,
T. All Pong and David F. Motley.
