versally Stunned on account of his
moroseness, conceived violent hatred
for Johnson after the smashing of his
shebeen. In his distorted brain he
evolved the scheme for getting a man
to make sure of putting Johnson out
of the way. He put his suggestion
before a number of bootleggers all
through the country by letter, boldly
detailing his plans and asking for
financial assistance. Several of them
were believed to have complied, for
the $4,000 was duly collected An
amusing, though grim, feature of this
scheme was that when deputy who
somewhat resembled Johnson was shot
and killed in mistake for him, the
money was actually paid over, and
half of it had been squandered on
wild orgy of dissipation before the
mistake was discovered
However. one of the bootleggers to
whom Lincoln wrote, happened to be
under heavy obligations to one OF

the conspiracy. Johnson was to be fol-

WARNS AGAINST
FALSE ECONOMY
Paige President Points Out
Place of Automobile as a
Universal Utility.

The war has conferred attention
on the automobile for two different

troit Motor Car CO. Military men,
and laymen 10 some extent. If they
have followed the great conflict
closely have observed what vital
part the motorized vehicle is play
ing in the struggle abroad. The
motor car has been given credit and
this fact, although not completely
realized and appreciated, is no
longer news.
But since we have had 10 con-
slider finances in relation 10 the war
and ways and means for raising or
saving money, certain people have
turned the spotlight on the motor
car from a different ANGLIA false
angle Lacking information or
superficial in their reasoning, they
have questioned the motor car as a
commodity necessary for our daily
affairs at this time.
These false reasoners have even
suggested that the automobile IS a
luxury and can be spared; that it
would be we'll for the country at
this time if its manufacture We're
curtailed and the money involved in
making it, buying it and operating
it were turned into more useful
channels.
Faulty Reasoning.
such peculiar reasoning shows
how little these false economists
understand the place the automobile
now occupies. II was from the very
first a utility and as great a neces-
sity as the telephone. The fact that
60 percent of all cars manufactured

The salesman, the contractor.
the builder, the plumber, the doc

thousand and one occupations use
their cars for business, for errands
and unitarian purposes. while the
banker, if you told him his car was
merely a luxury would reply that it
carries him back and forth from
business, is used for shopping by his
family and runs all the household
errands.
Statistics are not needed to prove
the utility of the motor car. Just a
little straight thinking shows up the
fallacy of the argument that the in

tioh, who has just returned from the

Germans, but because of their desire
TO repay To the United States the
debt they feel they owe to this coun-
try
American flags were flown every
where, according to Mr.. Cook, and
patriotism ran high. The entire
government was heartily IN favor OF
following the action OF the United
States, as well as the large majority
OF the citizens.
Cuba will be particularly valuable
as an ally, said Mr.. Cook. not so
much for the number OF fighting men
she can furnish, but for the excel

large amount Of foodstuffs which can
be raised there.
No better means of reuniting> the
Cuban people could have been chosen,
said Mr.. Cook, who feels that the
people are already unanimous IN their
feeling toward the United States and
their desire TO assist this nation.
