MAKE IT PRACTICAL.

The organization of the horsemen into an association to look to their mutual benefits. and to protect their own interests, and to lend their influ- Aenee to the elevation and re-estahlsh- ment of the racing game in America, is a very laudable undertaking. The horsemen will be encouraged in their ambitions to the extent that they merit endorsement and encourage ment. Instead of acting individually now, they act together. and as a unit they have a very great po er--a power much akin 10 that of great labor organizations.
 The horsemen might well profit by the long experience of labor organiza- tions, and might have full and com. plete understandiugs which might prevent criticism in the future For instance, a labor organization has a stipulated scale of prices, conditions, etc, and that is ablded by for a cer. tain length of time. New conditions arise. and new stipulations are made for the new conditions S,t they are not jumped-up demand of the mo ment
 The horsemen have q great power within their organization for the good of the sport, or for it's disruption We believe that the horsemen want racing elevated in this country to the respect that II enjoys in other coun tries. The horsemen can contribute more than any others to this end and here is hoping they will take all steps slowly, carefully, with delib eration. and always be right so the, may merit tho approval Of public sen timent

AN IMITATION OR
THE REAL THING

The Buick reputation. attained
after fourteen seasons of success
fully stricking to the one great en-
gineering principle-"V alve-in-Head-
Motor" perhaps made it the
most popular car in America, in its
class.
This is being proven beyond a
doubt each day by attempted emu
lation and imitation on the part of
competitors. Many times do they
say, "This feature is the same as
Buick" This car has just as much
power as Buick" This part is made
in the same factory that makes the
similar Buick part" etc.
If the name Buick implies abso-
lutte correctness in design; complete
efficiency and accuracy in manufac-
turing methods; in other words, if
Buick involves the one real standard
which so many others are trying to
initiate, then why not, in all fair
ness to yourself, buy the REAL
THING and not AN IMITATION?
H. r. Kuglelr is the Buick agent
in Abilene. DIV
