THIS IS TIE YEAR


I'd AISE your hat to the Glad New Ycarl |
IL Raise your voice with a hopcful cheer
Make a VOW that while it STAYS
You'll make the most Of it's glorious DAVIS. /
What? That sort of resolve is old?
Sounds like a tale too often odd
You've made it every New Years doy. ,
Then frittered the live-long year away?
Well, s'posing you have? What's That TO do
With this particular year? It's new!
New, you crouch, not the same old kind ,
OF muddled up year you've left bchindl
New each day and each minute too!
New; each second is ~fresh-laid, newt ;
New for the things you've left %undoncl
New for the races you haven't runl
New for ambitions unachievedl
New for mistakes unretricvedl
New for unfinished efforts too!
New for the things you mean to do!
Never one day in it's bill of fare
Is like another day anywhere.
And if a year can be fresh and new
Why in the dickens can't you be too?
You can! So wash from your carc-stained face
Of memory's dirt the last small trace.
Put on Ambitions garments bright,
Light your cigar with the Futures light
And say to yourself: "The old years dead.
Bury it deep! Look right ahead!
Here's a New Year laid out for me,
AS full OF chances as it can be,
So out of my way and let me gol
It's up to NE, and by jingsl I'll showr'
Then startl And keep at It'll Hang on Stick!
You'll notice the difference mighty quick,
And you'll find, before It's halfway through,
Its the Happiest kind Of a year for you!

one can understand the broad, general
principles that underlie all battery
care. And the mar who reads II regu-
larly and takes advantage of the ad-
vice given there is in fair way to get
ting the most efficient use out OF his
battery.
"We men in the battery service sta
tions are very quick to notice any
change in the public sentiment toward
our product and the public attitude to-
ward the battery has changed great
deal during the last two years. /.
1T was only short time ago, conf
paratively speaking, that not one mo-
torist in thousand knew that distilled
water had to b. added to his battery
regularly. The average car owner
would LITERALLY run his battery to
death and then blame the battery.
"Very few motorists, indeed, even
knew what hydrometer syringe was,
let alone how to use it. All this has
changed to a great degree until today
the average car owner either owns a
hydrometer syringe himself or, if he
does not, goes to the service station
and has the battery expert use hy-
drometer syringe on his battery.

periority over the old type eight he
was warm in his praise. He said:
Advantages Of the Eight.
"The great advantages OF the eight,
its remarkable fexibility and smooth
power was in measure considerably
offset by the additional gas consump-
kon, lack of accessibility and diff
Guilty Of fabrication. The Jackson
engineers in their ambition to i'm
prove and perfect the eight worked
from the angle OF overcoming these
drawbacks and discovered that the
Valve-in-Head principle was the So
luton.
THAT their engineering analysis
was correct is attested by the tre-
mendous success now achieved by
Jackson cars in owners hands.
The Gas Consumption.
Gas consumption averages HJ
miles per gallon. Accessibility is won
derful. Everything is within easy
reach. The valves can be adjusted
in twelve minutes. Lubrication prob
lens have been mastered by an auto
matte arrangement working in con-
junction with the foot throttle. Thus

Grant Car Makes Periloqs
Journey in Sierra Storms

One of the most perilous journeys
ever made by an autobile was made
by a Grant Sin in crossing the Sierras
and going from San Francisco to
Lake Tahoe, according to reports re.
ceived by George S. Waite, general
sales manager of Grant Motor Car
corporation. Buffeted by terrific snow
storms, which held the driver up for
days at time, confronted at times
with the necessity of lowering the car
down a mountain side with ropes.
buried in drifts which reduced pro-
gress to one mile in IA hours, this
Grant Six finally emerged without
having made single repair and on
the original tires with original San
Francisco air in them.
The exploit was financed BY FIRE
Frank o. Renstrom Company, Grant
distributors III California. 1t took
two moths OF actual travelling. Scores
OF times the drivers of the car be-
lieved their last time had come. Prob
ably no more hazardous undertaking
was ever accomplished with an auto
mobile.

Fields Quits the Hupp and
Goes With Liberty Company

In announcing that Joseph E.
Fields has been appointed director of
sales of the Liberty Motor Car COM
pany, Percy Owen, president, again
brings to attention the intent noted
from the start to have in the Liberty
company men of experience and abil-
ity.
Mr.. Fields, who resigned as sales
manager Of the Hupp Motor Car COM
pany to accept the connection with
the Liberty Motor Car company, is
said to be one OF the big men in
motor sales organizations. He is
known throughout the northwest as
a salesman of big caliber. He entered
the automobile business nine years
ago as dealer. Afterward he trav-
eled the northwest as district man.

assistant sales manager of the Chal-

Travelling Recruiting
Office Calls Men to Col0rS

One of the familiar sights on Utah's
highways today is banner.bedecked
Jeffry six-passenger car which PHYS
through the rural districts and small
towns in search of fighting men for
Uncle Sam.
TIE recruiting car is in charge of
Sergeant Ben Cherakin and party
whose efforts have been very effec-
tive in swelling the total of Utah's
enlistments. The arrival OF the JET
frey recruiting car in small town or
mining camp is the signal for en-
thusiastic welcome and patriotic
demonstration.
The now, we'll known posters, "Un-
Gle Sam Wants YOU" and Columbia
Calls" are being distributed broad
cast throughout the country by the

Stewart Trucks
"In S Years No Stewart Has Worn Out"

-
Nationally known concerns such as the Bell
Telephone Company, Coco-Cola Company, Chi
cago Telephone Company, United States Tire
Company Firestone Tire Company, Atlas-Port-
land Cement Company, Standard Oil Company,
National Cash Register Company and many
others are users of Stewart trucks
There are many prominent users of Stewarts
owning fleets of from to IS trucks each. A
big share of our business is repeat orders.
Stewart Quality trucks are built by an or
ganization, devoting all their energies to truck
manufacture. Each Stewart is designed from
the ground up for truck service.
Stewart trucks are made in four models,
viz: "a ton, 1-ton, ton and 2-ton capacities.
Stewart trucks are simple to operate and
easy to care for. They enable the progressive
merchant to increase his range of business, and
give better service to his customers.

The local Jackson distributor is
enthusiastic because of his opportu-

new sales stimulus in this territory.
He says eights have always been
good sellers here and with the new
interest aroused by the Jackson
Valve-in-H Head featured in combina-
tion with eight-cylinder construction
the eight field has broadened out and
is attracting new buyers.
The local man adds that the Valve

The car owner who reads the cur

For the past Ave years the policy Of the
Stewart Motor Corporation has been to build
Quality trucks in quantities at small profit per
truck instead Of small number at large profit
per truck.
As result of this policy our orders last year
increased STA per cent. From present indica-
tions 1917 will even surpass last years figure.
The first Stewart trucks made by this Com
pany in 1912 are today giving entire satisfac-
ton to their owners. No Stewart has ever worn
out. Stewards are in service in over 400 cities
in the United States, Canada, South America,
Cuba and other foreign countries and are CIV
