A Splendid Rain.

A good rain fell here Friday night,
and again Sunday, in all amounting to
probably nearly 115 inches. 1t came
steadily but slowly most of the time
and was great benefit to the wheat.
Hardly any rain had fallen for SO days
prior to this and the wheat was in need
OF moisture but probably not suffering
to any extent. With few days Of sun
shine the wheat will get into good shape
for the winter.

.HUPP SHIPPING RECORD
GREATEST IN HISTORY
Notwithstanding Car Shortage
Tremendous Number of
Cars Are Moved.

BY standing an almost unbelievably
increased expense on account or the
freight car shortage and material
market which reached its most acute
point in January and February, the
Hupp Motor Car corporation sue
ceeded in producing and shipping
more cars this year than even during
the record breaking winter months of
1916, according to u statement just
made by G. ID. Hastings. vice-psesi-
dent and general manager OF the cor
poration.
'As | view the motor car situation
at present IL is one of Isoduction and
shipping" said Mr.. Hastings. Even
with our increased production, orders
for immediate shipment have piled
up on us and the month of March
finds us with orders for nearly two
thousand cars for immediate delivery.
These orders we are filling as fast as
production and freight car situation
Will allow. but each day finds orders
piling up still more. The breaking up
of winter weather will aid us greatly
in getting machines to the distribut-
ing points. as they can be driven over
land in greater numbers. The open
ing OF lake traffic next month Will
also be OF great benefit
The material market continues to
be a source of trouble. From the
tine the European war was we'll un-
der way the prices of practically all
materials used in making motor cars
as well as all other manufactured ar
tic:es, have been constantly on the An
crease. At first this condition was re-
reived with much concern by those
in the industry. but after several
rapid advances in the prices Of food
suffs, textiles metals and all man
ufacturing materials, the whole situ-
alton was taken more as a matter Of
course. AS a matter of fact, during
the last winter prices of parts and
materials like most necessities have
increased more often than before. al
tho not as much has been said about
the advance of raw materials as about
the increasing costs OF food and cloth
| ing. This was because price increases
became a regularity rather than a
novelty in manufacturing lines.
The redeeming feature of the sit
uation, however is the big demand
for cars from all over the United
States. Our orders do not come from
any particular section or sections, but
are distributed well over the entire
country. This fact shows n healthy
condition of business in general and
our own in particular

President Wilson often hurries from
the White House to the office OF soms
member OF his cabinet or to that OF
some bureau chief, and goes in un-
eXpectedly or on very short notice.
He does this because It Is more eco
nomical OF time than more formal

ony of his busy days.

still rising. Forty-four au-
