PRICE 1T JEFFERY SIX WILL NUT CHANCE, REPORT

Although twenty-four manufacturers prices, the announcement comes from the Nash Motor company, who make the Jeffery Six" that the price will remain the same.
 Prices on all kinds of materials have advanced, which in conjunction with the proposed government war tax, will unquestionably force motor car prices to a still higher level,'' says H. F. Dove of McArthur Brothers, unless other manufacturers are situated like the Nash Motors company, who build their cars 93 per cent complete in their own factory and who also were fortunate to own large quantities of raw mate rials, having bought far in advance, so that present high prices have no bear ing on the finished product.
 '1t is a certainty that the Jeffery Six will have to be advanced after the stock of raw materials on hand at present have been exhausted, although McArthur Brothers will be in a position to make many deliveries before that time. Through arrangements made with the Nash Motors company, We can make immediate deliveries. which is exceptional right now in the automo- bile industry, as many factorles are unable to keep their dealers supplied owing to material shortage.
 tOne big point" continued Mir. Dove, that motor car buyers should inves- tigate, is the inherently balanced crank shaft of the Jeffery Six which is re- sponsible for the lack of vibration, no matter at what speed the car is going. Another Jeffery feature is the emergen- cV brake which on account of being located on the transmission, is positive in action, as demonstrated recently by Mrs Case Redewill on Papago hill.
 "The Jeffery Six since c. W. Nash, formerly president of the General Mo tors Co, took control of it's manufac- ture, has developed into a car that will make automobile history, unless 1 am mistaken, and I have been in the auto mobile business for number of years

All sports of the rangc. including bareback riding, steer bulldogging, relay races, COW pony express, etc, with good, substan- tal cash prizes will be offered each of the four days of the big celebration.
 The 1916 Frontier Days witnessed the largest assembly of cow men ever gathered together in the southwest. These men came principally from the ranges of Arizona New Mexico and Texas although many contestants were in the arena from eastern states. This wonderful celebration is becom- ing famous throughout the United States, as it his held in typical west ern town, which has ore of the best climates in the entire state of Arizona This feature alone attracts thousands of visitors yearly to the Mile High City of Arizona.
 Fair, open competition is the rule of the Frontier Days sports, with no faV- orites played, nor any one barred. Be- sides the Frontier Days features. which are held daily from to ?. m., band concerts, open air dancing and other attractions in an entertainment line are offered the public so that not one dull moment is had from the opening on July to the close on July ,. The management invites all contestants no matter where they hail from to par ticipate in these contests. Prize lists and rules can be had by addressing the secretary of the Frontier Days. Pres colt, Arizona. Contestants must re- member that here in Arizona where the terms Stay Cowbay!" and Let CT Buck" are not entirely dead, that there is ood chance to win considerable cash as well as many laurels, including the $75o diamond studded gold medal for the worlds championship broncho contest Remember the dates.

If the repair man catches q stone bruise when t has only broken the inside layer of fabric, he can readily repair it. But when the break begins to extend through four, five or six layers of fabric, it is gen. orally better to throw the casing away than to spend enough money to repair it.
 "So, if motorists would make it a I.ont to drive their cars up to their tire dealers store once every week they ,,..uld find that at teh end of the sea- son they not only had enjoyed their motoring better because they had less tire trouble On the road, but that they had saved a considerable amount of money ia comparison to their former tire e;Guipnlent.'

SAVE WAR TAXES BY
 AUTO TIRE ECONOMY

According to E. M. Fitch of Philadel- the motorist, by selecting his tire equipment and properly caring for it after he has it, can save a very ap- preciable amount, which will most probably be large enough to cover the average mans war taxes.
 This does not mean retrenchment"

Imagine a six foot two hundred
OF candy. Bill klnley NAV be the
size Of a man. but goodness knows he
has boys taste.
He went into the store of Jim
Pinapolis Sunday afternoon and
planked his two cents down on the
counter. A minute later he picked
up the candy jar and set It through
the plate glass window.
Bill said the glass jar jumped up
OH the counter and flew through the
window. 1t sure did and he helped it
along.
Fifteen dollars worth of glass went
all to smash and % cents worth of
candy went all over the street. OF
course there were no small boys
around. Just about a hundred.

Did he nun away. Oh no. But he
threw the sack away. He picked up
the coop, chickens and all. 1t was
very kind of the owner to leave the
fowls where he could get them with
out any trouble.
Charlie stumbled and a rooster in
the bunch made a fuss, A cop heard
1t. and thought he better investigate.
But before the cop got there Charlie
wrung the neck of the offending
rooster. Twas too late though.
Now that Mr.. Whitaker is away
there won't be any chicken on the
bill of fare at Occoquan for sixty

Ella wanted TO go out too. When
Hattie came home, the storm broke.
Hattie's head was almost broke too.
A broom handle got bent up.

u. 5. CAN MEET
CALL FOR Ships
Belief Prevails that TO-
213,344 Tons Can Be
Delivered in 1918.

The United States will prove equal
to the task set for her of building
enough ships to offset all submarine
losses for the next eight months or
year, and increase the present ton
, mage sufficiently to continue to send
munitions and supplies to Europe and
still have enough vessels left to trans
port the new national army.
This is the view of the situation
taken by officials Of the United States
Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet
Corporation. These officials are con-
fident that the 100000 tons of vessels
which the British controller of ship
ping states will be needed by next
spring will be forthcoming; further,
that this total may be exceeded by
several millions tons.
While fully cognizant of the great
responsibility devolving upon the
United States in carrying out its i'm
mense shipbuiIding program. officials
in charge of construction evidence little
uneasiness over their ability to de
liver the goods" on time.
Half Ready for Spring.
The present program calls for the
turning out of 10,212,344 deadweight
tons for the 1918 rogram. To this will
be added whatever proportion Of the
additional 5,SB,000 tons for which
Congress has been asked to ap-
propriate. can be completed by spring.
1t is believed that IL Congress acts
quickly. more than 100000 tons Of the
new program can be on the ways by
spring, and available for the trans
port Of troops and supplies.
The Shipping Board will have ready
within a few months Oo.2S5 tons of
German and Austrian ships seized in
American ports. This tonnage boosts
the program to 629, ,95 tons above the
British figure. All this tonnage may
be counted as new construction, since
most of the Austrian and German
vessels were put out of commission
before being turned over to this gov
ernment, and had to be largely re-
constructed.
II the British controller of ships in
tended only to count new tonnage
actually constructed, the United States
will fill the bill If the present program
Is carried out. None Of the officials
Of either the Shipping Board or
Emergency Fleet Corporation look for
delay of sufficient consequence to cut
down the tonnage to any appreciable
extent.
The United States now has PSI, ,S59
tons of merchant marine engaged in
foreign trade or available for such
service.
Official figures here for U-boat losses
since February /, when the ruthless
warfare was declared, are an average
OF $4,000 tons per month. The aver
age for the time prior to that was
$4,000 tons.
