 Car Here

If someone told you that $119,e72 worth of automobiles had been sold in the ter ritory of a Birmingham automobile con- .cern during the past week would you believe it?
 It is fact. The orders have been seen, not contracts-real signed orders for automobiles, to be delivered not later than August 1. R. c. Lees, president of the Overland Motor Car company, is now on his way to Toledo to Sit up'' with the factory heads until they show symptoms of getting some of them on cars tagged to Birmingham.
 MT. Lees, accompanied by c. H. Brooks, factory representative of the Willys- Overland company of Toledo, made a trip over 8 counties composing the ter ritory of the Overland Motor Car com pany of Birmingham, and as a result he had $1000O0 worth of business
 Send this man 8 check for $150, deposit made on car, and cancel his contract as a dealer; we can't use a dealer who won't buy car until a man walks into the place and says he wants car," said President Lees as The Age Herald auto man walked into his office Saturday

Mobile automobile peddlers are keen to have every automobile, garage and &C., cessory man come take a dip in their natural bath tub, and they state em- thatically that the meanest of motor oils and gaseous odors will yield to the briny waters of their bay, and the fish will be safe. They are preparing for a great time, which they are going to pass around among the boys. and their one fond hope is that every man who has ever had anything to do with the automobile in- dustry will be on hand.
 Secretary Fields letter to local dealers follows:
 The association will hold it's next regular meeting at Mobile Ala, on July 9th, 10th and 11th, at which time not only every member is requested to be present, but special invitation is extended to every automobile and accessory dealer and garage owner in the state of Alabama. We want them all present on this occasion if pos sible.
 The local Automobile Dealers as- sociation of Mobile are making exten- sive plans for a grand reception on this occasion and have arranged programme of entertainment which will make this 8 meeting long to be remembered with pleasure.
 Every dealer throughout the state should make arrangements to attend. A cordial invitation is extended you by the present members of this as- sociation and we can assure you of

 Harry Lauder tells the following story about a funeral in Glasgow and a well dressed stranger who took seat in one of the mourning coaches. The other three occupants of the carriage were rat:>ar curious to know who he was, and at last one of them began to question him. The dialogue went like this:
 Yell be brither of the corp?"
 NO, I'm no a brither O the corp"
 ''Weel, yell be his cousin?"
 No, I'm no a cousin"
 "At any rate yell be frien' O the ccrp?"

Income Tax Payments
 Go Beyond Estimates

Washington, June 23.-Income tax payments so far have surpassed the highest figures - s335,000,0 1000 - upon which officials based their estimates when the law was amended last Sep tember. Receipts today show total of $3373S5,777 for the fiscal year. h. dications are that the total receipts for the year will reach $345,000,000.
 With week to go before the fiscal year closes. receipts from that source are pouring into the treasury at the rate of nearly s2000,000 a day. The bulk of the income tax, however, was paid during the last month.
 These receipts and other increased revenues have advanced the total re- ceipts from ordinary taxation for the fiscal year up to s1,079, ,23S, 9a5, a new record, and more than s400, 1000, 900 over the amount received this time last year
