Most Potent Factor

Strange that there are business
firms here and there-and we have
some of them in this city-who can
not see the value in advertising, says
the Caruthersville Democrat. They
have before them the example of
smaller concerns that are forging
ahead rapidly by reason Of carrying
goods that people want and then tell
ing their customers, actual and pros
pective, about it. They see the ex-
ample of the big mail order houses
who are ever on the alert for busi-
ness by introducing their literature
into every possible home and making
show of having very attractive
bargains at as little or slightly less
prices than the home merchant. Yet
they seem to figure that advertising
is just big hoaX-an expenditure Of
money that is not warranted by the
returns it brings. They seem to think
that the world will make a path to
their doors simply because they are in
business and have something to SELL
and if it is not very broad or we'll
travelled path, apparently it makes
little difference to them.
1t might be they could not stand
prosperity, even were it to come to
them. 1t might be they have not the
ability to handle large business even
should they succeed in building one
and knowing their own deficiencies,
are wary of doing the thing which
would thrust greatness upon them.
1t may be that the trade which is
attracted to the town by the live
business man who can see the value
of publicity and who is not afraid to
invest a part of his gross proceeds
therein furnishes them sufficient pat
ronage as the crumbs which drop from
the table Of more well-to-do brother
to satisfy them that all is well. What
ever may be the reason, they continue
to tread the paths of unprogressive-
ness and always are to be classed
with that big percentage of stagnant
humanity who are satisfied to let well
enough alone. Possibly, by reason Of
an especially fortunate business loca-
ton or a particularly pleasing per-
sonality which attracts people their
way, or by reason of being especially
close buyers and traders, they may
/ nave a IdlIIy .SOOu IOlOWllS anu a
fairly prosperous business. If so,
how much better would their follow
ing be and how much more rapid
their progress could they imbibe some
of the principles of modern merchan-
dising and advertise the fact that they
are Of the class of up-to-date citizens
and progressive business men who de-
sire not to deal with a chosen few but
wish to come into contact with all
their fellow men for the good they
may mutually experience?
Advertising is the tonic which is
necessary to the life and well being
of any modern business. True, some
may continue to exist indefinitely
without it, but with the judicious and
unstinted use of printers ink they can
we'll be changed from dull, anaemic
affairs into live, healthy, hustling or
CARNATIONS for which no proprietor
will ever feel it necessary to make
apology and who will never be forced
| to camplain about the dullness of the
season nor the leanness Of his profits,
for the latter, while they may be small
in individual instances, will aggregate
much by reason of heavy sales.

Ed STAN, who The Times last week
stated had gone to st. Louis to be
operated on for appendicitis, failed to
have the operation performed there,
as he would not consent to the use of
ether or other narcotics, and the sur
geons he interviewed did not want to
attempt the operation without giving
him something of that nature. He
returned home, but left Tuesday
morning in company with his brother,
John, for Kansas City, where he was
directed to surgeon who would per-
form the operation without admins
tering drugs.

Another Chance
to Do Your BIT"

On Monday evening, September 8,
the Navy League is to receive one
half of the proceeds of the picture
show, when Marguerite Clark will ap-
pear in Francis Hodgson Burnett's
charming romance, "The Pretty Sister
of JOSE" This is one of Miss Clark's
greatest screen triumphs, and with
Jack Pickford as Jose, a strong sup
porting company, and the scenic en-
vironment of California with it's wealth
of color and romance as background,
she has. given US an unusual and pic
turesque photo-play.
The Navy League is taking this
means of keeping many busy I,nitters
supplied with wool, so that the men of
our fleet may be supplied with warm
garments during the severe winter of
the Northern seas. There will be no
change in the price of admission.

Preparing for
Greater Activity

The members of the Executive Com
mittee of the Pennington Chapter of
the American Red Cross, and all others
who may desire to do so, will go to
Bismarck and organize a branch OF
that society there next Monday night,
Branches will perhaps also be or
ganized at an early date at Doe Run,
Libertyville and Knob Lick.
The Pennington Chapter has re-
Gently received its first shipment of
material to be prepared for use in
the army, consisting of pajamas,
gowns for convalescents, hospital
gowns, etc. These garments will be
distributed out between the four units
of the Red Cross Society in this city,
whose work it will be to put them to-
gether and prepare them for shipment
to the front. Sewing headquarters
have been established in room 10 at
the High School building.

make it possible for the recruiting oftlcefs to go to the COW punchers. according to word received by Man ager H. fl. Hotchkiss of the Overland Arizona company.
 Accordingly, an Overland S5-4 was turned over to John H. Gallup, first lieutenant and adjutant, third squad : ron cavalary, Colorado National Guard, and he set out to get the men. The result was even better than anticipated. In his report, Lieut.. Gallup said: We enlisted 32 splen- did men, practically all of whom were riding COW punchers."
 In submitting his report, Lieut. Gallup did not hesitate to pay tri- Dute to the Overland car
 We had to go places that were all but impossible for an automobile to reach,' he wrote, "in order to get in touch with these men. At times we went through sand that was up to the hubs of the wheels, while at others we went straight across the toughest kind of prairie. At all times we found the Overland car able to deliver the goods and it was chiefly due to this fact that we succeeded as we did.
 T further wish to state that the service we had from everyone of the Overland stations was all that could be desired No matter how small the town, there was always an Overland service station and every need was promptly and efficiently met"

HARMON AUTO PUT THROUGH
 SEVERE TEST

Motoring home at the conclusion of the school year, making the trip from New York to Los Angeles, was the ex- perience of the two sons o. w. NJ. Gar land prominent real estate dealer in Los Angeles Calf. The young men had been attending school in the east, and together with their father drove home in the latter's new Marmon 34. according to information received by Manager O'Neill, of the O'Neill Auto company, local Marmon agents.
 The National Old Trails route by way of Pittsburg, Columbus Ohio, St Louis and Kansas City was chosen for the trip, which was made in eighteen days, and the greatest days mileage was made between Kansas City and Dodge City, Kan, distance of 3S9 miles. This stretch was covered in thirteen hours, and over roads that were in fair condition
 The trip was during the rainy sea son in the mountain section, and it naturally followed that muddy roads were occasionally to be expected" said MT. Garland. This condition only slowed us up little, however, and at no time on the trip were we in any trouble"

DRIVING BY
 WOMEN NOT
 MERELY FAD

The ever increasing number of Wo- men drivers of gasoline motor cars is by no means the result of d fad in the opinion Of H H. Hotchl<iss, local Willys- overland dealer. On the con trary, he says that it is bat the natural result of a quickening spirit of respon- 4sibility and independence and conse- uuent desire on the part of women to extend their ability in practical and useful fields.
 The militaristic trend of the nation, so many men having joined the army and navy, has also encouraged many women, through necessity. to learn to drive their cars, he points out
 "Oncc a woman has learned to drive her car" says MT Hotchkiss, it is very, very infrequent that she gives it up. Like most useful arts, the driving of an automobile brings unexpected de- 1 lights. There is latent fascination for most every man or woman in mechan- ics and when one realizes the easy mastery of a machine wherein a power equal to 90 or more horses is waiting flor ones command the sensation is just as enjoyable for women as for members of the other sex"
 Mir. Hotchkiss then refers to the me- chanical improvements in the modern car which have made it possible to | operate one with practically on tech nical understanding of its makeup He cites the Willys- Overland products as examples of this and says:
 l With the new Willys- Overland pro- | ducts, driving has been made as nearly automatic as possible. The starting switch is just below the drivers heel; control buttons are on the steering wheel, always at ones finger tips; the l gasoline and spark lever are on the | steering wheel, in the most convenient position imaginable, and the gear shift is in the center immediately under the right hand.
 Tn fact, everything is ideally ar ranged in the most natural and com fortable position. The car is so accu- rately balanced and the steering gear so perfected that one does not have to
 be continually saving back and forth
 on the steering wheel. The cars ten
 dency is to go ahead, straight as an
 arrow, with only a touch of the hand necessary to turn it in any direction.
 For this reason-the ease of opera
 tion-the Willys- Overland cars are among the most popular makes of auto mobiles, in the view point of women

and engineers could be concentrated

and engineers could be concentrated on the qualities of style
 Changes in the Twin Six motor are refinements of detail. The full pow CT, smooth action and economical performance of the twin six have established the 12-cylinder engine in the favor of the motoring public. In the new series, the channeling of the gas passages in the cylinder head has been improved, to insure an ever better distribution of fuel to the cylinders and thus to attain to even more marked economy, especially in handling low gravity gasoline. The new motor is notable for it's clean design
 The control has been simplified. A clean steering column is achieved by
 removal of the control board and placing of ignition. lighting and fuel mixture controls in a convenient set ting on the instrument board. The gear shift lever is in the central posi- ton. The wheelbase of the 3-35 is
 136 inches and that of the 3-25 is ! 12S inches
 The new car is equipped with 1 springs of semi -elliptical pattern ! These springs are wide and long 1 leafed, assuring, in association with ! the smoothly uniform action of the ] 12-cylinder engine, a most luxuri- { ous riding quality.
 As has always been the practice of
 the Packard company, special atten- | tion has been given to the bodies.
 There are seventeen different body ] styles in the new line, each of them
 suited to a purpose and expressive of
 the best taste in the coachbuilder' s
 art.
 All bodies are roomy and comfort able The open cars are upholstered
 in straight grain, hand-buffed leath- i CT, plaited. Interiors Of enclosed car i riages are tailored in soft textures,
 patterns of which may be selected ] from a wide variety of weaves. Lus- 1 trous finish and perfect appoint
 ments give the final touch of ele
 gapce to the new series cars.

FISK BOYS CLUB HAS TWENTY-FIVE
 THOUSAND IN LIST

Although the riding season is by no means over, more than twenty five thousand boys are now enrolled as members of the Fisk Bicycle Clubs fostered by the Fisk Rubber company of Chicopee Falls, Mass, according to Manager w. R. Johnson. of the Fisk branch here.
 These bicycle clubs exist in every state in the United States and also can be found in Canada, Porto Rico, Cuba, Hawaii Island, Philippines and in various other countries. The mem bers are furnished free with hats, handle bar pennants, membership buttons, steamers and signal flags. In the Fisk Club Manual which is

sent to the boys every effort is made to show them how to obtain the greatest amount of fun from their bicycles and other out door sports.
 The Fisk club chief who is at the head of the national organization is located at Chicopee Falls Mass, and the members report to him regularly of their club runs and other activi- ties.
 It is expected that several thous- and more boys will become members of this organization before the riding season is over.

IA NEW PRECAUT|ON
 AGAINST AUTO THIEVES
TEe,ublican A. 2. Leasc- Wlrel

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept S.-Secret marking of automobiles as guard against thefts has been decided upon in completing a system of identification in California. The plan is to be put into effect as soon as the details can be worked out
 August Vollmer chief of police of Berkeley, has been appointed chair man of a committee to carry on the work by the state bureau of identifi- cation for automobiles.
 The proposed plan is for each auto mobile owner to register a secret mark on his car with the state bureau. This

low effect is strikingly apparent.


 The top of the higher narrower radiator breaks crisply into the bev elled shoulders familiar in Packard radiator design. The free flowing bevols, merging gradually into the cap holding of the car A form-fi ting windshield intersects at a smart angle.
 First cars of the new series will be shown soon by McArthur Broth CTS, local Packard dealers. Each of these first cars has been finished in derby red. Those who have seen a typical car of the new line speak of it as a new creation.
 It is stated that the practical per fection of the Twin Six motor, dem Cnstrated in the service of 1S,00O owners, has a bearing on the new lines; for with engine perfection se- cure the talent of Packard designers

training which the men of the national army will receive.
 When the Arizona men arrive at Camp Funston there will be a recep- tion committee awaiting them, but it will be business like one Already the men from each state have been as signed to regiments. and when the men step from the train they will respond to their names which have been sent on ahead
 Then comes the receipt of clothing and ordnance of which there is ample at Camp Funston. In a brief while the men from Arizona will be in sol dier uniform which it is expected they twill not abOndon for long time There will come another physical eXamina- tion to make certain that no unquali- fled men have in some manner been included in the first contingent It the officer decides that any of the men are wearing hair too long, there will come trip to the barber. With the intensive training the men will receive at Camp Funston it is ex- pected that within one month from the , time of their arrival at the camp the l. new men will be fairly well drilled in { the simpler tactics and formations. 2 The officers estimate that the men of the national army, on account of their superior intelligence and general quail fications, will learn the duties of a soldier almost four times as fast as the ordinary regular army soldier in time of peace.

is not to be compulsory, but it is ex- pected those complying with the ar engagement will profit by reduced in surance against theft Police authorities in all California towns and cities will be provided with copies of the secret mark register Be- cause of the secret marks detectives believe that it will be virtually inn possible for thieves to disguise stolen automobiles so that they cannot be identified.
