AUTOMOBILE MAKER WARNS
AGAINST SHORTAGE OF CARS
scarcity of Certain Materials Scri-
ously Threatens the Auto
Industry

Delay in production is certain in
practically all automobile plants
thruout the country this year. due to
several unusual conditions. the most
important of which is shortage of Ger.
tain materials"
This is the keynote of a statement
issued this week by George S. Waite,
sales manager of the Grant Motor
Car corporation, which adds:
The automobile buying public
does not realize in the slightest de-
gree the difficulties which will con-
front 1t when It decides to pur-
chase and take delivery of an auto
mobile in the spring. This year the
automobile it selects in the spring
is unlikely to be ready for delivery at
that time, due to the most unusual
and most threatening conditions that
have confronted the automobile in
dustry from the time of its inception
Everyone, of course, is generally
familiar with the fact that shortages
of material are constantly arising.
What they do not realize is that these
shortages are serious enough to ham
per greatly the efforts of all manu-
facturers This, coupled with disor-
ganized and congested railroad traffic

The Stmdeb0ker SIX
An Ev0Iui0m

The roadability, the easy riding qualities
of Studebakers are recognized by all eX-
perienced motorists.
Like the Packard and Pierce, the Stude-
baker retains it's graceful, arlstOcratlc
lines from year to year.
The manufacturing methods applied in
the production of the Studebaker Six
have been developed by four years con-
tinuous experience with single basic de-
sign. This fact alone has enabled Stude
baker to keep its price remarkably
low.
Last year the entire Studebaker output
was sold early in August. Late corners
were disappointed. This year, too, the
production is limited. Be wise-place
your order now.

Major Fred I. Wheeler, of the army engineers, has gone to Jacksonville to supervise the layout of the camp and the construc- tion work. It is not expected that it will be possible to begin the training much before the middle Or latter part of December
 Some 3,200 recently have been con- mlssioned in the quartermaster corps Of the national army, and most of them now are on duty at the thirty-seco division camps of the national guard and national army. They will be sent to the new training camp in classes of about 1,600 each. The camp also will be used for training the enlisted men of the quartermaster corps, of whom some 30,000 will be needed in the yari- ouS branches, such as motor truck companies, wagon and pack trains. bakery companies, etc.

SHIN FEN AGENT
 CAUGHT IN NET
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Nov. 9. - Channels through which Sim Fein leaders in Ireland have been communicating with their agents in the United States have been disclosed, secret service author ities believe, through the arrest Of Thomas Welsh, British subject, who waived examina tion today on a charge of violating the trading with the enemy act when arraigned before a United States commissioner
 That Welsh is identified with Sim Fein propaganda was learned from letter which he attempted to destroy when arrested according to an aSsis- tant United States district attorney. Welsh came to the United States aboard a seamship which arrived here Sunday, having shipped as member of it's crew. The letter Welsh sought to destroy has been rieced together and federal authorities say it contains val uable information relative to Sim Fein activities both in Ireland and the United States. According to William J. Flynn, chief of the secret service the communication mentions General Liam MelloWesf" Sim Fein leader who was arrested here October 20, and Pas rick McCarton, an associate of Mel loves who was taken off a ship at Halifax N. S., at about the same time
 According to Chief Flynn, the infor- nation resulting from Welsh.s arrest will be of great value to authorities in- Vestlgating Sim Fein plots, lon the other side,'' as well as those tracing the supposed connection of a number of American residents with these in trigues.

are going to prove 1t. If you doubt this invite your attendance at the hearing next Friday before the intestate com merce commission and l dare you to question the accuracy of a solitary statement of fact that will be offered nn behalf of the national organizations of livestock shippers, grain shippers and the independent oil men of the United States who are fighting this advance. These organizations have an aggregate membership of over a mil lion shippers. They are entitled to a respectful hearing before as tribunal Sct subjected to pressure or outside influences. Unless you can substan- tiate these statements on the witness stand, under cross examination, your statements are not entitled to the con- fidence either of this commission or of the American people.
 Representative railroad securities as & class have declined in value at a less rate than those of industrials public utilities or even bonds of the United States government The de- cline in security values is. not due to Inadequate railroad credit or inade- quats railroad earnings; it is due to he war. You must know that fact to be true
 This great human catastrophe, that is paralyzing so many manufacturing and industrial enterprises not directly connected with the making of war mu- nitions. has entirely failed to injure our railroads, for the record, when completed, will show that the railroads during the past two years, while this great struggle has been waging, have rrospered better than during any other year since the steam engine was in- vented.

Food authorities unite in declaring that there will be no flour shortage in New York or in any other part of the country. The Food Administration Grain Corporation has taken over here S0,000 barrels of flour from a shipment of 1S0.000 consigned to Norway, and will take 100, 900 more if necessary.
 The seized flour has been turned over to a produce exchange commit tee, which will distribute it to job bers without profit or commission. IL is worth about S950,000 and is ap- proximately enough to supply New York city for three days.
 It may not be necessary to seize any more, as within the last day CT two receipts have risen to 10000 to 15.000 barrels over consumption. Rich ard A. Claybrook, president of ttlo

MARVELLOUS ARE DATES BROUGHT
 OUT THIS YAER

Date culture for the Salt River val lev promises to be a coming industry Tor this section of the country, accord irg to L. 4. Beck who is interested in raising this lucious fruit at the old eX- pertinent farm, on the Glendale road.
 While date culture is only in it's ex p<rimental stage, according to MT. Beck. he sees no reaso nwhy the pro- iuction of choice dates, far superior to the imported brands, should not be raised in the Salt River Valley. MT Beck has made an exhaustive study of date culture and may be termed an sxpert on the subject.
 The choicest dates grown on the far mare called the Itema date and brings the highest market price. There are only two other trees of this variety A the United StaNs, one at Mecca, California, and the other at Yuma.
 There Is one tree. now in bearing at the old experiment farm which is esti mated to have on it 1000 pounds of fr1iit which is now being harvested and incubated ready for market. These are the black, or Amarillo dates. These dates for several weeks are of 8 deep maroon color, but as they ripen they ret deep black.
 . Many of the trees at the farm are |, Arabia and Sepoy, India. Up until recently there were three varieties at the farm which were supposed to be distinct and separate, the Sevah, Wa hsi and Bedneagago, but Professor Mullen, who was sent to Arabia by the government, discovered that they were one and the same, and he classed them All under the name of Siaede. The sstes have been carried around to the different oases by the Arabians.
 The study of date culture is a very Interesting one, indeed, as outlined by Mir. Beck. Trees begin to bear when they are seven years old, if they have reared from what is known as the suckers, or shoots from off the parent tree. The male trees bear male suck CTS and the female trees bear female suckers. Trees will grow from the seed also. but they do not come into bearing until nine years of age. There are over 150 varieties of dates now growing at the old experimental sta- ton. They have seedlings that are bred true to the parent tree
 It is impossible to tell the male from the female tree until the flower ap- pears

ing and in the constant placing of ad- ditionaI tax burdens of all kinds and character aggregating hundreds and even thousands of millions of dollars upon the American people. would it not be wise to be sure of your ground before recommending an additional tax equivalent to five per cent on another billion dollars to be paid by the ship pers of this country?
 Before reaching conclusions 1t would be well for you, as well as other public officials, to learn to wait until you have heard both sides"
 In a statement tonight commenting on the ThOrne letter, Comptroller Will Hams declared his statement was is sued in the interest of the national banks
 Our national banks which are un- der the supervision of this office, he said, are large holders of high grade railroad bonds which have declined greatly in value My statement was intended to give encouragement and to prevent the unnecessary sacrifice of such securities, believing as I did that the interests of our railroads would be safeguarded and protected and that they would be permitted to charge such rates for transportation as would, with good management, enable them to earn a fair return upon the capital invested in them.
 MT. Williams asserted that 1t was only necessary to refer to the stock quota tfon list to see the "absurdity and error' of Mir. Thornes assertion that railroad securities as a class have de- clined at less rate than government bonds.
 Shrinkage in railroad stock values, the comptroller said, had amounted in the shares of dozen principal systems to nearly one billion dollars, or ap- proximately as much as the entire bonded indebtedness of the United States amounted to last spring He compared the decline in government bonds, 2s from 10012 to 97; 3s of 1918, from 102 to 99; As from 1121a to 105 and 3s of 1861 from 103 to S5, with the following declines in railroad stocks during the last year:
 St. Paul, 102 to 37; Baltimore and Ohio, 96 to 50; New York Central 114 to 65; Erie, 43 to 13; Pennsylvania, 12O to 94; New HavenS77 to 21; Nor felk and Western. IT to 100: Delaware and Hudson, 1S6 to 95; and Union Pacific, 153 to 1OS.
