Hudson Supersir Sh0Ws Glass ct State Fdlr ShoaU

Perhaps the best individual all around showing made by any stock car at the state fair was that of the Hudson super-six. Glen Breed, entered against three other high powered cars won the Australian pursuit race, and the ten mile free for all. while in the attempt to smash the track record on the one mile course. an accident pre- vented the Hudson super from lowering Barney Oldfield's mark, but not before it was demonstrated that the Hudson had the stuff, had it not been for the broken wheel.
 In the latter event the Hudson made the first half mile in 23 and 1-5 sec onds, when the front wheel broke and the car turned completely around on the track, backing through the fance. Demonstrating his pluck and grit the driver limped in with his Hudson and calmly requested that two new wheels be put on the car so that he might re- enter the competition
 It was after this accident that Breed went in and won the pursuit race.

BRINGS VALUABLE INFORMATION
 CLEANED IN TOUR TO AUTO|STS

MT. Gilbert made the long trip in a Chandler car, and got by with very little difficulty and an entirely enjoyable trip.
 The first lap of the journey was from Kansas City to Colorado Springs over the Golden Belt route, which MT. Gilbert says is the best road through Kansas at the present. time. From Colorado Springs the party took the "Pike's Peake to the Gulf" route, striking the Santa Fe trail at Pueblo, thence to Albuquerque and south by way of Springerville. They then came back to Holbrook and Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon.
 In the region the travellers were caught in a terrific cloudburst on the Death Valley flats
 The water was almost up to the carburetor," says MT. Gilbert, 'and we feared more than once that we would be stalled out there in the mid dle of the desert We encountered many bridges which had been washed out and the road generally in de- plorable condition
 The next span was from Flagstaff to Los Angeles, and back to Phoe- nix.
 The shortest way. and the best, to make the trip is via Ehrenburg, thinks MT. Gilbert, and the best way to get to the route is by way of Wickenburg instead of Buckeye. MT. Gilbert has taken home on

A STAGGERING OUTPUT

During the month of October the Ford Motor company made 79,675 cars In the last six months their production was 469,135 or at the rate of 93S,270 per annum. The estimated production for the year was placed at 900,O00, about 5000 per day, but there is small doubt that unless war conditions prevent that there will be more than one million Ford cars made within the Ford fiscal year August l, 1917 to August 1, 1918. Staggering as are these figures-this tremendous triumph of manufacturing possibilities, it is equally astonishing to know that demand is ever ahead of production, and that there has not been a day since August 1 last, that there has not been orders on hand for more than 100000 cars for im- mediate delivery,

NATURAL BASE FUR
 GOOD ROADS HERE
 SAYS AUTO DEALER

Easing his opinion upon thorough of road conditions and pos abilities throughout Arizona, gained from various tours which have cov- cred virtually every nook and cor ner of the state, E. P. Hughes, of the Leach motor company, believes Arizona's natural assets can best be exploited through the development of it's thoroughfares.
 "The thing that strikes me as a matter of prime importance is the natural base which the soil of Ari- Zona provides for the construction of good roads," says MT. Hughes, while in New Mexico, Texas. and California, the handicap of an adobe formation must and has been overcome at a greatly increased expense"
 MT. Hughes points out that an arti- ficial base is unnecessary most places in Arizona and that capping, com bined with the grading of the road to begin with, provides an excellent roadbed that would last for years.
 This. thing strikes one with pecul- jar force after seeing the wonders in road construction which have been accomplished in other sections,' says Mir. Hughes.
 Another thing which the local auto mobile dealer feels to be of particu-

motor cars made in America and the Ford Motor company produces bet ter than cwo-thirds of all the motor cars made in Detroit. So probably the greatest factor in the growth and general development of Detroit is the Ford Motor company. About the first question the visitor to De- troit asks is Where is the Ford?" 1S,445 visitors passed through the Ford factory during the month of October. Think of it. They come from every part of the civilized world, and go away in pleased amazement over the aggressive ef- ficiency they have witnessed. Prob ably the highest tribute this eff ciency could receive lies in the fact that these thousands of visitors are conducted through the Ford factory every month without in the least dis turbing the even regularity of the more than 33,0o0 workers.

try, it was so irresistible as to leave me no ground for refusal.
 Tt has seemed to me, from my long experience in automobile manufacture, that the sales department, coming in contact with the avenues of distribu- tion to the ultimate consumer, receives the most sensitive information of the trend of the market, which can be used toward aiding the manufacturing de- partment in constantly keeping abreast of the times in meeting the public needs and demands in the most ex- DeditiouS way"

A POPULAR PLACE

Detroit has been often spoken of as the Wonder City" owing to its marvellous growth in population, jumping from 465,766 in 1910 to 915,-
 AS in 1917, doubling itself in the past seven years. The automobile industry is solely responsible for this miraculous growth. Detroit makes more than two-thirds of all the

Shall New Mexico
Feed atself? ?

New Mexico labels rarely ap-
pear on the articles on sale by the
grocer, the butcher, the haber-
dasher, the dealer in hardware.
dry goods and wet goods. In
other words what the people of
New Mexico, eat, wear, and drink,
is very largely imported from 9th
er states.
The income Of the mines, live
stock, hay, fruit. etc, is sent away
to build up industries in other
com munities. Such condition is
no longer defensibls in state
that has so many and varied re.
sources as New Mexico.
Wheat is a standard crop and OF
a grade high enough to make the
best flour. The area adapted to
wheat is extensive enough to grow
the grnin necessary for the -four
ing mills.
Butter, cheese. and condensed
milk imports in 1916 totalled $3,-
100000. There never was better
country for dairying than New
Mexico.
Poultry products were imported
to the amount Of $3,OO0,000 in
1916. Every one knows how
readily poultry of all kinds may
be raised in New Mexico.
Fresh meats are shipped in on
large scale. Hardly meat mar
ket In the state handles exclusively
beef, mutton and pork fattened at
home. In 1916 10000 head of
cattle and 8S6,S85 head of sheep
were shipped ont to be finished by
enterprising feeders in other
states.
The grocers sell imported yege-
tables and imported canned goods.
Even onions ere shipped in tho

Denia onions and other standard
varities. Check over the grocer's
stock of goods and note that the
greater proportion could be profit

be successfully produced in New
Mexico. SO can bran, shorts, al

An inceased production of these
things will not come of itself soon.
