GOODYEAR SERVICE STATIONS IN J. 5.
 NOW T0TAL 15,00D

Ia the Goodyear Tire &, Rubber company's plan for rendering specific tire service to the three million motor ists of the United States 15,000 service stations are now included-an identi- fled by the familiar Goodyear sign. and scattered throughout the entire coun- try, reaching even the remotest ham lets.
 This far-flung battle line reaching across the continent, has been estab- lished in the interest of this great army of American motorists because it is their due. There are many ser Nices that all these motorists have a right to expect from these service sta tions-and which the service stations expect to be called upon to furnish.
 In commenting on his eompanys service policy, the local manager for the Goodyear Tire 6 Rubber company says, We feel that we have not done enough when we have built mileage into our tires, for the service is not complete-we must help the user to get this mileage out of the tires. We Saim to increase tire mileages by meet ing and averting those abuses which shorten tire life and boost tire cost.
 We expect all our service stations to rerder certain specific services among which are to advise correct air pressures, lest under imitation work 1 the premature ruin of the tire; to make frequent tests to ascertain whether the original pressure is sustained: to inspect castings for tread cuts, and make the timely repairs intended to combat this condition; to test out brakes to insure that they grip evenly: to Interchange tires from rear to front

ernment should have continued to spend for our army, navy and coast defense until this country was in a position of absolute impregnability.
 The spending of two billions for our own defense, which seems to be the present plan, is not a matter of a day or month. It takes time to equip an army of two million men, but our factories are equal to the emer- gency. The money used is only re leased for circulation, as it comes back to the people in wages and through the purchase of raw and fin ished products. As for the proposed loan of three billions of dollars to the Allies, the financing of this operation will not be felt in the United States.
 If one will only take glimpse at the banking situation in this country one will be convinced of this fact: It is estimated that the capital, sur plus and deposits of our banks total approximately 35 billion dollars at the present time Therefore, the banks alone could loan the national govern ment at least six billion dollars and at the same time carry on the loans they are now making in the regular course of business to finance the industries of this country.
 If this is the banking condition of the country at the present time, how can anyone think that the financing Of five billions of dollars by the people Of the United States is going to make a disastrous impression?

This new model Mitchell. is the last word in elegance. comfort and beauty of design. The ultra -streamline body, of mirrorlike lustrOus finish, all baked, is mounted on the 127inch Wheelbase chassis, which gives it the long rakish appearance so desirable in a sport model. Pody finish is dark blue al most black, with black enameled hood, radiator shell lenders and running gear White wire wheels completes the beautiful picture.
 Unlike most club rOadsters. chummy roadsters or cloverleafs. this car has room aplenty. In fact 1t is q roomy five passenger ear. Now if you are cOrpulent have long limbs, or are fat you will find comfort here. Heretofore only the person of small statute of the lean and hungry appearance could think of owning one of these close coupled models.
 Phoenix is certainly an automobile city, stated Mir LannIs. This car was received by Mr. Bolton, local Mitchell distributor. during the latter part of this week, and since then the sales force has been kept busy until late at night showing it to the many prospects. More of these models are expected to arrive in about a week."

OPTIMISTIC vIEN IF AUTO

 ENTRANCE IF l. ]. INTO WAR

A statement appeared the other day to the effect that the pleasure car business in Canada during 1916 was greater than ever before in the his tory of the automobile industry The authority for that statement was not named. but it is reasonable to assume that the statement was practically correct. Therefore Canada's expert ence in 1916 should answer the ques- tion as to what effect the war will have on the American Automobile in dustry.
 On every side We hear reports of in- creased business in Canada during the last two years, not only for strictly Canadian industries but for United States manufacturers who are engaged in extensive business in the Dominion.
 A big roofing concern, a harvester company, a varnish making organiza- tion, a cream separator company, a big gramaphone organization and many other varied United States in dustries speak glowingly of increased business ranging from ten to a hum

dred per cent If that situation has prevailed in Canada it should be even more applicable to the United States.
 The European conflict has proved beyond doubt that motor cars of the sO-calied pleasure car variety as well as trucks are an indispensable element in connection with warfare. Today, thousands of motor cars would be un- der process of buildinging in Europe if there were factories there in which to build them. The factories and workmen, however, are not available.
 In this country, we have the factor ies and men. Although some of our automobile plants may be taken over entirely by the government for war material purposes, there will remain scores of others available for automo- bile building and the situation will only serve to increase their business.
 While there may possibly be a short age in the supply Of automobiles there is not likely to exist an over supply of the product and that is really the most important danger to fear

VI. PUBLIC SAFETY BULLETIN

The following items OF food shortage
compiled from information gathered from
the State Agricultural College arc inter-
esting from the viewpoint of the farmer
who fears an over-production and conse-
quent slump in foodstuff prices the COM
ing year:
The 1917 wheat crop Of the United States
was 5l,N4000 bushels less than the 1916
crop and 2k2,Sf7 900 bushels less than the
1875 crop.
This years wheat crop in Argentina and
New Zealand is only 70 per cent. OF last
years crop.
ducing countries OF the world was 4S9.
10000 bushels less In 1916 than in 1916.
The stock Of lard on hand in the Uni
ted States April 1. 1917. was as per cent.
less than the stock on hand the sans
date 1916.
A decrease Of 36.S per cent. occurred in
the stock of eggs from April 1. 1917, to
April l, 1916.
The government Of Argentina. fearing
q shortage Of wheat for local consump-
ton. declared an embargo in March.
which absolutely prohibited the shipment
of wheat from the country.
In connection with these statistics the
following extract from a personal letter
is Of interest: with the great food
shortage in the world. and especially in
the countries Of our allies. there Ia every
reason to believe that prices for pfoduc-
ers will continue on a high level. D. F.
Houston. United States secretary of agri-
culture" A similar statement was made
by the same authority in the March issue
of the National Geographic Magazine
Because Of the shortage of such crops
practically throughout the world, there Ii
no risk in the near future Of excessive
production.

OTHER MEETINGS.
VICTOR CARLSTROM AND
PUPIL ARE KILLED
Carlstrom's Most Famous Explicit Was
Chicago-New York Flight.

CaFlstFOm's Most Famous Explicit Was
Chicaxo-New York Flight.
Newport News Va. May 10-Victof
Carlstrom. instructor at the Atlantic
Coast Aeronautical school here. and an
army student Cary B. Epes. met instant
death early this afternoon when btplane
plunged $500 feet to earth. The tragedy
was witnessed by hundreds OF persons.
Carlstrom. who was plotting the machine.
made a valiant fight for his life and the
life OF his pupil. Caflstrom was famous
aviator. his most widely known exploit
perhaps being his Chicago to New York
flight for the New York Times.
Several theories are advanced as to the
cause Of the accident. All that Is known
is that watchers on the ground saw the
machine suddenly crumple and then begin
an end and end descent Although one
wing had been torn loose and was hutter-
ing down behind ti,- machine. Carlstrom
manoeuvred in such manner as to bring
the airplane to Its proper position. while
he was yet 100 feet from the earth He
held it in such a position and It struck
the ground right side up. However. the
loss OF the wing made It impossible to
glide, and tho machine shot almost
straight down, burying its nose more than
three feet in the ground.
Carlstroms last act was to cut on his
motor 100 feet above the earth. thus pre-
venting the machine from catching hrs
when It struck. Both bodies were man
gled almost beyond recognition.
Carlstrom was regarded a. the prepaier
among American airmen. and had the
unique distinction OF having become an
instructor one week after quitting his Job
as a cowboy on a Colorado ranch to take
up aviation. Recently he was commits
stoned lieutenant in the United States n.y.
ing corps reserve. He was holder Of one
world record and several American alti-
tude and long distance night records- He
nrst came into prominence on his night
from Toronto to New York. Later he
few from this city to New York, and
later made his famous attempt at non
stop night from Chicago to New York.
Epes. who was formerly teller In
local bank. resigned to offer his services
to the nation on the declaration OF war
with Germany and was making his first
flight.
