taken by the federal trade commission, will succeed, in the opinion of the com mission, only if publishers practice the closest economies in the use of paper. Blank agreement forms sent to publish CTS throughout the country today in- form them that to benefit by the price fixing plan they must not only consent to relinquish 5 per cent of their paper requirements, but must agree to dis continue return privileges and must buy additional paper only to meet the most urgent needs.
 The commission expects to go ahead with its plans as soon as enough pub [ fishers come into the arrangement to make it practica ble. The price fixing proposal, as advanced by manufac- turers, will be operative for six months. The commission has set a price of S2.50, but in it's notice to publishers says this price will be tried first for three months and then if found too low will be read juSted.
 To insure that small publishers get paper, the commission is working on a plan under which manufacturers will sell to them first the paper released by large publishers.

cess of the Willard battery is due to put one thing-giving the motoring pubic the very best battery that can be built and backing it with a service that prolongs it's life. Willard bat terles are used by over S5 per cent of the makers of electrically equipped cars. This means more than S5O,000 car owners are looking to Willard for battery satisfaction and are get ting it with the help of Willard service.
 ''The long experience of the Willard company in manufacturing storage batteries IS largely responsible for SC many car builders making Willard their choice. That their judgment is good has been strongly evidenced by the year in and year out satis- faction reported by car owners.
 This means satisfaction not only in the battery itself but in the ser vice. which is afforded by over 725 Willard service stations where expert workmanship, courteous attention and thorough knowledge of storage bat tery ailments have made staunch friends of these thousands of people who drive motor cars.
 ITO increase this owner satisfac- tion, the Willard company originated unique plan of giving free inspec tiOn. once every month to car owner, regardless of the battery he used. This plan has worked out very sue cessfully and has been followed by a great many other storage battery manufacturers This orly goes 70 serve as further proof of the wisdom of the Willard policy of putting the car owners satisfaction above every thing else'

BEARINGS PLAY GREAT PART IN
 MAKING AUTOS

The owner Who bases his selection of an automobile wholly or partly on bearings should see that the manu- facturer uses bearing which is standard among it's kind rather than a bearing of q certain type. This is the way the latest technical service bulletin issued by the Haynes Auto mobile company sums up the perpleX- ing problem of motor car bearings, said NJ. L. Burkhead of the Babbitt- Poison Co. yesterday
 Bearings are necessary in any mechanical device with moving parts They are used tC protect certain movable parts from the stationary parts. and are so designed that they reduce the resulting friction to the lowest possible point. As applied to automobile, bearings are of three dis tinct types. plain. ball bearings and roller bearings.
 The bearings in automobile crank cases supporting the crankshaft-the main bearings-are necessarily of the plain type, which is to say the nov ing parts are protected from the sta tionary parts by layer of bearing metal that present out little friction The material is a special nickel babbitt poured to 8 predetermined size. The connecting rod bearings are also of this type. Camshaft bearings are like wise plain bearings but formed from q bronze alloy.
 Tn medium and high priced cars the use of ball and roller bearings in the wheel and on the transmission shaft and 2ountershaft is about equal ly divided. By their structure ball bearings offer the least amount of friction surface, and so theoretically arc the best type of bearing. although roller bearings were first brought tu a high state of perfection. The choice open to the owner in modern cars is not so much between the two types as between the better and poor grades of each type.
 More than any other feature, the automobile owner should keep in mind. that fabrication is essential for all kinds of bearings. particularly of the plain type. A few minutes spent in the care or these vital parts will in crease car service in a way that is more than commensurate with the time spent in giving them the scant care they require g

CAL MESSNER
 PH|L0SOPHZES
 0N AUTO NUTS

Says Cal Messner. of the Hudson Sales company and who is by way of being a philosopher:
 Human nature is sure a funny thing, especially that exhibited in con- nection with the automobile business. Now here is an eXample-a letter from SWede who bought a car, a second- hand car, from me about four years ago. before I got into the motor car game. He writes:
 My ta mcar she silk. l try foar to make him cure. Shake him oil to peeees. I greze him and poot him oil to gedder agen. But 1 have some peeces over left Why I am writing peeces?
 P. S.
 The tam car she still seek annyhoW after I cure him. I tink maybe I git mad an kik hell owt off him..
 Now isn't that good? And there are thousands like him. It seems like ev- cry fellow looks to find a goat The goat is the most popular animal on earth. Take my business-the rela- tiOn of the goat to it: If a car goes wrong. the trouble is with the car It isn't with the man who owns it or who drives it. If the motors get balky, why the trouble is with the motors-they should have known better If some thing goes wrong when he is in a hur- " or has some particular engagement, then all the lamentations fall on the car and everything connected with it, and he blames the whole works-from the tail-light to the mud guards.
 The proposition is just this The ordinary owner, to do justice to the mentality of the average owner, knows d lot about good many things, but he doesn't know as much about his ear as he thinks he does He is willing to admit it. part of the time, but the rest of the time it is rather ticklish proposition. And he is apt to want you to take care of his car troubles, where his own negligence caused the difficulty. Here is where the animal with the horns. enters into the proposi- tiOn Get me?
 But where a man buys a Hudson SuperS Six. that equation is eliminated And, speaking of Hudsons, let me re- mind the buying public that spring is on the way. Springtime, when ones fancy turns to motoring; when the lure of the road is keenest. Then you want your Super Six.
 This year, as in past years, dealers handling the Hudson cars will not be able to fill all orders. Buyers must wait; some, perhaps, way into the summer, when the touring season is waning. That is why I would urge prospective purchasers to buy now We can make immediate deliveries or hold your car until you want it. But with shipping conditions as acute as they are and the tremendous demand that is to come within the next month or two. we cannot promise you anything if you wait too late"

When you close your school see
that all the crayon, erasers and
school supplies in general are
placed in some ones care. We
purchased crayon some ten days
ago and it cost us So per crate, or
twelve cents per box more than
it did last year; and the trouble
is, nearly every thing else costs
in the same proportion. Help US

ing after that we already have. In

THOUSANDS Of DOL
LIARS FOR TOBACCO
Paid Out in Dresden this Week BY McGuan
and EzsH, Local Tobacco Hand
Isrs. Two Biggest Days.

Tuesday and Wednesday were
two Of the biggest tobacco days in
the history of Dresden, thousands
(perhaps $5O,00O)of dollars being
paid out here for the weed on the
two days named above.
Ezell's receipts on Tuesday were
214 loads, while McCuan got sixty
loads. On Wednesday ninety
four loads came in to Mr.. Ezell
and Mr.. McCuan received about
forty loads.
The town was full of tobacco
hauIers hunting sheds for their
wagons and places to stay, and
many of our people opened their
homes to the haulers, some taking
as many as three or four home
with them. One gentleman offer
ed to drive his automobile out in
the open to make room for the
load of tobacco for farmer friend
who was forced to remain here ov-
er night. Others were as gener-
Gus.
The Enterprise was unable to
obtain a report of the receipts at
Martin, but did learn that a vast
nlmber Of wagons were there with
tobacco. Also Gleason received a
number of loads this week.
The season was an ideal one,
the weed being just right for pro-
per handling, and no grower was
either sent back or locked. Mr..
Ezell paid out about $4,000 on
Tuesday and Mr.. McCuan about
$4,000.
