wood, says Carl Changstrom Of the
Standard Motor Car company. Last
year, when horses alone were used,
the cost of delivery per ton was never
less than 95 cents, while with the
motor truck it has been in the neigh
borhood of 80 cents. At this rate the
machine will earn its first cost in less
than two years.
The daily work includes long and
short hauls, and as all loading is done
by~hand the amount of idle time is
considerable. This is best shown in
the mileage, which varies fro. eight
cen miles to twenty-five miles daily.
The company finds that the motor
truck with two men does the work of
three men and three wagons--two
doubles and a single. Two of the
company's torses, which were for
merly kept for surplus work, have
been put in pasture, and there has
been no need for hiring an additional
team, as in the past.

GERMAN WAR BARONS.
ENEMIES TO PEACE.
Lord Robert, Cecil, British Min
lister of Blockade, Declares
They Must Be Extermi-
mated to End War.

London, Oct. l3,-Discussing the
possibility of permanent peace after
the war Lord Robert Cecil, minister
of blockade, told the Associated Press
today that the United States, Great
Britain and France must find some
way of exterminating the German
war baron" class which finds war
4 profitable business and spends its
peace time energy in melting war.
THE central powers have seen kept
in the war so long said Sir Robert,
mot merely by the German military
caste but also by the classes who get
rich OF of war--the vultures OF COM
merce and industry. The military
caste OF Germany we shall convince
by force OF arms, BIT the commercial
vultures we must attack in their
pockets and teach them that war is
not profitable business.
Must Cut Of Outside Business.
THAT is partly the business of a
blockade, but blockade by itself will
not do everything. We must go fur
ther and cut off the overseas branches
of the war barons in the far east,
South America and elsewhere. The
American trading with the enemy act
is admirably conceived for the pur-
pose o. cramping this business, but
more must still be done. These vul-
lures cannot carry on without rela-
tions outside of Germany. The great
source of their power has been their
financial connections with neutrals.
Without commercial connections they
lose credit and without credit they
are done.
New York has enormous ,interna-
tional financial strength, so has Lon
don and so has Paris. | do not know
exactly how this power can be ap-
piled to the question under considera-
ton but | am anxious that the mat
ter should be confined in those CEN
tiers. Surely our combined financial
strength is sufficient to smother these
international vultures if we act to-
oethcr."

Hints for Autoists Using
An Electric Starter

Probably ever motorist does moi
know that for every second consumed
in starting a motor electrically the
generator must run at charging speed
for several minutes to put the same
amount of current back into the stor.
age battery.
Elmer Rosengren of the Nebraska
Storage Battery company explains
that an electric starter should not be
used to show off" the power de.
veloped.
A few suggestions for use Of your
starting equipment may prove oi
benefit:
/. Make sure your battery is fully
charged and filled with pure water.
2. Don't let your starter churn--
find out about gas and spark being
right.
3. Always release your starter a.
soon as the motor begins to turn or
its own power.
4. Keep your generator properly
adjusted and cleaned.
5. Prime your motor il 1t IS cold.
These things will save you both an.
noyance and money for electrical re.
pairs,

SEPTEMBER Is Big
AUTO SALES MONTH
Saxon Dealers Report Active
Market for Motor Cars
and Huge August
Business.

September is living up to the pre-
dictiohs that farsighted automobile
men made for it last summer when
they said that the fall month would
be big selling season for motor cars.
This is evidenced by reports which
are coming from motor car dealers in
all parts of the country. At the plant
of the Saxon .Motor Car corporation
at Detroit, the latest tabulations from
the dealers show that the month has
, exceeded expectations. 1t has been
with difficulty that the factory has
been able to supply the demand for
cars and at the present time there are
hundreds of untitled orders on hand.
| The total sales of the indianapolis
dealer organization to date in Sep
tember are 2l4 cars.
Now that some time has elapsed
since the August retail business
closed, Saxon dealers are coming for
ward with the information that this
month also was splendid sales sea-
son. E. ]. Borchers of Dayton, O.,
established a record for sales in Au.
gust by selling eighteen the first day
Of the month, and kept up the pace.
While reports for other parts OF the
country indicate comparatively large
amount of business. Despite the
slack period in sales which immedi-
ately followed the declaration of war,
dealers are averaging bigger bus.
ness this year than last. The Grand
Rapids territory, which takes in fer
tile section of Michigan's farm coun-
try, reports that business has in
creased so that Saxon sales this year
show 200 per cent increase in nine
months, whereas the nearest competi-
tor showed onl, 200 per cent increase.
These records are based on the Off
cial records of the secretary of state,
In the far west business has gone
steadily onward and Spokane terri
tory already has sold $50 cars. In
the same way the middle west shows
large gains.
The dealers say that the ideal
weather of September has helped
some and that If October brings
pleasant days also, the sales will keep
right up. They look for an active re-
tail market until snow flies.

Beats Out Advance in\
Price Of Automobiles

Beating out the advancing price OF
automobiles is great game" asserts
H. Pelton, Marmon distributor. Or
dinarily it can't be done and dealers
have to reconcile themselves to the
fact that material and labor bring this
condition about.
"We had streak of good luck last
week in getting two more Marmon
roadsters from a dealer who had
bought them at the old price and
just to show that our hearts are in
the right place we are going to sell
them at the old price; of course, a
3 per cent war tax must be added to
conform with the latest federal law"

LETS BOOST OUR
@CHAUTAuQUA

Mr.. E. M. Crary,
Devils Lake, N. D.
Dear Sir:
l wish to thank the World for the
kind words and assistance rendered
the Chautauqua management in max
ing this year assembly such a great
success.
I am personally very much pleased
as I have always considered the Chau-
tauqua could be made a great asset to
Devils Lake and I know you are of
the same opinion. I know the bust
ness people Of Devils Lake have over
looked a great opportunity to make
our beautiful Chautauqua Park the
big asset for, Devils Lake that it
should be if they would back the
Chautauqua program with at least$1,-
500 every year, we could have the
largest moving pictures in the United
States, a band all season, more base
ball and a few national lecturers, and
a good aeroplane or hydroplane. We
have made a start this year. Let's
get back of this Chautauqua program
for next year and make it a big thing.
I do not believe the ~Chautauqua pro-
gram should be dropped if the park
board takes the grounds over for a
park.
