The PHYSICAL Phasa

Edward f. Parker, in referring to the
cotton situation said:
The so-called Cotton Situation"

Financial.
The third feature, that of financing.

question, namely-to what extern

opinion.
AS to the physical conditions, l wish
10 mention only one phase, which is the
ginning situation. Due to causes with
which we are all familiar, the capacity

that it will exist very shortly; that the
entire crop of his season Will De ginned
out during the month of March and
probably before that time; and that,
unless much larger acreage IS planted
next season, than has been planted
this season, this valley already is over
supplied with gins.
suppose it is very hard for growers
to appreciate that statement but they
should remember that last year this
was new industry rapidly expanding,
and if it was not taken care of ideally
as to gins. yet it was not in a bad sit

this season all of our plans were
thrown out of joint because OF restric-
tons imposed on account of the war.
The fact remains that next season this
valley will have not less than 49,
stands rated capacity, capable of gin

do not mean to say that the ginning
period will actually be reduced to 100
days,-it may extend 25 days beyond
that. because the peak demand is nor

To recapitulate, | believe the present
ginning situation will rapidly clear it.

AS to the second consideration
namely-Market. am very loath to ex-
press myself, because our buying de-

its prices and not express opinions as
to the future. You can readily see why
we must adopt that policy. No buyer
can forecast the future market WITH

The snow of Wednesday afternoon

Omaha had less than many other

North Platte, .O6; Kansas City, 1.22.
That at Kansas City was chiefly rain.

All Records for Saving
Of Fuel Made by Harroun

In January, 1917, the first Harroun
show car began its circuit of the au-
tomobile shows at New York, Chicago
and Detroit and all along the line this
car was the center OF expert inter-
est. Engineers admired its construc-
ton; it became the basis OF compari-
son with the most costly in its sturdy
but simple mechanical layout
The compact little valve in the head
motor, in which Ray Harroun had in
corporated the results of his native
genius and his years of experience as
racing champion and engineer. is a
conspicuous part OF this performance.
Engineers were again amazed when
IN carefully observed test this mo-
tor developed maximum Of 43 horse
power--a feat new to the annals OF
engineering in motors of anything like
its displacement.
Records were again shattered when
this Harroun car covered 49.6 miles on
q gallon Of gasoline on the lndanapo-
lis speedway. This is the worlds best
record for level circular course. On
the streets and roads more sensa-
tional events have been registered and
m authentic and carefully observed
run of 64.4 miles on single gallon
of fuel, This was on cold, blustry
day of early winter, when conditions
were far from ideal.

Days at Previous Shows,
Says Powell.

(Omaha's first wartime automobile
show already has established itself as
a huge success, not merely as an ex-
hibit or from the standpoint of at
tendance, but as a business PROPOSE
hon. For the 18th annual Omaha auto
Dhow now in progress at the Audto-
rum is making its mark as the most
successful buying show in history.
| Wednesday was the first big SELL
hg day and, paradoxical as it may
1eem, automobile men attribute a
large portion of their success in roll
ing up commissions to the snow.
Monday afternoon, during the first
few hours of the show, many sales
were made and contracts entered into.
Monday night was just fair, the ma
lority of the record-breaking throng

lookers-on. Tuesday business began

day when the automobile men ceased

men.
New Record Made.
According to Manager Clarke G.
Powell. a new record for automobile
show sales in Omaha was made. "In-
sofar as can estimate it, more cars
we're sold Wednesday than during any
two days at previous Omaha shows"
said Powell. "That should be suffi-
cient proof Of the wartime prosper
ity of this territory and blow to the
knockers. ! never saw anything like
it; instead of the statesmen fighting
for customers, customers were liter
ally fighting for statesmen"
More than 1000 out-of-town dealers
registered at the show Wednesday
alone and Powell declares SO per cent
of these dealers came to Omaha with
the express purpose in view of MAX
ing contracts for cars.
Snow Aids Statesmen.
The snow took shot at the attend
ance Wednesday night, but it aided
the salcsmen. The Auditorium was
just comfortably filled and this led to
more congenial circumstances for
seller and buyer.
Today the auto men expect an
other record-breaking day. More
dealers are arriving from out in the
country and this means more sales.
Friday will be "Army and Navy
day." the big day of the show.

Another new feature of the Holmes

The Holmes car, which is making

Canton, 0.
The Holmes car is air cooled, fea-
ture which recommends it to the
woman who drives her own car. Mr..
Holmes says that when he designed
the car he made a special effort to
construct simple, easily manipulated
mechanism and this feature of the car
especially commends it to the woman
driver. She can and does learn to be
a good driver, but she wants the ma
chinery of motoring suited to her
physical strength.
A young woman had great deal
to do with designing the interior fit
