No government, therefore, will fail

Because the automobile business

SMALLER WHEELS WITH
In new COLE EIGHT

The trend OF the Industry in de
signing motor cars Of the 70 called
sport" type has been to diminish the
diameter OF the wheels and Increase
the size Of the tires. There Is no
doubt but that by doing this an added
rskishness is given the appearance OF
the car.
models. which have just been added
as special features OF the present Cole
line. diminutiVe wheels are used and
on them are mounted massive 33X5-
inch tires.
The tires are OF the Cord variety,
and set the car off to excellent ad-
vantage.

This results in a stronger construc.
ton at this point than any other part
OF the body. Heretofore this has been
the weakest point in the metal work.
In the old system OF body building
any little strain or twist would cause
a small crack in the paint directly un-
der the windows and along these
planted holdings.
Two-piece construction also pre-
vents the checking OF paint, which
always takes place on bodies not
built this way. Once the, paint is
checked il results in the paint scaling
of. This is due to the elements or
water coming in contact with the
metal causing il to rust. This re-
suits in an unsightly finish in a very
short time.

AUTOS WILL PUT
HORSE IN DISCARD,
SAYS CAR MAKER
BY w. G. sILLS.
Chevrolet Motor Company.

Today. the automobile is looked
upon as a means OF quick transpor.
tation. It Is a vehicle for getting
about in double quick time. II is
plainly evident then that the motor
car will always be in demand and
that its usefulness will increase. II
is only a question Of time before the
horse will disappear entirely.
The automobile is getting to be
more Of a factor in business and is
purchased for the purpose OF increas-
ing the daily efficiency Of the bust
ness man. It saves him time and
therefore permits him to do more.
With the increased activity that
will prevail in this country. il stands
to reason that the demand fer auto
mobiles will increase rather than di-
minish.
Farmer Big Purchaser.
The farmer is the largest pur-
chaser of medium priced cars. He
Is not only going to continue being a
great factor in the purchase OF motor
cars, but a greater one from this
time on.
His purchasing power is going to
increase from day to day. for the
good reason that his wealth will in
crease.
The farmer. in a period like this.
will rapidly multiply his. resources.
He will secure prices for his product
that he never enjoyed before.
The farmer sells the necessities OF
life. More acreage will be under
cultivation this year than ever be-
fore. and this means increased earn
ings.
Predicts Growth In Trade.
The farmers will need more auto
mobiles. Asan efficiency method. as
a factor in their work. the automo-
bile is as much of a necessity as
farming implements.
We know from experience that If
farmer is prosperous. the whole coun-
try is prosperous. and so there is no
reason why we should think that the
demand for cars will diminish.
What Is true OF rural communities.
is also true OF towns and cities. In

cocH1sE AND GOOD ROADS.

Contracts have been let for the grading of the Douglas -Bisbee road, and work will be started on at least three points in the road early in July This work is preliminary to the having of the entire twenty mile stretch between Bisbee and Douglas which, when completed, will make one of the finest pieces of road construction in the United States.
 This work was made possible by the is suance of $1 100000 of road bonds, $500,000 of which were subscribed by the Phelps Dodge Corporation. The splendid attitude of the min ing companies towards the matter of road i'm provement has been greatly appreciated by the people of Cochise county particularly as they recognize that probably 80 per cent of the cost of the roads, is met by the companies ill the form of taxes.

Carmichael completely demolished the Governor s little play house, and did so in dignifed manner. After this there was noth- ing more to say. Hunts latest was merely brain storm which had little bearing on the case, and was doubtless conceived with the idea of personal and political aggrandisement, hoping thereby to draw the mne manager away from the issue and thereby muddy the waters. But MT. Carmichael did not dignify the last effusion so much as to notice it. Prob ably thinking people who read both sides of the controversy hardly endorse the Phoenix-iil- spired title which the Hunt papers are print ing over the recent effusion but some people misconstrue buster for brains, so there you are.

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE?

Won't there be a gay old time in these United States when the day comes for the re- adjustment of prices? The profteer is grow ing more bold in his profit taking day by day. The greed of the average tradesman has the sky for his limit, and the cards are stacked so high that the starry Armament vaulted up ward and then some.
 Patriotism covers a multitude of sins, and has to bear is proportion of this odium We are taught to Hooverize while the commercial buccaneer filches our pockets. The people are enjoined to use food substitutes and straight way the price of these self same substitutes are boosted to higher level than that which they are to supplant. This price fixing is done when the raw materials are not any dearer
 The food administration has fixed the profits on food substitutes at 20 per cent maxi mum profit, but little or no attention is paid to any such injunction.
 Will it be necessary for the government to take actual supervision of every line of commercial and industrial enterprise to prevent the exploitation of the consumer? Indications point that way. The "inordinate greed and bare faced fraud" says the United States Trade Commission, is responsible for this commercial piracy. Heavy prison sentences may be able to put check to this s'inordinate greed and bare faced fraud' which is being practiced upon the people, but it is doubtful. There will be those who will take a chance. The law of supply and demand is no longer a remedy, for this is the day of combinations and big business It is nothing short of social ism practiced for the benefit of the favored ones, and if socialism is fact, it is best that 1t should be inaugurated for the whole peo- ple rather than for the benefit of band of commercial pirates who would exploit the pee pie by reason of this secret banding together of big business to enrich themselves by req son of the compactness of their business or ganization. s7 " }esgg- Fl Hi4ss sssss
