Saturday night by vote of 46 to 16.
Wage increases may be expected
within thirty days after the govern
ment assumes wire control, declared
Senator McCumber, opposing the reso-
luton, during the debate.
IF the President tells Congress this
measure is necessary, and why,
would vote for it," he concluded.
Adoption of his amendment exempt
ing the wire of press bureaus and
press associations was urged by Sena-
tor Watson of Indiana. Taking up the
extent Of the service of these organiza-
tions he said the Associated Press has
more than LOO daily and Sunday
newspapers and $4,000 miles of wire
during the day and 10000 miles at
night. Should the resolution pass, he
added, there would be nothing to pre-
vent the government from taking use
Of these wires if it were thought the
emergency required it. Senator Wat
son praised the patriotism of the news
papers.

BRITISH TAKE NEW GROUND
White Sea Port and Macedonian
Points Qccupied

London, July 15.-Brtish forces,
after landing on the Thurman coast,
have occupied the port of Ken, on the
White sea, the Frankfurter Zeitung
says, according to u Rotterdam dis
patch to the Daily Telegraph. B.
British troops in Macedonia SEEM
ingly have started an operation against
the Teutonic powers which may de-
velop westward along the battle front
and eventually conform with the line
of the successful drive being carried
out by the French and Italians in AL
bania. West of the town of Dorian,
which lies on the railroad north of
Saloniki, the British have delivered
blow against the Bulgarians which was
productive Of good results. Details of
the operations are lacking, but it is not
unreasonable to assume that 1t had in
view the ultimate capture of the rail-
road line running northward from
Zuskub and outfianktng of the enemy
lines northeast Of Monastir.

"The liquor traffic." said the state

A summary of the report Of the as

Regardless Of political affiliations
Of the members of the association and
leaving out Of consideration the moral
issues involved and basing it's opinion
entirely on economic and patriotic:
ground the committee unanimously
and unqualifiedly believes that the ma

war is absolutely necessary to make
effective this or any other plan for in
creased coal production.
"A comparison Of records, of pro-
duction of coal mines in wet and dry
territories furnishes ample proof Of
the need Of prohibition"
"Drink Evil Rampant"
A. r. Hamilton, chairman of the
committee, made this supplemental
statement: ~
"The committee feels that the drink
Ing evil has become so rampant in the
mining communities that its complete
elimination is fundamentally necessary
In the effort to speed up the mines suf-
ficiently to get the 100,00O,O0O addi-
tfonal tons of coal this country will re-
Quire this year. It is now up to Con-
gress to make a clean-cut choice be-
tween ''booze" for the mining commu-
mites and coal for the war and the

MOTORCYCLESAG AGAIN
AVAILABLE HERE IN
SLIGHT QUANTITIES

Immediately after the armistice was
signed the Harley Davidson Motor
company succeeded in getting the war
department u release approximately
so per cent of the factory output for
private sale through the regular chan
nels of dealer distribution, said H. c.
Crandall of the Phoenix Cycle COM
pany.
For many months the entire pro-
duction of the great Milwaukee motor
cycle factories has been going TO Uncle
Sans fighting forces. Not only has
the motorcycle made itself absolutely
indispensable as a dispatch riders
mount. but great quantities of motor
cycles with sidecars attached have been
used as machine gun cars.
Authorities have estimated that in
addition to the large contingent Of
motorcycle riders which was recruited
from the ranks of experienced motor
cyclists shortly after America entered
the war, approximately 100000 SOL
diers have been turned out as compe-
| tent motorcycle drivers by various
army schools and other organizations
which have been carrying on motor
cycle instruction.
In addition to these drivers, about

This comparatively large number of
repairmen has been required to take
care of repairs, for in the war zone
motorcycles have been put to the most

for the most pat were under enemy

less than the wastage caused by acct

"At night dispatch riders had tC
travel without lights and many times
were obliged to travel at top speed

might possibly mean the loss of thou

USE JUDGMENT IN
SELECTING A CAR

The present day value of an auto
mobile depends on its degree of utility"
says Bert Q. Brown, local dealer IL
Chevrolet passenger automobiles and
trucks
The more it will save you, the more
it will serve you-your business and
our government. And so in measuring
the value of an automobile from d
standpoint of saving service, you can
confidently Judge the worth of a car
by its reputation and the reputation of
the manufacturer.
"A good substantial automobile is
profitable investment at any time, but
more especially at this time, when so
many duties incident to business and
war work are crowded into every hour
of the business mans day But the
curtailment of automobile manufactur-
ing has caused a scarcity of desirabl,
and reputable motor cars. Therefore
When selecting car, you should
satisfy yourself thoroughly beforehand
! that it was built to render economical
service for long terms of years by a
responsible organization with the facil-
tiles and resources to insure the con-
sistent production of worthy products.
When purchasing an automobile,
| don't leap before you look Remember
to be a worthwhile companion it must
wear well 1t must never fail you in
time of need. 1t must never be a
burden to keep. And the closer youl
acquaintance becomes with it, the
greater should be the enjoyment from,
its possession.
To render efficient service your au-
tomobile should have plenty Of power
and stamina. 1t should be correct and
efficient mechanically. The diversified
demands upon a car these DAYS re-
quires it. 1t must be large enough fol-
| all business and family needs without
the unnecessary weight which detracts
from tDe comfort and adds to the cost
OF maintenance. Pride in possession
depends largely upon appearance. Your
car should look as well as it performs
IF you will satisfy yourself with
nothing but a car that has earned 4
well established reputation for eff
Gent and economical service-you car
feel confident that it will be a saft
and satisfactory investment"

His aggressive spirit, always tempered
with cool, calculating judgment, made
his opinions eagerly sought and his
advice highly valued. The success of
scores of national advertising cam

of his executive ability.
Almost since the inception of the
industry he has been a close student
of the manufacturing and selling Of
motor cars and power driven CONNER
