This represents the actual number of sales made. The Cruse-Craw- ford people have had astonishing success in their truck sales and it is feared now that they have already sold the entire number that the factory will ship them until further arrangements are made.

BROKE TRADITION

De Palma's wonderful performance also moved a victory for the straight side or mo hook" type of tire, for his ia nous Packard was equipped all around with Goodyear cord tires of the straight side type. He was the first of the big racing drivers to try out the claim that these tires would stay on the rims no matter what the speed or the racing conditions, breaking away from the tra- dition long held in racing circles that only tires of the clincher type would adhere to the wheels under the terriflhc rriuds of the race track. He used them .rin all his speed work last season, in cluding the establishment of new six hour worlds record of 6SS miles e
 Tn addition to the big race, three heat 10 mile Futurity handicap was run, with the first three winners in each or the first two heats qualifying for the third. The final was won by Dario Resta in a new car of his own design. Resta also started in the big race and kent well up with the leaders until me- chanicaI trouble developed. As he came down the straight stretch to the pits his car suddenly became enveloped in a sheet of flame from his motor, and the crowd came to it's feet in an instant, in an- ticipation of a tragedy, but the drlver' exhibiting marvellous cooiness, drove up to his pit and stepped from his car un- seatbed amid the applause Of the stands. After the finish of the Hardness hand icap. racing men commented freely on inc good showing of the tires under the terrific grind All of the cars eN- cept that taking third place wore Gooo- year cord tires.

age Of the winter and in the grip OF

The conclusion to continue the clos

There had been every indication up
to Monday night that the Monday hol-

supply of coal, coupled with the
weather situation, were accepted as
convincing proof that the present is
no time to lift the closing order.
There are some indications that if
better weather does not come to inn

IN for consideration an amendment to

THE SAGE OF KANSAS GROWS
FACETIOUS.

William Allen White of the En-
poria Gazette discourses thusly in
his paper about wasting space,
which in these war times, when we
are told to conserve everything, he
concludes is nothing less than sin
full. Hear his latest:
Walking down Commercial street
today the Gazette came 10 the con-
clusion that too much display space,
which might be listed for advertis-
ing, is going 10 waste.
Frinstance, there are something
like 400 girls in town attending the
Normal. Most of them are wearing
open-throated waists which reveal a
considerable expanse of heaving buzz
yum, aforementioned expanse often
extending as far to the south as the
Elemendaro Township line. With the
exception of an occasional mole or
a cavalier it is unornamented. We
suggest this highly desirable posting
space be mounted with suitable war
placards such as Food will win the
war" and "I'll take a thrift stamp
instead of an ice cream soda"
Also walking down Commercial
street we noticed a considerable
