COLE WINNER IN b|C CUBAN RACE
 IF STOCK CARS

Breaking ali former records. a Cole aero-e eight won the Cuban champion ship for stock cars of 301 to 400 cubic inches displacement at the races held on the Oriental Park track at Havana on July G. The entries included three Stuzes. one Buick, three Cadillacs. a Mercer. a Lancia. a Premier and His pano- Suiza.
 It was a 30-lap race. The Cole coy cred this distance of 30 miles in % minutes and five second. This is con- sidered especially good time for the class of track upon which the races were held, 1t being a dirst. track used ordinarily for horse racing.
 Prior to these races the best time ever made on any track of this char acter in Cuba was 57 second by Bob Burman in his "Blitzen Benz" in 1916.
 The winner was a Cole stock car in every respect. equipped with one of the new aero-eight motors.
 Its driver, Ronald Markham is one of the mechanics employed by the Cole dealer in Havana.
 The cars were started in two lines in front of the stand. More than 30,000 people were there to see the races for the trophy known as the "Copa Truf- fin which is also accompanied by a cash award of 5000. In the drawing the Cole ro-eight secured number i3 which placed the car on the out side position of the second line. When the flag dropped one of the other con- tenders sprang into the lead through his more favorable position in the line being closely followed by the Cole aero eight At the first lap, however they were about event at the turn and they went past the grand stand neck and neck. Markham, the driver of the Cole, although on the outside of tho turn but having the immense reserve power and even tOrque of the Cole aero eight motor, began rapidly to dis tanCe his rivals and from that time or his lead was never imperiled
 Markham and the Cole eigh are now the heroes of the hour il ! Cuba" stated one of the neWspapel reports of the event. The common belief is that he could have made ever l better time as some of the laps were made in better than 56 seconds unti 1 his lead was clearly established an, 1 his pace was slackened,' said one ract | official
 The victory of the Cole aero-eight il I the Havana race is one of the notab bl, achievements of the car in the last fev | months

 The road to the coast via Yuma is in poor condition. From Agua Caliente to near Dome. and considerable sand near Yuma. The road direct from Yu- ma to Fl Centro is impossible most of the time and the road from Yuma to Fl Centro via Niland is rough and slow
 Other routes to the coast are the Ehrenberg- Blythe road, the Congress Junction Yucca road and the Prescott Kingman road.
 Same as Parker Road
 The Ehrenperg- Blythe road is the same as the Parker road as far as Vicksburg which is about five miles north of Salome. here the road forks. the left fork runs very nearly due west through Quartzsite to Ehrenberg There is ferry Tt Ehrenberg and a few miles the other side of the Colo radO is Blythe From Blythe through Mecca to Riverside is a desert country with few habitations and compara- lively little travel
 There is some sand on the road and while it is considerably shorter. lt should not be attemrted by travellers not acquainted with the country as d breakdown on the road might be at tended with severe discomfort, not to say possible fatalities. For those who know the desert or where there are several cars travelling together. this road has it's advantages
 The Congress Junction road was re- gently logged by Harry Locke the well known Arizona and California road map maker who reported to tho Chamber of Commerce. that the road ! Hams Fork is in good shape Beyond, to Yucca, if is in such condition as to make it unsafe to attempt to go over it.
 Northern Route Longer The northern route. via Prescott and Kingman, is about 115 miles farther than via Parker. One crosses the di- vide at an elevation of 5000 feet or more. which means an ascent of ap- proXimately 5000 feet which must bc descended before crossing the Colo rado. The road for the most part is excellent and for those who feel that the cooler air and fine scenery is com pensation for the longer road. this route is preferable. The best time with fewer discomforts can be made via the Parker route.
 Of the roads north from Phoenix the Black Canyon road is considerably shorter and is most travelled. The las, rain has washed the road badly from (Continued on Page Two)

COST SYSTEM
 IF OPERA TING
 TRUCKS |S DUTY

Without a doubt the time has arrived when every truck owner is keeping an accurate cost system on the operation of his business Such cost system is not only a patriotic duty. but one that is vitally necessary to determine a fair rate to the shipper.
 "Up to a short time>ago a peculiar tendency on the part of motor truck owners which was in direct contrast to the principles practiced in other de- partments of their business was that of llXness in keeping accurate figures on what their motor trucks were cost ing them" says H. w. Nearpey of the kisselkar.
 Tt was natural that when business concern was considering replacing their horse drawn equipment with motor truck they first wanted to know how much it was costing present truck own CTS to haul and deliver their goods. Time after time we have not only sent letters with questionnaires to truck owners. requesting information on the
 
 goods with motor trucks. but have made personal investigations, and outside of a very small percentage, these owners were not keeping any record of their cost whatsoever.
 Looking up the reason for this con- dition of affairs. it appears that in the early stages of the truck business. the cost of operation was considered ex- tremely important, and practically every firm that changed it's horse drawn equipment to motor trucks. car- ried out a complete and accurate rec ord of expenses in order that they might determine whether trucks were more efficient than their former equip ment
 These records of cost showed con- 1 clusively that there was no compari- 1 son between the two. The evidence was so overwhelmingly in favor of mo l tor trucks, that the cost records were 1 soon neglected and considered unneces- : sary.
 | This same condition is true in g 1 great many instances at the present 1 time where the change from horses tC trucks is made. An owner of a truck starts out with the best of intentions ! to keep an accurate record of the cost l of operating. but as in the past, he is so surprised by the enormous work his | truck accomplishes, in comparison witt his former equipment, that he tries tC forget the inefficient manner in whicf his business had been operated for s, many years. The owner only require: short time for his figures to show that he cannot afford to operate Tn tn, old way.
 But today, owners realize that it i! a business essential to know to a penny how much it is costing to deliver load of goods or haul a ton of supplies Consequently every item in the opera ton and upkeep of his motor trucks i being as accurately kept as the operat ing costs of any other department

FARMING
 STATESP0SSES
 THE MOST CARS

Its a significant fact" declares Bert o. Brown, local Chevrolet dealer. that seven of the great agricultural states can lay claim to the ownership of nearly 30 per cent of all the auto mobiles in the country. Furthermore, it is surprising to note that not sin gle large city can be found in this group which includes: Missouri with 154.99S cars; Minnesota, 199, ,099; Iowa. 2S9,S0S; Nebraska, 14S,1OO; Kansas. 160 S09; Texas. f94.740; Indiana, 192,- 195: totaling, 1,339,749
 These figures fully substantiate the belief that the farmer has placed his stamp of unmistakable approval upon the automobile-that he truly appre- ciates it's economy, efficiency and util ity, as in relation with his particular requirements. It is ample proof that, primarily. the automobile is used as a utility.
 As a means of quick and economical transportation, he has found the latter day motor car an indispensable addi- tion to his equipment. The automobile is as important to him as his reaper. Its almost limitless scope of practical usefulness has contributed greatly to the efficiency and home comfort of tho farm For this modern mode of travel brings the farm within easy distance of the towns or villages where the farmer does his trading
 Indeed, the automobile has assumed such an all-important place in farm life-has proven of such invaluable as sistance in the conservation of time labor and money for every member of the family-that it is little wonder it's popularity and use is increasing in the rural districts.
 The introduction and use 0f the au- tomobile on the farm marked the be- ginning of more consistently profit able business ana an easier and more enjoyable life for those living in the ] country"

KEEPS LIN ROAD
 REGARDLESS OF
 MILEAGE L|M| I

Motorists who run their cars a few thousand miles and then begin to think aoout a new one should take leaf from the automobile log of Bert Nc Donald, who carries the government mail in Arizona, between Hereford, Ramsey, Miller and Garden Canyon. McDonalds route is not exactly bed of roses nor a paradise of boulevards, but he is more than satisfied with the way his machine behaves.
 In a letter to Bert o. Brown, local Chevrolet dealer, R. F. Krebs of Tombstone tells of the satisfaction Me Donald is having with the Chevrolet he purchased some time ago. Among other things Krebs reports. T sold d Chevrolet to Bert Mcdonald, the mail route man at Hereford. He runs to Ramsey, Miller and Garden Canyon. Mcdonald was looking at my demon strator yesterday, so naturally I tried to sell him O new one, as his own Chew rolet looked rather road stained and shot But there was nothing doing. Mcdonald led me around to look at his speedometer. and a total of 17. .G00 miles was recorded thereon. This has all been piled up in hard work day after day, but even at that Mcdonald says he won't want new car until next season. Another Chevrolet around here is approaching the 100000 mark. so Tombstone can show two cars of one model that have more than earned their way
 McDonald's record as an automo- bile owner is hard to beat Not only has his Chevrolet stubbornly refused to become acquainted with Mir. Repair Shop Owner, but it also has run along with a high mark for saving gasoline and oil. Although Mcdonald will not get a new car for some time. he is prospect" the Chevrolet dealer at Tombstone is not afraid of losing to some ambitious rival

REPUBLIC MOTOR TRUCK COMPANY
 HAS b|G OUTPUT

ITO increase production in spite of labor shortages is one of the most seri- ous problems of many industries today. yet there is one company, at least which seems to have solved the prob t lem. says C. E. Srombers. manager Southern Motor company. distributor here for Republic trucks.
 This company is the Republic Mo- tor Truck company of Alma, Michigan, which has consistently increased it's production from the time when they built their first truck five years ago.
 Tho demand for Republic trucks grew at an almost unbelievable rate until last year Republic built more than twice as many motor trucks as the next largest manufacturer. To keep up with this demand from year to year has made necessary the building and equipment of huge factories in rec ord time. And today the demand still continues to outstrip production facll- itieS and make constant improvement and enlargement necessary.
 "To further expand production and still make sure that the highest ideals of quality are maintained. Republic is carrying modern factory methods for ward to the highest possible degree of efficiency.
 "A perfected plan of progressive assembly has now been adopted so that five assembly lines of trucks in- the making move forward automatically without bacllaps or re-routfnS until they finally emerge from the paint oven for testing.
 Each separate unit of construction, as it comes from the foundry and ma l chine shops, goes directly to a specific point along the assembly line where it l is received by a group of men especial i ly skilled in the particular work they l are performing Overhead conveyors 1 carry the frames from the frame de- i partment to the head of the assembly lines where they are placed on convey Ors. operated by cable. and the truck starts on it's way to completion. Be- ginning with the frame, the truck-to- be stops at designated points along each line only long enough for the ap- plication of another unit. or units. and, at given time moves on to another group of highly trained men. In this manner. with each man and group of men skilled in the performance of the particular assembly at which they are stationed, the trucks move forward steadily until they reach the paint ovens.
 Even here the progressive idea con- tinues. A trip on the cOnveyOr chain actuates a hydraulic release which raises the curtain in front of the first paint drying oven forty seconds before the line moves and the truck moves into the oven as another moves out or the other side. In the same way they continue through three more similarly operated ovens in which further paint ing is completed with the most modern painting appliances known to the in- dustry.
 "In the last oven where the finisl varnish is applied the air is water washed to prevent the accumulation o1 dust and on all ovens thermostats keeI the humidity and heat at exactly tho right point necessary for best results
 This progressive assembly is jus one of dozens of efficient plans whicl have been introduced in. the Republic factories to save man power and meet the demand for Republic trucks tha continues to grow"

denonst stration

who operates an extensive ranch in Montana, made the trip at her own expense 10 Salina. 10 help boost the Avery tractors of which she has sev- eral at work on her ranch and to learn everything that is new about modern farming methods. Here in America the women on tractor Win soon be as much in vogue as the women in the automobile.
 The tractor has really proved life saver" so to speak, for the farmer. II he did not have the tractor to take the place of the rapidly increasing cost of horses and to fill the labor gap. he would be under a mighty serious handicap. Instead of blowing two or three acres a day. he now blows an acre or more every hour as long as he runs the tractor. And if he is crowded for time he puts on a headlight and with a night force runs the tractor all night if necessary.
