ROPER BUSINESS
 BEST IN HISTORY

Roper of the R. D. Roper Motor company reports the biggest weeks business that he has ever had since he has been in the automobile busi- ness. Ten brand new MaXwells and Chalmers and ten of the Roper Re newed Road Runners for the past week, from July to July 13, when We are supposed to be having our dull summer season, forever eXplodes the theory that Phoenix and the Salt River Valley lets business slide dur ing the summer months said MT. Roper.
 Tt is so different from former years when we took it for granted that the summers were dull that We cannot help remarking about the rad ical change in a business way that this valley has undergone. Our sales this last week nearly double any one former weeks volume and we confi- dently predict a continued rush of business right through the summer and fall season. Getting delivery of sufficient Chalmers and Maxwell cars are our problem at this time but we are bending every effort to get our allotment.

Oldsmoble Hints
 Offered By Dealer

The Ferguson -Keeler company of fer the following suggestions and hints to Oldsmobile owners:
 Poor operation of the starting mo- tor dim lights or flicl1ering lights are often caused by poor connections at the battery. If any green deposit ex- ists at the battery terminals, unfasten the cables. clean them and coat them with vaseline, then bolt tightly in position.
 Always carry spare spark plugs so that when plug fails to function properly it can be replaced at once and thereby prevent the continual drawing in and exhausting of un- burned fuel which, naturally, is not good for the working parts in the cylinder. A ready method of locating the faulty spark plug is to let the en- zine run fairly slow with retarded spark, and grasping the wooden handle of a hammer or screw driver, short or ground the terminal of the spark plug by touching the hammer against 1t and the top of the motor casting If the plug is functioning properly this will cause the motor to limp ever worse than before. When one locates the faulty plug "shorting will not pro- duce any different action in the motor as the plug is already completely out of action.
 Transmission and rear axles arc often filled with grease where as our instruction books call for oil When having these units taken care ot specify that heavy motor oil be used in the transmission up to the level of the plug on the left side through which 1t is filled. Also specify that the real axle be filled with heavy gear oil uI to the level of the plug on it's real cover These units are designed to be fabricated by oil and it is an injustice to the car to use anything else.

TRACTOR FLOWING
 CHAMPION SHIELD
 GOES ID FORDS0N
(From the Nottingham Guardian, Not

(From the Nottingham Guardian, Not
 tingham. England-May II, 191S)
 A telegram was received on Tuesday evening by MT. Myers, the representa- tive for the county of Holland. from the food production department, stat ing that the Fordson tractor, Serial No. F. 69, had won the all England cham pionship for the period ended April ,. The news was all the more pleasant as the tractor only arrived in the country at the end of the first week, when the competition was started. and there fore, was handicapped by loss of five days out of the month, which is the period of the competition.
 The tractor commenced working on the Crown Colony at Holbeach on the 14th of March, and was working there until the 27th of March. It then jour neyed to Chas. Bowsers farm in Hol- beach Marsh, and afterwards to George Caudwelrs farm at Fosdyke, where it finished the months working.
 During the three weeks and two days the tractor was in commission, it ploWed, cultivated, etc, 47012 acres, and the amount earned was 4 142 1Ss. The paraffin consumption was , 6-7 gallons per acre.
 l The tractor was WOrkeu Dy two SOlO- | iers Pte. J. w. Potter and Lance Corp oral E. Jones both low category men who had been trained ill the county and who previous to this, had had nc | experience in the working of tractors | Great credit is due to these two sold | iers, who worked F hours per day, in cluding Sundays.
 On Wednesday afternoon, the two soldiers. F. Myers, the tractor repre- sentative, and w. R. Wintour, the ma chinery officer journeyed to Londoi for the presentation of the champion ship shield which took place at tho | food production department by the di rector general Sir Arthur Lee, who als' | presented the men with two silver re plicas of the trophy. The shield is fine work of art and bears the follow
 ing inscription, National Food Cam

PLENTY OF GAS
 + NOT WASTED

"One more false alarm has received an official quietus in the statement is sued by the United States fuel com mission on the subject of gasoline, ," says George H. Reubens of the Kissel Auto company of Phoenix, distributor of the Dort car here.
 Mark L. Requa, director of the oil division. says that there has been plenty of gasoline for all requirements and will continue to be enough for normal purposes, providing it is not wasted"
 MT. Requa makes a few timely sug- gestions worth repeating and remem- bering:
 Do not use gasoline for cleaning mechanical parts.
 Studiously avoid spilling, leakage and evaporation.
 Do not let engine run when car is standing.
 Have a carburetor adjusted to give largest possible mileage per gallon
 Adjust brakeba nds so that they do not drag: keep all bearings well fabricated and tires fully inflated.
 Keep spark plugs clean, have ignition correctly timed and drive with spark well advanced.
 Do not accelerate. and stop quickly; avoid high speed; stop engine and coast along hills
 Avoid aimless and unnecessary use of cars; do a number of errands in one trip; carry purchases home in the car to reduce deliveries by stores.
 Combine with neighbors and friends in use of cars.

PLENTY OF STEEL
 SAYS PAIGE CHIEF

Reports of a steel shortage and gloomy prophecies of serious crip bling of the countrys industries there by are flatly denied by Harry NJ Jewett, president of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company.
 As a matter of hard cold facts and figures" says Mir Jewett, 'it has been easier the past six months Or year, for that matter. for us to get steel than it was a year ago when we were running al our largest production of motor cars.
 Any of the steel mills will tell you that. not only has the government plenty of steel right now for any gov ernment war-program. but there is a surplus of steel more than adequate to take care of the normal needs of the country's commercial industries
 "All kinds of wild rumors are afloat these days. We have heard stories of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car company combining with other big companies to fill government war contracts. But you can record this as an authoritative statement, that thF Paige company has not been sold. will not be sold and will not enter into any combination to manufacture any products that the Paige is not manufacturing now.
 Just how improbable such stories are is shown by the tremendous addi- tions the Paige Detroit Motor Car company has recently made and is still making to it's already huge plants and equipment. As just one item.-our floor space alone has been practically doubled in the last four months.
 These expansions of our manufac- turing facilities are, of course, to take care of the diversified business which the Paige is now doing These Paige plants, which now spread over two city blocks, are no longer making merely motor cars. Of course, our first job is to get out this stupendous work for the government, not merely on time, but ahead of time-and that is what wt are doing, too, right along.
 "In volume, in dollars and cents, the Paige business today is about one hun dred per cent larger than it was wher we were running our full production schedule of motor cars.
 Now, with a full line of trucks il production and tractors very near tn, manufacturing stage. you can see tha every inch of our floor space, ever, machine ard every man in the Paig employ is being utilized to very vita purpose.
 "'The Paige has too much big worl ahead for a good many years to thinl about selling or combining or merging We are doing pretty well as it is."
