Stevens Motor Attracts
Attention Along Auto Row

The Mid-City Motor and Supply
company announces the arrival OF
one of the new Stevens coupes.
This model is now displayed on
their show room floor and is at
tracing a considerable amount OF
attention. ~
The Stevens motor is subject
of more or less comment on the
automobile row due to its unusual
abundance of power. 1t is a six
cylinder motor designed by the Mo-
line Plow company engineers. The
Stevens Motor Works is subsi-
diary company. 1t represents the
automobile division, of the Moline
Plow company.
Added to the unique engineering
principles embodied in the Stevens
motor is coupe body which from

Fitting Bearing.

In replacing a bearing on 4 front
wheel spindle on which it is a tight
fit many owners slip the bearing
onto the taper end of the spindle
and then put on the wheel and use
it as a hammer to drive the bearing
home. This is great mistake. The
bearing is likely to be injured, par
ticularly is the hardened shoulder
of the inner case likely to be broken,
as it is intended for wear and not
for sudden shocks of this kind.

October Biggest Month
In Cadillac Production

"The month of October recorded
the largest production for a similar
period in the history of the Cadillac
Motor Car company" says Lynn
McNaughton, general sales manager
of the Cadillac, Nevertheless, the
reports from our dealers, and dis
tributors make it plain that even this
huge output fell far short Of sup
plying cars to all those who wanted
them.
1T is gratifying to us that this
should be the state of affairs; but at
the same time, it is somewhat en-
barrasing. 1t seems to be a con-
dition which we are powerless to
remedy, no matter to. what volume
we build up our production"

Tire Carrier.

When it is necessary to carry an
extra tire on the Ford runabout, the
prop rest, which holds the top when
it is folded back, may be turned up
side down and the strap be used to
hold the tire. The top must be left
up when this is done or one side will
be apt to rattle. To fasten the tire
to the running board, holes should
be drilled and straps run through or
chains and padlocks as theft pre-
venters. If the tire is strapped at
two places about foot apart, it
will be held much more firmly.

Dirty Muffler.

A dirty muffler is 4 distinct cause
of power loss. When the construct
ed passages inside the muffler be-
come clogged up with carbon a
back pressure is set up and the en-
CINE has to work against this force.
Tap the muffler with = hammer sew
cral times, then start the motor and
blow out the loosened carbon. On
occasion the rnuffler should be taken
apart and all the parts scraped
clean, after which it may be as
semh1ed again.

DEMAND FOR ALL
CL OSED AUTOS
IS INCREASING
Record Of Production for the
Year to Fall Down Be-
cause of the Late
Start.

Notwithstanding the great strides
that the industry has been making
during the past few months, motor
car production this year will not
exceed 100000 vehicles because OF
the small number produced during
the months following the signing OF
the armistice, according to Alfred
Reeves, general manager OF the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, who has just returned
from trip among the factories in
Michigan and Indiana. Present pro-
duction Is at the rate of approxi-
matefy 100000 vehicles a year,
which was about the 1917 average.
This includes both passenger cars
and trucks, the latter figuring about
II per cent OF the total number. He
reports a demand for closed cars
far beyond supply, with continu-
Gus demand for passenger cars and
trucks. Because of the need for
conserving time, the whole country
is buying automobiles. thus Offset
ting the poor service which is being
given by trolley lines and the rail-
roads. Big road improvements were
noted in Michigan, Indiana and
Ohio.
New Things for Show.
Almost all the manufacturers will
have some new things to show at
the New York show which opens in
New York on January 3. They will
be largely in the line of rehnements,
but with here and there some very
radical changes as a result of what
was learned in the building OF war
vehicles and airplane motors.
There is an increasing demand for
buses for use in cities where car
service is poor with a growing de-
mand as winter approaches, for all
types of trucks.
Hogs by Trucks.
At Indianapolis, all records were
broken last Tuesday when o,S0o
hogs were brought in by motor
trucks, or 1850 more than the
former high record. This was 1000
more hogs than were delivered on
the steam and interurban roads. 1t
required some 500. vehicles to, haul
the supply. some of the trucks COM
ing so miles. The total value OF
the hogs hauled was $500, 600.
Mr.. Reeves says exports are in
creasing, the products of the auto
mobile industry now going to some
81 different countries. At present it
is not more than S per cent Of the
total business, but with almost un-
limited possibilities in the future.

The Lasting Colors.
Experts agree that the most serv-

iceable colors for painting the car,
in point of lasting qualities, freedom
from peeling, cracking and similar
ills, are dark blue, dark green and
dark red. These colors are even
better than the conventional black.
And here is another tip for the
amateur painter: oil the floor OF the
paint room so that dust will have a
tendency to stick to the floor in
stead of rising to get on the body

the conclusion that the Grant line
represents a real value in automo-
tive circles. Big plans are being
formulated for the coming season
and according to Mr.. Lewis the only
thing which can stop the materiliza-
ton of these plans is a fall-down
on the part of the factory in their
nrnductinn schedule.

good common sense ought to lead us
not to repeat in our lives that which

The first thing we notice he was

come and go and pass from the stage,
il Is a matter of tremendous impor-
lance to the reputation and to the
welfare of the state of FLORIDA whether
her laws shall be administered in an
impartial, able, just and fearless way.
In other words, whether this great
state shall have a government that is
consistent with her greatness, one
that no citizen need be ashamed of,
and that is the kind Of government
that 1 am more ambitious to see es-
tablished at Tallahassee, than am
to be called the governor of Florida.
So that anything you may do to help
to establish this kind of government.
will entitle you to the gratitude of
every patriot in the state, and of gen.

/ believe that we are now facing a
great crisis in this state, and that the
danger which menace law and order
is no imaginary danger, but real one,
and unless the thinking people of the
state handle the situation cooiiy and
courageousiy, we will inevitably be
plunged into a vortex of anarchy and
Bolshevism, the outcome of which no
one can predict.
therefore, feeling as / do about the

Every train reaching the city brings
more oil men. The reason for the sud
den rush is the wonder well of the
Standard Oil Company in Claiborne
Parish which came in Friday flowing
at an estimated rate of from 1000 to
1900 barrels. This well was drilled
by the Standard Oil Company at 29-9l-
on the Guy Oakes lease.
The production was struck at 2.O92
feet at what is believed to be the Wood
bine sand. This deep test is forty miles
from the nearest deep strata in North
Louisiana field.
Reports from the field say that the
well filled n ,000.barrel tank in forty
minutes, which would give it a daily
production, if maintained, of SO 600
barrels per day. In the estimation OF
pioneers in the field the well is the
largest ever completed in North Loui-
siana.

heights. One piece of land which might
