MOREY FOR MORE|
 SERVICE :.

c. A. Mercy. banker for thirteen years, recently assistant cashier of the Phoenix National Bank, is thoroughly cOnversant with the necessity for more service" A tire house has serv ice to sell in the same quantity in which 8 bank has service to sell. The watchword of any successful bank is service, likewise the watchword of any successful business is service.
 Confidence has a great bearing in the sale of any article. If a purchaser has confidence in the seller he has con- fidence in the article. Realizing this We have endeavored to handle stand ard lines of tires that will give abso- lute satisfaction. We can conscien- tiously recommend any tire advertised on this page, knowing that in every in stance you will obtain in miles the equivalent of your investment. If at any time such is not the case we will deem it a favor if you will tell us.

FAN BELT TROUBLE

In cases where the fan belt develops trick of constantly flying off or breaking, the natural suspicion is that the pulleys are out of alignment.

WILL REFRAIN MORE
DISABLED SOLDIERS THAN
ANY OTHER COUNTRY

Basing the statement of American
veterans needing retraining on the ex-
perience of Great Britain, France and
Canada, we would have only 10000 ia
apply, or per cent of the total mum
Der of our disabled.
3O,316 have already sought this pri-
vilege, and thousands more are ex-
pected by the Federal Board for Vo-
cational Education to claim this right.
There are two probable reasons for
this: Our provisions for support are
more attractive than the other coun-
tries and may tempt the men to take
advantage of the opportunity to be-
come vocaionally proficient. The youth
of our boys, for it is to be remember
ed that the American Army was made
up almost entirely of young men, rem
ders them keener for education than
the older men who composed the mass
es of the armies of Europe and who
before their army experience were set
tied in a business career.

ENGINE GOES DEAD

There is certain degree Of mad
ness which we can feel on only one
occasion. Perhaps that same degree
of ill-temper is felt by the motorist
who happens to be caught out in a
car without a selftstarter when the
engine 'sgoes dead" in the midst Of q
miniature lake. So much to explain
the degree of our feeling. This yet
peeve is to go down the street and
hear some man who never gave a
dollar to the community, who never
gave anything to improvements but a
wet blanket, apologizing TO some
stranger for this town, when if he only
knew the truth about it. the town has
been apologizing for him for the past
ten years, and justly too. There is
probably something fundamentally
wrong with our makeup or the irony
of the situation might get thru our
skin and make us feel like laughing
instead of like wanting to blow up like
a volcano. But thus it is and we ap-
preciate your allowing this bit Of lava
to pour over you.

horse traction down to the latter year. A
number of years before the expiry Of the
lease negotiations were opened for its re-
moval, but strong feeling in favor Of
the nunicipalization OF the tramways
arose in the city, and on Nov. IL, 1891,
the corporation, under the powers which
had been conferred by the act Of 1870,
determined to undertake the workings Of
the system. Long before the company's
lease expired, the corporation had begun
inquiries regarding the best form Of me-
chanical traction, but the tramways be-
ing in the hands of the lessees up to the
final day of the lease on June 80, 1894, \
a start had perforce to be made with
horse traction. In 1891 parliamentary
powers had been obtained to use me-
chanical traction, and committee which
was appointed carried out an elaborate
series of investigations and visits to Eu- 4
rope and America, in the course of which
every known method of tramway was
carefully examined. Finally, the over
head system of electric line from the
center of the city TO Springburn, extend
ing to 21a miles, was equipped on this
method, and was opened for traffic on
OCT. l0s 1915. 30 satisfactory were the
results, even during the first two months
working that on Dec IS it was decided
to adopt the overhead system for the
whole of the city. By the summer of
1901 the equipment of the whole sys-l
tenn was completed and the last horse
cars had disappeared by the end of April.

GLASGow'S TRAMwAYS.
The Development and Success of the
Scottish City's Municipal Undertaking.

No municipal enterprise inaugurated
by Glasgow corporations has attained a
wider celebrity than the tramways I'M
dertaking, which on July ! reached its
semi jubilee. It's constant development
and great success have during the 25
years of its existence attracted the at
tention and ELECTED the admiration not
only of the municipalities of the United
Kingdom, but of those abroad, and es-
pecially in America, where its reputation
has been as familiar as at home On
July /, 1894, the corporation formally
entered into possession of the tramway
system and began to work it on behalf
of the city. The corporation was com
PEELED to start with fresh horses, ears
and buildings, and a new staff and equip
ment, nothing having been taken over
from the retiring company since no
agreement could be arrived at with re-
gard to price AT that time the system
extended to 81 miles of route measured
as single track, whereas the average
track mileage (single open during the
year recently closed was 1861. In the
year, ls9495, when, however, period Of
only II months was included, the pas
sengers numbered 57,l04,6 47, and the re-
ceipts were 22ll,2l pounds. For the
year just closed the passengeS numbered
484 ,246, 677, and the traffic receipts
amounted to l,527,4S pounds. To give
statistical conspectur of the % years
Of the existence OF the tramway depart
ment it may be mentioned that from
July |, 1894, to May 81, 1919, the pas
sengers carried numbered 5,700,S07, 1S4,
the mileage run was 34s,635s07, and
the revenue was 20,237 $50 pounds.
The tramways in Glasgow have always
been the property Of the citizens. When
tramways were first constructed in this
country attempts were made by two syn
dicates to get parliamentary powers to
lay down lines in Glasgow, but the cor
poration opposed the application. An ar
rangement was made whereby the two
bills which were being promoted were
amalgamated, and they became law in
1870. By the agreement arrived at the
corporation was entitled to take over
the act within six months of the date of
its passing, and this it did The sys-
tenn was leased for 20 years, from 1871
to 1894, to the Glasgow Tramway and
Omnibus company, who worked it by

The Coal Situation.

Statistically, the coal situation is one
that causes apprehension. The total pro-
duction of the country thus far this sea
son is not equal to the requirements, and
unless there is a speeding up there will
be trouble. There cannot be speeding up
unless buyers place their orders in adj
vance in order to keep the mines running
to capacity in ordinarily slack times.
The labor situation is also causing some
anxiety, because large numbers of min
ers have gone back to their home coun-
tries after having made what, to their
home folks, will seem like fortunes
These are all facts which anyone who
cares to inquire into may substantate
to his entire satisfaction. There is, how
ever, another angle to the situation. The
applicable of these facts has been made
applicable to the whole country, when
they should have been applied only in
specific localities The intentions were
good, but the individuals who had the
handling of them may have lacked the
technical experience to make the best use
of them.
The greatest trouble appears to be
with bituminous coal, and while the
same factors apply in limited degree to
anthracite, there is sufficient difference
in conditions to make explanation neces-
sary, and this was not done. Unfortu-
nately, it has given opportunity for the
sensational press to indulge in Mysteries
and to unnecessarily inhame the public
mind. Only distorted imagination or a
willful desire to distort and misrepresent
the facts can find anything harmful in
asking the public to buy coal early.
There is nothing new in this PROPOSE
ton. For years it has been the custom
to reduce coal prices in the spring and
gradually raise them until the maximum
is, reached in the fall in order to encour-
age consumers to anticipate their winter
requirements and to keep the mines busy
during an otherwise slack period. There
is no crime in asking the public to do
this by public advertisement. That these
advertisements should have been more
specific and adapted to localities is ad-
mitted, but error of Judgment is never
a crime. Later advertisements will no
doubt make the situation clear to the
public and in the end no harm will have
been done in focusing public attention
on situation that should be carefully
studied.-New York Commercial
