WNTON SIX IN
FIRST showing
PROVES FINENESS

One Of the newest models OF fine cars
on display for auto show week is that
Winton Six, shown by the ehickasaW
Motor Car company, 1913 Monroe avenue,
In their showroom.
Says c. W. doysr, manager:
This splendid car offers new proof Of
the supremacy OF the siX-eyllnder mo-
tor. With less than six cylinders q mo-
tor lacks continuous power; and with
more than six cylinders its multitude
and complexity Of parts increase trou-
Bile, annoyance and repair bills-as
many owners well know.
Simplicity is the keynote Of the Win
ton Six, Hence II stays In tune and
gives satisfaction that lasts not for
weeks, but for years, And this is I'M
portant; II mas no noisy overhead valves,
no complicated wiring system and no
weighty mass Of batteries undergoing
constant decay.
Its power Is abundant. Nothing is
more annoying than TO have a motor
that Is always laboring at its limit.
Nothing is more delightful than TO have
all the power you need. and TO knew
that your motor will not limp or bank
when put 70 difficult tests.
or all lus-powered cars. the Winton
Six Is known to be easiest on tires.
This Is due to its freedom from surplus
weight n is aCcurate balance. Low
center Of gravity and weight correctly
distributed on tou wheels cause the
~Winton Six to travel steady at all
speeds, Its wheels track straight,
steering l. easy, passenger comfort Is
sure, and tres give more miles.
Especially pleasing are the roomy
seating spaces and the form-fitting up
holstery. Comfort is, after all, abso-
lutely necessary to happiness; an I'M
comfortable car is a distressing nerve
i%rritant. Hence the r~estfulness Of the
Winton Six makes 1t a particularly de-
sirable car to own.

How prohibition laws are threaten
ing the safety Of the automobile In
dustry was brought out IN the eonclud-
ing session Of the directors OF the Ma
tional Automobile Dealers association
who convened here several days ago,
according TO a bulletin issued by Harry
O. Mooek, secretary.
The prohibition menace 10 the dealer
has been brought about through the
fact that in numerous dry states federal
revenue agents have confiseated auto
mobiles carrying liquor. In a majority
OF these cases the cars hav been sold
by the dealers on conditional bills OF
sale. After the cars have been seized
they are either sold or destroyed, the
dealer is deprived OF his a and In
many cases Il is impossible to recover
he balance due OF the purchase. This
procedure has been upheld In the United
States circuit court Of appeals for
Georgia despite the fact that the dealer
had no knowledge of the purpose for
which the automobile was 10 be used.
Cases also are pending In Colorado,
Washington. Virginia and California.
The directors made n pledge of 'ade-
quate financial" support to the Georgia
dealers fighting this case which will be
taken to the United States supreme
court and If they lose there the Ma
tionRl association will take steps TO OBJ
tain a repeal of the law In congress un-
der which cars are confiscated.
One Of the most serious features OF
the confiscation is that the federal re-
serve banks are considering a proposal
TO refuse TO rediscount automobile deal
ers' commercial paper when cars are
sold on such conditional bills Of sale, II
has also seriously impaired the ability
of car owners to insure their cars.

HOW SNAKES HELP FARMER
Valuable to the Tiller Of the

Snakes are valuable asset and

zine. The article goes on to show
what the snake does for food conser-
walton by ways of killing rodents and
insects, the greatest enemies to grain
that man knows. The public HAS be-
come acquainted with snakes as never
before, writes Mr.. Norton, because Of
the thousands who have been engaged
in the campaign for war gardens that
has been conducted by the national
emergency food garden commission.
with this summer the millions Of
war gardens have given the snake pop
ular interest. Tremendously increased
tillage has brought people and snakes
together.
Unless much education work is
done the number of snakes that will
be killed next year by the well-mean-
ing but misinformed gardeners will be
very large. Our snakes are a national
asset worth many millions of dollars
and should be conserved. The rela-
ton they bear to successful crops is
important-mOre important than even
the average farmer realizes"
