EXPANDING AT A SWIFT PACE
The Marathon County Motor Car Com
pany Constructing Large
Buildings

The Marathon Motor Car Co., of
which T. H. Jacob is manager, is just
completing a new building lying be-
tween the end of Fulton street and
the river, and Just across the st. Paul
tracks, which will be used for ware
house storage of Ford cars, Fordson
tractors, implements, trucks and truck
bodies. The company will also have
a complete repair shop in this build
ing, which will be 64X45. The entire
building is 165X64 1t is also putting
in this building a complete battery
department, which will be in charge
of an expert battery man with factory
training. This will be for the care
and repair of storage batteries, both
in use on Ford cars and all other
cars. The company has at this ware
house sufficient land on which to build
another building S5x64. The side track
will run the full length of this build
ing and on the other side of the track
it has property on which it can con-
struct another building, if the business
grows as it has, and which it will
probably need within a short time.
which building will be S5x25O.
This building is run in connection
with the company's garage at 203-210
Mcclellan ST., will give it better ia
cilities for giving prompt service to
the Ford users.
When the Marathon Motor Car COM
pany started in the Ford business in
1912 it Occupied the old Presbyterian
church at 20S-210 Mcclellan street.
As 1t required more room a garage
was built around this building. The
expansion of the business at Merrill
required the building of a new two
story brick garage in the center of
| that city, and where the company has
I its own side track. This is a very
complete and modern garage.
In Langlade county the company's
business expanded until it became
! necessary for it to erect a building
/ 120X65. which is two story in part over
/ which it has two modern flats, modern
i in every detail. This building is To-
Gated one block from the main street
! in the center of the city, in which
/ the company does a very nice business,
and has ample room for further ex-
| pansiOn.
The expansion of the company s
I business in Shawano county required
purchase of property, and which had
on it cement building so 80, two
stories. In this building three modern
! flats were constructed overhead. and
I although the town has no modern i'm
/ provements, there are in these flats,
| steam heat, hot and cold water, bath,
water works and a private water sys-
tenn and private electric lighting plant
| The company has more property al
this place for further expansion, for
if the business keeps up as it has
larger buildings will be required.

PRICES ARE LOWER
Recent Ruling is Issued by Federal
Food Administration

Under the present market conditions
prices on some commodities are on
the decline. Permission has been
telegraphed from Washington to the
state food administration allowing
dealers to sell below the prices auth
orized by the food administration.
Prices may go as low as the merch-
ants wish, but if they go above the
prices set by the administration, pen
alization will follow. Revocation of
license is the popular punishment for
profteering and the enforcement divi-
sion of the food administration ex-
poets to apply it to all firms charging
excessive prices during the coming
year.
Due to the efforts of the food admin
istration, the wholesale prices of all
the staples have been kept from soar
ing, and seven of them, including pota-
toes, flour and sugar, have actually de-
clined in price.

The following, in reference to Rev.
william J. Taylor, who has accepted
call as pastor of the First Univer-
salist church. is taken from "The Oak
Parker" published at Oak Park, ILL.,:
Five years ago Oak Park was elated
over the intelligence that Rev. William
J. Taylor. an eloquent orator and rare
scholar. who had served three years as
major on the staff of Gov. David NJ.
Clough of Minnesota, was coming to
take the pastorate at Unity Temple
During these five years DR.. Taylor has
never disappointed his parishioners,
who have associated him with the
highest force of ideals. He has gained
and retained their love and respect, as
only a man of his remarkable per-
sonality and uuerring Christianity is
capable of doing in a large cOmmun-
ity. The news of his departure for
other fields is a matter of deep regret,
not only among the people of his
church, but with the tOwnspeOple in
general, who have come to regard
him as warm personal friend and
an interested, loyal citizen, and the
best wishes of all follow him into his
new surroundings.
Of Mr.. Taylor, who's Who in
America" has this to say:
REV. William }. Taylor, the son of
Benjamin and Hannah (MOnaghan)
Taylor and a descendant of a long
Quaker parentage, was born in Mime

To begin with. you Will admit
That the life of the motor is

machine.
The HooYcr is equipped with
Robbins & Meyer motor that Is
entirely enclosed, thus making
Il absolutely dust-proof.
It is unnecessary for ne TO
explain the superiority OF tho
robbins & Meyer motors. They
are generally recognized ss the
oeSt constructed motor lin the
world. This motor costs the
hoover Co. as much Ss the en-
ure cost Of manufacturing OF
many other vacuum machines.

PAY is TOO SMALL
Nothing but Honor in Kansas
Legislators Job, Claim.
Salary Paid SOlOnS Lower Than
Amy State but One.

Kansas with an assessed valuation
that is surpassed by only five other
states in the Union pays the members
of her legislature less than any other
state except Oregon, whose wealth is
only about one-third as great.
There is nothing but honor connect
ed with the job of being a Kansas
senator or member of the Kansas
house of representatives, it is asserted.
The clerks of the senators and repre-
sentatives receive as much money as
they do-three dollars day-and the
assistants around the postoffice and in
other places have as much coin to
fling at the birds on pay days.
whether sr not an effort will be
made to put thru measure at the
present session providing for a con-
stitutional amendment increasing the
pay of the solons has not been di-
vulSed, but it is the unanimous belief
of all that they should receive more
money. The only thing that makes a
member hesitate is the fear that his
people back home may not take kindly
to the idea of a raise in remuneIa-
ton.
Three dollars a day makes the most
careful lawmaker. skimp and scratch
to keep from going in the hole while
in Topeka where he has to rent
room, buy his meals and send shirts to
the laundry, or pay postage on them
when he sends them home for wife to
wash. 1t is asserted that many men
who are highly qualified for seats in
the legislature are kept from seeking
them simply because they cannot af-
| ford to live on the per diem allowed
| those who are elected.
Illinois, a state with a property val
uation a little less than that of Kan
sas, pays her senators and represen-
| tatives $500 per session. And Kan
sas pays those who make her laws
only $3.50 for 50-day session! Ken
lucky, with a property valuation less
than half that of Kansas pays her
senators and representatives ten dol
| lars per diem; New Jersey pays hers
| $500 annually; Texas solons receive
five dollars per diem and the law
makers of Alaska receive fifteen dol
| lars per diem.
| Several states like Illinois. have a
| fixed sum that they pay the senator's
and representatives per session. In
California they receive $1,000 per
term; in Connecticut. $500; in Colo
RADIO, $1,000; in Maine. $500; in
Ma ssa chusetts, 81, 600; and in Pennsyl-

JACK MERCER MAY RUN
Petitions Urge Machinists' Manager
for City Water Office

Based on the assurance of Commits
sioner F. NJ. Newland. that he will
not enter the campaign for reelection
as commissioner of the lights and
water department, friends of Jack
Mercer. manager of the Machinist
Electrical company, are circulating
petitions asking for Mercer to run for
the office. Altho Mercer seems to be
following the tactics of other eminen.
local politicians in not saying any
thing to commit himself, it is the opin-
ion of his friends that if the petitions
are successful in demonstrating that
he can count on the support of a suf-
ficient backing, he may consent to
come into the water ring and get his
feet wet.
Mercer has lived in Topeka most of
his life, and is we'll known as one of
the best electrical man in the state.
He is a member of the Electrical Con-
tractors National association and of
the National Association of Stationary
engineers. Men interested in pushing
Mercer into the campaign for the job
Of commissioners say that he is prob
ably one of the best qualified men in
the city from the standpoint of tech
nical and mechanical experience and
knowledge to tackle the job of
running the water and electrical
departments, especially since the
water department is so obviously full
of questions which it seems impossible
| to solve without going out and getting
the assistance of men trained in en-
gineering and mechanics.
Mercer has been assured of the alb
solute and unqualified support and
backing of several large and influen-
tial organizations in Topeka.
