vanced from $50 to SAP a ton. Com
mon labor has advanced from Al
cents an hour to SO cents an hour,
while skilled labor has gone up to
$1.1O an hour The men are also ask
ing for seven hour day with the
same pay as for the eight-hour shift.
These conditions have brought pro-
duction to less than 80 per cent of
normal"
Mr.. Ahrens stated that the opinion
was general in the eastern states,
where the. dealers are closer in touch
with the manufacturers, that the
prices of machines would be raised
within the next 80 or so days. Also
all the leading manufacturers are
looking for a further big increase the
first OF next year.
The biggest crop ever in the his
tory of the country will be har-
vested this year in the middle west
ern states, including Kansas, Ne
braska, and Missouri" Mr.. Ahrens
stated. Consequently, there will be
plenty of loose money and a cor
demand for motor cars"
The automobile distributors have
been urged to do away with all I'M
necessary dealers according to Mr..
in anticipation of the scar
city of machines.
Despite these conditions the Ste
phen production continues in fair
shape, Mr.. Ahrens claims, as the
Stephens plant has not been hard hit
and is now shipping so cars every

self from battery repair bill
Through the courtesy of Mr.. E. c.
Hall, the local Willard Storage Bat
terry dealer, we are able to publish
the instructions on the use of a hyd-
rometer as sent out by the Willard
Storage Battery company.
The hydrometer has scale gradu-
alton in the upper part of the tube
ranging from 1.150 to 1900 with .O05
graduations and reads correctly at
70 degrees fahrenheit. A fully
charged cell should read about 1890
and a completely discharged cell
should read about 1.150 specific gra-
witty, both of which numbers are
marked by red line on the scale.
The Hydrometer test should be
made before distilled water is added.
If distilled water is added and then
the test is made, the reading will not
be correct.

PREDICT RAISE IN
AUTOMOBILE PRICES
PRICES OF CARS EXPECTED TO
ADVANCE WITHIN 80 TO so
DAYS 1T is SAID

SPOKANE.=Owing to labor troub-
les and trade conditions, prices on
practically every make of automobile
now manufactured will increase 5000
or $4,000 within the next 80 or go days
according to Don Ahrens, of Ahrens
and Ahrens local distributors for the
Stephens and Oakland automobiles,
who returned yesterday from an ex-
tensive visit through the manufacture
ing districts of the East. He stopped
at Chicago, Pittsburg, Freeport, ILL.,,
and Gary, Ind.
STRIKES at the big Thinker fac
tories have had large part in de-
moralizing the industries of the
East" said Mr.. Ahrens Similar
strikes are constantly occurring and
recurring until, with the great adj
vances of wages that have been
granted the men, it has become nee
essary to advance the prices of the
machines. These prices will range
widely. There is one popular make
of car the price of which will be
increased by $4,000 within the next
so days.
''Showrooms in Chicago are prac-
tically empty, the machines are so
scarce. 1t is the same way all over

FROM WAR TO PEACE IN
THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

AS single industry the automobile
trade did more than it's bit to help win
the war Not only did manufacturers
come up to specifications in quantity
and quality of delivery, but they built
better than was thought they knew
how. Proof of this was given the other
day when, at an auction of old army
cars in France, the French and Eng
fish bid higher prices for the cars than
they cost the American Government
new. An army of men was employed
to run these trucks and cars on the
firing line. They gained more expert
ence in month of that sort of work
than they could have gained in a life
time of peace work.
The rolling stock will be left abroad,
but the men are coming back. They
are being released daily from the mill
tary service and are returning in
large numbers to civilian life. There
is no lack of work for them to do. For
the fleet of American trucks now
coming into use for additional trans.
portation facilities all over the coun-
try need just such men-men who
have learned how to act in any en-
Urgency, who feel almost Immediately
the idiosyncracies of every motor,
who have acquired an efficiency under
shell-fire that will make them leaders
in their work in peace times.
Col. Arthur Woods, Assistant to the
Secretary of War, who is in charge of
the employment work for ex-serv-
ice men, announces that a number of
such men are now available for pri-
vate employ. The automobile in
dustry will not lose this opportunity
of obtaining men who, to their pre-
war ability, have added the exception !
al training and experience of months
on the firing line. These men will
be in demand, and can be obtained
governmental and welfare |
agencies, who will put
them in touch with employers who
need their service.

Ford Car Turns Turtle.

An automobile accident occurred
Sunday night about 1870 on thu
grade this side of the railroad cross
ing Just out of Uniontown, when thu
Ford driven by P. F. Mulalley, anC
carrying as passengers Misses Mar

eGehrke, turned turtle.
The lights were not working vel
and Mr.. Mulalley stopped to light the
small side lights. When this had beer
done and the car again started a large
car came from the opposite direction
binding Mr. Mulalley and instead OF
making the turn in the road, he drove
straight ahead and over the bank and
the car turned over, pinning the oc-
cupants underneath. Harry Edwards
was the first to crawl from under the
car and he managed to raise it so that
another of the occupants could get
out and then Mr. Mulalley was re-
leased and the car finally righted.
All of the occupants were more or
less shaken up and cut and bruised
but are all able to be about again
with the exception of Miss Martha
Hasfurther, who received some very
bad body bruises and badly wrench
ed back, and Miss Geneva Jacobs,
whose side was quite badly hurt
The car had the top and wind shield
broken, a fender bent and front
wheel sprung, but otherwise was I'M

BARLEY CROP
YIELDS IS BUSHELS

B. c. Parmenter, near Joel, has just
finished cutting 10 acres or volunteer
barley that yielded 35 bushels to the

acres of it was left to see what kind
of crop it would make. Albert Shoe

eight horses. The yield is regarded
