A TRIBUTE

Mr.. L. L. Stair of Newburg was elected as
speaker of the House of Representatives at Bis
marck the first of the week by his fellow men,
bers. This is the highest honor that could be
conferred upon a representative and shows the
high esteem in which Mr.. Stair is held by his
colleagues. To Mr.. Stair The Courant and the
entire NOnpartisan electorate of Bottineau
county as we'll as the state, extend congratula-
tons. He has always been a hard worker for the
Nonpartisan cause and we venture will fill the
the chair of Speaker Of the House in a manner
that has. been excelled by none.

The new year has progressed far enough to give the makers of automo- piles an idea of what to expect in the way of business. Optimistic predic ti0ns are already being fulfilled and there is every reason to believe that the industry will enjoy one of it's most prosperous periods.
 q believe 1919 is going to be banner year" says Harry M. Jewe:t president of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company "Our company has or ders for spot shipments for everything we can produce in the next ninety days. with additional orders piling in.
 "I have been making the rounds of the shows held thus far. In Chicago they have never held a show in which the interest has been so keen and so genuine as was proved in actual sales By that l mean that never be- fore have there been so many people who have come in, laid down their money and taken the cars away
 Our Chicago agents reported that during show week deliveries for retail trade were the biggest they had had in fifteen weeks For January this is exceptional. as this month is generally low Tn actual retau safes. from ln- formation I have at the present time, | know that practically all the motor car companies are enjoying the same conditions.
 There are many factors influencing this demand for cars. It must be re- membercd that during the last two years of the war many owners of mo tor ears who were in the habit of buy ing mo wear each year. or who really needed ne wear. put off the purchase for patriotic reasons or for financial reasons. due to the demands of war activities like the Liberty Loan. Red Cross and other money raising cam paigns. They arc now ready to buy.
 "Thousands. also who might never have been automobile buyers, are now in the market because of the big money they have been making Then there is the general feeling of relief which gives sale an impetus. There are no more worries no more won dering about what is to happen. The shackles are off.
 Tn consequence of this. our pro duction for the first ninety days cf this year should about equal the first ninety days of last year. and after that it will materially increase"
