SO much is the fact that the Packard Com

Packard Trucks for Immediate
Delivery
Packard truck production has been con.
tinuous. The only change from 1907 war
work is that formerly the Government took
practically the full production, and now
part of the production is available for the
public.
The Packard truck building organization
is the finest in the world We have kept it
free from the decentralization of hasty proc.
esses and the over-strain of high. pressure

If anything, it has been strengthened and
improved during the war period, and the
standards Of material and workmanship
even more rigidly maintained.
Mem Efficiency Test for
Packard Trucks
Another Packard truck efficiency test is

time, to save repairs.
Prize money aggregating $17,6OO.oO has

THE PACKAR
RESUM]
Cal
NXAN that the famous Twin
EIsM N Six Packards are to be
kNE1sA vi available shortly after
SSsN the first of the year, is
welcome news to Packard dealers
and to thousands of waiting pur-
chasers.
Events Of the past year have done
more than any words Of ours could
do to fix Packard ascendency in the
minds of the thinking men of the
world.
The principle of the Packard
Twelve-Cylinder Engine is estab>
lished before all men as the most
advanced and practical develop
mentin modernmotorc construction.
Getting Back Into Production
When the Packard concern stopped maxi
ing passenger and went 1907
work, it had on hand finished parts the
value of six million dollars.
These parts were all of the finest material,
finished in the careful painstakng way of
the Packard organization. No compromise
quality, no slightest lowering of standards
owing to difficulties in the material situation
the speedingup process
Whatever the pressure or conditions, this
organization knows but standard Of
quality, and that is the best.
1t will be clear to all that the possession Of
this stock of finished parts enables us to
sumo production more quickly and smoothly
than otherwise would be possible
No Change in Packard Prices
Packard prices based cost of ma
teral There rise in Packard prices
during the war period based what the
traffic would bear. There is no lowering of
quality and consequently leeway for
duction of price at this time.

have right to expect from its service.
Packard Aircraft for Commercial
or Passenger Purposes
Since hostilities ceased, business America
has not had time to standardize its aircraft
needs. The Packard Company is not maxi
ing stock airplane, but has department
to execute special orders, or to advise and
figure with Transportation Companies, the
Government, or private individuals.
AS originators of the motor from which
the Liberty Motor was made, and as pro-
ducers of the most advanced type Of airplanes
for the Government, the Packard Aircraft
Engineering Department may be said to be
in position of first authority and to offer the
most complete and practical department now
available for the development Of airplanes
i'm this country.
The Packard Organization as
Transportation Specialists
Whether Of passenger or freight, and
whether by highroad or air-route, this whole
question of transportation is one we are
treating with intensive specialization.
What with problems of reconstruction,
the certain and enormous expansion of bust
ness, the additional strain ON already over
taxed and inadequate railroads-with no
immediate prospect of railway betterment-
there is crying need for special study and
analysis Of all other factors and means of
service.
No subject before the business world is of
more vital importance. 1t is one too often
thought Of in the round, and treated in
vague, general terms.
AS individual problems become more
specific and acute, it will be found of prac-
teal help to discuss them with the Packard
Company, who probably possesses more new
data on transportation than any other con-
Germ in America.

Westyilian Sees
Change in Town
Former Prominent Wet Sympathizer
Now Believes Ousting Saloons
Was Good Thing For Place

One of Westvlle's most prominent
and influential citizens, whose SYM
pathies and sentiment was decidedly
with the wet elemnet prior to July l.,
when the wartime Prohibition law
went into effect, was a business Wis
itor i'll Danville yesterday. Speaking
of the remarkable change that has
come about i'll that city since the
saloons were forced out of business
he said that business was a great deal
better in all lines, and that there was
no way to measure the moral better
mcnt since the saloons were no more.
He sighted as an instance that for
several years he had known man
who barely eked out an existence
lettering about the grog shops and
had become regular saloon bum.
Only few years ago he said that
this young man was enjoying the
comforts of happy home, surround
ed by wife and children. Strong
drink got the better of him and the
once happy home was broken up, the
children scattered and the wife died
from a broken heart and worry over
her husbands continued dissipation
Passing this man on the streets in
Westville the other day, a wonderful
change was noted Instead of being
the slouchy, bleare-eyed saloon bum,
he was immaculate in a new suit of
clothes, clcanly shaven and holding
his head erect. He was on his way
to church. There are other similar in
stances, he said, but this one made
particular impression on him.
He also said that business had in
creased almost double at the post
office and be believed that this was
true in all lines. Not a single arrest
has been made i'll the city, he said.
since the saloons went out of business.
Prior to that time there were all the
way from twenty TO forty arrests
every day. The police force now con-
sists of the day and night man. For
merly there were eight police officers
and they were kept busy preserving
the peace of the village Asked if he
still favored the licensed saloon he
said:
Indeed | do not, and there would
never be drop of liquor made if my
vote could prevent it."-Danville

Only Two Drunks
Taken This Week

An otherwise clear record for last
week was broken yesterday afternoon
when Henry O'Leary, an East St.
Louis lad who is still wearing his
soldiers uniform, and a stranger,
were gathered in by Patrolmen Gar
vey and Meehan for being drunk.
The men were in an ally in the rear
of the c. F. Short moving and storage
establishment on Broadway. Both
were far gone, in fact the stranger
was so badly muddled that he could
not remember his name and he was
booked as John Doe. The men would
not teii where they got the liquor
that put them down.
These two are the only drunks to
come in contact with the police for
the whole week. They will be held un-
til they sober up and then will be
given a chance to tell it to Judge
Clark-East St Louis Journal.

COURT HOLDS
BONE DRY LAW INVALID
North Dakota's Bone Dry Law Fails
to Get o. K. of Higher Court

The Supreme Court of North Da-
kota on July % ruled that the bone
dry law passed by the 18th General
Assembly of that state was not legally
enacted. The opinion was handed
down in the case Of the State VS.. John
Schultz. Schultz was convicted in
the lower court of bringing liquor
into the state in violation of the bone
dry law. He appealed on grounds
that the act was not legally passed
and the Supreme Court upheld that
contention, the lower court being re-
versed.

compared with 202 during a similar
period last year.
In July of 1918, the races were
about equally divided there being 92
white and los colored. This year
there was a marked reduction in the
proportion of whites, 100 negroes be-
ing arrested and only 90 whites.
The greatest reduction, as would
be expected, was in the number of
drunks, the total falling from 90 last
year to II during the past month.
The number OF disorderlies nearly
held their own, due to the large num-
Der OF negroes who indulged in pro
fame language calculated to provoke a
breach of peace"

This months total OF arrests was
boosted considerably by the cam
paign against traffic violators. Twen-
ty-one were brought into court. on
this charge this year, while there was
not an arrest for this offense during
July 1918.
The state cases were tripled this
year, there being IS arrests for rob-
berry, against FIVE last year. Several
of those picked up this year were
later found not guilty, however.

More Money Available

Moreover, there will be beneh-
cial effect on the public at large, as
there will be a greater number of
men who will be able to buy life in
surance. With Prohibition in effect,
there will, of course, be no hard
drinkers, and there will be more men
who will be able to protect their
families by life insurance and thus
add to the economic progress of the
country, because in many cases the
life insurance will keep families to-
gether and provide for the education
of the children, where without life
insurance families would be broken
up and individual members become
public charges without chance for
the children to secure the education
necessary for their proper develop
ment.
"The larger insurance companies
have for many years refused to ac-
cept life insurance on the lives not
only of heavy drinkers but also on
the lives of those engaged in the liq-
uor business. With the liquor busi-
ness thing of the past, this will
again enlarge the prospect field. The
result of the passing of liquor should
be more and better risks in the life
insurance business, and in the long
run it should mean that people will
live longer Chicago Post.

Fewer Men Take Time OFF
DIR. ii. NJ. Guiford, city health COM
missioner, said it is too early to look
for any improvement in vital statis-
tics or in general health conditions OF
the city as result of the dry regime.
Fewer men have laid off" on city
work than usual, said Nels Munson,
timekeeper for the city engineers de-
partment. This is a good showing.
in view of the big rush for high
wages in the harvest fields and the
large number OF transient workmen
due to returned soldiers temporarily
in the CITY,"
Judge Thomas H. Salmon of the
conciliation court, noted a change in
his work. 1--WE usually have many
cases." he said, where complaints
are brought of small bills unpaid, and
evidence shows the man owing the
bill drank up the money. We have
had very few of such cases arising
since July l."
Many New Bank Accounts
Savings banks report healthy in
crease in deposits and a number of
new accounts opened since the lst Of
July, much of which is attributed to
the dry regime.
We began noticing the change
July ST. said I. F. Wallace, treasurer
of the Farmers and Mechanics Saw
ings Bank. so many came in to open
new accounts or increase former de-
posits that we had to detail extra men
to wait on them"
The Hennepin County Savings
Bank reported a good increase run
ming for some time and a number of
new accounts, but found the improve
ment was noticeable even before
July /.
The state Institution for Savings
reported more than 100000 increase
in its accounts during the month.
The Minnesota Loan and Trust
Company officials said they have not
only had a good increase in savings
deposits, but have had a remarkable
business in small sales of securities,
doing more business in this line than
for any summer in their history.
Bad Accounts Reduced
Appreciable falling off of bad ac-
counts has been noticeable among
Minneapolis merchants since the ad-
vent of Prohibition, according to S.
L. Gilfillan, manager of the Mime
apolis Credit Exchange. Mr.. Gilhllan
said he expected the number of bad
accounts to be lessened more materi-
ally during the next few months.
"The merchants of Minneapolis
who are members of the exchange
lose less than onefourth of per
cent in bad accounts" said Mr.. Gil
fillan. "The stores of the city do a
credit business annually of more than
$25,000,000. Their losses are now
negligible. Prohibition will undoubt-
edly cut even these losses"
