Roy L. Daily, chief prohibition en-

Washington for a final ruling on
whether or not it is illegal to use or
transport liquor for the purpose of
launching ships. In his opinion, using

 USED CARS
 F R o M U s? For the same reason that in buying clothes, you go to an established clothing house; when buying fur niture, to a concern which has a reputation for sell ing good furniture. The automobile business is no different than other lines of business in this respect-that it pays to deal with concerns which have been in business long enough to establish a rep utation for fair dealing with customers.
 This company has been in business, under the same management, for over nine years. We have sold considerably in excess of ten thousand automobiles, new and usad rctail and wholesale, to residents of Alabama.
 We could not possibly have handled such a vol ume of business unless we had started With the rlgnG business policy; unless we had started to furnish to our customers good mer- chandise, at right prices, and such after-service as would be satisfactory to them.
 We have built up a repu- tation as good automobile merchants. We would not for the world jeopardize that reputation. It is our ambition to keep build ing-and to do that, we must keep faith with our trade.
 When you purchase a Used Automobile from us, you are assured that we sell it for just what it is-- without buncomb. Our ad- vertising tells the truth about such cars as we have to offer.
 It will pay you to watch o1 classified advertising for really attractive bargains in good used cars.

narketwas in state Of collapse
owing to a series of agricultural
bank failures i'll North Dakota and
all extraordinary combination OF
other depressing circumstances, The
long, downward plunge Of other
prices, which then eliminated, had
been taken advantage of from time

realized until today that the total
OF foreign buying might ultimately
prove excessive.
If figures that were current among
dealers turned out to be near the
truth, the export surplus in this
country has now been reduced to
100000 bushels, total of l5,O0O,
900 bushels less than the aggregate
ordinarily on hand when new har
