Overlooking OF TRUCK is
UNNECESSARY AND INJURIOUS

"In the merchandising of motor
trucks" says M. C. Hays of the
Southwest Motor Sales Company,
the local Nash dealers, "the con-
fidence of the buyer in the dealer
from whom he is to receive service
and in the factory that stands back
of the truck, is no less important
than the owners confidence in the
truck itself. Confidence in an organ
ization can be established only by
fair dealing; it is imperative, there
fore, that from the outset there be
perfect frankness on the part of the
dealer.
There have been instances where
statesmen guarantee trucks to carry
as much as one-hundred per cent
more than their rated capacity. If
their trucks could do this it would
be good business for the prospect to
buy them.
"But a guarantee of this kind in
reality amounts to nothing for the
following reason: The tires of
trucks are not guaranteed by the
truck manufacturer but by the tire
manufacturer, and he absolutely will
not stand back of his tires if the
truck is overloaded.
"The standard guarantee given by
truck manufacturers covers the re-
placement Of parts which prove de-
fective-not which wear out, but
which break thru some defect. Prac-
tically all trucks have a capacity
plate in some prominent place CIV
ing the rated capacity and speed and
warning the owner that the guaran-
tee is voided if the truck is over
loaded or overspeeded.
"The manufacturers guarantee
covers period Of three months in
most instances, tho in some it is one
year, but never more than that. Ev-

MOTOR CAR STANDARDS ARE
IN HANDS OF CONSUMERS

at is within the power of the mot
oring public to make automobiles
measure up to their requirements"
says Ed Smith of the Liberal Buick
Co., local dealer in Chevrolet pas
senger and commercial cars.
"The success of any automobile
depends on the degree to which it
gives purchasers what they want and
need.
'In buying car see that you get
all that your money calls for. If you
are not a judge of mechanical con-
struction find out from owners what
service their cars afford The testi-
mony of not one, but many owners,
is necessary to establish a reliable
reputation. The reputation and re-
sources of the manufacturer are
guides to the qality Of the car.
"Service and economy are the
chief points to be considered.
"Of what use are all the comforts
and conveniences Of equipment if the
car itself doesn't stand up? What
enjoyment is there in them if the
car itself is a continuous extrava-
gance?
complete satisfaction can only be
experienced with a car that not only
includes every essential of modern
equipment but which affords depend
able and inexpensive performance.
"These are the standards by which
a car should be judged. Purchasers
can secure cars that measure up to
them if they insist upon it.

MOTOR TRUCKS AN ECONOMY
That What the Farmers Are Now
Using to Haul Grain and
Livestock.

Inability to get cars for moving
the wheat crop, farmers are now re-
sorting to motor trucks. And the
motor truck that went so far toward
winning the war now is playing a
big part in saving the crops.
Harry Gregory Jr. of Pratt the
other day started with his truck at
2 o'clock, hauled 100 bushels of
wheat, making the trip each way in
one hour and ten minutes. He
charged the farmer SIS for the
round trip, which beat hitching up
the mule team and spending a whole
day on the hauling. The next morn
ing pulled in 800 bushels of wheat
from another farm to a Pratt ele-
vator.
Motor trucks are hauling live
stock, too. Monte Harris, another
Pratt man, took truck load of
hogs to the stock yards at Wichita,
and he received $104 more for them
than he could have on the local
market.

TEN MILLION CARS BY
NEXT YEAR PREDICTED
That's What 1t Looks Like Now, Ac.
cording to Goodrich
Statistics

One car to every two households
by next year.
Ten million cars in the U. S. A.
That's what figures just made
public by the Goodrich statsticans
indicated. These figure sharks have
just completed a count of the motor
vehicles of America and are look
ing forward conservatively to 49,
100000 cars in 1921. This means
approximately one car to every ten
persons, or figuring three and one
half persons to family, one car to
every two households. Your chances
of having a car in the family are
therefore 50-50-one in two.
The Goodrich count on automobile
and trucks now in operation is based
on official figures from every state
in the union. The registration of
motor vehicles for 1919 was 1885,
269 and for the year 1918 was g.
023, 605-an increase Of 1851, 664-
gain of 26 per cent. The increase
of 1918 over 1917 was % per cent.
All dealer and motorcycle regis
trations have been carefully deduct
ed, The figures present the first
complete authentic report.
An analysis of the figures disclose
that five states have more automo-
biles and trucks registered within
their individual confines than the en-
tire continent of Europe. These
states-New York, Ohio, Illinois,
combined registration of 2,445,536
80 per cent of the entire coun-
try's registration.

AUTOMOTIVE NEWS NOTES
Owners

satisfy yourself that the car you
decide upon is fully equipped at the
start. But above all make sure that
the motor and other vital parts of its
construction are such as to insure
you dependable, economical and last
ing service in return for your invest
ment. By doing this you will advance
the standards of the industry and
benefit the motoring public as a
whole"

Checking Recall
List Under Way;
Backers Confident

The task OF checking approximately
1000 names signed to recall petitions
directed against Mayor Paine and Com

committee having the work in charge
Monday. There is every indication that
the petitions win be filed with c. c.

week, with nearly three times the re-
quired number OF signatures.
A source Of information, known to be
authoritative, Monday. declared that
hackers of the recall were ready to
prove the oonstitutionality of the re-
call law but that II there was an In
dication that the matter would be
dragged through the courts for period
of months that immediate steps would
be taken for filing custer proceedings
against all of the commissioners.
In round numbers there are approx
mately IL, 1000 signatures on the petit
tlons and Monday these names were be-
ing checked against the registration
hooks. Those names OF persons who
are not qualified voters are being
stricken from the lists and when the
petitions are flied, hackers of the move
ment believe that there will be less
than 1000 names that can be thrown
out by the city clerk

AUTOMOBILE RUINS p.
!. EXCURSION BOAT LINES

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 20. (By
International News SerWce.) - Puget
Sound steamboat lines are being hard
hit by the automobile. The lat
ter is doing to the ordinary
steamboat much what the jitney
has long done to the street car. Fully
one-third of the Puget Sound passen-
ger packets are tied up-have been
since early summer. With the advent
of the automobile and it's ever-increas-
ing number, steamboat excursioning has
become less popular. The cross sound
lines, particularly those plying between
Seattle and the Navy Yard, continue to
do good business but the traditional
Sunday excursion up and down the
sound and through the island reaches
of this great arm of the sea no longer
appeals. The auto ride over the lake
encircling boulevards and along the
highways, county, state and national,
through the enchanting scenery of
mountain and stream, has taken
its place and the prosaic steamboat re-
mains tied at its pier.

Peeling the Skin Is

Ever since the discovery that ordi-

remove a discolored complexion it's use
by ladies as substitute for bleaching
creams has grown rapidly. A perfect
complexion can be maintained indefi-
nitely if this remarkable substance is
used. Its beneficent cleansing, clear
ing and preservative action Is quickly
apparent, and ladies who have been
paying high prices for Especial bleach"
from beauty specialists, soon recognize
that mercolized wax outranks them all.
1t has become SO popular that it can
be obtained at all druggists, who have
it in original, one-ounee packages. The
favorite way of using is to apply 1t like
cold cream before retiring, washing it
off in the morning.
The saxolite lotion for wrinkles and
flabbiness has also become extremely
popular. One ounce of powdered saxo-
lite is dissolved in one-half pint witch
hazel. Bathing the face in this has a
remarkable effect in erasing wrinkles
and in improving contour. adv
