100000 PEOPLE ENGAGED
IN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
Approximately 2 Fer Cent OF Topula
ton Derives Its Living From
This H%usfnesh.

Some idea OF the magnitude OF tho
antomotlve industry can be gained
from the fact that 500. 900 workers arc
engaged In the production and distri-
button of motor cars, parts and ac-
ccssorics. This mcans that approx
inately 2 per cent of our population
derives It's living from the automo-
tive industry" says Major Monte
stone. OF this city. Last year This
number Of workmen produced 1850
900 motor cars, Il remarkable degree
or productivity fer any industry.
The manufacturing facilities for
passenger cars Ion represent an
investment OF considerably more than
a billion dollars. and perhaps twice:
that mount Is Invested In the manu-
facture of tires. parts and accessories.
This immense industrial organization
represents only a little less than ?
per cent OF our national wealth. The
automctive industry is indeed a vital
part OF our Industrial life.
Tho remarkable growth Of tho au-
tomobile industry has its foundation
In the absolutely essential uses or
the odcrn passenger car. Just as
they arc essential in business, the In
dustry. which produces them is also
essential. ~
1T ii interesting to know that If
every automobile in the country were
en- the road at the same time. ther.
would be three motor cars for every

MOTOR TRUCK EQUIPPED
FOR DENTAL PRACTICE
Scranton Demonstrates Oral Hygiene
uad Perform Work for Public
School Children.

An unusual sale of a motor truck
has just come to light. The Scranton
distributor OF the bethlehem Motors
Corporation recently sold a Model *.
chassis to the city Of Scranton. This
chassis Is being equipped with a
special body which will be provided
with a dental chair. : instrument
cabinet. running water. and all of
tho sanitary convenienccs of a first
class dcntal office. The travelling
dentist Will make all Of the schools
OF the city. travelling constantly.
q campaign promoted to show the
value of oral hygiene will go on
throughout the year. After examine
lions of the scholars those i'm need
OF important dental work will be
taken out of the school and TO the
truck where expert work will be
done. Tho pupil will then return to
the classes. The sale OF this truck
Tor the purpose was brought about
by a bethlehem salesman who ia
credited by w. G. Clay. assistant gem
eral sales manager OF the Bethle-
hem Motors Corporation, with I'M
usual head work. Mr.. Clay believes
that this sale is commendatory, due
to the advertising which will be re-
ceived by tn, company. He points
to the fact that this is the day OF
unusual ideas. application, ingenu-
ity and what Ia known as head
work.

APPERsON CAR PRICES
WILL NOT Be REDUCED
Present Figures Are Guaranteed to
Stand Until July
4. 1921.

The Apperson Bros. Automobile
~inpan Of kokomo. Ind, through
an announcement today stating their
Views on the price situation.
Apperson prices VIII not be re-
huced." states Mr.. Apperson. The
rrG1ent prices arc guaranteed until
July. 1921. and there Is little 1ikeli-
hood OF there being any change then
unless 1t is sto increase them"
When questioned for further in
formation. MIR. Apperson had this to
say OF the present situation:
The price OF any piece Of mer-
chandise Ia based on the cost OF raw
material plus the cost OF labor. and
overhead to which Is added IL fair
profit.
Now the greatest cost Of n motor
car is labor. That has not come
cost is material. Neither has this
item budgcd downward. In fact.
during the asst twelve months the
cost OF raw material has gone up.
II n motor car manufacturer was
getting an inflated price. OF ctJrse,
he had to come down just AZ sugar
did.
But tho vast majority of high
Grade motor car makers have found
it utterly impossible to reduce their
prices a single cent.
This Is because they werc getting
fair prices and not making a penny
more than they should make.
Already some OF those makers
who reduced prices are a%d vocating
"a return>to higher prices after Jan
uary 1. Several just Increased their
prices. So. In my judgment. the SEN
sible thing for the American public
10 do Is TO buy their motor cars now.
Undoubtedly> prices Will not be re-
auced-on the contrary. they might
have To be Increased, SO waiting
might prove costly.
III there is anybody who doubts
my statement as to the nonrcduction
OF the cost Of raw material during
the last twelve months. I would like
10 show them some OF our cost sheets.
The figures would prove an interest
ing Yurprisc.
Thus in conclusion want to en-
phatically state for the beneht not
only OF tho motor car Industry. but
TOT the public az well. that the cost
OF maxim fine motor cars Is not
decreasing nor IS there any imInc-
Glate decrease In sight"

TOWNLEY BLASTED IN COUNTY
DEMOCRATS IN FIGHT AGAINST
SOCIALISTIC RULE
FORGOTTEN

Old Stearns county made a most
remarkable showing at the election
polls last Tuesday.
With, previous record OF Demo-
cratic strength, the voters of this
county marched to the election
booths this year and rolled up I'M
heard of majorities for all Republi-
can candidates on both the state and
county tickets.
Senator Wssen G. Harding was
given the handsome endorsement OF
1856. votes while his opponent, the
Democratic Cox, polled but 1876
votes.
]. A. o. Preus, Republican COVER
nor elect, polled. 1887, Hodgson
Democrat, 1852 and Shipstead, Nom
partisan, 1921.
The Townley factions in Stearns
county hade an exceptional tight
for Shipstead. Leaders from botn
Todd and Pope counties made cam.
paigns through Stearns in behalf OF
of the independent ticket and
one large meeting was held IN Sauk
Centre, but "a spite of their efforts,
the voters of Stearns held true to
American principles and fought So
eialism to the last ditch.
The only Republican defeat in the
county was that of Anthony krak-
or of Melrose, Republican candidate
for the Legislature. Kraker was de-
feated by T. ]. Flahaven OF Getty
Nonpartisan candidate for re-eiec-
ton to the lower house.
A rather surprising feature OF the
day was the vote polled in Stearns
county by the Socialist Debs. In
the city of Sank Centre, Debs re-
eeived one lone vote, but in the coun-
tv as a whole, he polled BIG votes.
These ballots were cast not to elect
Debs, who being federal prisoner
at the penitentary at Atlantic, could
never hold the office, but as pro-
test against the principles OF the con-
stitution of the United States.

that the fight was not one Of party
but one principles, and casting ASIDE
