No greater triumph has come to the Dort than this steady rise in popularity in the South.
 Naturally we are intensely proud of the way the Dort is winning the South's good will. The circle of Dort owners is widening and extending itself with persstency that can be accounted for only by the very unusual value that the car does represent. It is an interesting situation because, as you know, buyers today have become exceed ingy motor wise.
 Furthermore, the South comprises one of the world greatest automobile markets. So this Dort popularity in the South can be construed as nothing short of undeniabe proof that the car is actually remarkable investment.
 It is, first of all an alert, agile, graceful car that handles with delightful ease.
 Unusually long springs, staunch frame and restful upholstery combine to make it fatigue-less car to drive.
 The simply designed, powerful Dort motor pulls with smoothness and delivers full power to the wheels all the time.
 The Dort construction throughout is so accessible that service can be given any part very readily and inexpensively.
 The entire assembly of the Dort chassis re- fleets the deliberate effort of the Dort engi- neers to keep operative and upkeep expense at the very lowest point.
 Whether you are mechanically inclined or not, you cannot help approaching the Dort fabrication system.

Costly Parasites.

A New York legislative committee examining
into alleged combinations by which the cost OF
building has been enhanced discovered the other
day labor organizer, the president OF the Build
ngs Trades Council, whose fees paid by members
OF one union out of several he represents exceeded
$4,000 year. How much he received from other
unions, how many agents OF the same sort
charges upon the building industry OF New
York has not yet been made public.
But lest people rush hastily to the conclusion
that it is such exravagant exactons upon the part
OF organized labor that has cut down building until
there has ceased to be sufficient shelter for our peo-
pie we hasten to call attention another fact clio
tied in the same inquiry
A lawyer was discovered to whom all bids for
plumbing, steam heating, and limestone construction
submitted for consideration and approval. He
paid per cent the gross business OF his
clients, and one OF the three organizations employ
ing him did business exceeding 100000 last
year. The statement OF the other associations has
not yet been published.
This attorney does not profess to advise to
the legal soundness OF the contracts. He has never
been plumber any other sort OF mechanic, and
hardly pass upon the sufhciency Of the bids
prepared by experienced men in those trades. The
purpose OF his mediation is obviously to keep all
bidders advised of each others figures and to main
tain prices by preventing competition.
The lawyer for the combination OF New York
building contractors and the organizer for the COM
bination OF workers in the New York building
trades seem in the present rather depressed state
OF productive industry the lucky dogs. Their pros
perity is reflected in the lack of houses in Gotham
and the extortonate rents paid ior those now ten
anted. How many such parasites preying alike
upon the worker and the consumer nobody can
tell. Beyond doubt they plentiful enough to add
materially to the high cost OF living

AN ANCIENT WILL.

Nelleius Blaesus, a man of con-
sular rank and remarkable for his
Immense wealth, in his last illness
was anxious to make some altera-
tions in his will. Regulus, who
had lately endeavored to insinuate
himself into his good graces. hoped
to get something from the new
will, and accordingly addresses
himself to, his physicians and con-
jures them to exert all their skill
to prolong the poor mans life.
But after the will was signed he
changes his character, reversing
his tone: How long" says he to
these very same physicians, do
you intend keeping this man in
misery? Since you cannot preserve
his life, why do you grudge him the
happy release of DEATH
Blaesus dies, and, as If he had
overheard every word that Regulus
had said, has not left him one
farthing.-Pliny in a letter to Cal
visius.

Build Mechanical
 Dairy Because of
 Pasture Shortage

Washington, Sept. 28. - Lack of pasturage for dairy cattle in the vi cinity of Nitro, West, Va., resulted in the establishment at that war-built city of a mechanical dairy"where milk and cream equivalent to the out put of farm with i 500 milk cows was produced, according to govern ment report just published. Bottles and cans of the fluid were labeled "reconstructed" milk or cream and "nitrolac."
 Accommodations for 25,O00 inhabi- tants were provided at Nitro; schools, churches, hospitals, department stores, restaurants, and all the oth- CT clements of modern well-equip- ped community being part of the project. As 9 construction problem lit was comparatively simple, but of ficials began to strike snags as soon as they approached the task of in suring a supply of staple foodstuffs particularly of fresh milk.
 Nitro is situated in. mountainous district where little, if any natural iuasturage is available. Local mill Supplies were barely sufficient to sat ! ;dfysths normal demands of Charles town, the nearest1 metropolis. Ex pansion' of the natural supply beini out of the question, the public healtl service was asked for aid and th' first "mschsnieal dairy" resnlted.
