COLE POPULARITY
 IS DUE ID RACES
Argentine and Uruguay Are Enthusiastic About the
 Aer0-Eight

Much of the Cole Aero-Eighfs popular ity in South America may be attributed to the remarkable record that it has made in recent road races held in Argentine and Uruguay, according to R. Borrat Fa- bini, Cole distributor in Montevideo, Urti- quay. Mir. Fabini is an enthusiastic auto mobile race follower, and he has entered a stock Aero Eight roadster in all of the road races that have been held in and near Montevideo. E. Blanchardi, popu- lar South American race driver, has pill oted the winning Aero-Eight in all of the races, and he has bettered several South American records.
 Among the most recent races held in that country were the 200-mle road race, held under the auspices of the Argentine Automobile Club of Buenos Aires, and the 120-n1ile road race between Monte video and Minas. A large field of en- tries, including some of the best cars of American and foreign make, competed Tn these two events, and the Aero Eight finished first in both. Early in both of the races several of the cars were forced out on account of broken axIes, sprs.gs, etc, as the roads were in the worst-of condition. In spite of this fact, howe Dr., the Aero-Eight finished the 200-nile run in four hours and thirty minutes and the 1N-mile event in two hours and thirty minutes, establishing two new records.

DEMAND FOR AUTOS
 IS NATURAL RESULT
 OF TWO CONDITIONS
Period of Under-Consumption During War Creates Longer One of
 Buying Capacity

The tremendous demand for auto mobiles is the normal result of two things first, an exceedingly short sup ply, and second, new class of pur- chasers in addition to those former owners who want to replace their old cars" says M. k. Christian of the Chris tian-Lovelady Sales Company, local Kissel distributor. -'
 Automobiles are in class by themselves and the long period of un- der-consumption during the war is bound to create 8 correspondingly long period of Buying activity after the war, and is this period that we are just startiL. .r on.
 During inc war owners who were in the habit os buying new cars every year, made thel4 ears last for two and three years, and .sain. people who had never owned automobiles before, are now by reason of practicing econ omy during the war and increasing their efficiency for greater earning power, are now in a position to satisfy natural desire to own cars.
 The result is the present over-de- mand for every car that can be pro- duced and it will be sometime before this shortage is made up. Consequently the purchaser of today will do better to place his order for delivery when it can be made, rather than to wait until the supply Is such that he can get quick delivery"

Twenty four days will be spent on the road, with four Sunday stopovers. No driv- ing on Sunday will be scheduled. The tentative route is 2.500 miles.

 The contest is to be what is known as grade 1 class K. under special rules prepared by the general manager, contest board. and approved by the latter organization. The routing will take the contestants through the most fertile agricultural district of the United States; through Nebraska, Wyo- ming. Colorado Kansas. Missouri Iowa and South Dakota.

AUTOS BIRTHPLACE SHIP THAT WON
 IS BRUSHED ASIDE RENOWN NOW SCRAP
Haynes Cottage At Ko- komo, Ind, Is Moved to
 Another Part of Town

The little cottage in Kokomo, Ind, where EIwood Haynes conceived and developed America's first car. has been brushed aside by the relentless march Of progress. Uprooted by it's founda- tions by uncaripg workmeR the humble birthplace of the present gigantic hum ble American automobile industry was set on rollers and removed to an out of-the-way part of the town. where it
 is destined to lose it's identity and be- come merely thing of wood and plas- ter, renting a so many dollars month. instead of being looked upon as one of the historic landmarks of the na- tion.
 But even though the recollections of hffitrleatshrdluenue eta of the little frame building will die out with the passing of the present generation. yet the results of the events that transpired in that cottage some S6 years ago will be gouged deeper and deeper into the industrial fabric of the nation as. the years slip by. Because it is a certainty that the automobile industry. already the third ranking industry. will continue to ex- pand and grow and become of even greater import in the daily life of the country than It has today
 And just as Elwood Haynes aas risen from position of ridicule to one of emfnence as an inventive ge~ njus of national achievement, so has bis notable invention. Americas first car has been elevated from a thing of scorn and contempt to one of mar- vel and wonderment. For nine years after it's creation it was scantily housed in a rude shed in the rear of E1wood Haynes home. Now it is a valued exhibit in the Smithsonian Tn- stitute here in Washington, the prop erty of the United States government, where hardly a day passes that small groups of interested sightseers do not stop to compare it with the magnifi- cent ears that crowd out city streets today.
 The story of the invention and con- struetion of Americas first car by Elwood Haynes. like that of Fulton and the first steamboat is an oft told tale, smacking of ronahnce and reflect- ing the spirit of youthful America struggling to succeed and eventually scrging ahead of the old world in in- dustry and commerce through the un- tiring efforts. resourcefulness and courage of it's sons. such as Fulton, Bell, Carnegie and Haynes

MOTOR TRUCKS ID
 HAVE A CONTEST
Reliability Run of 2,5OO Miles Is Scheduled Out of
 Omaha Next June

Manufacturers of motor trucks throughout the United States stand un- qualifiedly in support of any measure which means progress to the motor truck industry. All are willing to do their share toward the education of the public to the benefits of the motor truck. All are particularly interested in anything which will educate the American farmer to the use of the mo- tor truck.
 These facts have been brought forth more prominently than ever in the responses received by the managers of tho first national motor truck re- liability contest to be run out of Oma- la next June. under official sanction Of the contest board of the American Automobile Association. The Bee Pub- fishing Company, underwriters of the event and donors of the Omaha Bee trophy. the main trophy for the con test. have been very much encouraged by the general response of the manu-' facturers. This response has come from manufacturers ~ho have been active in the field since the start of motor truck manufacturing. 1t has also come from officials of truck asso-

FARMER GETS INTO TRUCK BUSINESS AS
 RESULT OF HIS OWN

There are many ways of getting into the automotive equipment selling business. but the experience of Mr. F. F. Silver, of CantriI. la, is unique
 Mir. Silver is breeder of fancy dogs. owns one for which he refused s25,ooo, and operates big farm.
 Some months ago he decided that a motor truck would help in the running of the farm. and he purchased a Model II Republic truck from the Consigny Motor Truck Company of Des Moines
 MT. Silver wa sso impressed with the work of the Republic truck on his farm in reducing hauling costs that he has gone into partnership with Mr. Cox and has taken the agency for Re- public trucks in the territory around Cantril.

The American Legion has just
closed it's second annual convention at
Cleveland. The attendance at the
gathering was large, and the pro-
ceedings were interesting. One fea-
ture over which there was an Animal
ed contest was the attitude OF the
organization toward union labor and
toward labor disputed generally.
After spirited debate the decision vas
reached that the Legion should not
participate in labor disputed as such.
Individual members are at liberty, Of
to choose their own course.
but the organization is committed to
non-interference.
Difficulties are being encountered
in the proceedings undertaken to con-
form to the agreement made between
the large meat packers and the fed
eraa department of justice relating to
the disposal of the stockyards inter-
ests owned by the five great packing
companies. These companies formu7
lated a plan for the sala of their in-,
terests to a Boston banking firm, the
ultimate purpose being the resale
to private purchasers. The plan was
to tender this stock to farmers and
stock raisers, so that in time the
stockyards inc related properties
would pass into the ownership of
producers. This plan, on being sub
mitted, was rejected by the attorney
general, but no substitute was offered
by him, and the situation therefore
remains as it was.
