BUSINESS GOOD
SAYS M'KNICHT
President of Overland Great
Falls Company Looks for
More Standardization.

Business in the automobile line WIN
be the best in the history Of the state,
without a doubt" declares Roy E. Nc
Knight. president Of the Overland Great
Falls company. 301 First avenue north,
distributors of the WHY'S Knight end
Overland passenger cars and the Inter
national trucks.
'In the automobile itself l do not
look for any drastic changes in general
design and construction. But having
seen the wonderful development that has
occurred since | first became interested
i'll the business, am inclined to be CON
servative in ny predictions.
Il believe, though that among manu-
facturers there will be trend more
clearly to define their products in price
groups and to attain a more general
Standardization both in design and CON
structior.
Lower prices will not come for awhile
yet. Everyone is selling his commodity
at good prices. whether that commodity
be labor. skilled or what no., and there
is no more hardship than there ever
was. Nor will lower prices come over
night In fact, a sudden recession n.
pri es would do more harm than good.
Prospects are great for wonderful
season this year. and if the dealers can
get the cars shipped into the state. it
will BIZ the biggest from a business
standpoint in the history Of the auto
mobile industry in Montana"

To fully appreciate the test to which

LOCAL DEALER
Is OPTIMISTIC
A. P. Heaney, Velie Distributor,
Says Future of Industry Was
Never Better.

Among the automobile men of the
west, probably none keeps his finger
on the pulse Of events more keeny
than 4. z. Heaney, Montana distributor
Of the FeGe motor cars and trucks
Mr. Heaney is veteran In the auto
mobile business to his far sighted vi
sion. as much as to his general business
ability, may be attributed the success
attained as distributor and dealer.
Consequently. when one wants fore
cast Of things in the automobile world
there is no better authority to look to
than Mr.. Heaney. Giving his views on
the future of the automobile inductry.
Mr. Heaney says:
Merely to say that I am an optimist
is not sufficient. / would like to define
what you might call my spirit Of op-
timism. It is this: If there was an
army Of optimists being formed and I
couldn't get in the front ranks. I would
organize revolution. Look anywhere
you like, analyze as closely as you wish,
and you cannot with a clear thinking
mind see anything but prosperity ahead.
There may be periods when things
will seem to quite down, but they viii
be short or of temporary duration. Pres
idenuaI electl0n year Is always looked
upon by some as foreboding quiet times.
but if this was ever actually the case /
am sure the present year will prove an
exception.
II received a carload OF Velie pas
senger cars and trucks last week, which
| will exhibit at the show, including a
sedan. a 4S-five passenger car, and the
first light six passenger car ever
shipped into the state. / will also show
the new famous one and one-half Veie
trick, equipped with pneumatic cord
tires, an all season glass enclosed
drivers cab. maroon color with yellow
wheels
Last month | received six carloads
Of machines. and if it was only possible
TO have them shipped into the state. !
could easily handle ten carloads every
month of the year. Although the fac
tories are turning ont more cars at the
present time than in 1917, they can't
fill the orders. and | am certain that
it will take IS months at least, to catch
UP with the demand.
II have just returned from a trip to
Lewistown and Roundup and they can't
get enough trucks in the oil fields there.
Cars are also in great demand, aud the
futcrc is certainly rosy"

FARMS AIDED
BY MOTOR CAR
Automobile Is Solution on How
to Keep the Young People
in the Country

A certain popular song writer struck
a keynote vital 10 the country's life
some time ago when the query was
sounded How yon going t. keep EN-

\ volyed III that phrase have assumed
mountainous proportions.
The dcarth of farm help and the mi
grafton Of the young people Of the rural
communities to the cities is responsible
! in no small measure for the high cost of
/ oil foods and the scarcity Of many here
\ tofore abundant products Of the farm
4 Wartime wages in the industrial cen
\ tcrs have naturally attracted the farm
hand. but behind it all lies the lure Of
the city, with its amusements. bright
| lights and greater educational opportu-
mites. The Younger generation will not
I remain secluded and alone on the farm
\ in the face Of this call Of the bigger
! world.
The motor car has accomplished more
| than any single agent in making farm
| life more enjoyable and farm folks more
contentcd. it has extended their range
/ of acquaintance and greatly broadened
their social life. More farmers are buy
ing cars than city dwellers; some have
gone the limit in the effort to keep the
1 family together.
j. j. Thorp, a farmer near Oneida.
| H., has three sons. Mr.. Thorp owned
one Nelic six and was kept busy con
stantly. The needs of the boys con
flicted-there were complications
Mr. Thorp bought two more Nelic cars
and now all the boys are happy, and
production on the Thorp farm is at
maximum. There is not the slightest
indication Of it being otherwise for long
time to come. incidentally, three Velie
cars in one family is q foremost endorse
ment of Ncie performance and service.
In the region where the favorite pas
time Of motorcycle riders is the estab-
lishment of new long distance records.
Roy Artley, the wen known California
rider, has just added to his many laurels
the best record for the San Francisco
Los Angeles and Bakersfield Los An
geles runs. Riding an Indian machine
with side car attached he clipped %
minutes from the former San Francisco

enforced delay of an hour waiting for

ridge route with 30 miles Of night driv-
ing and entailng 1000 turns in 20 miles

WINDSOR BEATS
AIM. LEGION BY
SCORE OF 62-24
600 Enthusiastic Fans Enjoy
Fast Playing at the
ArmOry

Six hundred wildly enthusiastic
basket ball fans saw new brand
of their favoIite game at the Armoly
last night and while they were not
pleased with the St. Johnsbury Amer
lean Legion team getting the short
end of the score, they certainly en-
ioyed the game. Windsor Profess
sionals, one of the fastest teams in
New England, won the game by the
score OF 62 to "a.
One who likes to see fast, clean
sportsmanship, should see the Wind
sor boys play against the Company
d team tonight. While we are not
predicting a victory against so fast
a team of highly trained athletes we
are sure the local boys will give the
visitors a good run for their money.
There is sure to be a big crowd to
watch the fine points OF the game as
developed by the Windsor players.
The American Legion boys need no
alibi nor do they need to hang
crepe upon their arms. They played
a fine game, up to their capacity,
which is not so great as that OF a
trained, highly developed
team.
The Windsor boys had the indy
dual skill, the team technique, the
strength and phvsi-a al provinces to
wonderfully effective
team. Against them was the Legion
boys, younsters who have regular oc-
cupations to perform daily, whose
skill in basketball is restricted to one
Or two nights a week of practice and
who at the opening of new sea-
son are far from reaching the peak
Of their ahiht- as yet. The Legion
bows for the amount Of time they are
able to put into the game are play
ing very creditable exhibition.
There were flashes last night when
for . few minutes of play they were
the equal of tAeid opponents.
1t was an unintential injustice TO
the Legion boys for some of the spec
tators to yell Cover up and whats
the matter, are you dead?' The high
" developed game the Windsor boys
were playing made it impossible to

A change in the program of gu
mcnts was made at the adjournment
of court Thursday afternoon. Insteac
of rushing the case to finish, it wa
considered advisable by Judge Moul-
ton to hold the jury over the holiday.
The Judge wanted entire justice done
in the case. 1t was feared that some
Jurors might be anxious to get home
for Christmas and might not give
the case proner deliberation.
The length of the arguments de-
layed the adjournment Of court
Thursday so that it was agreed that
AttyPorter of st. Johnsbury should
make his argument for the defense
on Friday forenoon followed by Atty.
Cen Archibald.
4 great crowd was in court today
v hen Atty. Porter made his argu-
ment. He scored States Attorney
Tracey severely through his argu-
ment. He said Tracey had the auda-
city to ask: "If the respondent didn't
kill Amy Shonio, who did," He said
it wasn't for the defense to say who
killed Amy Shonio. He said if the

opportunity to examine the effects
Of Amy Shonio it might have been
able to say who killed the girl. He
said Mudgett w2s given gruelling
ross-cxamination at the inquest and
that he changed his testimony. He
said that if this made Mudgett guilty
than Atty. Tracey was guilty for he
frequently changed hisanswers to
questions while on the witness stand.
Atty Gen. Archibald in his afgu-
