Grand Canyon road a we'll known citizen of the county asked why there appears to be no organized effort upon the part of the people of Williams to oppose the project.
 As a matter of fact there is no well-defned < opposition to the proposed road in the west ern end of Coconino county. There are two reasons for this: First, The people of the west ern end of the county do not take the proposition seriously, for they know it's impractical 'bility; Second, They also know that instead of being a detriment, should the road ever be built it would prove a bene- fit to them.
 The people of Williams have no desire to oppose the inter- ests of Flagstaff where those in terests are not in direct conflict with their own. Certainly therefore, if the construction of a road from Maine to Grand
 Canyon is practical, and if it will permit our neighboring city to obtain it's just share of tourist travel without curtail- ing that of our own, we have no desire to play the dog in the manager by offering any child ish or unreasonable opposition. AS citizens of Coconino county we take a just pride in the ad- vancement of our county seat.
 We want to see it crow: we wantto see it prosper; we want to see it obtain all to which it is justly entitled. At the same time we want to see it obtain these things by a display of spirit which takes into consid- eration the rights Nof others.
 Briefly stated the proposi- tion confronting the people of the county is this.
 At oresent both Willia ms and Fla gstaff possess fairly good roads to the Canyon. The Williams road is GAP miles in length, while the Flagstaff road is about 85 miles long. The Fla gstaf road instead of being commercial asset to the town. is proving an abso- 1ute detriment, in that it per mitS tourists to turn off the Old Trails Highway six miles east of Flagstaff, proceed to the Grand Canyon, and there after strike the Old Trails again at Williams thereby excluding the town of Flagstaff from at least sixty percent of tourist travel. The road from Williams is in almost a perfect straight line; it paral- lels the Grand Canyon Railroad and it is easily and cheaply fact it main tains itself. In order, there fore, to obtain for Flagstaff the benefit of all tourist travel to Grand Canyon, it is now pro- posed to abandon both the Flagstaff and Willia ms roads to Grand Canyon, and at an enOr- nous expense, construct a road between Flagstaff and Willia ams-at Maine to Grand Canyon. The distance from Maine to ElTovar (Grand Can yon) is approxima tely the same as it is from Williams to Fl To- var-64 miles.
 In the first place both exist ing roads to Grand Canyon DOS cess advanta ges and attra ctions for the tourists that the propos- ed road from Maine would not have. The road from Fla g. staff passes bv the celebrated Painted Desert, famed in the art and the literature of the great Southwest. Because of this fact it is a well-a dvertised road, and as a scenic route 1t is an asset to the Grand Canyon itself. It is also the oldest road to Grand Canyon, and because of that fact it is rich with his

MOTOR CYCLE
NEWS.

The Motor Cycle and Allied Trades
Association is to conduct an extensive
newspaper advertising campaign aim
| ed at the increasing of popular inter-
est in motor cycles. The campaign
will be the largest of it's kind ever
launched by the motor cycle industry
and will embrace leading daily news
papers in practically all of the i'm
portant cities of the country.
| The plan was presented at a meet
ing Of the NJ. and A. T. A. held in
New York some weeks ago. The
| m embers of the association immedi-
ately realized it's feasibility and ap-
definite plans for carrying out the
suggestion. This committee made its
report to the NJ. and A. 7. A. board of
directors at melting held in Buff
were accepted Immediately.
| Through the medium of this cam
| paign the NJ. and A. T. a. intends to
| present to the general public the posi- :
| bilities of motor cycling from a pleas
ure and utility standpoint. The indi-
viduality of each make of machine
| will be ignored in the advertising,
! thus carrying out definitely ~ idea
| Of cooperation and unity Of purpose.
1t is realized that the motor cycle has
in this country and that the public
has never had a correct conception of
what motor cycling really is. Though
all the motor cycle manufacturers in
this country are enjoying compara-
lively brisk business, it is felt that
much broader field of potential sales
can be reached through united effort
The newspaper campaign is to start
the first week of April. All advertis-
ing will Tcarry the signature of the
Motor Cycle and Allied Trades Associ-
alton as well as the names of local
motor cycle dealers where advertising
is placed. This plan is expected not
only to further the interests of the
real help to dealers. That the dealers
are appreciative of the efforts being
made on their behalf is reflected in
the fact that numbers of them are
already planning to couple up to the
main campaign with advertising of
their own on a large scale.
The week of April will be featured
as spring opening week by motor cy-
Gle dealers throughout the country
Window displays and special arrange
ments will be used to attract the
public to motor cycling in all its
phases.

TIRE MEN TO REAP
| HARVEST THIS YEAR
Last Seasons Car Sales Will
Bring 20 Per Cent More
Wheel Rim Demands.

The retail tire dealer is the one mem
her of the automobile family who has
little cause for worry as he surveys the
prospects for business during the COM
ing season.
He can view the situation with salts
IA Ction because he knows that the wave
of prosperity that brought JOY to the
car manufacturers and dealers last year
will reach him this year and give him a
greater business volume than he has
ever known before.
Increase as Estimated.
Last year 100000 new motor cars
We're sold by American manufacturers.
Some of these cars went to foreign
countries and some replac aced worn-out
cars in this country. Consequently the
net increase in cars operating this year
over the number used last year VIII not
be full 1000. 900. but the number OF
motor vehicles already registered this
year in the various states Of the Union
is about 100000. as against 100000 at
the beginning oS last year.
This means that "a full million and a
half more cars will require tires in this
/ country this year than used them last
year. an outlook which is decidedly en-
courag ging for the man engaged in the
retail tire business.
The tire dealer does not profit q
great deal when a new car is first
sold. When it leaves the factory 1t
is equipped with four tires furnished
directly to the car manufacturer by
the tire manufacturer. The tire re-
taller has the chance to sell what
ever spare tires are carried.
In the second year of cars life the
tire dealer gets his opportunity, for
when the tires with which the new
car was equipped wear out the car
owner goes to his local tire dealer
who bought new cars last year are
all prospective customers for the local
tire man during the coming season.
This increase in the number of Gus
toners insures an increase in the re-
tail tire business of the coming year
amounting to about 20 per cent in
number of tires sold.
Sales by Months.
In calling attention to the bright
prospects for the retail tire trade. the
United States Tire Company gives a
table compiled after many years OBJ
servation, showing the average sales
of tires in each of the twelve months
of the year. The table which follows
shows the percentage of the year
sales made each month.
January ......4fe July ......... ~
February SO August .12%
March SO September ...1oS

According to the figures given, 81
per cent of the sales of the year are
made between May l and September 30.
mild winter, such as the present
one. may cause heavy sales somewhat
earlier this year. Allowance should
be made also for heavier sales in the
earlier months in the southern states

time to result in another baseball war

their former positions. and are willing to
fill strikers places. just as their places
