enally fast time in view of the rough character of the roads in the valley strict and through the Tehachapi mountains.
 The vaIve-in- head Buick motor surely was given a severe test. in the sensational and hair-raising road race between Los Angeles and Sac ramento in June. 1913. The Pan Pacific road race had the largest entry list of high-powered foreign and American built cars that ever had been entered in any previous race. And again the Buick came out with flying colors.
 Only twenty cars out of the original fifty-two finished, and both Buick cars which lined up at the start came home under their own power when the fin ishlng line was reached in Sacramento.
 Leaving Los Angeles in forty fifth place, the Buick was the first Ameri- can-built car to finish. and got sec ond place. as only one foreign car specially constructed for racing pur- poses, and costing in excess of S10, 900, was ahead of the little Buick when the last flag was dropped.
 Many other trophies and records that were won by the valve-i head Buick could be enumerated, such as the winning of the Phoenix road race in 1909 over the desert roads deep in sand; the delivery of a Buick light delivery truck over Tioga pass in Sep tember, 1915, before this famous noun tain pass was officially opened for motor cars, and the winning of trophies and cups offered by Yosemite Park, Lake Tahoe and Reno. Nevada, people for being the first car over the Sierra summits each season for five consecu- tive years.
 The Buick also holds the worlds sealed radiator record. In August 1915, with the radiator sealed, stock Buick touring car, with four passen- gers. travelled from San Francisco to Los Angeles and return, a distance oi 1000 miles, without requiring any water. It took less than one pint o1 water to fill the radiator at the end oi the run.
 For twenty years the Buick engi- neers have been convinced that the valve-in- head type of motor was the correct design. and although eacf succeeding Buick model has been per l fected in body design and mechanical

.EkRNHART GIVES. RE EASONS S r OR
 WOOD SEPARATOR

In an interview yesterday A s. Earnhart of the Battery Service Co-, Prest- t-O-Lite Storage Battery Service station, corrected some prevailing mis- apprehensions about the separators Of storage battery plates.
 People seem to think,' he said, that separators have several myste- rious functions to perform in the pro- duction of current This is a mistake. They have but one function, and that Is to separate the positive and mega tive plates of battery.
 "Separators must be substantial enough to hold the plates apart so that there will be no possibility of short circuiting during charge or discharge, and at the same time they must per init just as free circulation or dfffu- sion of electrolyte within the cells as possible-just as little resistance to the passage of the current through the cell as possible.
 Any electrical novice must know | that resistance to the passage of cur rent cuts down the efficiency of a
 battery. The least possible resistance | is offered by specially treated wood
 separators. In this particular case of | the Prest-O-Lite battery separators made of certais wood are treated by a | special process which not only gives them this indispensable property of | least resistance, but also renders them so impervious to any carbonizing eff 1 feet that the ideal medium has been | reached"

Prosperous Feeling
 Back Of Country

"Back of the whole country is an ex- tremely prosperous feeling" is & key
 note of an interview given by J. E.. Fields. director of sales and assistant general manager of the Liberty Motor Car company at Detroit. MT. Fields has just returned to Detroit after more than three months in covering principal
 trading centerS all the way from
 Maine to Los Angeles and the lower
 Mississippi valley to Canada. The re-
 suits of his investigations are not only encouraging to the Liberty Six organlz-
 ation in particular, but also valuable
 to those desiring an authoritative anal
 ysis of business in general.
 Trade papers and the press gener-
 ally have been giving vent to a great
 deal of optimism, and rightly SOL says
 MT. Fields. My investigations of con- ditions have satisfied mo that the coun- try, as a whole, is extremely prosper eus. While some localities may have a temporary handicap due to low prices for farm or manufactured products, this condition will be quickly overcome just as soon as there is an optimistic tone from other sections Of the coun- try.
 'In my opinion" he continues, leach of us seems to want the readjustment to take placo without our contribut- ing anything toward 1t. The farmer and stock raiser of the North and the cotton grower of the South. would like to see the readjustment of prices with out the need of themselves contribut- ing We, as manufacturers, would like to sec the same thing take place, but the sooner each, and all, of us decide that everyone must contribute to the improved conditions, the sooner the re- adjustment will take place. And the
 sooner that readjustment takes place
 tho sooner business will arrive at its normal condition and every man should do his share.
 "I have a great deal of faith in the
 automobile industry, especially so when I see the tremendous appropriations
 which are being made for good roads in the different states. This means
 sales of larger numbers of cars and
 trucks. Then again, when one analyzes
 Americas prosperity one cannot but
 feel that there is a great home demand for the product we are making still thrilled.
 Beginning of better business Is al- ready noted in far separated sections of the country. Better business in one region Is quickly followed in other i'm mediate territories. I am an optimisi on our business as I am on every busi-
 ness of our country-we must be will ing to accept gradual increases-but we are reassured that all increases will be permanent improvement"

cost of operation and loss of time for repairs.
 Under the new arrangement of dis -ribution the drivers, when 1t came to the purchase of new trucks bore the record of this truck in mind They chose as a purchasing committee six thoroughly experienced drivers, who proceeded to make the most detailed investigation of practically every truck on the market, with the view to pur- chasing the best possible for the n>S venture.
 During the course of their investi- gation the drivers visited the new Moreland factories at Burbank, saw the new model trucks in the process of construction, the care and quality in every detail, were given every op- portunity to inspect parts, materials and processes and to see the immense stock of repair parts constantly kept on hand ready for immediate service They also inspected carefully the new system of service in force at the Los Angeles branch of the company, with it's specialized system and methods Aside from the quality of the truck
 itself they were particularly impressed with. the facilities for service.
 Further than this that there be noth- ing overlooked nor forgotten, in ths making of the final decision, an item ized chart was made up in which the mechanical details and features of the various trucks, as shown in their speci- fications, were set down and the point: totaled up. This confirmed the judg ment of the committee and the ordel for the 40 trucks was placed with th' Moreland company.
 During the past month the Los An geles branch of the Moreland Moto Truck company has average to sel frun <C a n use in the immediate Los Angeles ter ritory. while the record since the open ing of the new branch last summe shows an average of a little better thar one and one- half for each working da, during that period.

OLD LUBBOCK PAPER
FOUND IN BUILDING

While making preparations to dc
some brick work on home near the
school building recently, J. II. Clay
found copy of the Lubbock Leader,
the first paper published in Lubbock
county, dated January 10, 1892.
Many interesting things we're
printed in the paper, which seems
more like reading a story Of an old
country than the true news items.
Two landmarks that are remembered
by people who have not been here so
long are the old courthouse and Nj
colette Hotel, which were the larg-
est buildings in this section and the
pride Of the Lubbock people. Robert
L. Rogers was the editor, and printed
a newsy, interesting sheet.
Following are two articles taken
from the paper;
LUBBOCK HAS
Three Mercantile Houses.
Two Hotels.
One Blacksmith Shop.
One Barber Shop.
One Grain Store.
Two Livery Stables
Two Land Firms.
Two Lawyers.
Two Physicians
One Newspaper.
Lots Of good civilized people and
several old bachelors.

The rain with cold weather is
checking the growth Of all young
plants, it is general complaint of
bad stands Of cotton and we still can't
tell where we are at with our crop.
1t is hard to get out of the old
rut but our farmers will have to
change their system and diversity
their crops more and get on a cash
basis. Then we can dictate to these
spectators and highway robbers who
have been imposing the heaviest bur-
dens on the farmers.
We notice in the council that was
held to fix the bond issue for Cobb
county the farmers were not called
into counsel nor consulted. Why
not? He is the man that uses the
roads and without him they would be
of no use. The farmer is considered
of but little Importance by a certain
class of people only at tax-paying
time. 1t would be well to consult him,
he is not as big fool as some take
him to be. Don't forget it, he will
have to be reckoned with at voting
time. Take him into your confidence
and consult him, he will help you and
will cooperate forbetter things.
