 Marcos di Nizi council of the Knights Of. Columbus announces that our city is to be included in the reconstruction program of the Knights of Columbus for the perpetuation Of American in stitutiOns and Christian civilization. On Saturday Jan. 15, David Goldstein, secretary of the Boston School of Po- liical Economy, will speak in the high school auditorium at o'clock p. m. on the subject Of "Bolshevism: What T Is: The Remedy For It."
 Admission to the lecture is free to the public. Seats have been reserved for world war veterans, who are at present taking a decidedly keen inter- est in the worlds greatest problem. The lecture of Mir. Goldstein will be of special interest to them.
 Mir. Goldstein is an expert on sociolo- gical problems. His latest book, "Bol- shevism: Its Cure" issued in collabora- tion with Mrs. Martha Moore Avery, is considered masterpiece" its power ful arguments are concisely written. and interestingly put to curb the spread of Socialism throughout our country.
 In appreciation of his chautauqua work 1t was said that
 MT. Goldstein is an interesting speaker. gifted with a keen, penetrat- ing intellect, a marvellous flow of lan- guage and a trenchant, almost cold bloOded, way of driving fact after fact right home to his hearers. He does not mince words, and every sentence he utters is given in a way that almost forces assent
 The lecture in Phoenix is to be con- ducted upon the forum plan. The ad- dress will be followed by quizzing period, during which the speaker will reply to question. verbal or written, from anyone in the audience. on any phase of his subject.
 | Speaking of MT. Goldstein's work in San Francisco, the Monitor says:
 There were 5000 people in Dream land pavilion last night That immense auditorium and its spacious galleries were packed to the doors. Hundreds were obliged to stand; many were | turned away. The sea of humanity ! that greeted the speaker when he stepped forth must have been an in spring sight to him. MT. Goldsteins lecture was more than a lecture It was a spectacle and debate-one man against hundreds. The air was sur charged with the electricity of the con- flict. The dramatic suspense was keener than the most breathless play To see that little Napoleon of the plat form marshaling his forces-facts facts, facts against the guerilla war fare of his enemies, and mercilessly moving them down till they were flat tened like a wheatfield after a cyclone was an intellectual treat and a sports mans joy.
 In this lecture the people of Phoenix shall be served to a real and unusual treat; land we feel sure that we shall all be better as result of Mir Gold stein's visit. The lecture will be one of the big events of the year in the way of intellectual and moral enter tqinment for our community. And don't forget that the admission is free.
 Final arrangements for the enter tainment of the speaker will be com

NoreIand Runs Four Years On 40 Dollar
 Repair Expense

When a truck has been run con- stantly for day in and day out for four and one-half years at a total expense of repairs not exceeding $40 in all that period 1t can be truly said to have made good" says General Sales Man ager Mallory of the Moreland Motor Truck company.
 For years" he continued, I've have conducted a travelling inspection sys- tenn with thoroughly competent men. They are constantly covering our ter ritory. calling upon owners. looking over their equipment, studying their conditions and methods of operation and always ready to make helpful sug gestions or be of assistance in any way. We believe that it is essential not only to sell truck but to keep it sold and this can only be done. first by having a good product and then by seeing that it is kept up to its proper form. Our interest does not crease with a sale. Future stable business depends, we be- leve upon the satisfaction of the buyer which In turn depends upon the sue scessful operation of his truck This we try in every way to help him secure.
 Recently we have paid more than the usual attention to this feature of what we consider real service and as a result are being flooded with letters containing many interesting bits of in- formation and evidence of satisfaction on the part of our owners. We are learning a whole lot as to what our trucks are actually doing in service.
 st,s1'his case have mentioned is one in point The California Sauce and Pickle company of oakland. Caiifor- mia, writes: We purchased our 11a ton truck from you four years ago last July. We have been using this truck continually and have had little or no trouble or expense aside from tires, our expense for repairs not exceeding $40. We arc so we'll pleased with the truck that we would under no consideration. consider the purchase any other. We also wish to compliment Mir. Daley on the prompt attention we have received at your service station for what little service we have called for"

SerUice Work Costs
 Quoted In AdUance

Many motorists who have brought their batteries to us recently for re- pairs," says c. A. Morrell of the Ari- zona Batter and Ignition company, local Vesta distributors, 'have com mented on our system of giving a defi- nite price for the repair work in ad- vance. This is one of the things that the owners of automobiles of today must look into very closely Have your repairs priVed in advance
 "The general complaint was that at many other places where they had had repairs made the cost often ran away over the first estimate. This never happens at a Nesta service station, pe- cause we always quote a price in ad- vance for the work to be done and thls price holds, no matter how much longer it takes to do the work than we eX- pected. Furthermore, we never open a motorists battery without the own CTS consent. and then only after we have exhausted every effort to charge it. This square basis of dealing, to- gether with the prompt, courteous and dependable service found in every Vesta service station, has gained the good will of the motorists throughout the country. In the local station here, as we'll as in every other Vesta service station, inspection and watering of bat IGTl6S Is lIcc anu AlONOAASeo e@AS t-N to take advantage of this service, no matter what make of battery they have in their car.
 "These features and others, such as our large and up-to-date still that not only distills pure and fresh water TOT your batteries every day, but We keer | it pure after it is distilled, and oul up- to date and late electrical equip ment for testing and repairing your starters, generators, magnetos and your electric system in general. mas caused our shop to be one of the mos' popular places on Van Buren street.
 "The most welcome news to us and i Vesta owners and boosters was the notification from the Vesta Battery corporation of Chicago of the reelection in prices effective January l. Alls m now nnts our battery prices back on
 the same basis as they were before the war and here is hoping that many other things will follow suit

Barret & Pottberg Celebrate Their
 First Anniversary

Yesterday marked the first anniver- sary of the firm of Barret & Pottberg, local Stakeholder distributors. Start ing with the determination that the year of 1920 would be a Studebaker year, this live, energetic firm certainly made it so, from all appearances.
 During the twelve months ending on Saturday last, this fir msold 123 new Studebaxer cars and about three times that number of used cars.
 To say that they expect to duplicate that record in 1921 is stating it mildly, for observations of general conditions that will exist in the coming year, com bined with an organization that has been trained to know and sell Stude- baker cars, point to the extreme prob ability of far surpassing this record.
 Barret & Pottberg pride themselves on the splendid service they render to the purchasers of Studebaker cars. Their service department is under the direct supervision of MT. Barret, and Charles Pottberg acts as sales man. ager of the organization

Price Reductions Must Be Based On
 Decreased Costs

Price slashing is not good business. It is usually unfair to someone" says Bert O. Brown, local dealer in Chev- rolet passenger and commercial cars.
 Either goods sold previous to a cut in price were not worth the price asked or the new price results in a loss Go the manufacturer The only cound reason for price reduction is actual decrease in the cost of produe- ton.
 'If the price of an article is based fairly on the cost of the materials and labor that so into it's manufacture thar price cannot be lowered until the cost of these two items comes down. There has been on decrease in tho cost of materials or labor employed fin the automibile industry.
 Unless a car has been over-priced therefore. any reduction means a loss to the manufacturers loss that must be made up somewhere if he expects to stai in business. Neither in the auto mobile industry nor any other can a business be successfully operated at a loss. Such a condition can only .be temporary if the quality of the product is 10 be maintained.
 If the present prices of automobiles are successfully maintained therefor. lt VIII show that they arc the right prices flor materials and labor costs are un- changed"
