HAYNES COMPANY HAS
RECORD PRODUCTION

The Haynes Automobile Company,
Kokomo, Indiana, is producing SS 1-3
| per cent more cars than ever before in
the history OF the company, accord
| ing to statement issued by Alton G.
Seiberling, vice president and general
manager of the Haynes company. APP
proNimately is per cent more men are
! employed today than the largest pre-
vipus number shown on any of the
| ccmpany's past records. and in many
| departments day and night shifts are
/ being used so that there will be no
| break in the steady line of finished
| Haynes cars that passes out the doors
OF the final assembly building every
day towards the loading dock for ship,
ment. This super.activity is due
largely. to the widespread demand
which exists in all sections of the
country for the Haynes Fifty, the
smaller and lighter Haynes five-pass-
enger. six-cylinder touring car.
To-day we find greater demand
than ever before for Haynes cars"
added William Elliott Phelps. general
sales manager, in discussing the situa-
tion. 1T will be impossible for us to
fill the actual orders we have on hand
for some time. This demand takes on
an added significance when it is realiz-
) cd that the buying public are measur- !
ing values more carefully now than
they have for many years. During the
past two years production alone mea-
sured sales; the demand was far ahead
Of thd supply. Practically every
manufacturers was selling all the cars |
he could make. Today the people are /
insisting that they be given the maxi !
mum value for their money. on that |
basis it seems only fair to assume that |
the present demand for Haynes cars |
and especially for the Haynes Fifty, in
dicates unqualified approval by the |
public of Haynes principles
and policies as well as the Haynes pro-
ducts"

LADY INJURED
IN RUNAWAY

Mr.. and Mrs. August Pieper, resi-

injured Monday just before noon in a
runaway. Mrs. Pieper suffered dis
located shoulder and her husband was
slightly bruised. The lady was TAX
en- into the residence of Rev. F. W.
SchOeller where immediate medical
attention was given the fractured

vices on the part of the citizens, and
by some formal proclamation, or act
on the part of the city government.
Not a suggestion of any of these
things were done in Baraboo, al
though | am informed that request
was made by the local American Lee
gion officers, that some observance
be taken. Has Baraboo lost all civic
pride? Has the high spirit of pa
triotism become so deadened that we
cannot as a city, pay proper tribute
to the memory of these boys who
have passed beyond?
We applauded and extoled them as
they marched away to the martial
music of the band, and now after pay
ing the great price we do not even
pause long enough in the pursuit Of
our commercial and professional life
to pay passing tribute as they are
lborne to their last resting place. If
the memory of their acts and of the
acts of others who have thus died is
so soon to be forgotten, surely we will
have fought in vain because by fO1
getting them, we also forget the glory
of their ecnievement and that f."
which they gave their lives. The to-
tai absence of any appropriate cere-
mony on the part of our city at the
burial of these boys is sad common
tary on the patriotism and loyalty of
our citizenship.
I sign my name to this article so
that if any one desires to criticize it
they will know against whom such
criticism may be directed.
