BARLEY SEES CAR SHORTAGE
Roamer Manufactures Predicts Re-
vivnl of Demand In Spring.

Fairly exuding optimism regard 'ng
the future Of the better grade of auto
mobiles. A. G. Barley, president Of the
Barley Motor Car Company manufac-
turers OF the Roamer car. has arrived
in New York to attend the automobile
show and preside over a banquet and
reunion Of the cornpany's dealers anu
branch managers
"I haven't the slightest hesitancy in
saying" said Mr. Barley. that the show
will cause revival of greatly improved
conditions in the industry and by spring
we will witness a very healthy scramble
on the part of the public to buy motor
cars.
However, there IS bound to be l.
shortage. due to the cutting down of
production at the present time, and the
buyer who fails to place his orders early
will find Il no easy matter to buy his
favorite car at premium later on.
Personally. ! feel proud of the record
the Barley company has maintained
throughout the year, proving highly sue
cessful. despite the depression that has
affected all classes Of business. And
we believe our success has been entirely
due 10 the mint Of the Roamer--a prod
uct we are proud Of and. moreover. a
car that was never overpriced. ernbody

MARMON HAS SMALLEST CARS.
Miniatures One-fourth Regular
Size Displayed at show.

There's at least one brand new dis
play idea at the show and that's to be
found at the Marmon booth. Marmon
cars are being shown in miniature, real.
true to looks automobiles but only forty
inches long and fifteen inches wide.
These little models are so true 10 life
that they are deceptive. One rather i'm
agines he is in a sort of fairyland OF
the Lilliputians and that these auto
mobiles on display are real cars that
belong to the folk of the diminutive
race.
But they're simply real automobiles,
built to one-quarter scale. Every de-
tail is correct They're built from the
small blue prints as is the big car.
These cars have real springs. the wire
wheels are exact and turn on real spin
dies. The instrument board is COM
plete; the cars are luxuriously uphol-
tered the top is fitted and finished with
care the windshield is of glass and opens
IL you want it to. There is even a
motormeter, and small Goodrich tires
grace the wheels.
It's n most interesting display for
anyone OF course the young folk
gather around it. but fathers and

PAIGE PLANS BIG PRODUCTION
Dealers Anxious to Get Cars, Says
Harry NJ. Jewctt.

Paige has scheduled a goodly produc-
tion of cars and trucks for 1921. basing
it's plans on the conviction that the nee
essary readjustments of American COM
,nercal affairs have been completed and
that the American people are about
ready TO resume normal business rela-
lions" says Harry M. Jewett, president
of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car Com
rany.
1--WE have been optimistic and conf
dent during the recent dull days because
we believed the discomfort suffered was
necessary and that nothing could possi-
bly, keep such a universal utility as the
automobile in eclipse for very long.
But we did not push our optimism to
the extent of loading up our dealers with
more cars than they could healthfully di-
gest when the demand was slight Now
that the turn has come and the buying
pirit is once more in evidence our deal
ers are in excellent shape to cooperate
with us to bring our plans to a success
full fulflment and to make 1921 profit
able year for all concerned In fact,
they are eager to back us TO the limit
and are not only taking full quotas Of
cars but in some instances they are ex-
cSeding 100 per cent. We have every rea.
son, therefore. to believe the year will
be an excellent one"

RACE FANS VISIT STUTZ.
Recall Days when Raccrs Cleared
Up Major Events.

There is scarcely a person who visits
the Stutr booth at the Automobile SHOW
who does not know of the racing teats
OF prowess that made t5.s car famous
II they did not see they have read or
heard of how the cirst Stutz made
good in 2 day by finishing IN the
money In the grusling 900 mile dash
over the Indianap polls Motor Speedway
and the marvellous uuequalled record
for consistency and durability estab-
lished in 1915 when Stutz cars finished
first and second in every major event
in road or speedway races.
Talking to several visitors at the
Stutz booth yesterday, w. n. Thomp-
son. president of the Stutz Motor Car
Company Of America. Inc, said THE
race course was the proving ground for
Stutz cars. but we believe that the WIN
ming of important races and events
means nothing to manufacturers or pur-
chasers unless they are backed UP by
the same engineering ability, material
and workmanship in every day produc-
ton, as produced by Stutz
THE Stutz is as carefully constructed
now as when only one or two cars We're
being built each day. IL is true that
special machinery has eliminated much
OF the handwork which was deemed
unnecessary but the Stutz car is es-
scntlally custom built.
The Stutz factory is most modern,
embodying all the features that 90 TO
make the builders OF Stutz cars con-
tented. one could not imagine a cleaner
or more orderly and efficient factory,
The employees work in a satisfying at
mosphere They believe in Stutz cars
and take pride in building them. They
build well. and this great satisfaction
is radiated to owners of Stutz cars"

MONA HAS ALUMINIUM BODY.
Car Made New ton
Trip I'm seven Hours.

From its experience in building air
planes during the war for the Govern
ment the Mona Motor Car Company Of
New York created new idea in auto
mobile body building. It's body is made
OF sheet aluminium braced by a laminat-
ed wood frame. The same strong.
flexible and light material is used in
airplane construction. The car also has
all standard parts with two decided fea-
lures, an oversize Timken rear end and
a six cylinder engine with a four bearing
counterbalanced crank shaft.

CADILLAC CARS
ARE DEPENDABLE
Every Part Must Pass Rigid
Scrutiny, Says Chief
Engineer.

''The dependabiity that is built into
the Cadillac does not get there by
chance; It is drafted into the design OF
the car" said b. II. Anibal chief en-
gineer Of the Cadillac Motor Car Com
pany.
Conference among the engineers, de-
signers and craftsmen has been contin-
uous over long period of years. 1t be-
gins anew each morning, with the one
unchanging thought of bringing the car
to a higher degree Of dependabiiity.
There is not so much as nut or a
bolt in its construction that has not
passed under rigid scrutiny times with
out number.
every Cadillac which leaves produc-
ton is like every other in the applica-
tion OF these principles. excepting that
the process of Improvement is continu-
ous.
"A new principle OF construction or

mere novelty to recommend 1t before 1t
is adopted by Cadillac. No feature is
ever introduced into the car merely be-

SEATTLE BOYS DODGE DoDGEs
Truant Officers Use Them, SO Ju-
venite Population shuns ID. II. Cars

ASK any boy in Seattle vino has a
,ud,4. 70 play nooliy once in n while
and he will tell you that he always keeps
sharp lookout for Dodge Brothers
touring cars and roadstcrs.
Reason--this is the type Of Car used
by the eight attendance officers Of the
Seattle school board who scour the city
constantly for symptoms of juvenile de-
linqusncy.
More than once one of these cars has
pulled alongside the curb or glided up
to the swimmin' hole TO the great dismay
of the youngster who had remained out
of school to attend his grandmother's
funeral out popped the truant officer,
and before Johnny could move he was
under cross-examination.
Now the Seattle school board has
made it little easier for Johnny by
giving him n reasonable chance TO
duck" The board has ordered that
cars used by attendance officers be
plainly lettered in conformity with the
style of lettering on all other cars
owned by the school department. When
this action was proposed 1t brought
forth a sharp and insistent protest by
one OF the school officials. The objec-
ton was reported by a Seattle paper as
follows:
"Mr. Fleming said in his communion
ton OF protest that as Dodge Brothers
cars are used exclusively by the depart
ment any Dodge Brothers car is In
stantly the object Of suspicion on the
part OF the juvenile population of a
community To make them more con-
spicuous By lettering would be merely
adding to the troubles OF an over e
dened and unappreciative public servant
But the protest was overruled'
The Seattle police department also
uses ten Dodge Brothers touring cars
The various departments of the city and
county together operate thirty-seven.

The little fellows are wonderful ex-

What is known as the Suttons
Spring road has pretty well gone to
pieces. There is no bridge over the
branch at the Ross graveyard and none
over the creek at the spring. But rev
automobiles go that way these days
While the statutes can be construed
as allowing cotton mills to weigh
themselves cotton they buy from wag-
ons without regard to the public
weigher, it is not right. 1t is just one
of those statutes that was slipped
through while nobody was looking. All
cotton should be weighed by an ofh-
cial weigher, not beholGen to either the
buyer or seller.
Within the past few days The YORK
Vile Enquirer has become cogniZant OF
the circulation Of certain rumors with
regard to the local public cotton weigh
ing system. These rumors are 10 the
effect that the term Of office or the
public weigher having expired, there is
no weigher until successor shall nave
been elected. 1t has been circulated
that Mr.. Mcclure has quit. There Is
talk of other applications for the place.
etc. There have been suggestions that
the price for weighing be reduced.
About the best authority that can De
given for these rumors is they say. IL
io known. that certain influences in the
town have never been reconciled to the
public weighing system, and that theg
have never contributed in any way 10
its support or encouragement. But the
truth Of the matter Is that cotton SELL
ers generally favor the idea OF having
cotton weighed by q fair and impartiai
weieher. There is no statutory limit TO
the incumbency OF the official weigher'
He serves during good behavior at the
discretion of the county board OF COM
missioners, and is subject to remoVai
for cause. The county board of COM
missioners can appoint anybody they
see proper to appoint to the position
1t is unlawful for any cotton dealer 10
weigh on his own account the cotton
he purchases from c, customer, and Vlo-
lations of the law in this particular
should be reported to the county board
of commissioners. The income of theI
weigher last year was about $1,000, and
whether or not this is too much de-
pends on whether the services Of a sat-
isfactory official, who is competent and
capable. can be had for less; but that
is a matter for the county board vi
commissioners.

THE COTTON PLATFORM

The public cotton platform at York
Vile has not been functioning so far
this year, partly due to the illness of
Robert Mcclure, the official weigher
and partly due to his misunderstanding
as to his term of office.
Mr.. Mcclure has been i'll for the past
three weeks, too i'll to take much in
terest and there having been some out
side suggestions to the effect that
the term of his appointment having
expired on September l, he had taken
no steps looking to the appointment OF
temporary substitute.
Until a few days ago Supervisor
Brown had reason to believe that the
platform was functioning In regular
manner. This was because he had told
Mr.. Mcclure more than two weeks ago
that he Mr.. Mcclure, was the official
weigher until the election and qualif-
cation of his successor.
When seen at his home Wednesday
Mr.. Mcclure said: II have been feel
ing so badly during the past two weeks
with something that the doctor said
would be grip if it were winter time,
that I have not been sure that ] was
going to stay here: but expect to be
on the job tomorrow, as | am feeling
better now.'
During the past year from October
16, 1920 to September /, 1921, Mr.. Nc
Clure has weighed an aggregate of o.
936 bales Of cotton, the figures by the
