NEW HAYNES 55

That the new. improved Haynes 55 models. embodying such advanced features as the new Haynes braking system, new springs and new vacuum system, are the leading automobile values on the market today is the consensus of opinion of the entire Haynes dealer organization and a substantial portion of the automobile buying public. according to reports now being received from all sections of the country by the Haynes Auto mobile company. Kokomo. Ind
 The following wire received from the Jennings Motor Car company, Haynes distributors at Cincinnati. is indicative of the high enthusiasm which the Haynes b5 models are creating in that territory:
 ''The new Haynes b5. with the
 improved braking system and
 new springs is. in our opinion,
 the best value on the market to-
 day, irrespective of price class.
 thought you would be inter-
 ested in having our opinion about
 the car. It rides exceptionally
 well and everybody likes it.'
 The new features which we have incorporated in the new. improved Haynes 55 models, together with the recent price reduction which we au- thorized on these cars. make them, without doubt, the greatest dollar for dollar values in the field" states Alton G. Seiberling, vice president and general manager of the Haynes Automobile company.

first year of its history, the Register

in the initial number to provide Brock

newspaper, dedicated to The upblild-

We will continue TO strive to make a

HOSPITALITY

Next week B~rookings and State col
lege will entertain 500 hundred or
more high school athletes from all
parts Of the state. who will be here for
the official track and field meet Of
the South Dakota High School Athletic
association. In other towns where
similar meets are held it customary
for the residents TO open their homes
TO the visitors and provide them with
a comfortable bed and breakfast with
out charge. These high school boys
who are coming here next week, come
from the best homes in their commun-
ity and many of them are away from
home for the first time in their lives
Their first impression of BrookingA
will be a lasting one and everything
that Brookings al do to make their
stay a pleasant one will be repaid ten
fold by the friendship of these 800
boys which will be %eternally won by
such kindness and hospitality.

day between the actual time OF plant
ing and before they come through the
ground, straw is spread loosely over
the potato ground to a depth OF two
to three feet. This forms the straw
mulch which does the rest until dig
ging time. Potatoes covered are left
uncultivated throughout the season.
The straw keeps down the weeds and
prevents evaporation Of moisture.
Because the amount of straw thus
distributed On an area is considerable,
the method will not be applicable to
large areas. The original application
OF straw must be thick enough to
actually prevent the growing of many
weeds, although not too thick to let
the potatoes come up through. Two

duce just about the right condition.

n LESSON OF OIL

Des Moines Register-In the same
issue in which the Wall Street Jour
nal reports important gains in the out
put OF oil, the Journal reports sub
stantial increases in the retail price
of oil to the
standard Oil Company Of New
York has raised gasoline one cent a
gallon, making tank wagon price in
its territory 26 cents a gallon. V. NJ.
p. naptha is advanced n cent to %
cents a gallon. Standard Oil Company
Of New Jersey has increased tank
wagon gasoline in New Jersey one
cent to 25 cents. Two cents a gallon
in North and South Carolina and one
cent in Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia. Kerosene is also raised two
cents a gallon in North Carolina and
one CEN in South Carolina, with ad-
vances at scattered points in Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia.
Other marketers are expected to meet
the Standard Oil advance in gasoline
prices within a day or two"
1t is certainly an interesting situa-
ton when in the face of an increasing
output OF crude oil, and with enormous
ly improved methods OF refining, the
Standard companies can hold gasoline
above 20 cents, and actually raise the
prices with the assurance that every
body else who sells oil will promptly
respond to Standard leadership.

OF the department of agriculture are
correct, have lost at least $12, 000, 000,-

BETTER TIMES AT HAND

Sioux City Journal-The Washing
uation in this country is hat prosper
ity at last is certain. that, in fact, II
has begun. This opinion is n arrived
at after a careful survey Of the major
industries and the important industrial
centers, and il is now un~hesitatingly
declared that the first week of May
discloses a better situation for the
American people that has been known
for nearly two years. 1t would appear
that the country is now on the main
road of normally and that there will
be no detours.
A striking feature Of the changed
situation is the widespread shortage
of labor in certain lines. A short time
ago The Journal observed that semi
skilled laborers could not be obtained
in the desired number at a Youngs
town, o., steel plant. The first week
in May has developed the same situa-
ton in a dozen different lines and in
many directions. After a long period
of unemployment, 1t is most unusual
to hear that there is an acute short
age Of workers. Farm hands are
wanted. Carpenters and builders
available cannot carry out the present
building program throughout the
country. In some cases unskilled labor
is at a premium. Whether this situa-
ton is one that has been developed
suddenly is not known. Last accounts
of the unemployment figures showed
a considerable number Of workers
without jobs. but the number had
been cut down appreciably from the
peak of the early winter. The present
labor shortage probably can be sup.
pIied quickly, for it is known that
thousands are still looking for jobs.
The only difficulty about connecting
the man with the job now is the prob
lem of transportation, which really
ought to be solved easily enough.
A feature of the official report on
changed conditions is the increase in
prices of various commodities with
which workers are engaged. The
hu,,ding boom has brought higher
nrices for lumber, for steel, for bricks
and various other materials used In
construction Of houses. How far
tbis price increase will go cannot be
now, nor can 1t be said
now n will affect the program OF de-
or course. 1t Is nothing
rrors nor less than the law OF supply
and demand which is at work. Dut II
r-scss for building materials go up 10

Will go on in any event, because bust
o5s will demand it, but the home
builder will not relish the announce
ment that ii costs more now to bulld
a house than it did two months ago.
Not only have building materials gone
up, but on account OF q shortage OF
| carpenters and helpers, labor also has
advanced. 1t is advised that the
markings of a runaway market are
present and that swiftly mounting
prices would result if the situation
were not lin strong hands and under
absolute control" BY all means every
influence should be brought to bear
to prevent a runaway market. Prices
that could be expected to discourage
a continuation of the expansion pro
gram should not be permitted at any
time. Just profit production that
will supply the demand and satisfy it
as to quality-these will stimulate the
situation for prosperity. Everybody
recognizes that it necessarily will be a
long time before prices on general
commodities possibly can find any
thing approaching a level, but care
should be taken to prevent wild fluc-
tuations. The story OF initiation
should be remembered and applied to
present and future business opera
tiOns.
1t is splendid to know that industry
is calling for workers, that expansion
has come and that there is much work
now hold steady, making careful plans
for reconstruction and avoiding un-
practices that restrain general
improvement while contributing to
individual gain, the country
will go forward.
