EXPORTS FOR EIGHT
 MONTHS SHOW CAIN
 STATES J. 5. REPORT
Automobiles Shipped In Excess of $38,000,000 Up To Sept. Trailer Busi ness Booming.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Despite the discouraging fluctuations of exchange rates and other disquieting factors abroad, the automobile exports for the first eight months of this year show a steady gain over the same period in 1921. Dealers in general throughout the United States express satisfaction over the sales reports, although the manufacturers of parts have not been so fortunate as heretofore.
 " In the official report given out by the Department of Commerce, with figures compiled to the end of Au- gust, it is shown that $3S,186,905 worth of automobiles, including chas- sis, were exported to that date. Last year it was $32,740,SO1 for a similar length of time.
 The total value of passenger cars, except electric, is given as $32,659,- S39. Motor trucks and busses, ex- cluding electric, $5,25o,2S1. Electric trucks and passenger cars, S276,7 ,785.
 Parts of automobiles, except en- zines and tires, total $25,1S3,496.
 A sudden demand for trailers is barred by the Federal report. Last year there was practically no call for them abroad. This year BOP have been sold. They |. were valued at $139,565.
 Reports of the United States De- partment of Commerce record that motor truck production in September 1922, was 27 per cent above Septem- Der, 1921, though showing an expect ed decline from summer business. The output for September, this year was 1S,843, for August, this year, 24,200 and for September, 1921, 13,- 648. ,,-. .....

 ROAD RECORD MADE

Following is a wire received last Friday by the Star Motor Service, Mohave County representatives for Durant and Star cars:
 Los Angeles, Cal.
 November 4, 1922 Star Motor Service,
 Kingman, Arizona.
 Joe Waddell driving Durant Four touring car yesterday broke Barney Oldfield's Los Angeles to Phoenix record dethroning the master driver of the world. His time was twenty two hours, forty-four minutes for the six hundred seventy one period four miles of desert and mountain road. Barney's time in the last Los Angeles to Phoenix road race, the event that won him the title of Master Driver of the World, was twenty three hours, one minute and two-fifths of second. Oldfield's time was made over period of three days with two night controls one at Needles, California, and the other at Prescott, Arizona, but driver of Durant four and his mechanic Ham Baker drove straight through and the wonderful record of the twenty two hour, forty four minutes includes all stops. The Durant used was stock ex- cept shock absorbers, Houck wire wheels and spot light which are op- tional accessories. The top lenders and windshield were removed as safety measure. This is a record we can we'll be proud of "just real good car."
 R. C. DURANT.
 The Durant being new car has aroused a lot of comment as to now the car would satnd up under the strenuous strain of long hard tnp' The results of this Los Angeles to Phoenix race proves the sturdiness of the car. And Kingman people well know the difficult driving that Wad- dell had to go through with when he was in this section of the country.

 'The day of the billboard and the need of such methods of advertising is past. The class of people who use the highways and to whom such signs presumably appeal are class that read the newspapers and magazines and who are governed largely in theil
 purchases by advertisements of re- liable products advertised in a reliable newspaper or magazine. It would ap- pear to me that the intelligent ad- vertiser would soon become aware of this fact and would transfer the money spent on billboards which con- stitute an afront in the eyes of most intelligent citizens, to legitimate newspapers and magazines, where such advertising would have weight.
 "With the general trend of oppo- sition to billboard advertising devel- oping over the country, as is indicated by letters received at the A. A. A. headquarters, it can be but a ques- tion of time until the American pub lie will take things into its own hands and find some means, for the abate- ment of this nuisance"

OR. ROBERT [. LEE
 PRAISES GILL BATTERY

Back from 1O,5e0 mile trip which took him across the continent from San Bernardino, Calif., to Portland, Maine and return, Dr. Robert E. Lee, San Bernardino Physician and sur geon, is most enthusiastic in his praise of the Gill battery with which his Studebaker Big Six was equipped.
 "I practically forgot that I had a battery in my car'', said Dr. Lee. "But for the four times that we had lit tie water put into the cells, the bat tery had no attention whatsoever, and we drove practically all the way in the daylight without burning our headlights.
 Before left I was assured by the Gill battery dealer that it would be impossible to overcharge the battery or injure it by such long journey, so l just naturally forgot it and I con- slider that the abuse it received would have wrecked an ordinary battery"
 This is the second coast-to-coast test trip that factory officials of the Gill Storage Battery Company have arranged to demonstrate what this non-separator battery will do- accord ing to Black & Ellis, local distributors for the battery.
 "The first trip was made from San Bernardino to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, during the summer of 1921, when battery was sealed in an Es- sex car and the owner, Harry San ders, drove through the south during hot weather, without opening the bat tery until he arrived at his destina-

MOTORISTS ABSCOND
 WITH FRUIT ALONG . SOUTH CALF. ROADS

LOS ANGELES, Ncv. 30.-"Nutty" is the epithet applied to motorists who are stealing walnuts along the highways in this part of the state, in hot complaint filed with the Au- tomobile Club of Southern California.
 Motorists in Southern California who are stopping their cars to pick nuts from the heavily laden trees are going to run up against the law in the future, promise irate ranchers who declare that thousands of dollars worth of walnuts are being stolen this season.
 Not only are motorists stealing nuts, but they are getting away with oranges, avocados and grapes in large quantities, making serious problem for local ranchers to face. Steps have been taken in certain sections of the state to stop this vandalism, and fines ranging from $25 to $100 are being assessed against motorists who are caught in the act.
 A warning to auto drivers has just been issued by the Automobile Club in regard to this practice.
 The loss is mounting this year more than ever before. Patrols have been established among the walnut groves in many counties to protect the crop this year.

COAST COUNTIES TO LINE THEIR ROADS
 WITH SHADE TREES
California State Forest Off, ficial Assisting To Make Highways An Attraction

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 3O.-Shaded highways will lure the motorists of California in the future if the plans for record planting of trees along state highways are carried out on the plan announced by State Forester M. B. Pratt, The State highway com mission and the state forester's office are cooperating on the project.
 Beginning about November 1, work was started on the project of plant ing IS miles of trees along the high way from Red Bluff to Corning, in Tehama county. The work is to be done by forest rangers, who are to be present in the employ of the state board of forestry, under an appropria- tion of 15 hundred dollars made by the Tehama county board of super visors. The trees to be planted will consist of black walnut, European sy- camore and black locust from the state nursery in Yolo county.
 A permit has also been granted by the California state highway com mission to the Yuba County Chamber of Commerce for the planting of about II miles of trees between Marysville and Wheatland, in Yuba county. The trees to be planted will be of the same varieties.
 As result of an inspection of re- cent tree plantings along the high ways between Sacramento and Red Bluff, Pratt said he found that as high as 50 per cent of the trees had not survived in some districts and will have to be replanted. He said this condition is largely the result of flooding and the drowning out of the trees.
 New trees will be supplied free of cost by the nursery, but in order to get the best results, he declared, or ganizations and communities in charge of the work of planting should see that provision is made for proper draining.

tion. This battery is still in use and in good condition.
 Because of the construction of the Gill battery with thick, narrow plates, assembled cross-wise in the jars, it is possible to make long drives with out any fear of battery trouble aris- ing from overheating or over-charg- ing as it is popularly called. The Gill battery has perfect circulation of the electrolyte and does not heat up on long drives with the generator oper- ating constantly. The plates will not buckle"

CANDIDATES BRING
POLITICAL BATTLE
TO CLIMAX TONIGHT
fBy Associated Press,

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 4.-Flares OF
red fire, food of political oratory and
shouts Of enthusiastic partisans will
bring the campaign in Indiana almost
to close tonight. There still remains
Monday for final appeal to the voters
and Tuesday on which day the vote
must be brought to the polls but inso-
FAR as the spellbinders and political

speak tonight Mr. Beverage will
wind up the campaign in this city
with an. address at a mass meeting
in a tabernacle. Mr.. Ralston finishes
tonight at Columbus following an az
ternoon speech at Brownstown.
The campaign which is coming to
close has been waged largely around
the personalities of the heads of the
tickets. Although the ballots will con-
tain the names of congressman, state
officers, state legislators and county
and township officers it is generally
agreed that the turn of the election
will depend upon the vote for the
leaders.
Both Parties Optimistic
Confident forecasts of the outcome
can be ATTAINED from both the Demo.
cratic and Republican camps. Repub-
lican leaders insist that the voters are
well satisfied with the record of the
national and state administrations
while Democrats declare that there is
a discomfort with the Republican tar

ton of public affairs that will be mani.
tested in the vote for senator, con-
gressmen and members Of the leg

The Democrats are confident that
they will make inroads into the solid
Republican congressional delegation
from the state and they are equally
sure that the top heavy maiorities of
