SUPPOSED DULL MONTHS
PROVE BIG ONES FOR
THE SALE OF PACKARDS

Although August and September
for years have formed the dold-
runs In the automobile business
sales OF Packard cars are pouring
in with nearly as great volume as
in previous months, say officers of
the company.
The coal strike and threats Of a
railroad strike have had but slight
effect on Packard business, dis
tributors in various parts Of the
country have reported to the fac
tory. There has been some effect
felt in Kansas and other western
states, due to the general effect on
business was the word from Kan
sas City.
The Packard Motor Car compa-
ny of Philadelphia in report on
general conditions said that the
threat of railroad strike does not
appear to be causing Philadelphia
any concern. This seemed to be
the general sentiment through the
east.
Announcement was made that
the company still is far behind its
orders, but with the factory work
ing at top speed there has been
an increase in production to the
point where the August schedule
for cars now is being met in the
total number of cars produced, al
though 1t is somewhat behind
schedule in the number of closed
cars with promises that the full
production of the various types Of
closed vehicles would be reached
by the latter part of September.
Talk of a railroad strike has in
creased very largely overland ard
steamer shipments Of cars from the
factory, said r. r. Chamberlain,
general sales manager Some deal
ers to avoid any possibility of their
cars being tied up in freight cars
by a walkout are driving their cars
overland. Many shipments for
eastern points have been going to
Buffalo by boat and thence to their
destination overland. A number
of western shipments also have
gone by steamer to Chicago to be
driven away from there.
The new bonus system instituted
by the Packard, which gives added
pay to all the members of each
department in direct ratio to add
ed production, is given credi. by
the company for big part in 'he
increas in production that has
been obtained. This increase has
eased the situation in deliveries
somewhat, say officers of the COM
pany. but there still are the same
insistent demands for increased
car allotments from distributors in
all parts of the country.

Undoubtedly there are thousands
of the nations high school stu
dents. among the 100000 who
competed with Miss Katharine
Butterfield of Welser, Idaho, for
the 1920 Firestone University
scholarship, who have wondered
how the winner of the grand prize,
in the first year of the scholarship,
regards the thoughtfulness of H.
S. Firestone, who founded the
scholarship, now that she has at
tended college for a period suffi-
cient to pass upon the merits of a
university training for women, and
how, in general, she enjoys college
life.
Through the courtesy of the do
nor of the scholarship this paper
prints for the interest OF local high
school students and others a brief
synopsis of an interesting letter re-
Gently received by Mr.. Firestone
from Miss Butterfield, who, it is
very apparent, finds it is difficult
adequately to express her appre-
citation of college life.
Through the Firestone scholar
ship" Miss Butterfield writes, "a
new life has opened up which
grows more and more interesting
and fascinating every day. / think
the scholarship makes college
seem bigger, broader and more
worthwhile. My first impression
of the university made evident
that it was privilege to be a
freshman, that not all of the fun
is at the freshman's expense, for
they enter at once into athletics
and everything else that furthers
the college spirit.
I'm fact, college life may be
epitomized in the words Of one of
our professors who told his class
that young men and women COM
ing to the university should get
fun. friends, facts and faith from
their college life. | am certainly
seeing better all the time that this
is just the case.
Much of the worth OF college
life is gained by the friends and
associates one makes, there is
great deal one can learn through
these sources. In fact, have but
begun to see what college life
really means now and in the fu-
ture. All of the unrelated facts
that I didn't connect in high school
are beginning to find their place
in correlated groups and the pro-
fessors as well as teaching facts
strive to add TO their students
ability to learn"

WOMEN DRIVERS
ON THE INCREASE

The number of women driving
cars these days may be counted by
the score. The female Of the spe-
cies even is projecting into The
ranks of jitney and bus drivers and
the hand that rocks the cradle is
proving steady at the wheel.
Women may also be found in the
automobile school learning all
about crank shafts, ignition and
other details. An interesting fact
in this connection is brought out
by a recent summary compiled by
the Firestone company. 1t shows
that women are much less often
called into court for disregardinG
motor ordinances or speed laws,
and the figures prove that lady
chauffeurs meet with far less ac-
cidents than do men.

Butterfield, II must say that 1t is
the Firestone scholarship that has
given me, and offers TO others,
this wonderful opportunity of col
lege life and all that it means"
1t is understood that informa-
ton respecting the 1923 Firestone
scholarship will be in the hands of
high school uperintendents and
principals in the near future.

SCRAPING DRIVER
WORST ROAD PEST

"The worst pest Of the highway
Is the driver who refuses to give
enough room to pass without
scraping," says local automobile
dealer.
"Many times 1t Is just plain
cussedness that causes driver to
get as close to the center of the
road as he dares. Other times it
is because the driver fails to judge
distance properly and thinks he
will run off the edge of the nigh
way If he gets too close.
Then there is the man who
drives right at you and sweryes to
his side of the road just when you
think he is surely going to smash
your car. He is just plain fool.
and that Is his pleasant way of
having fun with you"

The Fargo Forum suggests that
Senator Ladd be employed to run the
state mill at Grand Forks when it is
completed, and that it will pay the
state to pay him double the salary
he is getting now as senator. 1t
will be remembered that Senator
Ladd, when he was at the head of
the Agricultural College, operated a
small state mill for experimental
purposes and that he furnished the
Nonpartisan administration some ell
ahorate figures showing how much
money was made by milling the
wheat at home. These figures. were
used extensively for campaign pur-
poses by the League speakers. If
Senator Ladd did not tell lie he
will be valuable man to run that
mill.
