VOTE THE BONDS FOR A NEW
FIRE STATION.

Wallace has no debt bonded OF
otherwise. The government of the
city is in the hands of an admins
tration that has held down expenses
to the minimum without sacrificing
anything in the way of public service.
improvements have kept pace with
the requirements of the city in all de-
partments, with one notable excep-
ton, and it is to that department
that the Miner desires to again call
attention in the hope that the people
viii provide the means which will
enable the mayor and council to
bring it up to the standard demanded
by necessity and civic pride Up to
this time there has never been the
least ground for complaint regarding
financial support for the FIRE depart
ment. From the very beginning the
people of Wallace have displayed the
deepest interest in fire protection, be-
ginning with volunteer department,
adding to the equipment as conditions
required, erecting the present build
ing, establishing a system of pay for
hremen, installing an electric fire
alarm, and finally purchasing the most
approved motor trucks and fire engine
to take the place OF horse drawn fire.
fighting vehicles. The steady i'm
provement of the fire department has
been an outstanding feature of the
progressive spirit Of the people of
Wallace. and has resulted directly in
reduction Of insurance rates to the
minimum.
The equipment of the fire depart
ment today represents large invest
ment, and it is housed in the same
old building that housed the depart
ment in the old volunteer days, with
some changes to modernize it made
so long ago that the building as a
whole is now antiquated and wholly

MOTOR INDUSTRY DOES NOT FEAR!
 OLD JACK FROST

"OId King Winter no longer puts a blanket on the automobile business as in earlier days says Charlie Hammond, local dealer in Durant and Star cars.
 Before car heaters and the mod ern curtains that open with the doors were invented. the automobile owner could not comfortably ride in frosty weather, and furthermore, motor car engines did not always perform well at zero temperature.
 Now all that has changed. The modern automobile, if 1t Is rightly made, performs well in all sorts of weather. and so comfortably can it be fitted for winter that it is really a pleasure to ride.
 "The closed car. too, has played a great part In that change. The fines coach and-four of olden times could rot rival the comfort and dignity of the modern closed car. Well pro- tected from the elements, warmed by the car heated still a generous expanse of plate glass window makes the car as light and cheery as an open model, and excellently venti- lated at will.
 The closed car will never entirely displace the open models, but it is rapidly gaining. Manufacturers find the demand for closed models now

Certain notable changes in the de. sign of the Willys-Knight five and seven passenger sedans have greatly added to these two models already noted for their distinctive beauty Chief among these innovations are longer, freer lines sweeping back from the radiator, which immediately impart distinction that is much ad- mired by those who have inspected the models.
 This change alone is remarkable for the manner, in which it improves the appearance of the car, giving it a more fleet and racier outline so much desired by motorists who delight in well-bred trimness.

 Those who can so afford, will probably own both open and closed cars, but those whose purse permits single car, are deveuoping the opinion that the closed model is the all-year automobile. This belief is strengthened by King Winter who is rapidly bearing down on us and gives warning of needed protection.
 There is no one best time to buy an automobile. People purchase cars when they need them and find ex- getty what they want, and 1t may be in December or June Local deal CTS are looking forward to brisk season of automobile merchandising this winter, with the closed cars far in the sales lead.
 ''Proof positive Of the closed cars s importance in the industry is demon- strRted by the many automobile shows held this season exclusively for closed cars. Such shows received lively support from the public, and the display of latest models In closed types has influenced many owners to exchange open cars for closed.

 A clever arrangement of webbing in the roof of the car results in an as7 tonishing degree of inside quietness that has been widely commented upon.
