A BIG DEMAND
FOR BUICK CARS
Thousands Who Visit the
SalesrOOms are Buyers
Not LOCKERS"
HAVE BIGGEST YEAR

The wheels of the great Buick plant
are humming as they never hummed
Ibefore at this season of the year,
The demand for 1924 models has
been SO insistent and universal that
everybody in Flint bears that smile
that only accompanies abundant pros
perity and confidence, in its con-
tinuance. -
For more than year this condi-
tion has prevailed around the Buick
plant, but the opinion nevertheless
is freely expressed that the ensuing
year will dim past performances.
In fact the story of last fall, when
all Buick daily, weekly, monthly and
quarterly records were broken, is al
ready being dwarfed. President H..
H. Bassett states that in the month
of August more than 1920 automo-
biles were produced, this figure ex-
ceeding that of August, 1922, by
nearly 5000. On August 81, the Buick
daily production record of all time
was broken with 972 cars.
at is now certain" says President
Bassett, chat we will greatly exceed
that total in the month of September"
Visiting the various executive Of
fees proof multiplies that it was not
merely curiosity that drew more than
million people to Buick show-rooms
on the first four days of August.
This is particularly manifest in the
Offices of General Sales Manager E. T.
Strong, where the principal task seems
to be to equitably allot the scarcely
adequate supply of cars.
eve are doing the best we can for
everybody" said Mr.. Strong, "but it
is not sufficient"
"There seems to be no weak spot
on the map" continued Mr.. Strong.
"From coast to coast, city or ham
let, from all directions there is a
continuous food of requests for in
creased allotments."
According to both Mr.. Bassett and
Mr.. Strong, this unprecedented call
for Buick cars can only mean that the
new 1924 models have caught the pub
lie fancy to an extraordinary degree.

BOOSTS
PRODUCTS SHOW
Head of Marketing Bureau
Sees Great Value from
Exposition.
ASKS co OPERATION
(By United Press)

Milwaukee, Wis-Not only can the
mutually of the interests of Wiscon-
sin producers be established, but also
an opportunity is offered for direct
sale of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of commodities, Edward
Nordman, commissioner of the Wiscon-
sin department of markets said to-
day, urging all the producing factors
in Wisconsin to get together in MAX
ing the second annual Wisconsin Pro-
ducts Exposition to be held in the
Auditorium, December to 8, an even
bigger success than last year.
Nordman's statement follows:
Preparations are going forward
for making this exposition a bigger
and better affair than it was even
last year when it was generally con-
coded to have been one of the largest
and must useful expositions of its
kind in America. No pains will be
spared to make this show directly
representative of the varied industries
that have made their homes within
the boundaries of our states.
Sees Value of Cooperation.
tThe object of this exposition is the
same as it was last year namely to
bring the producers of all kinds of
products and those of all shades of
opinion together under one roof where
for one week they will be compelled
to see something of each others
problems and to acquire first hand
knowledge of their mutual relation
~, oTo -
whole. 1t is safe to say that this last
proposition, namely, the mutually Of
interests of producers in industry is
the least understood and the most
important of all the factors that make
for industrial progress. Strange as
it may seem our producing elements
are just beginning to understand that
fact. A majority of our producers
have so far thought mainly of ways in
which they could make their own
business or labor more efficient and
by that means profitable to themselves.
Now these producers are learning that
other producers besides themselves
are the outlet of market for their
goods or services and that there is
no prospect of substantial prosperity
LOT one uLI6SS IL is enjoyed Dy LnS
other also. In other words our pro-
ducing classes are finding out that
it pays to take an interest in each
others success and it is this spirit
among farmers and manufacturers
that made the exposition last year
and that promises to make it still
bigger and better in December.
"a feature of the exposition last
year that should not be overlooked
was the sale of outsiders of thousands
of dollars worth of Wisconsin, pro-
ducts. With the publicity given to
the project last year there are good
reasons for expecting large increase
in this class of business the present
season besides the new business
contract that will be established
without doubt.
II heartily commend the Wisconsin
Products Exposition to the people
of our state"

Rules Mah-Jongg
Calls for Proficiency

Manila ah-Jongg, the great Chi
nese game of dominoes, is not game
of chance A competent court of the
land has ruled thus, and it is so or
dt ed.
The above decision was rendered in
case against Teo Tong, Lee 10y, So
Chez and Kuong Chang, all Chinese,
arrested on the charge of gambling.
The case came before Judge Manuel
V. Moran, who based his decision on
the case of the United States VS..
Liong-sin. In his decision, however,
Judge Moran regrets the fact that To-
cal authorities have not approved any
measure regulating the game, as he
believes that Mah-Jongg is a game in
which fortunes may be won and lost.
Judge Moran makes a lengthy anal
ysis of the game in which he says
that while the element of luck plays
an important part in the winning of
the hand, the game in itself is one Of
ability rather than luck. He concludes
that the element of luck is limited,
and as the game advances this ele-
ment is more and more reduced by
the proficiency of the player.
His conclusion that in Mah-Jongg
fortunes may be won or lost is based
on story in which it is related that
four wealthy Chinese once played the
game, wagering a grain of rice for
each title. The player playing East
Wind, the story runs, put over mas
ter stroke by virtue of which his three
opponents ard their descendants for
three generations had to cultivate L.
600 hectares (2,50O acres) of land
planted to rice in order to pay what
East Wind had won.

YOU CLIMBING X
OR SLIPPING?
Travelling on a Dead Finan-
ciaI Level Leads to the
Down Grade.
HOME is A CREDIT

BY EDGAR TAYLOR WHEELoCK,
Copyright. 1928, The American Press
League.)
The man who saves and invests his
savings until he has enough to Justify
him in building a home is on the up
grade.
The man who spends all he earns
as fast as he gets it is ready to start
on the down grade.
The former will in time become
independent and able to provide for
his family many comforts and pleas
ures denied to the families of renters.
The latter may, when misfortune
comes, be forced to turn his family
out to grass. That this is fact you
need only to read the child labor
laws.
Money invested in home is profit
ably invested. The home is property
with a capital p. In time of trouble
it is Credit with big G.. At all times
it saves rent.
If the members of family are in
dustrious and like to live amid pleas
ant surroundings they can labor to
make their home beautiful and in
crease it's value. If they make inn
provements in and around rented
house they tempt the landlord to raise
the rent
There are more than 5000 building
and loan associations in the United
States organized for the express pur-
pose of building homes for each other
on the cooperative plan. They are to
be found in nearly every city in the
country. They help their members to
save in order to get a start. They pay
interest on savings. They lend money
with which to build or buy homes.
Any head of ag~family who is am
bilious to own "a home should consult
the officers of his local association.

London Labor is becoming in

With a view to trying to get its

Gus, when a Chicago, Burlington and

ed through a bridge fourteen miles
east of Casper last night into Coal
Creek river. The wreck occurred at
an isolated spot near Lockett, and it
was not until hours afterward that
some Of the details Of the accident
became known here.
The train plunged into Coal Greek,
swollen to many times its normal
depth because of cloudbursts and heavy
rains, and passengers were engulfed
in the raging torrent that poured
through the channel with little or no
chance$,of escape.
A wrecking crew sent from Casper
found upon arriving at the scene of
the tragedy that the work of attempt
ing the rescue of those caught in the
crash was practically impossible dur
ing the night because of the dark
ness and food conditions.
Early this morning no list of those
who persisted had been obtained.
