 LOOP TO MEET
Fast Teams Play In New Baseball League
 Saturday


 TARRANT CITY, Ala, June 12.- Especial. )-The Tarrant City Industrial league will go into the second week of play Saturday, June IA, with the following schedule: Tarrant City at Lehigh Portland Cement company, Boyles at Kilby Frog and Switch com pany and National Cast Iron and Pipe company at Ketona. This league, while young, furnished three very in- teresting games last week, which was opening week. !. There was a lot of in- terest shown by the outside public as there was a good crowd pulling for each team. ne
 The Ketona team should have little trouble defeating the fast Pipe shop team as they will have the edge on them in pitching when they send their big right-hander, Trucks, up against them. Lehigh will have to send in their best to hold Tarrant City, who has improved. their team over last week. Boyles and Kilby Frog and Switch company should really furnish a most interesting game, as the two teams are about evenly matched.

 FROM MEETING With Smith Attends Con- vention Of Duco
 Dealers

. H. A. Drennen, and w. B. (Red) Smith, have just returned from a trip to the factories of the Dupont deMe- Mours company, at Parlin, N. J., where Duco is made. The occasion of the trip was three-day convention of Duco distributors from all parts of the coun- try, over a hundred being present. An interesting tour of the plant was ar ranged for these distributors who came away more enthusiastic than ever about the merits of Duco.
 While. at the convention, l heard of a remarkable test of the endurance of Duco," said MT. Smith During the recent epidemic of the hoof and mouth disease in California, cars crossing the border were fumigated before they were allowed to. proceed. It is said that cars that were painted and vanished all turned white and had to be re- painted while cars finished with Duco withstood the Immigration process with out any harm whatever another ex- ample of Duco stamina was that of two tourists who were caught in a sandstorm in the west. The one with a Duco finish came through with his finish intact and unharmed, while the one with a painted car lost his finish as though a sandblast had stripped it off"
 Drennen Motor Car company is dis tributor for Alabama for Duco product and process.

INCREASE SHOWN
 IN NASH SALES Mccormack Finds Unre- ceding Demand In
 November

Nash sales for November rose 66 per cent beyond the greatest previous No vember in the history of the Nash Mo- tors company. Following close on the heels of October, the greatest month Nash ever had and at period of the year when dull business is expected by the industry, November 20 still found dealers in all sections of the country facing an apparently unreceding de- mand. When figures for Chicago and Cook county were made available they showed that Nash ran past every oth CT, excepting Ford, in total registra tions; likewise registration figures from Wisconsin showed Nash second only to Ford in Milwaukee and Milwaukee county, taking each individual car into consideration.

 "To return to November, it outstrip- per in point of shipments every month of 1923 except May and June, when the selling season normally is at its peak, and the month just closed also was bigger than any previous Novem- Der in the history of the Nash Motors company by 2,336 cars.

MT. Kirkpatrick found a number, of good Studebaker prospects at the show. F. R.

PEP FUEL GOOD
 ON COLD MORNING
Famous Wofford Blend Claims
 Quick Start v

Just as in the good old days the book beer signs displayed in the windows of the old "grog shop," denoted the early advent of spring, so in these latter days the display of "Anti-freeze" signs at service stations betokens the fact that old man "Winter" has begun his an- nual tour. Which reminds one of the story of the man who put anti-freeze in his gasoline so his car would start easier, being satisfied from the difficulty he had experienced in starting that hls gas had frozen up. The foregoing para graph is just way that Charlie Arm strong had of leading up to the state ment that the man who used Woco-Pep experienced that supreme satisfaction of hearing his motor come to life at about the second turn of the starter. Charlie vouches for the positive truth of the assertion that motors do start quicker on the coldest days-if you Use Woco-Pep.
