MOTOR CARS ARE
 LESS EXPENSIVE
Can Be Purchased For Less
 Than Before World rs K War

'"rbe motor car is one of the very few commodities that can be purchased today for less. than in 1913, before the war.
 This fact has never been brought home to the public, yet it explains in great measure the sale, of more than 100000 vehicles in 1923, which is 90 per cent ahead of any proceeding year." points out H. F. Bissell of Bissell Motor company.
 ''The striking fact of the low price of automobiles today has been brought out through figures supllied by the Natioial Automobile Chamber of Com tires and gasoline actually cost less today than before the war.
 Today you can purchase III cents worth of automobile, 101 cents worth of gasoline and 123 cents worth of tires with your 1913 dollar, despite the fact that you can get only 6l cents worth of general necessities.
 Today you can purchase 40 cents worth of Oakland with the 1913 dollar, as the models we put out then were 10 per cent higher in price than the greatly improved new Oakland.
 ''The prewar dollar is worth today only 51.6 cents in clothing, 6S.5 cents in food, 61.2 cents in rent, 45 cents in frame and 46.3 in brick buildings.
 "Furtllermore, the current models of motor vehicles and the present types of tires are far better than 10 years ago, even at the lower prices prevail ing today.
 The motor Car industry has met the problem of higher labor. materials and tax expenditure by the economies of large scale production, reducing prices in confidence that the public would respond to the exceptional value. That the public has actually done so is matter of .automOtive history"

POET PRAISES BEAUTY OF CAR Extols Charm Of Willys-knight
 In Clever
 Verse

That poets can find beauty and charm even in mechanical objects is once more illustrated by the lifting verse written by Dr. James Ball Naylor about his Willys-Knight. Dr. Naylor not long ago became the proud possessor of a Willys-knight and so struck was he by the symmetry and beauty of it's appear ance and the charm of its quiet opera ton that the appended poem was the result
 Dr. Naylor is writer of national prominence, as witness his various books of verse and prose, notable among them being Golden Art and Thistle down." The Sign of the Prophet" Under Mad Anthony's Banner" 1.-The Kentuckian." "Old Home Week" and ruany others.
 For years he had been connected with the editorial staff of the Marion Star, President Harding's newspaper, and is at the present time affiliated with the Chicago Journal of Commerce. Dr. Naylor's eulogy of the Willys- Knight follows:
 MILES OF SMILES A smile, and mile-and over the
 hills
 And afar.. and afar away! And the motor purrs and the good
 car whlrS-
 And the woods and the fields are
 gay.
 For life is strife in the marts of
 trade,
 But the country affords delight And a hundred miles mean a hun
 drpd smiles
 When you ride in the Willys-
 Knight!
 A mile, and smile-and we're off,
 we're off
 And the cool morn's fragrant
 kiss, And the wind from the south,
 brings a taste to the mouth Like the tang of our childhood's
 bliss; And the motor sings-and the good
 car springs
 To the work. in its merry might; And a hundred miles mean a hun
 dred smiles
 When you ride in the Willys-
 Knight. s A smile and a miIe-and burst
 of speed
 To the shrill of the bobwhite's
 fife 1!
 For the day is new and the sun
 and dew
 Are as spice to the wine of life; And the motor sings, and the good
 car swings
 As the chauffeur guides aright; And a hundred miles mean hun
 dred smiles
 When you ride in the Willys-
 Knight!

fit derived from the ownership of motor car is the saving in time which 1t effects. Motor car owners are con etantly becoming more critical as to the manner in which their cars are seryiced. Many owners have made the mistake of buying their cars from dealers who have failed to provide an efficient parts and service department for the benefit of the owners of their cars. The purchase of car from such a dealer invariably brings about a loss in the cars efficiency and re- grets on the part of the buyer.
 Many authorities in the automobile industry have stated that they would prefer to own a poor car that was properly serviced than good car poor ly serviced. That is a natural con clusion to draw. for very often an owner may be without the use of his

If the prince is robbed it is by want of tact"
 That is tradition of the ancient and dishonorable craft of robbery and pocket picking as practiced in Great Britain. says the New York Journal.

some of them have made discoveries,

really are; but we have conclusive
proof Con Centennial mountain)

to a depth at which we never before
looked for values in the Pre-Cam-

about this district is the vast area

platinum, eight miles north and west
of it, in both cases these were pri-

Some people are OF the opinion
had the discovery Of platinum in this
district is q very recen affair. but
such Is not the case. Platinum has
been known to exist in the Medi-
cine Bow range for a number Of
years, and one OF the richest mines
in the west, failed to make good,
simply because they were unaware
OF the presence of platinum in their
ore, until after they had been in
operation for a number of years.

are causing quite a sensation just
now, but they will a far great
