MASH ANNOUNCES
A NEW SEDAN
Nash Motors Puts a New
Advanced Six Sedan on
the Market.
'"THE SURPRISE CAR"

Announcement is made of the intro
duction by Nash Motors of new five
passenger Advanced Six sedan at the
low figure of SLABS, f. o. b. factory.
This was surprise car" at the New
York Automobile show and is on dis
play here.
For some weeks it had been rumored
that Nash was planning TO announce
an enclosed car of this type, powered
with the big Nash Six motor but those
who have had an opportunity to see
the car were taken completely off their
feet by the extremely fine custom-built
quality of the coach work construction
in striking contrast to the low price.
On a 121-Inch Chassis.
"Mounted gracefully close to the
roadway on the 121-inch Advanced Six
chassis the new sedan is a charming
picture of motor car beauty" says E.
H. McCarty, general sales manager
of the Nash Motors company. cts
pleasing length and closeness are ac-
centuated by the trim bevel beading
which completely encircles the body"
"The doors are exceptionally wide.
And in the interior snugness has been
achieved without sacrifice of comfort.
There is spacious room for FIVE full
grown passengers to recline in per-
feet ease.
Has Fine Appointments.
"The deep restful seats are uphol-
stored in a choice grade of mohair
cloth. Appointments and fixtures re-
fleet good taste and refinement. This
beautiful low-priced sedan is de-
Iiberate attempt of Nash engineers to
build an enclosed car value of high
quality at the least possible price.
"There is little doubt but that it
will prove an outstanding attraction
at the show"

Design of WOmen's
Hats 800 Years Old

London "Pikeman's pot" styles in
wonien's hats, designed after the steel
helmets Of the 18th century pikemen
represented in the collection of arms
ana armor of the Tower of London
are the latest sensation in fashion
able London millinery.
For some time, milliners have hunt
ed for designs that would, by their
novelty of appeal, lure women away
from the popular cloche fashion. Earl
fer in the season they thought that a
successful riva! had been found in the
square crowned hat, but this was vot-
ed down by fastidious clients.
Now the 18th century helmet is
being used as model for the mid
winter hat. The feather-weight felt of
the season--steel grey is the favorite
color choice for realistic. effects

and tuft of feathers gives the fem

PREDICT 1926 AS
BIG BADGER YEAR
Investigators Show Pros
poets for New Year in
Wisconsin Progress.
FULL OF OPTIMISM

Now the federal government
through its investigators in all states
of the union is predicting big things
again. Wisconsin comes in for eonsid-
cradle share of the optimism accord
ing to the industrial, agricultural
and general employment prospects
survey for 1925 based on information
received from federal-state directors
of the United States employment SER
vice and commissioners of labor sta
toned in Wisconsin,.
The report is considered as one of
the most reliable and authoritative
prepared to show which way the wind
lies for the new year.
Look for Great Increase.
"There is no lack of optimism re-
garding industrial prospects for 1925,
and in some cases it is felt that lit
tie caution in forecasting needs to be
exercised" says the report from
Washington in its section devoted in
Wisconsin.
From all quarters of the state re-
ports agree that industrial prospects
for 1925 are good. Many look for con-
siderable advances in total volume OF
manufactures, private and public pro-
grams, ETC. If improvement in metal
working, woodworking, and many
other lines materialize in accordance
with forecasts, skilled labor other
than building-trades men will be in
greater demand than during 1924. The
building program for both private and
public projects for the state as
whole seems to be quite little great
er for 1925 than for the past year,
and it may be expected that the en-
ployment of building-trades men of
all classes will at least equal this
years record. The building construc-
tion season is being heightened from
year to year by changes in construc-
ton methods and arrangements to
permit the building operations to be
started earlier in the spring and to be
carried on later in the fall despite
cold weather Wisconsin is already
an outstanding state in the production
of canning peas and sugar beets. In
both of these items the farming acre
ages are expected to increase next
year. The progress in intensive dairy
ing methods continues, and generally
the condition of farmers may be ex-
pected to be as good next year, espec-
tally if farm prices are good. In GER
tain sections of the state the tobacco
and potato acreages may be reduced,
in view of quite improbable produc-
ton. The corn acreage will probably
be increased to take up acreage re-
leased from tobacco and potato cul-
ture."

What Type Wheat
the Miller Wants

Manhattan, Kan.-Farmers within
hearing distance of station KSAC.
the broadcasting station of the Kan
sas STATE Agricultural College, listen
ed in to an instructive talk that needs
rebroadcasting to every wheat grow
er. in the county.
1t was made by H. G. Randall, a
miller of Kansas City, and its sub
ject was what kind of wheat the
miller needs.
Summing up his talk, Randall OUT
lined the following miller's needs in
his call for high-grade wheat;
1. Wheat unmixed with other
grains. at is expensive for the
miller to clean out corn and oats"
Randall points out. Grinding wheat
with even small percentage of rye
results in bread which is small,
course and dark"
2. Wheat free from every foreign
material, particularly dirt, chaff and
weed seeds. 'They can be cleaned
out, but no one will pay top price
for dirty wheat" says Randall.
8. High test weight. very light
weight wheat makes very poor quail
ity flour"
4. Dry wheat "Threshing should
never be done when the straw is
damp" Randall advises. SWEET wheat
is light test and is almost sure to
become damaged while in storage"
5. Ripe wheat IF it has been cut
green it is light test and will make
poor flour"
6, Smutless and weevil-proof
wheat.
Z. Wheat with a high degree of
protein. Grinding such wheat"
Randall concludes, results in a
large, while, fine-grained loaf @S
bread"

FORD GOES IN FOR
MANY SIDE LINES
Sell Everything from Coal
to Glass in Many Plants
of Ford Company.
TAKING OVER PLANTS

| The Ford Motor Company has de-
veloped a by-products business which
during 1924 has brought in more than
SIS, 100000. This is entirely aside
from it's enormous motor vehicle bu-
siness and is the result of the Com
panie's activities in lines generally
not associated with the manufacture
of automobiles.
The most remarkable feature of
this division, however, is that nearly
100000 of the business comes from
the sales of by-products reclaimed
from waste. What the average large
manufacturer considers as waste ma
terials, the Ford Motor Company is
mot only turning into profits but in
so doing is contributing large
measure to the conservation of nat
ural resources.
Production of Ford cars, trucks and
tractors has grown so great that the
company has gradually taken over
control of sources of raw materials
in order to insure constant produc-
ton. This has lead to the develop
ment of coal and iron mining, logg-
ing operations, glass manufacture
and similar basic industries, surplus
materials from which are dispensed
through a new department and find
ready sale in the public markets.
Use All By-Products.
Coal brought into the River Rouge
plant from the Ford mines goes into
the coke ovens, yielding coke, most of
which the company uses, and such by
products as gas, benzol and ammonium
sulphate, which are sold and bring in
more than $1,150,000 annually.
Slags from the blast furnaces at
River Rouge is transformed into Port
land cement at a new plant having a
capacity of 1000 barrels day.
At Iron Mountain, now the center Of
the company's body parts industry,
the largest wood distillation plant in
the world in recovering from the hard
wood scrap a number of valuable by
products. These include charcoal,
pitch, creosote, ethyl acetate, refined
wood alcohol, methyl acetone and ace
tate of lime. A number of these by
products are used by the company, but
all in excess of it's requirements are
sold and will bring an estimated re
turn of more than $2,500O00 annually.
Charcoal, principal of these by-pro-
ducts, is made into briquets and as
clean, hot fuel sells readily for use
in dining car and hotel kitchens and
in households.
Another source of revenue at Iron
Mountain is the sale of surplus lum-
Der.
Plate glass is made at the company's
three glass plants. Grades not suit
able for Ford cars and glass in small
sizes, is sold to mirror companies and
various other concerns.
At Hamilton, Ohio, there is 1900
acre experimental farm adjoining the
Ford wheel factory. Farm products
and livestock can, therefore, be added
to the list, along with the electric po-
wer, which the company also sells.
The sales of surplus factory scrap
metal and non-metallic material reach
es enormous productions. From these
items alone the company realizes more
than 100000 a year.
Though the by-products department
is considered more or less as. a side
line by the Ford Motor Company, it
alone compares favorably in annual
volume of business with many of the
country's larger concerns.

OCEAN CITY "HOME RULE"
CONVENTION

We have received a detailed re-
port Of the purported 'Home Rule"
convention, held at Ocean City, Md,
on Saturday, August 20.
With such men as Senate Bruce
and Congressman John Philip Hill,
of Maryland, of well known wet
proclivities, dominating the conven-
ton and railing, as usual, at the
Prohibition Amendment, it is not
hard to see that the Home Rule"
convention was just another wall OF
Maryland's wet politicians, who are
doing their utmost to help the dis
credited liquor interests, outlawed
in the United States, and being
kept outlawed by the right thinking
people of our country, despite the
mouthings of such wet satellites as
Bruce, Hill, and others of their ilk,
who in the past have done yoe-
man service for a cause that has
not a single sound argument in it's
favor.
