Ackley Can Tell
Ford From Ford

All flivvers may look alike to

"Slick' insists every flivver has
distinguishing marks and that no
matter how hard Mr.. Ford works
to standardize his product every
flivver has IA distinguishing mark
or squeak, as the ease may be.

in noticing these differences S. w.
Williams, colored, is in the county
Jail today, awaiting outcome of an
investigation to determine who owns
the car he was driving when arrest
ed by Ackley last night.
A month ago Ackley arrested q
man named Smith on charges of
speeding. Smith failed to appear
and Ackley has been looking for
him and the car ever since. Last
night he recognized the machine
speeding along on the Calexico

but it was not Smith. 1t was
Williams and he could not give sat
isfactory evidence of ownership
Officials believe the car is a stol-

REPORT STATES
NATION ENJOYING
GOOD BUSINESS
ny United Press Leased yvj~r

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Ame-
rica is still riding on wave of
prosperity with indications that
1926 will be the greatest business
year in history with the exception
of the war boom period.
The federal reserve board an.
nounced today that industrial pro-
duction in the first six months of
the year was larger than in any pre-
vious corresponding period.
Agriculture crops, with the ex-
ception of corn, oats and hay, have
improved in the last month because
of favorable weather, indicating
farmers will come in for a small
share of the prosperity.
Building construction for the first
first six months is ahead of the
same period for 1925. Automobile
producers are turning out machines
in record numbers.
Evidence that small merchants
were enjoying good times was shown
in reports that only commercial
firms failed in June, much below
the total for the previous month.
Bank failures were larger in
June than for any previous month
of the year, however, with 7708 insti
tutions reporting deposits of $41,-
737, 900 going out of business. The
majority of these failures were in
the Atlanta and Minneapolis re-
serve districts. ->s 81

Them.
by United Press Leased Wire

SALEM, KY, Aug. 12.-Five min
ers entombed in zine and spar
mine here since last Thursday were
rescued alive today by workers who
had tOiled to reach them under ut
most difficulties.
The men were trapped in a pocket
by fall of rock, but fissure sup
piled them with fresh air. Fresh
water also ran through their place
of entombment.
The men were rescued by Free
man Cobb, who crawled into the old
shaft of the mine, through the mud
and slush and met his brother,
Ralph Cobb, and his brother-in-law
Roy James, who had started to
crawl out of the pocket. These two
men were brought out first.
He then went back after George
Catillo, U. B. Wilson and Harry
Watson, the remaining three men.
Officials had all but given up
hope of rescuing the entombed men
alive. More than 500 men worked
day and night to reach them. Five
others who were in the mine when
rock and water started pouring down
escaped by fleeing 400 feet before
the rush and climbing timbers to
safety.
The crew had been operating n
drill 600 feet from the mine en-
trance and were believed to have
struck an overhead lake.
The men were in good condition,
according to rescuers, but weak from
lack of food and the chill air of
the mine.
Only Ono Injured
After six days and seven nights
of frantic labor the men were led
out of the old mine shaft in which
they were imprisoned by fall of
rock, at 7:15 this morning.
Wives, mothers and children
made little demonstration as they
saw the men whom they had almost
despaired of as dead. There We're
no embraces, no hysterical sob
bing.
Only one of the five miners APP
peared today to be suffering in the
least from an Imprisonment of
more than one hundred and fifty
hours. George Catillo fell in a
step-off in the inky blackness Sun
dav night and wrenched his back.
A chill followed Catillo's injury
and his four companions, forgetting
their own discomforts, literally COW
cred him with their bodies to ward
off the chattering cold that they
feared might end in death.
