STAR CAR SALE
In DOUGLAS IS

Anyone would have tough time
telling the Linton Motor company,
Of Lowell. Cochise county distributors
of Star, Jewett and Pieree-Arrow au-
tomobiles, that business was the
bunk in Douglas, according to Red"
Linton, head of the firm, and his
gang of peddlers. A sales and serv-
ice branch of the firm is maintained
at 1898 G Avenue, Douglas.
Linton reports that Star car sales
in Douglas are on the increase. A
record established by the Linton firm
that of selling seven new Stars in
Douglas in six days, remains unbeat-
en-, according to Red"
During the brief period in which
the New Doy Jewett Six was on dis
play at the local branch, several or
ders were taken for the car, and de-
liveries will be made during the
forthcoming week, it is planned.
"Nothings wrong with Star and
Jewett business, except that we can't
get cars enough to satisfy the de-
mand," Linton cheerfully grouches,
if such thing is possible.

Be Healthy
BY j. w. Deeming, Physical Director
of the DOuglas Y. NJ. G. A.

BY j. w. Deeming, Physical Director
of the Douglas Y. NJ. c. A.
The following article by J. w.
Deemiag is the first of series on
health which will be published in
the Dispatch each Sunday:
It is the wish of the writer to
make these articles so simple that
even a child can understand them,
also to condense them so that the
time taken to read them will be cut
to the minimum and the articles re-
membered easily:
Many physical directors, like men
of other professions, have tried to
impress upon the layman's. mind that
their profession is such complicat-
ed thing that it takes a master mind
to grasp the inner workings Of 1T,
and the only thing the layman can
do is to take their word for every
thing they say regarding their spe-
cial line That is the reason why so
many people have ceased to think
for themselves, and, in many cases,
have given up hope of ever regain
ing their health unless they go to
great expense in both money and
time when in all probability few
simple exercises would have worked
wonders towards bringing them back
to normal condition.
If we could get health through
taking drugs or medicine we would
be wonderful specimens of physical
manhood. But it cannot be done. We
must go back to natural methods and
exercise. Until people begin to re-
MI a.
unable to make any great strides to-
wards health and strength.
Gladstone, the grand old man OF
Great Britain, said, "All the time
spent in training the body pays larg-
er than any other investment" He
spent one hour every day in physica
exercise He was one of the busiest
men in the world but he always
found it necessary to take exercises
He lived to ripe old age and was
active to the last.
OF course so many of our busy
people have not the time to exercise
They only have time to be sick. THAI
is different. Excuses do not builo
bodies or give US health. Let III
"cut" excuses out an dget to work
We cannot get health out of thu
medicine bottle. Don't fool with thu
most valuable thing you have-youl
health.
The first and second articles o
this series will be given over to thu
mental attitude of the person VIII
intends to take up exercise. 1t il
necessary for us to understand hov
the right mental attitude helps il

of our lives.

Seed Dealer of Naples,
Italy, May Sell Valencia
Onion Seed in This Area

A seed catalogue from NJ. Herb
seed dealer of Naples, italy, has been
received at the Douglas chamber OF
commerce in it's effort to boost Va,
lencia onion growing throughout the
valley again next summer.
The price on first-class, guaran-
teed Valencia onion seed, quoted by
Herb, is about so cents a pound, con-
siderably cheaper than it was pos
sible to purchase it in this section
last season. 1t is likely that the
chamber directors at their next meet
ing will order about 100 pounds OF
the seed from Herb which will be
sold to those farmers in the valley
desiring it.
The Peter Henderson Seed com
pany of New York City referred the
Douglas chamber to Herb for the
seeds.

BUICK NEVER AN
ORPHAN CAR
AYERS JACKSON

When you buy a Buick you can be
absolutely certain that your car will
never become an orphan" Cars be-
come orphans" when their makers
go out of business, and there is not
the least possibility of Buick ever
doing this. There is every indication
that Buick will be in business as
long as automobiles are made. So
says Geo. E. Jackson, of the South
ern Arizona Auto Co.
This is so because Buick is one of
the strongest business organizations
in the world. It's history date back
for twenty-one years and study of
that history clearly reveals the
source of Buick strength. TT shows
that Buick has been ably and sin
cerely managed from the very start,
and has richly deserved the success
that it has won. ITO build and to
build better" has ever been Bucks
aim.
But with this ideal of building bet
ter, and ever better, has been most
apparent in the product, it has play
ed an equally important part in the
development of the whole Buick or
ganization. The men who started
the Buick Motor company fully real
lied that in the long run car could
do no better than the company be-
hind it, So they devoted themselves
to building up sound, stable organ
ization. They might have built more
quickly if they had not been SO de-
termined to build soundly, but the
wisdom of their policy is shown by
the hundreds of automobile manufac-
turers who have passed into oblivion
while Buick grows stronger and
stronger year by year.
Thus Buick has a home in practi-
cally every community in contrast to
the orphan" car which has home
in none And in this vast coast-to-
coast organization as we'll as in the
mammoth Buick factories at Flint
you have visible proof of Buick
soundness and stability. You see
clear evidence of the statement that
your Buick will never become an
orphan car"

WILL FIGHT DIPTHERIA.

Cards have been distributed among
the children Of the local public. with
the information printed on them that
every child in the school could have
anti-diptheria treatment at small

Thousands Of m m un t e :

The disease has been the scourge Of

SAVE THE FARM wooDL AND
FROM FIRE DAMAGE.

With the autumn hunting season
at hand throughout the atate.
Thomas W. Skuee. Extension Forest
er Of the West Virginia College of
agriculture, rs making an appeal TO
all spertsmen to guard against forest
hreS He states that ordinarily a
great number of devasting forest
fires are caused each fall by hunters.
These fires net only destroy valuable
timber but also the better FERNS of
game animals and thereby defeat the
plans of the hunters themselves.
Mr.. Skuce says he Is usually an
prehensive of the fall hunting season
because from experience he ha.
learned that hunters are frequently
careless with matches. smoking to.
baceo. and camp fires. A great many
sportmen's organizations have, for
years, taken measures to prevent this
carelessnes by their members. Other
clubs and association are following
suit. In fact. the time is rapidly
approaching when hunters every
where will seek the woods with full
knowledge of forest fire conditions.
and these hunters will be of invalu-
able assistance in protecting West
Virginia's forests rather than being
the agencies through which so many
fires are started.
Mr., Sknce suggests that farmers
might often prevent many fires by
changing their attitude toward the
hunter. Heretofore, they have foughr
him. bat Il would be better for them
when possible, TO no hunting with
him and thus they would be able to
see that he used due care 10 prevent
