BUICK DISTRIBUTES
 MILLION AND HALF
Over 2O,OO0 Monthly Is Record
 Of Manufacturers

On March g. 1898, Buick cclo- hrated the building of the milIionth Buick, Approximately eighteen years were consumed in the accomplish ment.
 on December l6, 1925, Buick reached the million and q half mark, A million Buicks in eighteen years ~-the next half million in two years and nine months,
 At the present time, public de- mand calls for more than 9o,0U0 Ruicks every month. This means the next half million in inc hands of Guick owners, within two years.
 These hare figures tell a graphic story of Buick's continuous advance in public regard. The great accol- cration of demand, nt the present time, speaks strongly of the in- creased value and dcsirability in the Better Buick.
 Leadership belongs 10 Buick be- cause a nation familiar with many motor cars has given 1t to Buick.

NEW SALES RECORD
 FOR DODGE CARS
Deliveries Of All Types Show Increase in Demand
January was the biggest January

January was the biggest January
 n the history of Dodge Brothers. Ineu and Graham Brothers accord. ing to official figures just given out ht the offices in Detroit. Actual re. tail deliveries of 14.9f3 cars and trucks was the record reached in tho four weeks ending January 30. This was an increase over the same pe- riod ot January, 1925, the greatest previous January for Dodge Broth CTS, of Gols cars, gain of 67,4 per cent. The gain over January 1928. Inc banner year prior 10 1925 for the automotive industry, was even greater.
 New orders for the month reached an even higher figure. 19,21S units
 The biggest January week in Dodge Brothers history was the ending the Soth, when deliveries of motor vehicles reached 4.376. an in crease of more than S2 per cent over the same week of year ago.
 The delivery of ASS cars for the week ending January 16 was a gain of 101 per cent over the correspond ins week of the previous year,
 These cumulative advances are at trthuted by Dodge Brothers execu- tiyes 10 the radical reductions in prices on all types of Dodge Broth CTS cars which were made public January '. at the same time that marked Improvements were made in all types.
 The figures announced by Dodge Brothers, Inc, represent actual de- liveries to car owners for immediate use, not factory shipments of cars for storage to supply anticipated spring demand.
 The demand that American car buyers are now making on the auto motive industry Is indicated by the fact that Dodge Brothers retail sales are running ahead of deliveries al- though the production schedule was close to 1,100 cars day all during January. With the new buildings and machinery provided by $1o,- o00,o0 expansion program, Dodge Brothers expect 10 increase produc- ton 10 I,500 cars daily before the end of February.

More than 50 per cent of the farm women in the mid western and northern states run their own cars. The survey which brought out these figures does not tell how these women use their cars. but since the same survey shows that GIT per cent of the farm women in that district still draw water from wells or pumps outside of the house and only 27S per cent have sinks with drains in their kitchen, if is safe to say that they are not burning lip much gas in "gadding,"

America is quick to recognize new winner. litmeets public approval, popularity is contagious for new song, movie star, new style in wom- ens fashions, or new motor car. Never has popularity been awarded new automobile so spontaneously and universally as the new Auburn Straight 8 now enjoys. Already predictions for this year have been surpassed Although intro duced only three months ago, this new-type car has sprung irresistably into public esteem and con- hdence on an unprecedented scale.
 Today Auburn is the vogue, ltis the most talked about car ot the year. No one ever compares the Auburn to any other car but one of the few most costly makes Iti distinction to drive one. In building this wonder-car Auburn did not fol- low either one of the common tendencies of the day. Auburn daringly struck a new note in new low design, getting away from old-stye top

 Industry Need Most?

 Smart two color finish alone, nor original design alone, nor even the phenomenal performance alone could warrant such an unprecedented de- mand for this new car. But performance and comfort, combined with the most pronounced characteristic of the Auburn, make it the greatest value on the market today.
 This pronounced characteristic is ability to stand up and endure under the hardest usage 1uith 1ninimum of annoyance and attention. By pro- ducing an engineering masterpiece, by using only thevery finest of materials, by having not one single weak unit and by the most careful workmanship and extreme testings, Auburn has met the greatest need of the automobile industry-the need for reli-

Armed with cameras and film, type writers and eagerness, an American Nature Association expedition, will ar rive in Seward shortly from the south in their own vessel, "The Westward" The magnet which has drawn the par ty to this district of the Territory is little speck on the map, beneath the Arctic Circle, 'twixt Alaska and Sibe- ria, the Pribilof Islands.
 Great Scolonies of sea birds make their homes there amid forbidding rocks. Foxes rear their young in fields that flower luxuriantly with blue lupines and Arctic peoples. Great rookeries of fur seals set fin only on these volcanic islands of the Boring ca, living as in centuries before the advent of man.
 The Westward is to spend the sum- mer in. the north on a scientific and pleasure voyage. It carries a crew of six, including Captain A. Grove. for merly of the lighthouse tender Cedar, two engineers, mate, deckhand and cook. The family includes Mrs. Church, Campbell, jr., Adelaid, Betty, and Peggy. The yacht itself is one of the most attractively rigged small boats that has ventured Alaskan wa ters. It is a roomy craft, handsomely furnished and has a 110-h.p. engine. giving it speed of eight knots. MT. Church is to be joined at Sew ard by William L.

THE SUCKER STATE
Why is Illinois called the Sucker State !?

Why is Illinois called the Sucker State?
We've heard interesting reasons given for call
ing Indiana the Hoosier State, Ohio the Buckeye
State and on, but the reason for the nick
name long attached to Illinois.
The public utility corporations of Illinois looked
the political field the recent senatorial pri-
maries approached. They made their decision In
the Republican primary they put their money a lot
of it, on Frank L. Smith, and Smith thereby was
nominated. In the Democratic primary they put
their money on George Brennan-not so much of it,
because it was not necessary-and Brennan was
nominated
Republicans of Illinois will now march to the
polls on election day and vote for Frank L, Smith
Democrats will march to the polls and vote for
Brennan.
One or the other will be elected Whichever It
is, the public utility corporations will have their
man in the United States Senate. What will the
common run of Republicans and Democrats the peo-
pie of the State of Illinois, get of it? Nothing
Then why do they accept situation like this?
Well the people Of Illinois are called Suckers
Can any reader of the Times tell how Illinois
got its nickname?

called the Sucker State?

WALKS THE PLANK

Another good operator of United States ships
has felt the shipping board ak.
T. H. Rossbottom operator of the United States
steamship lines under the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton, is to be returned to the War Department.
Rossbottom was loaned to the fleet corporation
by the War Department, because of his fine record as
operator Of the Panama Railroad Steamship Com
pany War Department subsidiary. He continued
this record as operator of the great United States
fleet on the Atlantic and recent reports have been
that the deficit in operation of this fleet has been
steadily cut down. and that the ships promised soon
to show profit
A profit of course, might cause the American
people more strenuously to protest against getting
rid Of the ships at bargain prices to private
operators, the clearly indicated policy of the shipping
board when it retired Elmer E. Crowley and in
stalled Gen. A c. Dalton head Of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation.
1t seems if you try to run the United States lines
efciently and to make money for the country with
them, sooner or later you are retired. What's the
answer?

JUST AS IMPORTANT

The challenge of the head of the State Demo
cratic party to Senators Watson and Robinson to
show what their nominations cost in money will
probably not worry those gentlemen much.
They have filed their accounts of expense to
which their regular organizations went in rounding
up the voters
Unless there is some evidence that such &C
counts not accurate, inquiry would not result
in any great public Indignation
What is just as important is to discover how
the great Motto machine was brought together
that at one time the boast was made that there
1000 workers in its ranks for Watson.
If that were true, the workers not so in
auental, for the average would be three to
worker.
The plain truth is that the two Senators had
working agreement under which the local machine,
which is quite devoted to Robinson, delivered the
votes and the count to Watson in Marion County in
return for votes for Robinson from other parts Of
the State. Watson had his bargain with the gentle
man from Atlanta to help him.
"A senatorial inquiry might disclose some very
interesting deals and bargains made by Watson and
Robinson
Their nominations came, of course, largely by
default.
One-third of the voters in the Republican party
did vote a protest against Wisconsin very large
portion of the voters thoroughly understanding that
there was little chance to defeat him stayed away
from the polls. That helped Robinson.
* Just important money in influencing pri-
maries are those subter forms of tyranny under
which a free expression of the public will is impos-
sibe.
An inquiry by the local grand jury into some of
the primary returns in this city might do quite as
well to disclose to the public just how Watson and
Robinson did so we'll

BE THANKFUL

The citizens should be thankful that an eectlon
will be held this year.
Not that it gives them a chance to get some dii'
ferent officials for the chances are that those most
interested will be playing golf on election day wne
the boys with the busy pencils in the right precincts
will do theri voting and counting for them
But the taxes will be cut for a year and tnere
will he a. moratorium for twelve months.
Probably by that time there will be more debts
piled up to pay later, but it makes the public feel
good to think that their tax bills are going down
The State got in first with the promise to cut
down the tax levy. Not much, OF course Then wnen
the Times called attention to the possibilities the
and the powers that be agreed that it could
chop off that extra million to which the Times
pointed.
Then along comes the city with promise that'
if things run right, it will cut the tax rate
These things, strange to say, never happen on
off wears The politicians understand the psychology
of the rest of U.S. They know that we can't remem-
Der more than three months at a time. Otherwise
very few of them would be operating at ALL
So lust before the elections they hand us those
cuts in taxes and expect cheer of approval.
True, the cost of government keeps at the
same old figure.
They find ways of getting the money. No one
of the units has shown any savings. Nd one has
claimed that it has cut off any Of the useless extrav-
agances or the jobs that permit their holuers 10
spend all summer on political vacations.
They know that will not inquire too deeply
into that. They rely on the fact that we have al
ways in the past stood up and cheered when they
handed us this line. And so they rely on the same
old bunk.
But be glad. The chances that if there were
no election in November they would pile up bigger
burdens
OF course, with a nasty disposition
might inquire what they have been doing in the past
with the money and that would be embarrassing But
then there are few with nasty dispositions inqur-
ing minds. (

here is bit of advice-'Do your Christmas shopping
early"
Perhaps it seems untmely Look at your calen-
dar. Count the days. You'll find there are about
100 more shopping days before Christmas. How
is that for startling piece of information?
OF course, it isn't really quite time to do your
Christmas shopping. But it's time to start planning
for your Christmas shopping. That's what usually
makes you late-you start planning when you should
start shopping And then, when you are ready to
shop you should be through.
1t isn't too early to start the homemade
things. Perhaps you'll have to send to New York
to get some monogram patterns for handkerchiefs
Then, there's all the cross-stitching to be done.

Q
Not Vicious

Those foolish lads, who threw
away their lives for a ten-day spree
of gun play, in Colorado, were prob
ably not so vicious. They just
didn't realize what they were doing;
just went out and held up people as
other boys play bandit in the back
yard, or used to.
We have emphasized unimportant
offenses until the important ones are
we'll nigh forgotten, especially by
youth.
Our arguing, preaching, legisla-
ting and modifying to punish this
or that minor breach has achieved
nothing so distinctly as to obliterate
the idea of the awfulnes of real
crime.
Our young people are growing up
with n false perspective-a perspec-
tive which puts a wrong left turn in
about the same class as larceny.
That is the biggest reason why so
many of them go wrong.
