On a High Plane

The used car business, natural out
growth of the new car business, has
developed into tremendously large
and dignified industry which exercises
very definite influence upon the
automotive prosperity
It's present magnitude is revealed
by sales statistics showing more than
three used cars sold for every four,

market vitalizes the new car market
and extends it's influence directly on

obtainable through large production

WINSET'T TALKS
PERILOUS time
OF THE PRESENT

Continuing the theme of the second
coming of Christ Evangelist Winsett
spoke last night on some of the things
that are coming to pass now, as
were written by the Apostle Paul
in the second chapter of Timothy,
which saws: know that in the last
days perilous times shall come"
We are living in that peculiar gen.
Grafton when we are likely to be
DECEIVED. Paul wrote these words as
his diving statement. We arc always
ready to accept the dying statement
of a good man, and believe them.
Tradition tells us that Paul was cru
Gifted head downward.
The evangelist depicted present
world conditions and unrest as the
modernist would have us believe, but
quoting from men like Lloyd George
and Theodore Roosevelt he showed
that the world is on the down grade
and that disaster is soon to oyertake
us, one great statesman saying we
are headed for Armageddon. The
yellow races are tired of the white
mans rule the tide of color is rising.
We need to understand the time in
which we live, and we need to get
our feet on solid ground and know
the perilS that face us.
Many scriptures were read showing
the downward trend Of world civili-
zation at the end time, and the
ultimate failure of world rule by the
governments of earth. Then scrip
lures were given of the glorious OUT
come when Jesus would come and
take charge and bring the world out
of chaos.
Evil men will wax worse and worse,
deceiving and being deceived. The
time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine, but will heap
to themselves teachers having itching
ears. Our disposition is to sit by
cornplacently and say all is well, but
sudden destruction is soon to befall
us. It's the truth we need. The cry
must 60 forth that the Kingdom OF
Christ is near upon us. We are in
the day when men are ever learning
and are never aEle to come to a
knowledge of the truth.
Tonight Evangelist Winsett will
speak on "What Will Jesus Do When
He Comes" Monday night his SUBJ
iect will De "The Outstanding Signs
Of the Times" A copy of Mother
Shiptons prophecy will be given to
everyone present This prophecy was
written more than 500 years ago and
in detail describes the things that
have come to pass along with auto
mobiles, bobbed hair and many other
outstanding fulfillments of prophecy.

PACIFIC ORGAN
NOTES HUBBELL
0 N INSURANCE

The following story was published
in the Underwriters Report tor
October 81. The Underwriters Re
port published at San Francisco IS
the official insurance organ for the
west. ~
Arizona local agents are interested
in tie attempt now being made to
organize a new automobile club in
that state inasmucn as the promoters
are combining an insurance scheme
in their plan and appealing to cham
bers of commerce throughout the
state to cooperate in the promotion.
The proposal to the chambers o.
commerce is that the latter take
paid memberships in the club, and
assist in enrolling members at n
stated initiation fee and monthly dues
of ST. thereafter The insurance
"bait" that is offered Il is insurance
"at COST"
Objections to this feature OF the
scheme we're made by Fred D. Hub
bell local agent at Douglas, Ariz.,
and director of the local chamber
of commerce at a recent meeting of
the latter. Mr.. Hubbell say that the
proposition had been sold to a num-
ber of the chambers of commerce
which are actively engaged in assist
ing this new club to obtain members
and this argument was used by
agents of the club to bring the
Douglas chamber into line. Once the;
proposition had been brought before
the directors in argument by Agent
Hubbell, all saw the unfairness to the
local insurance representatives, and
the Douglas chamber of commerce
declined, to take membership or to
sponsor the efforts of the club as
long as the cut-rate insurance feature
was part and important part Of
the selling argument.
'Why auto clubs pick out the
insurance feature and do not Gfier
cut-rate tires, batteries, tops and even
automobiles at cost is hard to under
stand" say Hubbell "and further why
the local agents in the many local
ganized allow them to get away with
propositions wherein business is taken.
out of their offices without even the
slightest protest is also hard to
understand.
1.-The statement is made by these
organizers that very little business
is lost to the local agent, but that
is not the point and is not the truth
All this aside, and the principe is
bad and would be frowned upon by
another merchant or business man,
were the one whose business. was be-
ing used as bait III obtaining members
in these organizations.
1.-THE chambers of commerce en-
dorsing these propositions are not
looking to the interest of their mem-
bership when they sponsor such ef-,
forts, and fthea local agent is noS2
looking ater his interest when he
permits club organizers to come into
his community and put over their
propositions without even semblance

FIRE PLUGS ARE.
MISSED WHEN N
FLAMES BREAK

Firemen, trucks and hose, but no
water, explains the failure of the
Douglas fire department to extinguish
a fire in the business section of Aqua
Prieta Monday morning that destroyed
two business establishments and caus-
ed loss of $4,000 in buildings and
merchandise. When the fire was re-
ported the Douglas fire trucks made
courtesy run across the line, but be-
cause the City of Aqua Prieta had
failed to pay for three fire plugs pro-
vided in the past, the firemen found
themselves unable to combat the
flames.
Fire Chief William J. Nemeck stated
while Juarez and Nogales, Sonora, be-
fore they were equipped with modern
fire fighting equipment, always paid
the cities of El Paso, Texas, and No
gales, Arizona, for fire protection
Aqua Prieta had never done so, Aqua
Prieta formerly had three modern fire
plugs in the city, but these were re-
moved by the Douglas water company
when the Mexican clay failed to pay
rental on them. Before the Douglas
fire trucks could cross the line Monday
morning, it was necessary to receive
permission from the mayor of Douglas
to do so, but this permission was
granted as matter of courtesy.
The fire broke out in the carpenter
shop of Antonio Iturralde at 81 Fourth
avenue and destroyed this building as
we'll as the soft drink parlor of Ramon
Lenaris at S5 Fourth. avenue. Valiant
efforts on the part of Chief of Police
E Laborin and volunteers before the
Douglas fire trucks arrived prevented
the flames from destroying the adj
joining residence of Sonora Dolores
Aleconda.-
Some fixtures and stock of the soft
drink parlor were saved, as was all
the furniture of Mrs Aleconda, but
everything in the carpenter shop was
destroyed. The fire was caused by
Iturralde leaving a fire burning in
his shop when he left it.
