SALES
OF BUICK CARS
BREAK RECORD


Buick sales since the introduction
OF new models in July have shat
tered all records in Buick history,
according to George E. Jackson, local
dealer, The July, August and Septem-
her total this year is 1886 cars, las
compared with 70941 cars sold during
The corresponding period in 1926.
''The average monthly increase
during the last three months, over
the corresponding period in 1926,
amounts to more than 1000 cars
said jackson. This represents an
average increase of 1000 cars "a week.
or considerably better than 100 a day.
when it is recalled that these
are retail sales figures, and not mere
production totals, such record seems
70 us highly significant 1t means
that the instantaneous public recep-
ton Of the new Bucks was not just
flash in the pan, but rather the
forerunner of a sustained demand for
Bucks, all over the country, based
on the recognition that here was
such style, comfort and performance
as best met the publics conception
of value in a motor car"

BERLIN lP-Farm houses, stables

victims of flames near Illkofen, Ba-

two rival towns pointed the water

In response to the alarm the fire
brigades of Regensburg and of Illko-

There was solemn parleying at first,
the crew of each brigade claiming
that it had the solel right to quench
the fire. - SIZES
AS arguments proved ineffective, the
Illkofe1iers reinforced their point of
view by turning on the hose against
the Regensburgers. These replied in

Car Drivers Do MOI
Have to Re-Registel

Considerable confusion and misun-
derstanding have arisen from a recent
statement in the press to the effect
that the new motor vehicle code pro-
vides that all operators and chauf-
feus must re-register. This is not the
case, since the law provides that OPP
orators licenses already issued shall
be valid until suspended or revoked.
Such is the assertion of F. M Whit

JUDGE DEFERS
HIS DECISION
Justice SiddOns Wants Further
Evidence as to Whether Sim
clair Was Subpoenaed

Washington, October 24.-(AP)-
Decision as to admission at their
criminal conspiracy trial of the tes.
timony given before the senate oil
committee by Harry F. Sinclair and
Albert B. Fall was deferred today
by Justice Siddons in the District oi
Columbia supreme court.
The justice said he wanted further
evidence as to whether Sinclair was
Subpoenaed before that committee
before he passed upon SO important
q point in the present case.
Neither side had made it clear by
the evidence, Justice Siddons said
whether Sinclair had appeared VOL
UNFAIRLY, been invited or actually,
legally summoned.
The immediate point on which
Justice Siddons had been asked to
rule was on the admission of Sim
clair's statement of December "a,
1923. to the senate committee that he
went to Three Rivers, N. NJ, in De-
cember, 1921, to- see Fall about leas-
ing the navy's Teapot Dome oil re-
serve, which led to the presen. trial
Of the oil man and the former sec
retary Of the interior.
After this trial for contempt Of
the senate, Sinclair contended
through counsel that he never had
been legally summoned before the
committee and consequently never
was a legal witness within the
meaning OF the contempt statute.

Dnevcr, Oct. 24.-(H)-Assurcd of
support Of more miners in the

of the World today issued orders
at the organization headquarters in

sive campaign to make the Colorado

As the strikers faced their Sec

their demand for higher wages and
shorter hours, operators continued
without sufficient special officers to
curb picketing, led successfully by
women over the weekend.
A conference between Huerfano
county commissioners, where the
walkout was most effective, and
Governor w. H. Adams, which ended
in a decision that the county would
attempt to control the situation
without state aid, brought fore
cast from Roger Frahcezon, head

FARM RELIEF IS
Big PROBLEM IN
INDIAN EMPIRE
Three-fOurths of Population
Dependent on Agriculture
For Livelihood

Bombay, India, Oct. 24.-(Hp---
Farm relief is as lively an issue in
the vast Indian empire as it is in the
United States. The royal coyamis-
sion on agriculture in India has ar
rived here from London and faces
problems stranger than those that
confront the champions Of the
American farmer.
Three-fourths of the $4,000, 900
persons in India are dependent on
farming for their livelihood. 1t is
intimated that two-thirds of the
farmers are in debt and two-thirds
of the land of India is mortgaged.
Nine out Of 10 farmers are illit-
crate. They rarely own more than
five to 10 acres and are the con-
slant prey of the village money lend
ers, who extort from IL to so per
cent interest.
Other agricultural ills of India are
due to the ancient belief in reincar-
nation which prevents the killing Of
cattle. The breeds constantly de-
cline and the country Is overrun
with aged oxen unfit for work and
lean shrunken milk cows. The ma
tives even object to killing the semi
wild cattle which nightly ravage the
crops.
Wild pigs, jackals, tigers, and
other beasts of the Jungle also raid
the farms while a great number of
natives die annually, the victims of
venomous reptiles. Previous inves.
LEGATIONS of the committee have
brought all this out.
Another problem is due to the
practice of the farmers of dividing
their farms equally among their
sons. Thus the farms, divided again
and again, become mere strips Of
land so small that they have to be
abandoned because they are unprof-
liable to cultivate.
In view of the increasing import
ance Of India as a factor in the
world supply Of food and clothing,
all these problems are to be re-
viewed by the commission.
The evidence already taken fills
IA books and includes $4,000 ques-
tions and answers. The commission,
after visiting Karachi, Calcutta and
Rangoon, will settle down about the
middle Of December to deliberate
on its findings and decide what is
to be done about the future Of In
dian agriculture.

Minneapolis, Oct. 24.-%R-The
public's interests will be stressed
both by proponents and opponents
OF the proposed unification Of the
Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific railroads, at the interstate
commerce commission hearings on
the subject, opening here today.
Some of the leading railroad at
torneys of the country as well as
counsel for several northwest states
and municipalities came here to
participate in the hearings, expected
to last several weeks.
NOrtherns Would Consolidate
Tho Great Northern and the Nor
thern Pacific roads have made ap-
plication to the interstate commerce
commission for authority to con-
solidate their properties as . new
corporation to be known as the Great
Northern Pacific railroad.
The proposed new corporation
seeks permission to take = lease on
the properties Of the Northern Pa
cific, the Great Northern and the
Spokane, Portland and Seattle rail-
ways. and to acquire stock control
OF the two northern roads in order
to operate them under q single man.
agement. The Spokane, Portland
and Seattle railway is jointly owned
by the two northerns.
Worlds Largest System
The plan also calls for retention
by the merged corporation of control
Of the Burlington railroad, which
for 25 years has been held jointly
by the two northerns. II the merger
is effected, the new road will be the
greatest railway system in the.
world, with nearly 10000 miles Of
tracks, prinipally between Chicago
and the Twin Cities and the Pacific
northwest.
Counsel for the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific first will pre-
sent testimony and exhibits in sup
port of their application. One Of
their contentious is that the unfit
cation will save the northwest $780,
100000 in the form of operation and
construction economies.
Opponents of the merger will fol-
low with their arguments.
{. NJ. & st. p. Objects
They include several competitive
railroads, and many northwest com.
munities. Chief among the protest.
ing railroads is the Chicago. Milwau-
kec and st. Paul road, which con-
tends that the merger would.
through inevitable economies in
operation. seriously impair the serv-
ice of the Milwaukee line, thus
eliminating competition and estab-
fishing transportation monopoly
through the northwest.
Railroad commissions Of several
states, including North Dakota.
Iowa, South Dakota and Wisconsin,
have filed petitions for the right Of
intervention in the hearings.
