Time Plan Thanked
for Autos Success

New York;, March 22.-The sys-
tenn Of buying cars ION TIME" is
the main reason why the automobile
industry has prospered and is now
the leading industry in the coun-
try, according to j. ]. Raskob, chair
man Of the finance committee Of
the General Motors Corporation.
I'VE in the industry estimate that
two-thirds of all automobiles pro-
duced are sold on credit through in
stallment payments" says Raskob.
IF this credit were not available
We would have no motor industry
as we know it today. Today is the
greatest industry in the world and
can be credited almost wholly with
the prosperity our country and its
people are enjoying.
Ten years ago few could foresee
the possibility Of Is million auto.
mobiles being in use in this coun-
try. And without the sound de-
velopment of instaument selling it
would have been impossible.
IF every motor car buyer had
been obliged to accumulate enough
cash to pay the entire purchase
price before beginning to enjoy the
use of his car, ] doubt If there
would now be even five million cars
in use in this country. And Ger.
tainly no such stimulation Of the
country's prosperity Is has resulted
from the growth Of the automobile
industry could have been possible"

Prospective Acreage
Report For This Year

The all spring wheat acreage Of
North Dakota for 1928 will be re-
duced $4,000 acreas, Il farmers
carry out intentions ~ expressed in
= recent survey by tho division Of
crop and livestock estimates. Dur
UNI wheat will be increased Il per
cent, while other spring wheat will
be reduced IS per cent. Intended
acreaees Of corn, barley, flax, and
potatoes Ill show Increases, while
oats and tame hay acreeges will BE-
slightly reduced. Whether or not
these intentions will actually be
carried out depends on spring
weather conditions, price changes,
labor supply and the effect Of this
report Itself on the plans OF the
growers. II unusual abandonment Of
the winter rye acreage occurs, this,
too. will cause some modification Of
present plans. A survey Of the
acreage actually planted to differ.
emit crops will Be made IN June, and
the changes in acreage shown at
that time may not be the same ~
those shown by this report. The
purpose Of the intentions report is
to furnish information which will
enable farmers to make such further
adjustments in their plans for 1928
paintings - may seem desirable.
A 81 per cent increase in total
acreage Of the seven principal crops
listed in this report is indicated.
This is an increase Of 37l 900 acres.

Total spring wheat acreage may be
reduced from 0,846, 900 to 0y6ll 900
acres. For the first time since 1924
the flax acreage will probably show

dicating 100000 acres compared
with $4,000 in 1927. With the
exception Of 1926, the smallest oats
acreage in the history Of the state
will be grown in 1923 If present
plans are carried through. The 2
per cent decrease indicates 2,O82, 900

potato acreage is in sight II present
plans are fulfilled. A 16 per cent
increase indicates $4,000 acres %

International Route Planned to
Reach Every Country in
Western Hemisphere by
Next Decade
BY NEA Service

BY NEA Service
Washington, March 22.-perhaps
IN a decade or so, Americans will
motor down into South America as
thi = do from coast to coast today.
Perhaps by 1888, We shall see au-
tcnobiles with license plates from
C.ni'e, or Argentina, or Brazil, just
as we notice them today from any
of tie 48 states. in the union.
FIR by then the greatest highway
sys. n in the world will have been
completed, if the dreams and plans
Of Pan-American enthusiasts come
trrc. This would be the Pan-Ameri-
e highway, stretching from the
4. ladian border down through the
United States, Central America, into
ey " one of the South American
&C ntries and as far as the south
erimOst tip Of that continent.
The route would cover a total
q stance Of almost 10000 miles along
e west coast Of South America, ex-
.uding its various branches extend
ing into the countries to the east.
Official recognition of this dream
has already been made in several
ways. President Coolidge heartily
approves the idea and adds that
such an international highway would
be highly effective in bringing the
entire western world into more har-
monious relationship.
Bill Up for Road
Representative Mcleod of De-
troit has introduced a bill in Con-
gress calling for the creation of q
"Pan-American Peoples Great High
way Commission" with an original
fund Of 100000 for arrangement Of
such an enterprise.
The same subject was discussed
at the recent convention of the
American Road builders Association
in Cleveland. In fact, Antonio
Madrazo, head of the Mexican dele
cation, reported that the first link
in this great highway system, SO
far as his country was concerned,
would be ready by 1929. This would
reach from Laredo, Tex, to Mexico
City and farther on to Guatemala.
The Pan-American Union is
highly interested in this project and
has taken it up at several Of its
conferences. As q result, it organ
lied the Pan-American Federation
for Highway Education, which is
pushing the plan still further.
According to present plans, the
Pan-American highway would ex-
tend from the Canadian border to
Laredo, Tex, and thence through
the Central American stat S to Pam
anna. From Panama, the road would
follow the Pacific coast I. South
America as far. as Puerto Mont,
Chile. Then it would cut across to
the border of Argentina, down to
Puerto Deseado on the Atlantic
coast and farther on almost to the
very tip Of the continent.
Must Gap 2175 Miles
From Laredo to Puerto Mont,
the Bureau of Public Roads esti-
mates, is q total of 1867 miles. Gaps
in this extension, totaling 2175
miles, have to be completed with

 Substantial necessities fill most Of the windows and most of the shelves. Chess boards for grown ups and toys for children are about the limit in the display of unes- sentials.
 Little effort is made to display goods attractively. The govern ment isn't trying to break down anybody's sales resistance. The big problem is for the consumer to push through the crowd and buy what he wants. Glass show eases have disappeared.
