BY E. T. STRONG

President Buick Motor Company
Although the industrial horizon
at this moment is somewhat OBJ
scure, there is more than a little
evidence that indicates a promis-
ing outlook for the new year.
Certainly the automotive indus
try has a better perspective of
its surroundings and the road
ahead than it had at this time
last year.
While it is beyond the ability
of any individual to accurately
forecast the future, especially
in the field of modern competi-
tive business, yet we know from
past experience that certain
signs mean certain definite turns
in. the road ahead. And as
the year develops we will find,
I believe, more and more of these
signs indicating an upturn.
The automobile has become a
fundamental necessity in this
country. 1t ranks with food,
shelter and clothing. When it
is expended it must be replaced,
just as we replace an outworn
suit of clothes, with a new one.

ing hard times" said w. A. Blees,
vice president, in charge of sales
for the Oakland Motor Car Com.
pany.
Frankly, I've lost all patience
with the calamity howlers. We've
become soft. Things have been
too easy and when they got a
little tough we lost our nerve. We
cry hard times when on all sides
of us live 122,000,0O0 people who
are eating and sleeping and living
in houses and wearing clothing
and driving cars just as they did
in the past and will in the future.
These consumers represent the
biggest and richest market of al.
time.
"These 122,OOO,OOO people
spend nearly one hundred bill
lions of dollars annually. Think
of it! Nearly two billions per
week. There's market that
ought to mean business for
somebody market three or
four times as rich as that
which provided prosperity at
the turn of the century. And
we sit and whimper about it.

AUTOS ARE SENT
VIA CANAL

Two hundred twenty-one Chrys-
Ter Motors-built automobiles were
shipped to the Pacific Coast via
the Panama Canal during the past
week, it was announced by j. E.
Fields, vice president in charge of
sales of Chrysler Corporation.
A trainload of motor cars from
Detroit to New York, they made a
boatload when swung aboard the
S. S. Virginia which cleared it's
North River pier at the Port of
New York for Los Angeles and
San Francisco by way of the
Canal.
Following closely as it does
upon the heels of the New York
Auto Show, which was prOduc-
tive Of usual sales for
ChrysIer Motors divisions, q
large shipment like this one to
the. West Coast is significant"
said Mr.. Fields. "The low stocks
of cars in the hands of dealers
and the popular chord struck
by new models we recently in
trOduced have resulted in a
briskness of business, and are
largely responsible for this
large order for cars. 1t is a re-
Election Of their confidence and
enthusiasm in the new models"

ShOW Boosts Sales
Of StUtz COnlpdnU

What is aptly described as "the
miracle of the New York Automo-
bile Show" is one of the factors
contributing to the great impetus
given to Stutz. "As we look back
on that crucial week in New York, ,"
said Colonel GorreIl, Stutz presi-
dent, I'VE are Convinced that this
years show marked a definite
turning point for Stutz and for the
industry as whole.
Actual sales of Stutz cars at
retail during show week in New
York were beyond our highest ex-
pectations. We took orders for IS
automobiles representing value
of approximately $275,O00. This
is substantial evidence that people
in the higher income brackets still
have the money to pay for what
they really want" 9

BY OVERLAND

For many years past the Wills
Overland Company has maintain
ed it's reputation for being the
first to introduce numerous en-
gineering and Constitutional fea-
lures in it's products, especially
in it's low priced models. Such a
conspicuous position has the
Toledo manufacturer held in this
respect that the public naturally
looks to that organization for
outstanding Arrangements.
That Wills-Overland is entitled
more than ever to this reputation
for pioneering important advan-
tages in the low priced field is
apparent in the announcement
that all of it's 1881 cars, from

Outlook for NetO Year Is
Promising, Says Strong

This replacement market is of
constantly increasing Importance
to the automobile business-in
fact, it is the major factor in au-
tomobile merchandising.
For the last IS months the
motoring public has been wear
ing out automobiles faster than
it has been replacing them. There
are hundreds of thousands of
cars on the highways today that
have outworn their usefulness,
that are no longer economical
to operate and constitute pos
sible menace to other vehicles.
That can have but one re-
sult-with the improvement in
general business conditions, the
automotive industry will prob
ably face tremendous demand
for new cars.

BUICK STRAIGHT.
FIGHTS WILL
STAND
No New Models Planned in
Summer, Says Head of
Firm, in New Statement

The present line of 1881 Buick
straight eights now on exhibition
at the auto show will not be re-
placed by new models this sum-
mer, according to announcement
made today by E. T. Strong,
president of the Buick Motor
Company.
Successful Types
Mr.. Strong said today for many
years it had been the custom of
the Buick Motor Company to
make announcements in connec-
tion with new models on August
l of every year. However, the
1881 Buick line of straight eight5
equipped with synchro-mesh trans
mission has met with such spon-
taneous approval of the motoring
public that we have decided to
continue the present line beyond
our usual announcement date.
Stand for a Year
In planning the 1881 series of
Buick straight eights, said Mr..
Strong, we had very definitely
In mind this plan which appears
to meet with favor on the part
of our dealers and the public and
would appear to be favorably con-
sidered by all manufacturers as
evidenced by the strong sugges-
ton advanced by the National
Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, of which the Buick Motor
Company is a member, for uni
formity of announcement. The
National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce plan is that all its
members announce their cars
during the last months of each
calendar year.

Lincoln Featured
Bu Free Wheeling

One of the outstanding me-
chanical features of the new Lin
coin, now being shown at automo-
bile shows is its free-wheeling
transmission.
With the Lincoln free-wheeling
transmission, many miles may be
covered with the engine idling in
the course of a days driving.
This reduces gasoline and oil con-
sumption and helps prolong the
life of the car.

PAY TAXES NOW
AT DISCOUNT
County Auditor, Andrew p. Edin Sub
mitS Synopsis of Law Governing
Delinquent Tax Payments.

Andrew P. Edin, county auditor of
Pine county, this week sent out the
following letter explaining the law
governing the payment of delinquent
taxes:
81 wish to call your attention to
the provisions of Chapter 129, Session
Laws of 1881, in regard to payment of
delinquent taxes.
IF taxes are delinquent for 1925 or
1927, the law provides that the taxes
can be paid in full by the payment of
only 3-5 of the original tax and the
Same fractional part of the taxes would
also apply to the 192S-29 taxes and
the current or 1880 tax.
Where the 1928 or 1929 taxes are
delinquent they can be paid without
penalty and interest including the cur
rent or 1880 tax.
This part of the said Chapter 129
becomes effective July 1st and con-
tinues in effect up to and including
December 31st this year.
THE so-called Absolute Sale COM
mences August 10th and is continued
from day to day to and including De-
cember 31st, 1881, and it gives very
advantageous opportunities to clean
up all old taxes or to acquire a cheap
piece of land.
1.-THE minimum prices for which
lands can be sold at this sale are:
IF delinquent for 1920 or previous
years: 1-5 of the original tax, up to
and including the year 1929.
IF delinquent for 1921 or 1922: Is
of the original tax, up to and includ-
ing the year 1929.
And if delinquent for 1923-24-25:
y of the original tax, up to and in
Guiding the year 1929"
These are the main features of this
law and further information will be
given to anyone interested at any
time if they will get in touch with
County Auditor Edin.
A list of delinquent taxes in the
rural district tributary to Askov can
be found at the First State Bank and
likewise the lists will be placed over
the county.

maker at Denham, but now operator
of the Storden creamery in Cotton

silver loving cup for having the Sec
ond highest score in the Land OLakes

Mr.. Hensch's score was $3.50 per cent
or just four-tenths of a per cent from
being perfect. The winning score was
$3.50. Twenty-six buttermakers COM
peted in the contest.
Although this is the first time that
Mr.. Hensch has been awarded cup
it is not the first time that he has
been one of the high men and his con-

Washington, June 24-It is now evil
dent that President Hoover's summer
in Washington and his camp along
the Rapidan will be anything but dull.
His recent trip to the Middle West,
when he unloaded a number of
speeches, has brought him assur-
ances that the targets he set up will
draw fire. His statements are taken
as unmistakable signs of his candi-
dacy for reelection. This condition
inspires counter-blasts from his enc
mics in the Republican camp and
from the opposition party. Mr.. Hoov-
er's admirers feel that he has adopted
the right tactics in conserving his
physical strength and refraining from
long tours this year. They believe
that he will need his full energy to
carry the double load of a President
and candidate next year.
Congressional leaders who are away
from Washington are taking sound
ings from a distance. They are en-
deavoring to detect the direction of
political winds at Washington before
committing themselves to vague
propositions. For instance, the poll
ticfans are particularly chary with
the new Hoover plan" submitted to
the public at Indianapolis last week.
This proposal deals with long-range
planning by government and industry
for the next 20 years with an in
