for a time. Both express satisfac-

system of delivery by which we

the cars. They are driven under
nv own personal supervision by de-
pendable men, never travelling over
35 miles per hour. A car driven at
that speed for about 1000 miles is
far more pleasant for the owner to
drive than a stiff, tight car which
has not been driven at all. Then

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRIES RISE
MOST REMARKABLE IN HISTORY

future of the automobile industry.
progress in the automotive bus
inesS has very decided effect on
the entire business interest of the
country, due to the enormous
amount of products and material
that the automobile builders con-
sumo. Throughout the entire world,
the building of automobiles demands
more and more material. The in
dustry employs in its factories to-
tai of $4,000, in the field among
dealers and service stations, some
million more. The trade uses 80
per cent of the rubber, 38 per cent
of the plate glass. Is per cent of the
steel and iron produced in the Unit
ed States. In addition to being the
largest buyers of gasoline: of mo-
hair upholstery; and of upholstery
! leather, we are among industry IS
leaders in advertising spending mil
lions of dollars annually.
"With the shows, its new models
and the increased expenditures for
advertising the automobile industry
definitely announces to the world
that it is ready to do its share and
lead the country into better times.
1.-The automobile industry is
proud of the part it has played in
the development of business in this
country. and through sheer merit
and value in its product, hopes to
continue to merit the constant sup
port of the public in its desire to
have the best of modern transport
alton at the lowest possible cost. -

BRIDGEVILLE OIL BOOM GIVEN
IMPETUS; $4,000 ACRES LEASED

The Cleveland Petroleum Com
pany, of Cleveland, Ohio, has pur-
chased all equipment and all drill
ing rights for drilling for oil on the
large apple farm of Senator John
G. Townsend, near Bridgeville.
About two months ago oil was
found at the drill on Senator Town
sends apple orchard. Now the
work has been resumed on a much
larger scale. Every indication now
appears that the town of Bridge
vile will experience a boom. 1t
was learned this week that no less
than fourteen oil companies have
been attracted to this section, and
that these companies now have
their representatives leasing land.
At the present time about $4,000
acres of land east of Bridgeville
has been leased and it is reported
that at least forty derricks will be
erected to work in these fields. This
work alone would mean the ex-

STATE FINANCE
SURPLUS SEEN
But ReallOcatiOn of Revenues
Will Be Needed to Cor
rect the Situation
NO NEED TAX INCREASE

Although there was a deficit in
the general fund of the State
Treasury at the end of the last
fiscal year, June 80, and the State
had to negotiate loans totaling ap-
proximately 100000 from the
banks to meet current expenses, it
is anticipated that when State
Auditor J. Henry Hazel completes
his report it will show surplus in
the general fund at this time. This
has been made possible by econ
omies exercised by practically all
State Departments and which en-
abled them to make refunds to the
State Treasury far in excess of
what had ben anticipated. In ad-
dition to this the usual revenues
received at the beginning of every
fiscal year in July are coming into
the treasury and these receipts
have helped bolster up the fund to
such an extent that the deficit ex-
isting in June has been eliminated
and there is now a balance. All of
the 100000 that was borrowed has
not been expended but it will be ex-
hausted by September 1 and by
the middle of that month current
expenses will have used up prac-
tically all of the money that will

ments of recent date, is the open

The discovery of oil in this section
happened about two months ago,
when an oily scum was struck at
the depth of 600 feet, and the sam
pie was reported as indicating fine
quality. The first derrick erected
was on Senator Townsend's apple
farm. The work has been delayed
due to improper tools and unex-
pected rock formation deep under
the surface. Now that all drilling
rights are settled and operation
has been resumed, much interest is
again being manifested. The Cleve-
land Petroleum Company has had
representative in this section a.

SMYRNA FORMS
BASEBALL CLUB
Organization Effected With
Franklin Ennis President
and Bob Boyd, Sec-Treas.
FIRST GAME WITH DOVER

Smyrna is to have a local base
ball organization. At a meeting
of several baseball fans last week
organization was effected with
Franklin Ennis, president, and
Robert L. Boyd, secretary and
treasurer. A board of three man
ayers composed of John c. Hustled,
Jay c. Lassell and Ned Hutchison
were named to get together all
available local players and start
them in training at once to
the end of organizing a fast team
to represent Smyrna. That there
is talent here has been demonstrat-
ed for some time and this Board of
Managers started at once to or
ganize a team and get it in prac-
tice shape for the opening game to
be held with Dover team on the
Smyrna High School Athletic Field,
Frazier Street, on Saturday next,
at 2.30 o'clock. Smyrna business
men and all who favor the national
sport are giving encouragement to
make something doing in Smyr-
ma these summer days to enliven
community interest, bring people
to Smyrna, and create some en-
thusiasm. To this end the man.
agement has issued season tickets
which are being disposed of at the
Office of Hervey P. Hall, the stores
of William Norris, B. F. Ennis, the
johnson Sisters, the Jones and
Swain Pharmacies, Hutchison
Brothers, the Lewis Sisters and
Smyrna's two chain stores-the A
and P. and the American. Every
body is urged to give the club their
loyal support and boost it fol-
Smyrna. It is only thru home eff
fort, home pride and home support
that the management can carry Oh
and if sufficient interest is shown
there is no doubt Smyrna, with its
talent, can have a winning team
It is realized that Smyrna is late
in organizing baseball team thi:
year, but not too late to get {
booster club if the proper support
is shown. There is material il
Smyrna to put such a team across
so let everybody who favors th'
great sport turn out Saturday anc
give the home team a rousing senC
