One thing the people of the United States have done thoroughly and well, better than a ay other country, better than al! the courtries put together, and that, thing is automobile production. The civilisation of a country Is Judged by the average comfort. And on that basis this is the world’s civilised country. Tears ago. when there were a few hundred automobiles only in all the United States, this writer predicted tbi.t a nation buying two million buggies a year, to be dragged over the muddy roads by slowly moving horses, would eventually provide roods worthy

of the automobiles.

That prediction has come true already. The genius and good Judgment of American manufacturers have produced cars by the millions, and most wisely and *~~ tunalely for the country the »tani effort has been to lower tbe price and Increase the quality. Only such quantity prou'ictlon as this nation has achieved would make possible the reasonable prices of automobiles today. Thl« la a country of high wages and high prices. Yet. because the people buy on a big scale, and the manufacturers compete earnestly In low cost production, you can buy for your dollar In the United States twice as much real automobile value as you can buy for tha, dollar In any other country in the world. The other countries admit It, do not attempt oompete with this country. There have been financiers and others so shortsighted as to suggest that the United States spends too much money on automobiles And some tbs. do not understand conditions or true values speak of the automobile as a "pleasure

When you have an automobile you conquer distance and time is

your slave.

Wings for a bird are not extravagant. An automobile for a man who can get It Is not extrava-

want either.

This la a country or wheels. The United States owns, and keeps running, more automobiles than all the rest of the world put togetner. There are several States In the union that have ene automobiles to carry at one i the entire population of the St This Is the world’s greatest a He country. It will keep s. So. get a car!

Kvery dollar spent for automobiles has beer veil spent and has set two dollars

Is no such thing as a e automobile." You might of “pleafaure fresh air." or of a ’’pleasure beefsteak.’ The automobile saves time, the mart valuable thing tbsl men •ess. the most precious, the most important. The automobile, truck, tractor and gas engine have doubled the Ilfs of the farmers by enabling them to accomplish twice as much in a given time. When tb se who read this were boys a trip to town meant that the farmer must lore a whole day. He must plow along througn the deep ruts, taking the hori from work on the farm. Now a "trip to town ’ with time «ncogh to do tbe '•.eceasary buying. means half an bout, at a «oavenlent time of day. and with Ahr use, perhaps, of ten cents worth of gasoline for a round trip. Nobody can estimate the value •Of the time and money that automobiles have saved for the farm-

And what la true of larment Is true o.’ other clauses. Ask the doctors. especially those that live In ■panair settled regions. Thsnks to the automobile, their value has best! multiplied by tour and five, their possibility of doing good work, and also their own earning power. Ask those that understand the labor problem. The shortage of labor, of building mechanics especially. has been Isrgely overcome in rural regions by the fact that tbs carpenter or mason now thinks nothing of going ten miles to • Job. Tbe automobile has saved every yeer. Ir. actual working time, for this country, more than all tbe automobiles of tbe nation cost. That should be remembered by tuuwe that talk nonsense about "nations! automobile extiava-

a*i-important subject of bousing, when there is a different story to tell, and tbe situation taaes on a different phase. Yesteryear, a heated house was an unheard of commodity, except of course, tboee few which provided stores. Today there are numerous fine cottages and apartments which show heating plants, and are more easily accessible for leasing In the fall on thly paying basis. It is differ the applicant to gain lion of such an all-year property, however. In the spring. Owners require, in most Instances, all of the summer rent in advance, which prohibits the working man a lease at those
