We are now showing our several makes of cars in
the building formerly used by J. N. Hill for furniture. We
are showing the new Nash Six, Oakland Six and the Chev-
rolet. The Nash Six is proving to be our popular seller
in Bosque County. We have sold quite a number already
this season, and those who have bought are delighted with
the Nash. We want you to call and see our cars. If you
do not want to buy a new one we have some second-hand
cars at bargain prices.

(Dallas Newa>
“Build now, manufacture now, buy
now, that is the chief word of advice
I would have for Dallas and the
Southwest, and it is just as applicable
throughout the Nation.”
This Was the keynote of a mesage
which Vice-President Thomas Riley
Marshall told a reporter of the News
yesterday afternoon that he wished
to deliver to the Southwest.
“Manufacturers are limiting thier
output as far as possible, feeling that
cheaper raw materials will come in
time,” Mr. Marshall said. “Wholesal-
ers are skimming their purchases for'
the same reason; retailers are buying
from hand to mouth, and ‘John Jones’
the ultimate consumer, is washing
and rewashing his shirt until it hangs
in rags. All are waiting for cheaper
materials, cheaper labor, cheaper pro-
ducts. The same applies to building
materials.
“Mark this: We’re never going
back to Aug. 1, 1914. The only way
for sensible men to meet these days
of unrest is to do what prudence, jus-
tice and good sense say, not what they,
themselves, want to do.
“There is going to be a larger di-
vision of prifits with labor in the fu-
ture. Sensible men are coming to see
it. They are beginning to realize that
the bottom is not going to drop out
of raw materials and labor prices.
Best Way to Show Patriotism
"People who want the country to
prosper will go ahead with all indus-
try, regardless of prices. In my opin-
ion this is the finest way to show pa-
triotism.
“It is true that many people laugh-
ed at President Wilson’s statement
that hard times are more or less psy-
chological, but no more veracious and
sensible phrase was ever uttered. In
my little way 1 have been urging bus-
iness to carry on, firmly believing that
matters will adjust themselves cor-
rectly in time.
“Ten years ago 1 made the state-
ment that better and more general
education of the public would mean
that the masses would insist on a
fairer distribution of wealth. 1 say
this now, although no one was ever a
firmer believer in the individualistic
doctrines of Thomas Jefferson. (lie
situation is this: It is not what 1
want, but what J,.know is coming. It
does no good for a person to get in
front of a Texas steer and yell for it
to stop. And yet that is essentially
what wealthy men are doing when
they hold back industry, feeling that
the bottom will in time drop out of
the prices of labor and materials.”
Mr. Marshall said that he and Mrs.
Marshall, who always travels with
him, were quite interested <n the glim-
pse of fifteen minutes that they got
of Ranger while coming over the Tex-
as & Pacific Railroad from Phoenix,
Arizona.
“It reminded me very much of the
boom brought by steel to the little
village of Gary, in my State,” he said.
“Oil is proving a wonderful developer
for Texas. We hear much of it in
the North.”
This is the first time Mr. Marshall
has ever stopped off in Dallas, al-
though he has made a number of trips
through Texas.
'It looks like a great town,” he re-
marked. “Now that I see you have
the spirit of push here I can see why
you wrested the Federal Reserve Bank
from other contestants for its loca-
tion. But I won’t brag on your town.
When 1 was running for Governor of
Indiana 1 would tell enthusiast of
various cities that 1 did not want to
be quoted. For it would injure my
popularity in rival cities. Besides,
modesty itself bespeaks the merits of
city."
Keen Sense ol Humor
The former Governor of Indiana and I
Vice President of the United States
since the election in 1912 has a keen
sense of humor. He has a store of
homely expressions which he qses to
answer questions which he does not
wish to discuss.
‘What do I think of the progress
of the peace conference and the Lea-
gue of Nations? Well, my father used
to tell me, ‘Don’t keep a dog and do
your own barking.’ President Wlison
is barking for me and the rest of the
United States. And his voice is plain-
ly audible. Of course, if the results
do not suit me, upon the final adjust-
ment and his return, 1, like all other
Americans, can growl a little. All
1 would say is, if your readers will
pardon the slang, that 1 think we
have 'some dog.’ ’’
After this trip on a government-
controlied road and his meals on a
government-controlled diner, Mr. Mar-
shall was asked for an expression of j
opinion.
‘1 don’t care to go into these mat-1
ters,” he said. Everyone knows that j
I am strongly oposed to Government
ownership and control of various pub-
lic utilities."
Only Hobby is Baseball
Vice President Marshall was asked
whether the information in “Who’s

JOHN E. SWENSON
Who” that he was born in Indiana in President R. B. Binnon of the East
1854 was not a typographical error J Texas State Normal, arrived in Dal-
for he would easily pass for 50. las' In lom'mny w,th this t,t:leKation
"No, that is right,” he admitted.
“Before I got into politics 1 was a
lawyer Hnd always have lived a sed-
entary life. If there is an elevator
running, 1 never walk, and the same
goes with taxis or street cars. Presi-
dent Wilson can take his golf, but 1
am afraid of *it. 1 have known of sev-
eral men who started golf after 60,
who dropped dead on the links. 1 take
no exercise and I have no hobbies,
unless it is baseball. There is one
who enjoys rooting for the Washing-
ton team more than 1 do.”
When the Vice President was enum-
erating the reasons why he feels and
looks so young, such as no alcoholic |
drinks, very moderate eating, no
gambling or similar excitement, etc.,'
his remarks sounded like a temper-1
ance tract that would be published by j
the most radical “anti" society. I
“Tom is worried all the time about |
the proposed anti-tobacco crusade,’ :
Mrs. Marshall put in.
“Yes, I do smoke, but as Mark j
Twain said, ‘only one cigar at a j
time,’" he explained. It was quite |
evident from Mr. Marshall’s remarks |
that an anti-tobacco crusade, would J
not be welcome in .jus Washington
office. - _ j
While Mr. Marshall’s looks are I
quite deceptive, it is still harder to be-
lieve that there is not a great dis- j
parity between the age of himself j
and that of his youthful-appearing
wife.
Mr. Marshall is the twenty-eighth
Vice President of the United States.
He is a Presbyterian, like the Pres-
ident; a thirty-third degree Mason of
the Northern jurisdiction, and his
home is in Columbia City, ind. He
is a small man—physically—has a
’genial mouth and twinkling eyes, arid
is as democratic as a postoffice.
Three addresses on a lyceunr course j
are to be delivered by Mr. Marshall
while in Texas. Last night a dele-
gation from Commerce, headid by
Mr. and Mrs. Marshall will leave for
Commerce at 9:45 o’clock this morn-
ing where he will speak today at the
State Normal. Tomorrow night Mr.
Marshall will speak at Waeo, and the
last lyceum course lecture will be de-
livered at Palestine Thursday. From
Palestine Mr. and Mrs. Marshall will
return direct to Washington.
The party was met at the train by
John W. Pope, M. C. Turner, Judge
W. F. Ramsey, Mayor Frank W. Woz-
encraft, Adams Calhoun and various
other city officials and officials of the
speakers' division of the Victory loan
campaign. During the afternooon a
number of people extended their re-
gards to the distinguished visitors.
1 Mr. Marshall spoke in favor of the
Victory loan last night at the City
Hall.
