COMMERCIAL I? 1 Tne Hand W on th riling e Wall The War Industries Board August 9ili, Notified all Automobile Manufacturers to Discontinue Building Passenger Cars on and after January 1st, 1919. The ef fect of this government order should he plain to erery man, woman and child. Automobiles will jump to a premium and bears out our statement of former date in which we said, "A car used three years will be greatly sought after at the price of a new car." We can supply a limited number of Chevrolet cars at the present price $845, F.O B. Salem, and this proposition should appeal to every 'contemplating purchaser. Salem Automobi ie Co. , Federal Trade Commissions ; Report Will Come Before r - vUUHI Coo Washington, Aug. 10, With the federal trade commission prepared to present legislation necessary to place, transportation and distribntion of meat under the railroad administration to smash the "packers' trust," members of congress today were divided on the commission's remedy. The packers' ease will be presented to congress when it reconvenes- Houso members here were inclined to opposo the proposals, declaring the railroad administration has enough to do and that the food administration should move to reduce meat prices be fore anything else is attempted. 'The best (iud quicke ( ftvay to reach the meat packer would be to reg ulptb prices, but the federal trade commission way also seems to be an effective one," said Representative Avers of Kansas, author of a general price-filing bill. "I am not a prophet or son of a prophet, but I am ready to prophesy that if anything of the sort suggested by the federal trado commission is done it will result in the people paying largely increased prices for meat pro ducts and securing much less satisfac tory service," said Representative Moudell of Wyoming. "My best guess is that the president has too much horse sense to follow the federal trade commission in this ad vising the government to bite off a few more chunks of business control before it has time to assimilate the business affairs which have already been taken over." "The housewife who has ent a eon to war wants something done to etop profiteering before anything else," de clared Representative Focht of renn sylvauia. Livestock men hero scoffed at the packer pica that only two per cent is made on meat production. E. C Lns siter, membor of the market committee of tho American National Livestock association, declared, granted the pack ers do only take two per cent, their profit is made on every turn-over of capital, which is eleven times a year, and therefore makes the total profit on capital invested twenty two por cont. Ho called attention to the fact that during tho four war years the five big packers have mado $140,000,000 in profits. He declared a report being prepared by the agriculture department will show that meantime tho farmer is making no profit whatever in eattlo-raising. F. G. DELANO PHONE 97 A. L EOFP 246 STATE STREET, SALEM, OREGON ROAD INFORMATION FOR MOTORISTS AND CAMPERS This bulletin contains general informa tion concerning road conditions in or near the. National Forests of Oregon and Washington, based on data furn ished by the field rn.cn of the Forest Ke-serve. A dangorous forest-fire season is at band. AH forest travelers, autoists, campers, fishermen, hunters, and others are warned to be careful with fire in tho open. The present extremely dry con' dition of the woods, due to drought and drying winds, makes them especially susceptible to fire, and unusual care is necessary to prevent destructive eon flagrations. Tho cooperation of every one using the forests is needed to keep them green and attractive. By build ing small camp fires in safe places and completely extinguishing tluem before leaving ,one of the chief causs of forest fires may be removed. Smokers should be cautious with burning tobacco and matches. No patriotic tourist will pur posely start a fire and endanger the timber and forage of the forests. Aside from the commercial value of the woods which can be figured in. dollars and cents, thero is their value from a re creational and aesthetic ' standpoint point which can only be estimatcd.IIolp keep the forests valuable by preventing forest fires OREGON ROADS.

J' One Man Discs 27 Acres a Day with tho New lUNIVH&SAlL TRACTOR TI V7R1AA xn Discing is rapidly and economically done with the new Moline-Universal Tractor, Model D, one man with an 8-foot tandem disc harrow covering 27 acres in ten hours. With a 10-foot disc harrow he covers 38 acres, and with a 20-foot peg-tooth harrow 76 acres. The light weight of the Moline Universal Tractor, 3,380 pounds, makes it especially adapted for disc ing and similar work, as it does not pack the soil and uses but little fuel, running on less than half throttle most of the time. It is light, but more than enough power to cull two 14-inch plows at high speed, ajl its weieht being traction weight. The Moline-Universal Tractor at taches directly to the implement and forms a single, compact unit with it that is controlled by the operator from the scat of the implement, where he must sit to do good work. One man with the Moline-Universal docs as good work as two men with, the average tractor. The Moline-Universal is adapted if or all classes of farm work. Its high clearance, ZO'i inches, makes it ideal for cultivating, and it is equally well fitted for planting and harvesting. In, addition, it has ample power for belt work, pulling a 24-inch grain separa tor or 10-inch ensilage cutter with, case. There is work on the farm every day in the year for the loline-Unt-versal Tractor. It will do every field operation that can be done with horses and do it better, faster, and cheaper. This is why the Moline Universal really replaces horses, and, at the same time, by enabling one man to do much more work than ever before possible, solves the farm help problem. . The detailed construction of tho new Moline-Universal, Model D, is the best it is possible to manufacture. Perfected 4-cylimlcr ovcrlicad-valve engine, electric starting and lighting system, complete enclosure of. all working parts, and fifteen Hyatt roll er bsarmgs, are a few of the main features. . , .
