Best Field For Sale is The Men Who Cultivate the Land.

Directors Arranging For Auto SSisSlS? Event Plan State Celebration

Frank L.riooT^ F. EIIip Hunter

The farmers are the men most interested in the new things in automobile design. That means that the automobile men are looking toward the men who till the soil as prospective buyers for their goods, hence the officers of the Indianapolis Trade Asociation, in arranging their opening week, March 8-13,

As James J. Hill says, the largest single industry in the United States is the tilling of the soil. The people engaged in agriculture number 12,500,000. In manufacturing, manufacturing arts, including mechanics, wood workers, blacksmiths and others, there are employed 10,800,000 people. Trade, merchandising and commercial pursuits give employment to 3,000,000. Transportation lines make a livelihood for 2,600,000. In other words, agriculturalists in this country constitute more than one-third of all the people engaged in any occupation.

The purchasing power of the farmer is perpetual. He always has something he can sell at any time. The people in the cities need what the fi.rmer grows. He provides the necessaries of life. He is never out of work. He has ready money today.

The real power of any nation depends, not upon the size of its army or navy, nor the cash in its banks, but upon the number and quality of its food producers. With one-third of the food producers of the world on the field of battle and another third unable to market its produce, the remaining third, mostly American, has become the world's provisioner and is becoming highly prosperous in a time of depression for the rest of the world.

Our farmers have gathered crops of unprecedented abundance and are marketing them at the highest prices received for many years. Whatever else the survivors of the war may lack they must have food. The farmer has been helped—not hurt— by the war. *.*

War is Trade Stimulus.

Speaking of the automobile and conditions surrounding the industry, F. Ellis Hunter, secretary of the Indianapolis Auto Trade Association, says: "A great stimulus to the motor car trade of the United States has come through the war in Europe and the satisfying of the needs of the countries abroad for motor vehicle equipment."

All Trends to Be Shown. The opening week will show all the trends. All sorts of cars will be shown from the low priced one to the highest priced one. Electrics and gasoline vehicles will be on exhibition, as well as commercial cars and accessories.

Rj .P HejTid^rpon.

To make the automobile show in Indianapolis, March 8-13, a state-wide event in the point of interest is the plan of the officers of the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association. With Indianapolis a sort of clearing house for automobile sales, the autos go out all over the state, into every county and every township. The ones most interested in the show are the dealers from the Counties other than Marion and their prospects. Governor Ralston has consented to take part in the festivities incident- to the opening of the show, with Indianapolis commercial and civic bodies assisting.

AUTOS TO FARMERS SEE AUTO DISPLAYS

Ifire

preparing

exhibits, entertainment and reception which will interest the Indiana farmer.

Most of the automobiles which are sold through Indianapolis as a distributing point go to the farmer or the resident of the small town.

The farmer is America's greatest purchasing power. Consequently his financial status is the best criterion on which to ba#e an estimate of the country's prosperity.

Many Exhibits Attract Great Attention From Show Visitors.

Indianapolis, March 10—The Indianapolis automobile "opening week" began Monday and will close next Saturday. This is the annual spring exhibition given under the auspices of the Indianapolis Auto Trade Association.

The show consists of exhibits of all sorts and models of cars—electric, gasoline, commercial and pleasure. There are cars of all sorts of prices. All sorts of accessories are exhibited.

The opening week is being held in the show rooms of the dealers along the various "automobile rows" and there are large crowds attending, the visitors coming from all parts of the state.

Automobile dealers are bringing the prospects to Indianapolis to look over the cars. Dealers are much delighted with the interest being shown.

The average 1915 car shows a sharply curved or pointed radiator, back of which the hood slopes slightly outward and upward until it blends into and becomes part of the cowl. Then the wind shields are inclined so as to offer less air resistance, while the tops also have been considered from the wind resistance point of view.

Stream lines in bodies have been drawn as well. Boats and airships, it is explained, use smooth stream lines that they may move with less friction and disturbance through the air and water.

The crowned fender also has replaced the mudguard. It turns down in front of the wheel and not only catches mud, but shields the top of the wheel from the air, thereby still further lessening the wind resistance. Some one figured out, it seems, that the top of the wheel travels twice as fast as the car and its mudguard, thereby offering four times the wind resistance. By moulding the guard so as to lessen the resistance it is contended power is saved and speed gained.

Oh, yes, it is very bad taste to carry tool boxes and tires on the running board. They should be tucked away in the rear of the body, which is tapered so as to cause less vacuum as the car travels.

Also taking a lesson from the aeroplane makers the automobile designers have lightened their motors. Visitors to the show must quickly note, so as not to show their ignorance, that the motors are much lighter, have a smaller bore and also a longer stroke.

As for self-starters and electric lighting—they all have 'em. Driving with a 1915 model is merely a matter of steering, shifting gears and touching buttons.. For a button starts the car, a button lights this and that and every other lamp, a button shrieks a warning to the pedestrian. And if shifting gears is too great exertion the motorist can have a car in which even that is controlled by buttons. Perhaps in time buttons will be educated to handle the wheel.

Another Tendency.

Possibly the making of interchangeable and adaptable car bodies is another tendency of the motor car trade.
