A literary genius is a man who feas the ability of saying the com mon things of life that you know are true, and saying them in artis tic form, so that when you hear him speak you say: "I had thought of that but couldn't ' express in words.*' We take the marh]p? of thought, rough and indefinite in chape and carve it into a Michel- i angelian angel of expression. There; is a man of that type out in Cali-, fornia. He is a preacher and lie! thought he oould run a newspaper; j he trii?d it one day and told how it felt. Someone clipped it out and ihanded it to us, and since it is en-: tirely too good to run under "What' Others Say * we are going to give it more prominence.

As a rule, tli ? average farmer does not concern himself over rail way problems, car shortages, etc., be cause relatively few of them ship in car load quantities, 'but if the present car shortage exists at the time the farmers usually order out their fer tilizer, no matter whether the quan tity is one ton or a car load, if the cars cannot be had in greater number than the present supply, many farm ers will be disappointed by not re ceiving his fertilizer in time to plant his cotton and other crops early and' thus take the first practical step to get ahead of the boll wvevil. The F\irm imDrovement DeDartment of the A. B. & A. is trying in every way it can to induce all farmers to order out their fertilizer immediately in order that they may not be dis appointed by delays owing to car shortage, congestion at terminal points, and any other reasons which may cause serious loss if this im portant part of the farmers'work is not attended to before it is too late. Next to early plowing ahd prepara tion'probably there is no more im portant thing for the farmer to do than to order his fertilizer out in ad vance of the time he needs it. ^Potash & Perlmntter.* That rare combination of humor, pathos and characterization grouped under the name of "Potash & Perl mutter" will be at the Opera House Friday night. The story as recalled Is not only full of delicious humor, but it has a charming love story running througn it and the side bits of characteriza tion with which it is crowded, make * . a never ending fund of delight. Briefly the story of "Potash & Perl mutter" deal6 with the trial and trib ulations of these two partners of the cloak and suit trad? through their generous championship of Boris An drieff, a young Russian, whom the representatives of the Czar are trying to drag back to the country of his birth and to a lifetime in Siberia. They pledge their all to go his bail and when, through their ignorance of the law; he starts for Canada to gain a respite from tlie trickery of the Russian representatives, and the part ners are in danger of forfeiting their business and their homes, the story takes a serious turn indeed. But Boris learns through the news papers of the danger of "his benefac tors and returns in time to save them from ruin and to learn of his complete vindication. There is plenty of ro mance to add to the charm of the play, for Boris marries "Abe's" young daughter, while Perlmutter wins "i "'ady d signer" with a business head like 'Carnegis and a shape like Lil lian Russell?a young ladv by the way who figures extensively in the good fortunes of th? re-established a * ill ill. THE FUTURE OF THE AUTOMOBILE IXDUSTKY One-half of the 8,000,003 Automobiles In Use Today are Used for Business Purposes. So much has been writt.n relative to the development of the motor car industry and so many prophesies have been ventured without proper con sideration* of vital controlling factors, that a clear and simple analysis of the subject may serve to dissipate much of the unfounded conjecture. The automobile market is divided into two broad fields. First the ru ral class, which includes all persons engaged in farming and others in va rious business who live in towns of less than five hundred population. Second, the urban o^ans, which com prises all people in any but farming pursuits, who liw in towns of five hundred or more* population. In the rural or farming market, there are 6.500.000 families. One mil lion of these now own motor cars and one and one-half million are poor, illiterate, or negroes, who for the purpose of this study may be ex cluded from the prospective buying class. There remain, 4,000,000 farm families who are possible automobile buyers. In the urban class, covered by 11, 000 towns and cities of more than five hundred population, there are about 5,000,000 home owners of which num ber only 2,000,000 now own cars. Ac cordingly. there remain 3,000,000 prospective buyers in this class, or a total actual market, in both rural and urban classes, of 7,000,000 possible automobile buyers. The acceptable avereage life an an automobile is about five years in the hands of the original owners; and as the man who once owns a car will not thereafter be without one, we must include the re-order market which in 'the Calendar year of 1917 will be about 600,000 this being twen ty per cent, of the 3.000,000 now in use. For the year 1917, therefore, the au tomobile business will face a market of about 7,600,000 possible buyers. Not more than 1,600,000 cars will be built in the coming year, leaving a possible excess market of 6,000,000 buyers at the beginning of 1918. These figures are decidely conserva tive because they take no considera tion of (1) any export outlet. (2) the people who have or will have two or more machines, (3) increased popu lation, (4) increased prosperity, ( ">) a million or more town and city fam ilies who do not own th > homes in which they live, but are well able to buy and maintain a motor car, (6) the business houses, retail and wholesale merchants who use thous ands of roadsters for salesm-n, and many thousands more of delivery ca] (regular automobile chassis with cod mercial body), (7) taxicabs and oti er cars for public Lire.
