Bond Business Shows Good Improvement There Is an entirely different feeling in the brokers' olllces and the bond 'H , Ulj investment houses from that of ten days ngo. One of the best-known eentrnlly " bated banking and Investment houses said thnt jestcrday tho firm hud done the hrcest business In bonds that the concern had done for months, and u sheaf af nrdsr alius was held up ns evidence. Others repotted blmllarly, and the remainder ' tlilled said they had done fairly well and believed the tide had turned. Lee, Hlgginson Co. repotted a tare numoer ol inquiries ior mo rccrni iwuc ' (f Kansas City Terminal one-jenr notes, which were cleaned up two days after tolnK placed on the market. ( There have been hints in some quarters for the last few (Us of new Issues ) almost ready to launch, some large and some small, but for some leiisnn they arc f'tinsing flre." It may be that the flttns which, it Is said, expect to float thoc Issues ate sound- ; tolthe authorities at Washington as to their course of prorcduie, or. perhaps, ire waiting for the appointment of a priority boaid to pass on tli essential and nonessential financing in the Interests of the Government's competition In tho money ' market, ... The consensus of opinion In the financial dlsttict of this iit Is that the jf appointment of such a board Is only a matter of time. The better feeling In Investment houses- and brokers' olllces Is attributed by atme to the more favorable change In the sentiments of the labor leaders, so th.it Mrious strikes which threatened to upset conditions generally arc not looked upon f hi menace any longer. Others say it is largely to the Delict mat not oniy win the Interstate Commerce Commission give a favorable decision In tho ir. per cent raise in freight rates, but that the next Impending step Is the complete control of ' the railroads and their concentrated managempnt by the Government.

LOUIS HOCKY MOUNTAIN AND l'Aujr iu 1917 Increase Of over 50 makes of cars, Hudson is the only one that has not increased in price since last January. And because, in the past, it has been customary to set a date for higher prices to go into effect, many people have put off their purchase of a Hudson until the last minute. Hudson will advance, for with the present price of materials they can not be manufactured and sold at today's prices after the materials now on hand are exhausted. But bqfore that time comes our allotment of Hudsons will all be sold, and we will not be able to sell you a car at present prices. When these other makes of cars sold at from $100 to $300 less than the Hudson, our sales were greater than the total sales of any two cars PRESENT PRICES Phaeton, 7 passenger $1650 Speedster, 4 passenger '. 1750 Cabriolet, 3 passenger 1950 Sedan 2175 Limousine 2925 Town Car 2925 Mmousino Landau 3025 Town Car Landau 3025 that have been advanced up to the price of the Hudson. Now that practically all the cars have advanced in price, Hudson sales are at their highest. Remember, too, that Hudson is never compared with cars that sell at or near its price, but always with cars that sell at many hundreds of dollars more. Men who planned to buy Hudsons next spring are ordering them today. They know then the price will be higher, and the demand greater. Today there are over 40,000 Hudsons in use 40,000 enthusiastic owners. The present situation is an advan tageous one. You can save money if you do not delay. Any day now we may exhaust our allotment. Then you will have to pay more. NEW PRICES Phaeton, 7 passenger. . . Speedster, 4 passenger. Runabout Landau , Sedan , Touring Limousine .... Limousine Town Car Limousine Landau ....

One of the big improvements in the new Lexington Min ute Man Six, $1585, is its frame. More than one hundred sep arate parts have been eliminated. All these parts, instead of being bolted on, are welded to and made integral with the frame. Yiju can see what a tight, snug, non-rattle, non-squeak job this beautiful new Lexington is. Another exclusive feature is the Moore Multiple Ex haust System. This prevents dead gas from choking the engine and from robbing it of power. In fact, you get 22.8 more power plus a very substan tial saving in fuel. The motor is forty horsepower. The wheelbase is 122 inches. In what other car at or near the Lexington price will you get a spotlight; power tire pump; Moto-Meter; double tire rack without paying extra for them; In the Lexington you do. Come in at once and see the new models, or 'phone Poplar 7G50 for demonstration. THE ROGERS-LEXINGTON MOTOR CO. 851 N.

Yet in a surprisingly large percentage of cases, tricks of memory result in serious losses of time, the necessity for referring calls to special operators, and inexplainable annoy ance to persons called in error. Never before has the necessity for safeguard ing the effectiveness of telephone service been so great. The demands of the Government are gigantic, as are those of private business. The Bell System is throwing its every force into the war. And that the service may be main tained at the highest possible, standard, it particidarly urges not only that the directory be consxdtcd and calls made by number in all cases, but also that the operators be shown tho politeness and consideration theirxearn8t effort deserves.
