OTHER CLAIMS HONOR
Fremont Gazette Says Fred Aid
ridge Made First Auto.

"The inventive genius of w. s. Cur
rier, residing seveh miles east Of the
city, has resulted in the building of
the first homemade automobile in Ma
haska county.
"Mr. Currier came to the city today
in the machine, making the trip over
the seven miles of rough and billy
roads in about forty minutes. The
machine is unique and attracted con-
siderable attention in the city.
1T is of the runabout pattern and
weighs about $50 pounds. All the
parts of the machine, from, the gaso-
line engine to the body were made
by Mr., Currier, the only parts having
been purchased were the tires and
wheels. The body part of the ma
chine is made of an old buggy and
the axles of gas pipe, The engine
and other parts of the automobile
We're made by the gentleman in his
machine shops in Curriers' mills.
Labor was the greatest cost in con-
structing the machine, the tires and
wheels of the machine costing less
than $780,"
The above quoted article is taken
from the Oskaloosa Herald of Friday.
Now, we do not want to discredit the
inventive genius of Mr.. Currier, but
desire to correct the Herald in that
the above mentioned automobile is
not the first homemade automobile
in this county. In the issue of the
Gazette of July 2, 1903, we gave a
rather lengthy description of an auto
mobile made the previous winter by
Fred Aldridge, in the employ of Aid
ridge & Reeves, of this place. Mr.
Aldridge has the auto at the present
time and it is doing good service, the
only change having been made in it
since it's construction is that in 1904
larger engine was placed in the ma
chine. Like Mr.. Currier, Mr.. Aid
ridge made everything connected
with the machine except the wheels
and a few odds and ends that were
cheaper to buy. Anyone desiring to
see this auto can step into the rear
of the hardware store and take a view
of it.-Fremont Gazette.

THE DAY OF the FARMER.
Occupation Properly Recognized -
One Of the Professions.

The farmer who is not an amateur
is a really increasing factor in to-
days life. In fact, farming is rapidly
becoming one Of the professions. We
have our agricultural schools, just a.
we have our law schools.
1t Is getting to be business ~
we'll. Farmers have their trusts. like
other manufacturers.
1t is a far cry from the New Eng
land farmer. trying to arrange an ex-
ploded granite quarry into a stone
wall that he may have room in which
to plant his crop, and that master Of
capital, science, and black earth ten
feet deep who plows with q traction
engine and reaps with a ten horse
team. And between these two types
OF farmers the drift is steadily toward
the latter.
The comic paper does not laugh at
the granger" as frequently as 1t used
to laugh. 1t wants his subscription.
The capitalist does not foreclose
mortgages on the prairie farm now.
He borrows money OF Its owner.
And, what Is vastly more impor.
tant. the entire country looks with q
respect bordering upon apprehension
on this new type Of American who
has decided views on railroads. trusts.
and. in fact. on every subject, from
the green bug" to the lecturer at his
Chautauqua. This rise Of the farmer
into national significance is welcome
in view of the inundation Of great
cities by immigrants Who have zig.
nificance only en- masse.
The farm Is the nursery Of individ.
ualism. II you are q cli6 dweller In

create wealth with the help Of nature
