PATENT FOR AUTOS.
Claimed to Prevent Practically All
Waste of Power.

William Carter, for the past FIVE
years chauffeur in st Louis, has
produced an automobile invention
which seems to insure him an in
come of imposing proportions for
the balance of his lite. He has per-
fected a device for controlling the
power of motor car in such man
ner as to prevent practically all
waste. As an economizer in the
maintenance of machine it would
seem Indispensable, and it has ad-
ditional features which give it val
lie to factories in testing and meas
uring currents.
During the auto show which is to
open at the Jai Alai Building next
Saturday night, the Carter device
will have its first public demonstra-
ton. 1t will be attached to mo-
tor running at the rate of 90 miles
an hour. The motor will be started
when the doors are opened for the
first time and it will run continu-
ously through all the sessions of
the show. 1t will automatically reg
lister the total number of miles COW
cred, the daily distance attained.
the speed and the amount of power
being used. The young inventor
will be present in person to explain
it's workings.
Mr.. Carter was formerly citizen
of Union City and there are those
who remember him here and wish
him we'll.

Dear reader, you hope to be saved;
you expect, some time, to be saved.
Why not settle this most important
matter of your souls salvation at
oncef You know you have sinned;
that now you are guilty and unfor-
given; that, should you die as you
are, you must lose your soul. Why
not be saved just nowl Death may
end your probation any moment.
The following are some of the rea-
sons Satan offers to keep you unsaved:

Thousands have listened tc that an
swer and died in their sins. Will you
do the same?
2. 81 am not sure the Christian
religion is reality" Eighteen hum
dred years it has withstood the pow
ers of hell, infdelity and Satan s rage.
1t stands to-day above everything that
occupies the thought Of man. 1t will
endure forever. When all creation
passes away it will still remain God S
Eternal Truth. OF all certain things
nothing is more certain than God S
salvation.
8. There are somany hypocritesl"
Well, grant there are. Do you want
to be with them eternally? Unless
you are saved, you will have them for
companions throughout eternity.
a. ~ am not worthy; Unjust make
myself better before l can be saved"
Jesus came to save not the righteous
but the sinner. If you are sinner,
he calls you. Will you heed the call3
Dear reader, just as you are, just
now, give up your sins, give up your
self; accept Jesus as your pardoning
Savior; then you may enter upon the
inheritance of Gods children to be
sanctifed wholly, and with pure
heart enjoy Him eternally.
Turn to God at once and live!"
The power for work is love. It was
love that moved God to all His work
in creation and redemption. 1t was
love that enabled Christ as a man to
work and to suffer as He did. 1t is
love that can inspire us with power
of self sacrifice which seeks not its
own, but is ready to live and die for
others. 1t is love that gives us the
patience that refuses to give up the
unthankful or the hardened. 1t is love
that reaches and overcomes the most
hopeless. Both in ourselves and those
for whom we labor love is the power
for work.
Let us love as Christ loved us.

ding. Relatives were present from
South Dakota and guests came from
Cresco and Decorah and the immediate
neighborhood
The house was beautifully decorated
with ferns and asters and the corner

was transformed into bower of beauty.
Promptly at 8o'clock, the bridal process
sion moved to their places to the strains
of Mendelssohn' wedding march. Rev.
Herbert j. Hinman, pastor of the First
Congregational Church of Cresco, per-
formed the ceremony. The two brides

After the completion af the cersrnsss

to open the county's strong box in the

two weeks Treasurer Kakac's safe has
defed all attempts to open it. 1t is a
time lock, but whether the trouble is
due to the clock or to other causes can
not be determined and to open it the
services of an expert in that line will
probably be necessary. The old safe
has caused considerable trouble before.
On one occasion it defed Mr.. White,
then treasurer, for two weeks, and at
later time, during P. T. Searles term

it. AS Mr.. Kakac banks the bulk OF
