rising in the east and shed its bright

K. l.. Palmer was out with his auto
Thursday. Early in November MIR.
Palmer retired his machine for the
winter thinking he would have no
further use for it. But the weather
and roads kept fine, so he put the tires
on again and got all ready for busi-
ness when the recent two inches of
snow came and interfered with the
proceedings. Thursday, however, was
ffne day and he took the big machine
out for an airing. The day of the
snow storm two enthusiasts drove a
machine all the way from Minneapolis
to Sauk Centre, and when they arrived
here they looked like pair of hoboes
wet down in good shape. The roads
are fine and if one wraps himself
throughly in furs to keep out the cold.
