AUTOMOBILE NOTES.
II has been the fashion among some writer's and
not a few motorists TO credit the farmer Win a
feeling Of anlmosity toward the automobile, In
the New YORK to Paris race some OF the drivers
complained that the peasants" as they called
them. charged e1orbltant rates for the assistance
rendered the snowbound machines. g.. y. Sharpe
stated In a recent Interview that his own expert
ence With the Studebaker army despatch car mat
made the run from New York 10 Fort Leavon
worth, Kan, most OF the way over the route, would
lead him TO an entirely different conclusion re-
gardlng the farmers attitude. SAID ne. me
farmers helped US dig through the snow drlt'cd
roads where ordinarily a farmer would not think
OF asking his horses TO 20, and considering the
service rendered do not believe their charges
were eSorbltant. Furthermore many OF them
exhibited an enthusiasm that was cheering TO our
tired drivers and crew. All along the llne our
] drivers reported the same Kind Of treatment anu
nowhere were they more Enthusiastically wei
coined than In the great farming State OF Kansas
believe that almost invariably, II the motorIst
will regard The farmer as a friend Instead OF an
enemy and accord him the gentlemAnly treatment
which Is due. the farmer will be only TOO glad 10
meet the motorist on the same footing.
