BAD FEELING IN
The AUTO TRADE
BIG ExPosITIoNs LIKELY TO BE
SOMEWHAT OF A FIzZLE UN-
LESS GERM THAT IS GNAWlNG
ITS WAY INTO TRADE Is NOT
CRUSHED.

Unless a cure is speedily found for
the germ that is gnawing it's way in
to automobile trade circles, causing
rival factions bad feelings and too
many shows, the 1910 exhibits will be
seriously affected.
In st. Louis there have been reports
That rival show might be held in the
Coliseum, but this SENS hardly likely
in view of the statements made by the
show committee that applications al
ready received for the armory exhibit
covers over so per cent Of the avail
able space; A large number of deal
ers who early expressed themselves as
favoring the February exhibit are ex-
7ected to have their space applica-
lions in long before Dec. Is.
The situation in Kansas City, If re-
rorts are true. is almost hopeless. The
Auto Trade association there is said
to have split up into two rival fac
tions and dates set for two shows. The
registered date of the regular or orig
inal exhibit is Feb. % to March 5.
while the insurgents say that they
have secured Convention hall for it's
show the week of Jan. II. Then there
Is Pittsburg, which may also be sad
died with couple of shows, some
dealers there not being satisfied with
the plans of the trade oganization-
Buffalo also appears to have been Wis
tied by the new germ and two shows
are scheduled. That OF the trade asso-
citation is set for the week of March
Z, while the regular show held by the
Buffalo Automobile club is down on
the records for Feb. 14-1s.
Detroit will hold it's two shows as
usual. the date Of the ninth annual be-
ing Jan. 24-29, and that Of the other
Jan. 1851. The former exhibit is
practically a manufacturers display.
while the later is held by the dealers.
There appears to be good reasons for
two shows in the Michigan metropolis.
the largest automobile manufacturing
city in the world. The city has no
building large enough to hold all those
who wish to exhibit there so like New
York and Philadelphia, two shows are
necessary, the Quaker affair being q
double header.

Hunting in Motor Cars Is the
Latest Sport on Kansas Prairies


The automobile IL notwithstanding
the method Of hunting wild game In
western Kansas. No true sportsman
now starts on any kind OF hunt out
there without an auto, according TO
The Kansas City Journal. The old
way Of hunting from a two-horse
spring wagon Is entirely too slow
now.
A wolf hunt under the new plan is
the most exciting of all. One man
runs the auto and another does the
shooting. Al machine can run miles
and miles on the open prairie of the
west without coming in contact with
fence or a creek When a wolf. or
coyote. as they are called out there,
lie scared up, the auto takes after him.
Now a wolf runs in an easy circle. He
doesn't dodge back and -orth. So IL
is comparatively easy for the driver
to keep right behind him. But the
auto must go some. A coyote can
knock off thirty miles an hour with
ease. A few days ago some Garden
City hunters ran down a coyote and
killed him with the wheels. This was
considered great hunting feat.
When hunters used to chase coyotes
on horses and with dogs, there was
never a record of where they drove
the coyotes TO their dens. But il is
with autos. Coyotes run un-
til they are about to be taken in and
then make for their dens. In order to
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1909-12-15

smoke them out' the driver attaches
rubber rube to the gas tank OF his
car and runs the other end down in
the hole. That soon brings the coy
ote out. And the race is again re-
sumed until the animal is hagged.
The old-fashioned way of hunting
jack rabbits was for several hunters
to so out In two big lumber wagons.
The wagons would be connected with
a piece Of wire about 200 feet long.
This wire dragging over the ground
between the wagons would stir the
Jack rabbits up and the hunters
walking behind the wire would shoot
them. IL was not an uncommon thing
for bunch Of hunters to bring in two
wagon loads Of jack rabbits az a re-
sule Of one days hunt. The rabbits
were sold to rabbit cannery and
worked up into canned stuffs for east
ern markets. This is the way rab-
bits are still hunted for the canneries.
But the true sportsmen, who go out
for the fun of the thing. have a new
plan now. They stay in the auto and
snare the rabbits with wire loop.
Autos make good blinds for wild
duck shooting. and they also enable
sportsmen to follow UP a flock of
ducks from one pond or slough to an
other. Frequently the hunters will
take out after a flock of ducks and
bag several of them before they get
out of range from the auto.

DO NOT OVERGIVE
AT CHRISTMAS
WOMAN SAYS THAT PEOPLE
WOULD GIVE WHAT WE CAN ON
FESTIVE OCCASION AND NOT
LET SPIRIT or BARTER ENTER
INTO GIVING OF PRESENTS.

In speaking of giving presents at
Christmas, a Fargo woman gives some
good advic-. she said:
Unless one is wealthy enough to
buy for herself the necessary practical
belongings she is apt to sigh when Civ
en- useless presents. This mistake is
made more often by the girl who need
not count cost than by the one who
has learned the value of money.
Some people put little5or no thought
into their giving, therefore their gifts
frequently fail to pleas. For instance.
the girl who lives In one room has lit
the need OF ornaments. Her space is
so limited that she does not know what
to do with her belongings. How much
more sensible to give such a girl some-
thing personal that would save her
allowance or time!
Because the girl who works likes
personal gifts 1t does not follow they
must be for utility only. Often. she is
hungry for the beautiful, and q bit of

zone thing that Jars on most girls
is unfitness; another ID the feeling that
anything IL considered good enough for
them. No matter how simple a present
Is II with 1t goes the loving thought
Of the taste and wishes OF her who liz
to receive It. the gift cannot fail to
bring pleasure.
There is no surer way to destroy
the happiness OF the Christmas season
than to bring into 1t the spirit Of
barter. How often vs. hear d woman
say must give Jane something nice
for she always spends such lot on
me" or Sally's gifts are 40 stingy
any old thing VIII do for her"
Some women have this commercial
spirit n giving down to such 4 fine
art that they never direct their pres-
ents until the last minute; that they
