UNEXPECTED WISDOM.

There is no assurance. either In the char

When the Tempelhofer Field was ac-

made one of the most astounding bust

field from farmers for the paltry sum

a governmental department. FLANEUR.

Chicago, June s. --"Chicago will suf-

TAKING A SPIN IN
SCHNE|DER'S VElIE
Mud, Sand, Hills and Good Roads
Look Alike to Both Driver
and Car.

Yesterday afternoon party of
four, including a representative of
this paper, took delightful spin
in the Velie machine owned by
Emil Shneider. Although this is
his first car, he drives it like a
veteran.
The one thing enjoyed above all
others was the delightful at
mosphere and the invigorating air
sented with the odor from the pines
and eagerly inhaled by the oc.
cupants of the car. The day was
ideal and the route taken was di-
rectly north of the city toward
Turtle Lake. The ride was a rare
treat for the participants and the
only regret was that they could in
no way reciProcate.
e The Velie 40 "runs like sixty"
is most becoming to this king of
cars. Should you care to be con-
vince of the superior qualities of
this popular machine just ask to
take spin over any road leading
from Bemidji. 1t is a pleasure to
ride where there are no motor
troubles and still more of pleas
ure where any road, be it steep or
sandy, can be gone over without a
hitch or catch. The Velie is a
we'll constructed and staunch ma
chine. 1t acts quickly and has all
the power you want when you
want it. 1t seems that the speed
of the car is unlimited. The spin
lasted about two hours and the
time was considered we'll spent by
the auto party.
Mr.. Schneider states that he is
we'll satisfied with his car and he
has driven it nearly 1000 miles.
He purchased his machine from
E. A. Barker, who is the local re.
preventative of the Velie Manufact-
uring company.
