EXHIBIT is BIG SUCCESS

With Ohlmeyer's grand concert or
chestra playing 1.-THE Girl 1 Left Ba-
hind Me-" the Vienese orchestra rem
dering the vocal selection, "Teasu-si'
with every automobile horn in the &C
cessory booths and on every show car
footing" for all it was worth and win
every exhibitor and attendant in
chorus giving three big hurrahs for t4e
success of the exposition and a "tiger'
for the popular management, the great
Shrine auditorium automobile show
came to an official ending at IL o'clock
last night.
Such a spirit of fun was shown in
the closing hours of the show that the
visitors entered into 1t with zeal. Tho
executive officers of the Los Angeles
Motor Car Dealers association were
the recipients of hearty congratula-
tions not only on the success of the
show from an attendance standpoint
all week, but also the high class of the
exhibits furnished and the entertain
ment features that were provided for
the visitors.
Possibly 100000 worth of cars were
sold during the show, and If the "pros-
pects'' that all exhibitors have on their
note books come through with pur-
chases, all the new show models will
have changed ownership by January 1.
A number of agencies in nearby towns,
a few in San Diego, and others in
Arizona, were reported as being estab
lished as results of the show. There
have been many out-of-town visitors,
more than a score of whom came
from San Francisco, but the most en-
thusiastic buyer from distance was
Attorney Frank NJ. Ayers of San
Francisco, who came to the show to
purchase a Cutting car, as they have
no agency in that city.
MANY SALES REPORTED
The Halliday Motor Car com. any
gets credit for the last sale of the
show, for at fifteen minutes before
closing time, Dr. Knox came over to
their exhibit and deposited a check for
! q Halliday touring car. The Califor-
mia Auto company, which had the only
electric car exhibit, was successful in
closing five sales during the show, as
also for two Warren-Detroit gas cars.
The Kissel Kar led the show in the
number of sales, with the Standard
Motor Car company a close second.
The Warren-Detroit car finished its
six day and nights nonstop run at
D. m. Saturday with a total of 24O1
miles. Manager Beardsley gave orders
that the motor should not be stopped.
for he contemplates starting the car
again Monday to go after coast and
world records, as he says the motor
shows absolutely no strain.
The Los Angeles Motor Car Dealers
association, under whose auspices the
show was given, will maintain their
permam ont organization, and will be a
big power in the local automobile
field.

LOCAL MOTORIST/ MAKES
LONG TRIP OVER DESERT

Howard w Squires has just returned
from an unusual 1100-mile trip in his
Apperson Jackrabbit. This trip was all
through the owens river country, go
ing by way of Newhall, San Francis
quito canyon, Elizabeth lake, Lancas-
ter, Mojave, through Red Rock canyon
to siding IL on the Aqueduct railway;
then through the Indian Wells valley,
which is very sandy, and something
that should be avoided by all light
powered cars. Then up the Mount
Springs canyon to an altitude of 1000
feet in fifteen miles. From there down
through the Coso valley to Darwin,
Inyo county. From Darwin to the east
side of the owens Lake, Keeler, Lone
Pine and Independence, returning on
the west side of the Owens lake, via
Olancha, HaiWee, Little lake, Indian
Wells, Mojave, and over the same route
asst taken on the outgoing trip, to Los
Angeles again.
At Indian Wells he had two blow
outs, and had to drive to Mojave,
thirty-five miles, on the rims, where
he borrowed one casing and three
tubes from the aqueduct people. Mr..
Squires complains of bitter cold on this
trip and said that the roads, generally
speaking, were fine for a high-powered
car, and from siding II on the Aque-
duct railway to the Mount Springs
canyon it would be perfectly impossible
for any but the highest powered, best
equipped cars without expecting a
great deal of trouble.
Mr.. Squires has made this trip sew
eral times; and, in fact, spent couple
of years at Skidoo, on the edge of
Death valley, a few miles east Of
Emigrant Springs. He was thunder
struck with the growth of the Owens
river valley. He also stated that the
Newhall grade is in terrible shape and
that the Newhall tunnel opening would
indeed be blessing to automobilists or
teamsters In several places in the
sandiest part of the run the engine pan
dragged in the sand
He also tells of an amusing incident
that happened just before he got to In
dian Wells. His last casing had blown
out, so he filed it with rope. waste,
overalls, extra shirts, etc, that the
party had with them. From there on
he had to take a five or six-mile grade
to Coyote Holes. and when he struck
that place some one yelled "Fire"
He stopped to see what the trouble
was and found that the friction had
ignited his impromptu tire, and it was
goodby to the shirts. rope and the other
conglomerate mess he had put into the
tire.

ESTIMATES WERE WELL CUT
STATE AUDITOR NATION HAS
PARED THE APPROPRIATIONS.
Green Houses Cut Off-The Auditor
Does Not Think That They VIII
Cure Insanity-$55,ooo for To.
peka Hospital Cut OFF.

Topeka, Kan.-Three7quarters OF o
million dollars is approximately the
amount State Auditor ]. NJ. Nation has
pared off of the appropriations
recommended for the state charitable
institutions by the superintendent
and board of control. All the needs OF
the various state institutions are sent
to the state auditor and he makes up
the estimates for the legislature. or
course the legislature may increase
the appropriations recommended by
the state auditor, but as rule leg
islature is not anxious to appropriate
any more than Is absolutely neces-
sary. The amount pared off the APP
propriations recommended for sevevn
of the nine charitable institutions is
$711,S50.
If the legislature follows these estl-'
mates and others which will be sent
in by State Auditor Nation the APP
preparations during the coming ses-
sion will be far below what they have
been the past few sessions. Mr.. Ma
ton says he intends to trim them to
the bone. The policy adopted by Mr..
Nation will not prove popular with the
superintendent of the charitable in
situations nor with the heads of schools
and other institutions in the state.
But nation is retiring from the politi-
cal game and it makes no difference
with him.
Mr.. Nation has prepared list of
figures and a statement for the legis-
lature, the statement explaining the
cuts he has made in his estimates. He
contends in the statement that green
houses at state institutions are nice
things to show to visitors, but that
they do not cure insanity.

NEWSPAPERS TAKING IT UP
METROPOLITAN DaIIies Giving Advice
How to Check rheumatism and
Kidney Trouble.

This Is a simple home recipe now
being made known in all the larger
cities through the newspapers. 1t Is
intended to check the many cases OF
Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble
which have made so many cripples'
inyalids and weaklings of some OF our
brightest and strongest people.
The druggists everywhere, even in
the smallest communities, have been
notified to supply themselves with the
ingredients, and the sufferer will have
no trouble to obtain them. The pre-
scription is as follows: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce, and Compound
Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in bottle. The
dose is one teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
Recent experiments in hospital
cases prove this simple mixture ef-
fective in Rheumatism. Because OF
its positive action upon the elimina-
tive tissues of the kidneys, It compels
these most vital organs to filter from
the blood and system the waste Inn
purities and uric acid which are the
cause of rheumatism. 1t cleanses the
kidneys, strengthens them and re-
moves quickly such symptoms as
backache, blood disorders. bladder
weakness. frequent urination, painful
scalding and discolored urine. II acts
as a gentle. thorough regulator to the
entire kidney structure.
Those who suffer and are accusT
toned to purchase a bottle of medi-
cine should not let little incon-
venience interfere with making this
ND. or have your druggist do 1t foryou

counties in which the unowned land
was found are Morton, Greeley, Deca-
tur, Wallace, Sherman, Cheyenne and
Rawlins.
This land becomes the property Of
the State Agricultural college. Over

made a grant of 100000 acres to the
Kansas State Agricultural college. Be-
fore the college secured titled to the
land the Union Pacific was given a
land grant in Kansas, taking up about
eight thousand acres of the college

that time and the college did not feel
the loss. However, few years ago

naming land for the school and the
necessary steps were taken.

Kansas Scales Were Clever.

John Kleinhans, state weight and
scale inspector brought in a set Of
scales from Hiawatha which is a mar
vel when it comes to swindling. The
scales balance to dot, yet they run
almost an ounce short on every pound
and about two ounces on two pounds.
Kleinhans made few deductions. II
those scales were used 100 times a
day, which is not an unusual number,
and the average price of the stuff
weighed was 10 cents a pound, the
merchant who used them cleaned up
5000 a year net profits on short
weights.
81 didn't arrest the merchant who
used them" said Kleinhans, because
he bought the scales along with the
store some time ago. He said they al.
ways balanced and he thought they
were right, but confiscated the
scales"

Coburn's View of It.

F. D. Coburn, president Of the State
Temperance Union, has taken hand
in the row started by Clerin Zumwalt,
an employee of the union, when he had
a porter on the Rock Island train ar
rested for selling liquor. Much has
been written about this case and Zim-
walt has been criticised severely in
some quarters.
'I have not the least idea" says
President Coburn in letter. that
Zumwalt did the thing described and
which you and | and the rest would
disapprove. The kernel of the whole
matter seems to be that this negro
porter was dispensing liquor in Kansas
in violation of the plainly written and
we'll understood law He was caught
at it, convicted according to law, anil
is paying the penalty. If this view OF
1t is the correct one, do not hesitate
to say that l am glad Mr. Porter is in
fail"

Abilene Bank to Pay All.

Topeka, KANT is the opinion OF
officials of the State banking depart
ment that the Abilene Srate bank,
whose cashier, Flack, absconded some
months ago leaving biz shortage,
will be able to pay its depositors in
full without having total! back on the
state guarantee fund. This bank was
one of the first to enter the guaranty

off but 100000 and The banking depart.
ment claims that it has enough assets
to pay off the rest. However, it will
take little time to realize upon them
and the depositors m2y have to b. is
sued certificates of Indebtedness to
run a short while. The stockholders
will get nothing back out OF their in
vestment Some of them will not only
lose what they put in, but also their
double liability.
