they are, if good, costly in the
extreme. The small pearls one

The pearl Is all the more sought
after because, unlike other pre-

polishing, can enhance its beau

pearl comes to you exactly as it

the ranks that supported its competitors,
and that steady call for luxurious models
can always be depended upon.
In what so closely approximates the
finality Of design that Will be disclosed in
the cars for next year there are many fea-
lures that have been part OF the automo-
bile since the early days Of the industry
Many Of the basic principles OF construc-
tion were grasped by the earliest con-
,structors and have been retained from year
to year as the most logical in, automobile
design
Some important features. however, have
been developed through use and have be-
come practically universal. Chief among
these are the shaft drive, which this year
is so general that barely per cent Of the
cars will be equipped with the chain, and
magnetic ignition. which has very rapidly
displaced the battery method in the last
two years The percentage OF 1910 cars
that are magnetic equipped is very high.
The tendency in this direction has been
accelerated by the production OF reliable
low prices nfagnetos, although, as in other
lines of the trade. high price remains
synonymous with the highest efficiency.
What visitors to the show will find the
plete automobile will undoubtedly be the
alteration of body shapes. Builders Of
bodies have gone far afield IN the effort to
produce designs to suit the admirers OF
novelty although, OF course, their work
has been in the direction Of utility and
comfort The more general use OF the

concrete fireproof building.
The Omaha plant is used to charge the
tanks for the entire western country from
the Mississippi river to Salt Lake and from
Canada to the gulf OF Mexico. Tanks are
shipped from Kansas City, Minneapolis,
Denver, Salt Lake and all western cities
to be refilled.
The Omaha plant has reduced the cost Of
refiling to Omaha owners from $3.50 to g.
The saving is in freight rates from Omaha
to Indianapolis and the return of the empty
tank. Numbers on the tanks indicate that
there are now in use in this country
10000 OF these Prest-o-Ldte tanks which
are recognized all over the country as the
best and most economical form Of light
as well the cleanest to handle and the
safest. The tank is filled with compressed
acetylene, dissolved in acetone and Is then
charged with gas. The tanks are filled to
a pressure Of 215 pounds. and the ordinary
size tanks will light two lamps for forty
hours.

automobile as an all-the-year-round vehicle
has been responsible for the pronotnced
variations in body design, and so str6ngly
have users favored the more recent styles
that in a year or two the entire appear
ance of the car may be changed.
The enclosed touring body, described
variously as the torpedo" "gunboat,"
or, by the conservative, as fully en-
closed" is the very latest. Heretofore, in
both open and covered cars, the effort at
protection Of occupants has been confined
TO the rear, or tonneau. seats. In front,
the driver and his companion have de-
pended for warmth in inclement weather
on robes or blankets, an unsatisfactory
barrier against cold, since the working Of
the foot levers makes 1t impossible TO keep
these coverings in place
Whatever the ultimate design, the object
OF the enclosed touring body is admirable
and the early type are credltabe. Apart
from the added comfort the innovation
adds greatly to the racy appearance OF a
car, so much desired by the average autor
mobilst, whether his machine is speedy
or not That the new type Of body will
appeal TO, producers of low-prlced cars is
considered improbable.
In Limousine bodies the height Of luxury
appeared to nave been attained some tiTk
ago, but there are Innovations even in these
for the trade of 1910. What they consist
of will be seen at the show. The changes
take the form of improvements in spring
ing, with slight alterations in the position
of seats and other inside fittings intended
to afford increased comfort

as badly today as it did eight or ten years
ago.
That the small car is going ahead very
fast is emphasized this winter in the great
number of popular priced vehicles of all
types placed on display. Brought out to
appeal to the man OF moderate means,
the success Of cars running in price from
$500 to $500 has been phenomenal in the
last two or three years They are being
produced by the tens of thousands and
find ready sale In all parts OF the country
Meanwhile the makers of the more ex-
pensive cars are enjoying greater prosperity
than ever before in the history of the
Industry. The demand at this time for
1910 cars has compelled nearly all manu-
facturers to arrange for production up to
the limit Of capacity for several months
1t is evident, therefore. that the users Of

The title of Gate City applies well TO
Omaha in the matter of automobiles, for
this has developed as the chief distributing
point of the entire west for cars OF all
descriptions. One OF the largest consign-
ments OF cars ever sent out from a fac
tory came to Omaha last year just before
the automobile show.

they are selling automobilAs. Many OF

Besides the Illuminating tanks the COM

which are Of great benefit to the automo-
bile owners. One of these is Porest-O-

put in cylinders to clean them out and
thus save the time and expense of tear
ing down the engine to scrape the cylin-
ders.
Another useful contrivance is small
tube, filled with carbonic acid gas, for
filling tires while on the road. These may
be connected with the tire valve and, by
turning of the thumb screw, the tire is in
flated.

plated and, although dynamite has been
placed under them, one has never exploded,

BOUNDlESS OPPORTUNITIES

In no state in the union are THE
possibilities of agriculture so unlimited
as they are in North Dakota, the state
containing over 20,000,OO0 acres, of
ground capable of production, and of
which only a little over one-half,,has as
yet been placed under cultivation. 1t
is to agricultural development that
North Dakota pins its faith in the fu-
ture, and to which it will always look
for an advancement. Even its deposits
of Ignite coal, so vast as to he almost
beyond comprehension. take second
place to the farm.
With such wonderful possibilities
lying before it North Dakota has good
reason fer ta6jng a deep interest in the
welfare Of It's farmers. for in their
hands rests tho realization of The move
that the state will reap the benefits
that may so easily bo ohtainedb 10y proper
development of the commemorative
richest natural resources, Everything
possible Is being done by The state to
bring in new settlers and now farmers:
to fill the ~untenauted lands in the west
with owners. and 10 protect those who
have already come here through the
operation of such Legislative enactments
as the free seed law and others.
Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor W. c. Gilbreath has just COM
pleted the compilation of the farm
statistics for the year of 1909. lie shows
that there wero i total of GO,172 farms
operated in the year, with a total acre
age under cultivation OF 12,3lS,447 acres,
or on average of 21Q,3S acres IN each
farm. Even this vast am9~ut OF land
under cultivation there still remains
o,44l.l2 acres of ground Wncultivated,
and which is suitable for farm purposes.
1t is to the settling up and cultivation
of this domain that the state is now
bending its energies most successfully.
The day Of the big farms in North
Dakota is rapidly drawing to a close,
;'nd in a few years will see almost their
complete disruption. Farms with their
thousands Of acres will have to be
broken up: more people will liveor them
and farming will be carried on in a more
intensive m With this problem
of intensifcation so certain of materiallz-
ing within the coming few years, it is
