number Of instances of it. One notable
one 1 can recall just now, and 1 am going
to tell you about it, At one time a party
OF three OF US were hunting In the Piute
mountains in California. One day a ranch
man came to our camp and told US that
big cinnamon bear was making regular
raids upon his sheep pasture and unless
some one got her scalp she would eat him
out OF house and home. He said he had
hunted for her several times and each
time the hunt was a failure. We told
him we would get her scalp. but we were
none too sanguine about It; we only
wanted to encourage him.
Next morning. having received minute
directions as to the probable locality of
the old girl. we started out, vowing that

being rear guard. We reached one OF

the signal to slow up. An instant later he
beckoned us to come on. and when we

many farmers testify Of a big gang or
men in the field, in an emergency. 1t
pays for itself in real service by the END
OF the year or two.
And then comes the extra measure Of
value it gives, in the pleasure sense
Writer after writer has told Of the dreari-
ness of farm life-the loneliness, ofttimes
leading to insanity. 1t is we'll known that
the greatest percentage OF insanity is
among farm women. The horses are
needed in the fields every day of good
weather, and on Sunday they need rest.
The farm wife and family therefore are
practically prisoners for q large part oil
the year. They are at the mercy OF dis
tapce. Such condition cramps them,
stunts them and drives the children to the
cities in search Of more life and compan-
ionship. It has been the sad cry Of the
farm and the village for fifteen years that
it's best young men were going to the
cities-that they refl sed to stay on the
farm because Of lack OF pleasure as well
as lack of opportunity.
Nowadays there is no more cry about
lack Of opportunity on the farm. Sixteen
automobile makers are advertising autos
to the farmer in the $50 farm papers Of
the country, and most Of them are arguing
that the automobile will keep the boy on
the farm and make life more livable for
the wife whose dreary round Of labor has
been the pity of the country.
Now the farmer with an auto can take
his family for an evening call, or lecture,
without using his horses. He can 80 to
church on Sunday more regularly; he can
visit distant relatives and friends more
frequently; he can go to town oftener and
more quickly One Dakota farmer who Is
extremely fond Of hunting, but lives forty
miles from the game district takes his son
with him on Saturday during the season
and comes back Sunday night with a deer
or two slung across the radiator, and bub-
bling over with tales OF his trip.
There are $500, 900 people living on farms
and in towns OF less than 1000 in this coun-
try. This means that over half Of our
population is practically in the country.
About 100000 OF these are young people,
and they are just as keen for pleasure as
Young people anywhere else. That is one
big reason for the automobile on the farm.
Ten or fifteen years ago farmers bought
organs for their daughters and buggies
for their sons. A great many of them are
today buying autos for the whole family
An entirely new meaning has been given
TO the village social life in consequence.
In fact, the farmers themselves are the
best champions Of the auto - Leslie's

Strenuous Trip Ahead.
That the pathfinding trip for the 1910
Glidden tour will be more strenuous than
that Of any earlier tour is the belief OF
the American Automobile association
experts. In April the roads OF Ken

seas of mud. and at all times the noun

feared gumbo and adobe prevail 1t has
been predicted by Texas motorists that it
will be impossible for an automobile to
traverse this territory during the wet sea-
son in the early spring.
That the pathfindinE task has been
awarded to a Chalmers ''Bluebird" by the
contest board Of the American Automo-
bile association is a signal honor to the
Detroit-mads car. The pathfinding trip
was desired by q number of the leading
manufacturers Of the country, but Chair
man Butler and the contest board showed
their absolute faith in the dependability OF
the Chalmers by awarding the trip to the
''Bluebird."

NO EXCUSE FOR SMOKE NUISANCE
Careless Drivers and Faulty Engines
Are Responsible for Trouble.

Careless Drivers and Faulty Engines
Are Responsible for Trouble.
George J. Dunham, president OF the
Royal Tourist Car company, is outspoken
in his condemnation of the smoke nuisance
in connection with the running Of auto
mobiles.
He attributes It to the carelessness of the
drivers, as well as to the faulty motor con-
struction, and suggests that the Associa-
ton Of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers
should WELD its influence in mitigating
the evil before drastic legislative action is
taken.
"All the streets Of our big cities" he
said yesterday, ARE reeking with foul ex-
haust smoke odors as a result OF careless
ness and ignorance on the part Of many
drivers OF automobiles on the one hand
and faulty designed motor construction on
the other. There Is little, II any, excuse
for this smoke nuisance-the garage is the
place TO burn in new bearings, and for
general cleaning purposes-and the public
should not be made to suffer on this ac-
count
Excessive fabrication is practically the
seat Of the evil, but poorly fitted piston
rings, too much reliance upon the old
style Of splash feed olhng devices and
faulty systems Of fabrication cOntrbute
materially TO the evil.
1T Is an evil apparent ON all sides, and
the sooner it Is corrected the better It will
be for the motor car industry as whole. y

was the longest in the history OF the GID
