the worm cure, warranted to kill a

M. o. Nicholson informed the

Reierson and George Thinglum had
the auto fever and we're going to buy
80 horse power racers in order to
travel faster than any train In this
country. The boys we're in a race
with a train recently with a hired car
and they were only able to get IS
miles an hour out of it. 1t answered
their purpose at that time but they
may have to compete with a As mile
flyer and don't propose to take dust
from anything on wheels. That's the
Lincoln county spirit and it's the
spirit that has made Grand Valley
famous. Mr.. Nicholson says he is not
going to buy until he sees Refers
new racer.
