But a motorcycle never hesitates in
an emergency-and impelled by beauty
in distress, young Garst threw a leg
over his saddle and started forth upon
as gallant mission as was ever
dreamed by knight as he buckled on
his armor
Over the roads he flew, his machine
never failing him for an instant. Or
and on he went, until by his own reck
oning he knew he must have gone as
far as Pratt. An investigation and in,
quiry showed him that he had travelled
thirteen miles farther. He turned
about and scurried beS.k to Pratt, arriv-
ing there at 6:l5. He had covered the
1l9 miles in three hours and one.quar.

which caused him to ride an extra

PACKARD TO KEEP
UP YEARLY MODELS
Public Is Accustomed to Classi-
flying Automobiles by Their

Following The announcements of 1872
cars by a number of motor car manufac-
turers. the question OF yearly models has
caused n lively discussion. In which max
ers. dealers and owners have displayed a
keen interest.
In outlining the attitude of the Packard
Motor Car company OF Detroit. Vice
President s. D. Waldon announces that
the present plan of producing new models
annually will be continued.
The public is the real judge in this
matter and It is accustomed TO classify
Ing automobiles by their season rather
than by technical changes in construc-
ton, said Mr.. Walden. The buyer Of

new car as the one with such and such a
feature. but as a 1912 car

must be accomplished by changes corr

advantage by being able to produce an
entire seasons output that is Identical in
construction and design. This policy also
meets the publlc's demand for new styles

"In advancing the date of our early an
nouncements the process has been grad

In bringing out new model each year
for twelve successive seasons we have
Tapped the calendar so to speak, by

advantages OF introducing new models at

In our belief that the best time Is mid
summer-say July, At that time OF the
year the weather has become settled and
the period s usually free from business
disturbances and other conditions which
might interfere with sales and deliveries.
In fact. we are so well convinced of the

MEXIco'S MILLION ACRE FARMS.

 There is one classic example of the value of breaking Up large es- tates. It is France.

A TARIFF PROBLEM.

The proposition of the house demo crats to tack on othe reciprocity treaty some measure of tari1 revis- ion has brought out comment t has its reason. Under the constitu. tn the president may adjourn con gress, in case of disagreement be tween the branches. to such a time as he shall think proper.
 Were the reciprocity agreement 70 be passed unincumbered by a rider. by the house. and then favorably act ed upon by the senate, 1t is asserted that tarif legislation enacted by the lower branch, reducing the present abnormaIly high duties. could be so fought in the senate as Jo give the president an opportunity to exercise a constitutional prerogative that has never yet been taken advantage of by an occupant of the executive chair. That he would Go so is not beyond ordinary possibility.
 The president is on record for and against lower tariF schedules. He first baked on the taxes on wool ems and cotton goods and then de clared the AIdrich Payne act, further raising dsties on these necessities,
 to be the best ever. He had not tue courage 10 veto the bill, as did
 Cleveland when the rigid observance
 of tarin reform vas involved He
 eontented himself with mild pro test in the beginning against the fail. ure of his party to carry out it's

expressed at the last elections. The cause of democracy would fin no wise be the sufferer.

The slip-shod method of passing appropriation bills by congress ought to be remedied. Under the prevail ing system all sorts of bills carry ing expenditures are sent from va rious committees who have not the advantage of knowledge of what re- lation exists between income and out go. measured by a proper under standing of the finances of the gov ernment. The system is wrong. All measures contemplating the output of public monies should be given over to one committee having full subject. A concentration of atten.
 ton on the relation between income and disbursement is roeessary in order to effect a wise economy in government finances. The appropri- ations committee of congress should have entire charge of bills involving the use of public funds. subject, of course. to deliberation upon its rec
 concentrations. as based upon the ncrutiny of department reports and estimates. This is subject which the democratic house win undoubtsd- information on this most important y grapple with in the next congress.
