Newspaper Demonstration of the Oldsmobile No. l
 Po,Uer dnd F1exibihty

The Demonstrator- -(raising the bonnet of the 4-cy inder Autocrat) This is where the power comes from T-head motor valves opposite sides; O. inch bore, 6-inch stroke.
 The Investigator-How big the inlet and exhaust piping is; what is the reason for that2 The Demonstrator-The quicker the fresh gas get in and the burnt gas out, the more smoothly and powerfully the engine runs. By means of these big manifolds and the 3-4inch diameter valves, the engine gets pure mixture quickly, clears ltseiI quickly, has better compression and does not car bonze. This feature together with the long stroke make this the most flexible motor for its power, and the most powerful motor for its hexlolhty' The Investigator-I'm not much on mechanics Ex- plain flexible or rather tell me just why should want to own this particular engine rather than some other9
 The Demonstrator- -Flexibity means a large range of speed without shifting gears, thus giving greater pleasure and safety in driving It also means lar less wear and tear the mechanism. Step Tn be- side the driver; will go out into thls tra11lc and you can see for yourself.
 (To the driver "Slow down and keep behind that wagon '') Notice that he does not touch the gear, lever yet creeping along less than five miles an hour. And you can't hear the engine-no strain or pounding.
 (To the driver ''Now get in ahead there. '') Watch us spurt ahead that illustrates 'fexibility. SThe reason we could change quickly from walk to a run on direct drive is because the long stroke mo- tor has power enough at low speed to keep up the impulse ''torque'' and the big valves and man. folds allow the gas to come and go without 'sstrangling'' when the throttle is opened quickly. (To the driver, 'FFnd clear road in the country and speed up little'' Now watch the speedo meter.
 When the speedometer hand reaches 5 the Inves- tigator cries Enough. ' We could go deal faster but just wanted you to see the smoothness with which the Oldsmobile at this speed The Investigator don t want a racing The Demonstrator-No but the power which pro- duces that speed splendid hill-climbing ability
 Furthermore it means safety; you will never be embarrassed getting out of tight place. Whether you have chauffeur drive yourself this fex- ibility this tremendous range of speed will really double your pleasure in
 You drive the Odsmobe yourself two hundred miles with less fatigue than you can drive the average car half that distance
 As matter of fact, you go rattlete-bang country in any car shifting gears at every incline buy there IS a difference between that and gliding along behind engine like this / In other words the engine of the Autocrat is luxu rious as we'll the springs and upholstery What ever the Oldsmobe does, it does quietly and eff ciently with least trouble to itself to the driver

TWO VINITA BANKS
WILL CONSOLIDATE
Meeting Of Stockholders Of the Cher
okee National Bank Called to De-
eide on Liquidation.

The consolidation of two of Vinita 5
banking institutions is to be the big
gest business deal in Vinita this week,
when the Cherokee National and In
ternational Bank & Trust company
become one institution
The Cherokee National bank has
called a meeting of the stockholders
at which it probably will be decided
to liquidate the Cherokee National and
consolidate with the international. II
the stockholders decide to take this
step, the two banks will operate as
one, in the near future, and will make
one of the strongest institutions in
this part of the state
Many other towns are reducing the
number of banks, in this manner and
are having fewer and stronger ones
This consolidation will add material
strength to the business interests OF
Vinita, and the customers of these
banks, as we'll as the public will be
greatly pleased with the change

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug IA
Cattle prices spread out more last
week than any week before this sum
mer. the best cattle selling strong to
25 higher. middle and lower grades
Is to 30 lower. Some Of the thin light
weight quarantine cattle were punish
ed even more severely, buyers seizing
one Of the few opportunities that have
come to them this summer TO bear
down prices. Nobody believes the de
preston will stick. because everybody
thinks cattle supplies this fall are go
ing to be slim all around. AT Chicago
last week 5000 range cattle from the
northwest arrived, while a year ago
the same week 5000 came in. and two
years ago $1,000 were received. To
day there is a turn for the better here,
market strong to 10 higher on all kinds
the rise extending to the lower grades
which were hammered last week The
run here Is $4,000 head. including 100
car olads Of quarantine cattle, A
string of 26 cars of Texas steers sold
here today at $3.50, and fair to good
Oklahoma steers brought S475 to
$3.50, a few down to S400 Dry lot
steers are accumulating value rapidly
top natives here today at S755, best
heifers quotable up to $725 These
are alluring prices to feeders who are
taking out desirable feeding steers at
$500 to $3.50. Improving crop pros
poets encourage the buying of stock
steers. which sell at 1915 to 1925
Grass steers from native territory
reached $675 today, bulk at $525 tC
$685.. A shipment of Wyoming grass
cattle is here today, embracing horned
beef steers, 1860 to 1900 lbs, at $50
to $40, grass COWS at $425 to Sass
and few grass yearlings. $50 lbs, a
the big price of $625. Calves remain
steady, best $500.
The smallest hog supply of the yea
came in last week, yet buyers had tn
temerity to try to depress prices. NJ
body expected such a spectacular ris
as has been witnessed in the hog ma
ket in the last month, and it don't sc
we'll with the packers. The big figh
they put up last week prevented an
advance, and it even paved the wa
for a decline, which went into effec
today, to 10 cents. The run toda
is only 1000 here, top $3.50, bulk $7.3
to $745. The cause of the scarcity O
hogs now is said to be because to-
many light hogs were shipped to maj
ket in May and June.
Sheep and lambs took on new life tn
middle of last week, and the close o
the week showed a gain of 25 to a
cents. Run is 10000 today, marke
strong. The first decent Utah lamb
of the season arrived late last weel
and sold at $7.15 to $7.25. Easter
Colorado alfalfa fed lambs, 63 lbs
sold at $7.15 today, and ewes in tn
same shipment brought 1885. Arizon
lambs bring up to $500, natives abou
the same price There is a CROWN
demand for feeding and breedin
stock, and some feeding wethers hav
changed hands at $685., breeding eve
up to 1885 in the last week.
