THE NEW CADILLAC
HAS TWO FEATURES
Eliminates TWO Great lnconveniences-
Seif-starting and Electric
Lighting.

In equipping it's 1912 cars with an
electrical generating system, which
starts and ignites the motor and sup
plies current for the electric lamps,
the Cadillac Motor Car Co., has elm
mated the two great inconvenience
of motoring-the first, cranking the
engine; the other, alighting from the
car when darkness falls, no matter
what the condition of the road or
weather, to light the lamps.
Doubtless one of the reasons that
the operation of gasoline cars has
been almost entirely restricted to
men, is that it is usually mans
work to crank motor by hand. Not
only experience, but the exertion of
much strength is required to over
come the compression and turn over"
the engine.
The other inconvenience is almost
as serious, and most discouraging
when rain is falling or the wind blow
ing with such force that it is almost
impossible to preserve a match flame
long enough to light an ordinary
lamp.
Both are obviated entirely in the
new seasons Cadillac. A woman car

PLAYING HAVOC
WITH FARMERS
Mississippi Spreads Out Fifteen Miles
Over Farm Lands Opposite
Quincy.

QUINCY, ILL.,, April 6.-Continued
reports of devastations by the Mis-
sissippi river on the Missouri side,
opposite this city, continue to reach
here. The river at this point is twelve
to fifteen miles wide and is expected
to spread over wider area. Farm
lands up and down the river on the
Missouri shore are inundated and the
financial loss will be heavy. The ferry
boat has been kept busy within the
past few days moving water-bound
farmers and their stock, to higher
points. Enough water covers the
farm lands opposite here to permit
the ferry to go from one farm house
to another in some portions.
