Opposition Grows to
Incorporation Plan

A resolution opposing the incorpo-
ration Of the village of Brentwood was
pissed unanimously at mass meeting
last night. An election will be held
April 20 to determine the sentiment
of the people toward incorporation. The
result of the mass meeting is thought
to determine the result of the election
in advance.
c. r. Myers, chairma9 of the Brent
wood Civic League, called the meeting
lie and his associates favored incor-
poration and had 2ampaigned for It.
The meeting resulted in their entire
defeat. however. a new set of officers
heinE elected and the policy of the
meeting reversing the attitude taken
hv cid officers. Benjamin Hoffman
succeeded c. r. Myers as president,
and Nj. B. Mcintosh takes the place of
r. H. Roberts as Sc cretary.
After the new officers were elected
the advocates of incorporation were
given half an hour in which to defend
their position. Special stress was laid
by them on the advantages accruing to
the Incorporated town with respect to
the road fund. Their opponents OFFER
ed to subscribe several times this fund
and the argument in defense of incor-
poration made no impression on the
majority of the auditors.
In the campaign for Incorporation the
advocates of II had asserted that Mt.
Rainier would annex Brightwood un-
lees the latter village retained its iden-
tity through Incorporation, II was
stated at the meeting last night that Mt.
Rainier citizens had denied there was
any intention Of such action.

thin FOLKS MADE FAT
The Way Samose Works Its Wonders
Guaranteed by Jas. O'Donnell.

More than half the readers OF The
Times would give almost anything to be
plump and rosy instead of thin and
scrawny.
Physicians and chemists for years
have studied the problem of making u
fiesh-forIning food, hut II Is only within
the last few months that a bright man
discovered the prescription that, taken
with the daily meals, gives a positive
increase in flesh. In fact, II was so
certain in its action that a guarantee
was attached to each package stating
that II weight did not Increase as re-
suit of using it, the purchase price
would be refunded.
This preparation is now put up In
convenient form for use under the name
of Samose.
Jas. O'Donnell has secured the agency
in Washington for Samose, and as the
percentage of satisfactory results from
the use of this prescription Is so nearly
one hundred per cent, he feels there Is
no risk in offering to refund the money
Il Samose does not do all that is claimed
for II.
Everybody that is thin and out OF
health should begin today the use OF
Samose with a guarantee like this. Sent

Question of Color
A Motor Car Problem

Since the earliest days the question of
color has been u problem for automobile
manufacturers. The motor car, as n
manufacturing industry in this country,
is now about ten years old. During
that time motor cars have been painted
every conceivable color and these colors
have been put in every conceivable
combination. In the early days cars
were painted entirely black, but as time
went by this was rather too sober for
the public generally, and therefore,
numerous colors were employed.
About 1903 a great many cars were
produced painted entirely red. This
proved to be rather too noisy for the
majority of buyers and then blue. yell
low, gray, brown. and numerous other
colors were tried, all of which have
been found less durable than red or
black. Today the public generally has
come to consider an automobile as in
it's natural garb when 1t has at least a
portion of its surface covered with red.
The public has ceased to consider red
loud color on an automobile. Rcd
and black are vastly superior to any
other color which could be used, not
only in the satisfaction given to the
owner after the car has been purchased,
but they are also much easier colors to
handle in the paint shop and first class
jobs can be turned out and with less
labor expense, although red as a color
costs more than any other.

Commissioners Report
Adversely on Measure

The Commissioners made a report
yesterday to the Senate District Commit
tee on the Kenyon bill to abate dis
orderly houses by making those who
own the buildings guilty of a nuis-
ance. The Commissioners make an
adverse report on the bill.
The substance of the objection of
the Commissioners is that the enact
this legislation would merely result
in scattering the population of these
establishments. The commissioners
insist that conditions in Washing
ton in respect to such matters are
growing better and say that several
clcrgymen, as well as others who
have investigated, have so reported
The Commissioners say they are not
prepared to submit any solution of
the question involved in the Kenyon
bill.

After tucking away to its credit at
Montgomery. Ala, the first sanctioned
track race of the season, the Flanders
'20'' romped off with the years opening
hill climb. This took place at La
fayette, Ind, over the famous Robinson
street hill-ninetenths of q mile long,
with steep grade and two bad turns.
The Flanders won in its own class, go-
ing up the hill in 13iB. 1t also won in
the class open to cars of less than
230 cubic inches piston displacement and
finished third in the free-for-all event.
The entire card of five races was swept
by Bob Kramer with his Flanders and
a car of another make. Kramer is one
of the best known amateur drivers in
Indiana.
With the installation of scores of
piece of new automatic machinery, the
practical completion of the new 3O0xi0O

rearrangement of departments and the
employment of additional help, all COM
bined to create greater efficiency, the
Willys-Overland Company, of Toledo,
Ohio, is making frantic effort to keep
abreast with it's orders.
This will be the greatest year our
organization has experienced, says
President John N. WHY'S. maker of
Overland motor cars. 1--WE have planned
production for 1912 of 25,000 cars, and
with our increased facilities, ] can see
no reason why this number of Over
lands VIII not be made. We have al
ready built and shipped 5000 machines.
We touched the high-water mark last
week, when we shipped nearly 800 cars.
With our enlarged factories we are now
In a position to build about 1900 cars a
month, and this will be our production
for the next two or three months

$50 600 toward the construction of the
course for the VANDERBILT cup race this
year, providing the promoters will locate

chCn company, at Racine, Wis., few

COAL CONSUMERS WORRIED.
Failure Of Miners to Ratify Agreement
Causes Fear Of Continued Shortage.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. May 20.-Large consum-
ers Of coal have been doing lot OF
scurrying around the past twenty-four
hours to arrange for a supply Of coal
for another two or three weeks. Many
Of them had heen deceived by story
put into circulation that an agreement
had been reached to reopen the Iowa
coal mines today But when the con-
vention on Saturday definitely rejected
the wage scale offered by the Joint com
mittee the manufacturers and those
,-sing much coal realized for the first
time the danger Of a temporary coal
famine. A. the state house the boilers
were closed down Saturday noon IN
order 70 save coal as the state had
been borrowing from the electric light
company All the stocks Of coal are
practically exhausted.
There are said to be only matters or
secondary inheritance standing In the
wav Of ratification OF the wage agree
ment made The miners will be asked
to determine 1t quickly by referendum

stoekers and Feeders.

Chicago May 20.-OwnerS OF thin
] steers showed their hand last week
after the terrible drubbing given prices
the previous week. They sent the
smallest supplies here in many months
and little better demand than the
previous week was all that was needed
to boost values back whole lot from
levels shown a week ago. At the finish
advances Of $500 cents were shown.
the good grades being up most, tho
bulk of medium steers. as well as plain
stockers, were at least 25630. cents
higher. The yards are now practically
clear of feeder and stock steers and a
light run this week, meeting any sort
of decent demand, would seem likely,
traders say, OF making still higher
rates, altho feeder stuff cost is again
mounting to a dangerously high level
and one which the buyers may refuse
to go against. The rush of corn plant
ing is doubtless keeping many out of
the deal now and in the east. especial
ly. there is little buying, tho grass
conditions are generally good Many
who have good pastures are in
mood to dodge the high cost Of young
cattle rather and allow the grass grow
a few weeks more in hopes that stuff
will cheaper up a little.
The lower grade light steers are still
largely 25 cents off from high point. and
in some cases show even a little more
decline. tho most of the right good to
choice quality 800 to 900 pound and
heavier steers are back close up to top
levels shown two weeks ago. A feeder
paid $500 for drove Of choice steers
last week and another load was taken
at s6.s5, these going to the Illinois ex-
pertinent station. Some other right
good steers sold at s6.3566.5o. tho a
comparatively short quota OF stuff
landed upward Of 1925 for reason that
killers. in filling their urgent demand
for beef steers. cut into the feeder crop
and paid better prices for lot Of this
stuff than the feeder men could afford
TO give. Steers have been bought by
feeder men at 37.0067.25 and even
higher but they were taken on specu-
lation and went back for slaughter.
Thus these sales had no connection
with the feeder trade.

Chicago. May 20.-There was an eX-
IRENE scarcity Of buying orders in the
wheat pit today and the market turned
very weak. Free selling resulted from
the influence of large worlds shipments
and because of a French official report
showing winter wheat acreage larger
than last year with a condition mater
ialy improved. Warmer temperatures
in the United States tended also in
favor Of the bear side. The opening
was k@A lower. July started at

the bulls. July opened unchanged to IS
