chassis at all times. They delivered
tabloid three-minute lectures, which
constituted a liberal education on auto
mobiles. One of the interesting points
with which they dealt was relative to
a 10000 mile road test that commenc-
ed a year previous to the public an
nouncement of this special car. The
test was carried over the worst roads
of ten states, the Allegheny mountains
and Southern Canada. 1t was made
at train speed at all times. 1t extend
ed through the gumbo of Missouri, the
sand of Michigan, the mud of Illinois
and the worst road conditions to be
found. The Allegheny mountains
proved an ideal testing ground, accord
ing to the lecturers, for it gave the
opportunity to demonstrate the cars
power and endurance.
In another part of the lecture, the
fact was told that following the on
clusion of the 10000 mile test-which
is the equivalent of 1000 miles in the
hands of the average owner or four
years use-it was not necessary to
make a single basic change from the
design originally decided Upon by the
engineers. The lecturers explained the
sel6cranking system, which, when see
beneath its glass case, was so easily
understandable that most people won
der why it was not thought of before.
Inasmuch as it eliminates the posi-
bility of cranking from the front of the
car, it is an important engineering ad-
vancement, combining all movements in
the operating of the Hudson to the
drivers seat. You will want to know
further facts about such an automobile.
Let the Fridley Automobile Co. cite to
you other points that make the beauti-
full 1913 Hudsons safe as an invest
ment.

through the senate in the same man
duced the very excellent measure.
The big Appropriation bill now being
out of the way safely, being passed
with some amendments to the original
committee bill as introduced, the legis-
lature will find it's calendar nearly
clear by the end of the session, and
can adjourn Friday without stopping
the clocks as is often done, to prolong
the last day.
Senator Mather's bill to repeal the
Richards primary or rather have a
new n in place of it was lost so the
Richards matter still lives. The gov
ernor has asked that committee be ap-
pointed to continue the work of in
vestigating all state departments, as
they all wish now to be given a clean
bill of health in beginning the years
work, after having suspicion cast upon
each and all by recent statements
made, and the legislature will likely
appropriate sufficient funds to pay
expense of such committee until July
1st, so the population of the state may
know exactly how the state officers
and departments stand in detail.
Investigation of the Insurance
charges against insurance lobbyists
have been made, but nothing criminal
has been found in the proceedings up
to date. Next weeks issue of this
paper will print a full resume of all Of
the acts passed by the legislature of

Other legislative News

A climax was reached Thursday
afternoon in the case of Land Commits
sioner H. c. Brinker, who has been
under investigation by a legislative
committee, accused of misappropriat-
ing the funds of his office.
About 4:3O o'clock Mr.. Brinker pres
ented his resignation to Gov. Byrne
and refunded $535.S5 to the state treas
ury, the amount he is charged with
having secured through manipulation
of travel vouchers, and which he says
he never received any benefit from.
About one hour later Mr.. Brinker
went to the office of Police Justice
Slinde, where an arrest warrant on
the charge of securing money under
false pretenses was served on him.
He waived examination and was placed
under bonds of $4,000 for his appear
ance at the May term of the circuit
court of that county. The bond was
given by his wife and A. G. Brink, and
he was at one released from custody.
Briefly the situation which opened
up the case was the accidental dis
cover of a voucher for travel ex
penses on the part of a nan who was
looking for something else on other
matters, and which he knew personally
to be wrong. He took the matter to
Attorney General Johnson, who start
ed an investigation and dug up the
different vouchers and the man whose
name was signed to the vouchers, G..
Louis Gravel. The true situation then
came to the surface. The whole matter
was laid before the investigating COM
mittee, which was already at work,
and they succeeded in making a case
against Brinker.
While there are many other allega-
tons Of irregularities in the depart
ment, nothing has yet developed out
side the line opened up. The commit
tee will continue it's work and Gov.
Byrne recommended to the legislature
that an appropriation be provided to
keep the committee in session after
the adjournment of the legislature to
continue it's work as to that and other
departments.
The new state tax commission organ
lied by the selection of c. NJ. Henry
as president. The selection Of a secre-
tary has been POSTPONED to a future
meeting.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR AS A SELL
ING AGENT

We repeat that advertising in coun-
try newspapers, properly utilized, is
the most valuable advertising in the
world for it's cost. We urge advertis-
ers to take advantage of the oppor'un-
tiles offered by the country news
papers. We add, incidentally, that We
don't W and never expect to own n
country newspaper or to have an inter
est in a country newspaper.
A country editor with five hundred
circulation or more for his daily or
weekly can talk to five hundred good,
typical American families, all pur-
chasers, all desirable customers.
Every publisher of a country news
paper should be, through his advertisr
ing columns, the trusted and valued
agent and promoter of ct least ten
great industrial merchandising con-
Germs.
The country publisher alone is able
through his columns to sell everything.
His readers buy everything that is for
sale-from nails to pianos, from pills
TO automobiles. They buy paint and
roofing and stoves and lamps-hun-
dreds of commodities that the city
dweller v buys.
There is not a community in the
United States in any one of which ten
or ever fifty great American mer-
chants and manufacturers would not
gladly hire at high pay a competent
earnest representative able to talk
every day to five hundred or more
families.
And every business-like hard, work.
ing country publisher is such an agent,
able every day to reach the consumers
that nobody else can reach.
The coun' ry newspaper is the best
of all advertising mediums.
Little by little advertisers will come
to learn the value of the country news
paper, and very rapidly, let us hope,
the country editors will come to learn
the value of that which they have for
sale and will demand and get their
share of the national prosperity, act
ing as national industrial and CONNER
cial representatives, and not merely
as the local mouthpieces Of local mer-
chants barely able to support them
selves.-New York Evening Journal.

kota becoming a state, he was elected
to the Office of commissioner of schools
and public lands. He was then ap'
pointed supervisor in the Indian ser
vice, in which capacity he had the
territory of North and South Dakota,
Montana and Idaho. During his in
cumbency of this Office, Montana's
climate and free land appealed to him
and in 1899 he located a homestead at
Millegan, where he made his home
until death called him.
His wife passed to the Great Be-
yond in 1906, and he is survived by a
son, E. l.. Parker, of Millegan, and
three daughters, Mrs. /. d. Spooner
and Mrs. E. l.. Moore, Of Bookings,
S. d., and Miss Florence Parker of
Rowlands, California.
The remains were brought to this
city on Thursday evening last and the
funeral services were held on Satur-
day afternoon, Rev. Edgar ]. Huston
and w. w. Van Orsdel conducting the
last sad rites. Interment was made in
the Chestnut Valley cemetery. F. N.
Askew, A. B. Palmer, Perry Butler and

E. l.. Parker, Sol of the deceased,

young farmers of this vicinity and his
many friends join with the Courier in
extending their heartfelt sympathy.

AUTOMOBILES RUN ON SELF
STARTER AT SHOWS

Probably the most unique feature at
the nations automobile shows was the
new graphic method of illustrating the
1000 efficiency of an electric self
cranking system at one of the exhibits.
Hour after hour throughout the day
and evening, the s~elf-cranking system
on the ivory white chassis, which was
the main feature of Hudson exhibits,
kept operating the a
Underneath plate glass covers, the
fascinating action of the device was
easily studied, for electric lights were
thrown upon the revolving mechanism.
This event was intensely interesting
to the thousands who saw it. An ordi-
nary storage battery, such as is used
on the car, was connected up with the
self-cranking system and the small
electric motor, it's gears meshing with
the fly wheel, turned over the motor,
driving the clutch and revolving the
transmission.
This was a remarkable educational
feature in that the speed at which the
selfcranking system operated was
carefully geared down so hat the
northumberland its plate glass
covers evolved slowly, thus allowing
visitors to see from the outside the in
terror workings Of an automobile in
action. There was, of course, no gaso-
line in the motor, nor oil. The cars
gear was Gin neutral and the self.
cranking system turned over" the
mechanism of the car to the e%dification
of the passing thousands.
The effect that the self-cranking sys.
tenn, which vas born a year ago, has
reached the state Of perfection where
it operates the entire mechanism of
the a for hours, seemed to have an
intense fascination for visiting motor
lists. 1t keeps crowds surging around
the Hudson Exhibit throughout the
afternoons and evenings.
Two lecturers, with endurance rival.
ing the ~selfcranking system of the
car, were in attendance within the
brass railing surrounding the white
