rebels, and after w~ithstanding the
hardships Of a flight from Mexico.
MI. Farr has lived in Mexico many
years and was q prosperous rancher
when the rebellion broke out. His
place was raided at intervals by both
rebels and federals, and he was COM
PEELED to e nearly everything he
possessed stolen before his eyes, in
Jected h lives Of all would have been
the forfeit.

Tor their lives, and officials OF the Mex
can government gave them $25 In
cash and a railroad ticket, and they
Were placed in a wagon and started on
the long journey overland to the Texas
boundary. rt." H.-.

drove for an entire day over a battle
held where the federals and rebels had
Fought the day before, and saw the
rebels burying their dead, while the
rederals were pouring oil over the
bodies OF their dead and burning them.
During their overland journey they
had a number Of narrow escapes from
FALLING into the hands Of bands Of
bandits who roam at will over the war
stricken country. The journey was a
very hard one, especially on the wo-
men of the party. and all were nearly
exhausted when they reached safety on
the American side Of the line. There
they lost no time in taking a train for
their former homes In South Dakota.

BUYING OF REsUIrs.

The true value of motor cor to- day is in exact ratio to the service it gives.
 Pleasure comes only from absolute confidence in your automobile at all times; in being free from annoyances and unconscious that there is roperat- ing mechanism inside the car.
 A car is good only when taken as a, whole car in action. No matter how attractive single mechanical feat ure may appear, it's worth is only relative to every other mechanical part that composes the entire car And features that may be successful on one car may not be best on an other.
 ssThe best car is the one that has all its mechanical parts designed and built so perfectly that they operate as a whole car so successfully that you can forget them entirely.
 Seldom if ever, when you look at your watch to see the time do your thoughts go farther than the dial? If the watch is a reliable one. of we'll known quality, there is no need for you to think about the operating mechanism behind the dial. All you care about is the accurate reliable time told by the dial This faithful time is the result of perfect mechan- ism inside the case.

heat, which causes the engine to run less efficiently.
 Suppose we go back of the building of the carburetor and consider tn ose
 essentials necessary to carburetor that will most successfully aid the eff
 f1cient workings of an otherwise per fectly built motor car. It is one thing
 to build a carburetor and another
 thing to build a carburetor that will conditions. The qualifications of a good carbu- retor are easier in starting, getaway, speed, power, ability to throttle down, wide hexibi1ity of operation under all weather conditions, freedom from trouble, and, most of all, economy. Probably the most widely t1iscusse,; carbur retor requisite is economy, but economy with sacrifice of efficiency

HEART OF THE CAR.

A carburetor isea mixing pot, not regulator. The carburetor holds one of the most important places on the motor car. In fact, it is the basis of motor car goodness. If every other specification were to be of the highest quality and 8 poor carburetor used, ] results from the other high-grade spe- eihcations would also be poor. The l carburetor has as it's chief function
 the mixing of air and gasoline; raw gasoline cannot be fired with a spark. Gasoline will burn, but not explode. When the gasoline enters the carbu- retor it is mixed with air, which also enters the carburetor from either an l automatic or a mechanical air valve. 1 This mixture is then forced through the manifolds into the cylinder.
 l There are very good carburetors l made, but no carburetor has ever l been constructed that will control the air at all speeds of your car. There fore, it is plain to see that in some I of the varying conditions which you will meet in one hours driving the | mixture cannot be exactly of the right 1 consistency to give the greatest pow 1 CT. The carburetor manufacturer | connects the throttle with the gasoline | supply, the air supply being constant
 so far as adjustment is concerned. and only changing when the speed or suc- ton of the motor increases.
 | When the carburetor is opened, or, in other words, when the throttle is l pressed down, more gasoline is ad nitted through the mixing pot, while
 the same amount of air is admitted
 until such time as the increased ac- tion of the. motor will open the auto
 matic or mechanical air valve. It is
 easily seen, therefore, that when this
 rich mixture enters the cylinder the
 force of the explosion is greatly re.
 duced because of it's approach toward
 the flame point, and in addition the
 l explosion carries with it additiona-

GOING UP STAIRS.

An English moforist, MT. Gordon Bennett, of the Central Motor Garage, St.asHe1ier, Island of Jersey, recently put his 20 horsepower Ford, Model ."T.s' through a spectacular stunt for the benefit of his fellow townsnen.- It seems that a good deal of discussion had taken place relative to the cars ability to climb the long flight of steps going up Snow Hill. In consequence arrangements were made to try the car on this task soon after daybreak ons4a recent Sunday morning.
 With only a few yards start, MT. Bennett covered the stairs as far as the first landing. Then with greater confidence the remaining portions of the Journey were accomplished, stop ping only twice, where the acute an- gles made assistance necessary in turning the car.
