Caught a Silver Fox

Red Mountain Ole, bibulously in
clined son of Sweden, who is a pros
pector by occupation and has made
Leavenworth his base of operations for
ten or more years, came into town the
first of this week with a silver fox that
he caught week ago in the region
that gave him the largest part Of his
name. Not being an expert in the
line of foxes we call his catch a silver
fox because those who do profess to
knowledge on this score pronounce it
genuine. Now a silver fox pelt is
worth from 5000 to 81 900, and even
more. Ole says he set his trap for a
whistling pig and caught the valuable
furbearing animal. 1t was only slight
ly injured by the trap on one of its
front feet. Being alive should make
it even more valuable to some OF those
people who make fox breeding a busi-
ness.

Saxon Coast to Coast Car
Reaches Western Iowa

The following dispatch just received
from Boone, Iowa, is the latest word
from the coaSt-to-coast Saxon car
which is christening the Lincoln High
way:
Saxon Lincoln Highway car ar
rived in Boone from Cedar Rapids.
Distance 143 miles. Weather and
In reaching this stage of it's trip
from New York to San Francisco, this
car has covered 1892 miles over the
Lincoln way in eleven days of run
ming time. The machine has averaged
better than III miles day, and is
making close to 80 miles on a gallon
of gasoline.
Two days of almost continuous rain
in western Illinois and Eastern Iowa
did not interfere with the progress of
the transcontinental car which has
been on schedule at every checking-in
point. According to NJ. A. Croker and
Fred wilkins, who are in charge, no
time has been lost because of repairs.
big reception awaited the eXpe-
dition at Chicago Heights, ILL.,, an es-
cort party going out from Chicago to
meet the car and crew. AT this point
the transcontinental Saxon was driven
to Chicago, over what later will be
branch route of the Lincoln Highway.
After an ovation in Chicago, the ma
chine went back on the Lincoln way
and resumed it's course westward.
Demonstrations by consuls of the
Lincoln Highway Association have
been given along the route for this car,
the lowest-priced real automobile to
attempt journey from ocean to ocean
and the first machine of any size to
make continuous trip over the Lin
coin HIGHWAY route.

ST. LOUIS GETS f. A. NJ. MEET

st. Louis, Mo-, has landed the 1914
national convention of the Federation
of American Motorcyclists, which is
to be held July 1918. Committees on
touring. finance and entertainment
have been appointed and arrangements
for the big meet will be pushed rap
idly forward
One of the leading tours which will
this year be made to the convention
city will be an endurance run of old
time riders, which will start from Chi
cago. This tour will be made up of
men who took an active part in the
runs in the early days of the organ
ization and many of whom are now
heads of motorcycle concerns. No one
who has ridden in convention tours
since 1910 will be permitted to take
part in this veterans run.
A number of other tours will also
be organized, starting from different
parts of the country and centering in
St Louis One of the longest of these
Is the run being planned by the San
Francisco Motorcycle Club to attend
the national assembly.
Definite plans for the entertainment
of the delegates to the meet have not
yet been completed, but st. Louis has
one of the most active motorcycle
clubs in the country. and all riders
who gather there for the 1914 meet
are assured a rousing good time. A
number Of F. A. M. motorcycle cham
pionships will be run on the excellent
dirt track at the Missouri capital.

The sun still is shining brightly

PRESIDENT George NJ. Hendee Cf the

response to an inquiry as to condi-
tions in the motorcycle industry
so far as we are concerned tbere

nurrles which may prevail in other
lines. Al o'iier
Since the beginning of our 1914
year. our puslnt up to May / has
been well ahead e. the volume written
curing the corresponding period of
1913. despite the fact that general CON
ditions last year were much more set

throughout the country. We, there
tore, have exceeded our best previous
year for the period mentioned.
ME we are not employing as
large force as we did a year ago,
II is due to very. legitimate reason,
which never before existed. At the
beginning of this season we started
manufacturing our 1914 models three
months earlier than ever before. which
naturally permitted us to accumulate
a large stock of all models in anticipa-
t1on OF the annual Spring rush.
ALREADY this Spring demand has
peen so heavy as to almost deplete
our stock and we have been compelled
TO put on more men in our assembling

settled weather. we fully anticipate
being compelled to run to full capacity

How to Get Home on
a Blowout Casing

"A car can always be driven home
on blown-out casing, if an extra
tube is carried, and on a punctured
casing, even if no extra tube is in the
car, If the driver knows the trick"
says the Jackson representative.
suppose the shoe has been blown
out, and there is an extra tube aboard.
but no blowout patch or shoe is in the
kit. Burlap can be secured without
much trouble. Initiate the tube par
TALLY, wrap the burlap = cut into
it fairly tight, and
mount the tube and casing in the
usual way. Burlap is tough and hard
to cut and it usually will get you
home.
But if you happen to be caught
without an extra tube and you get a
Duncture or blowout, you don't have
to go home on fiat casing and rim
cut it. Take the casing off and pack
1t full of rags, newspapers, hay, straw,
beans, oats-anything you can get that
will answer the purpose. The idea, of
course, is to get something into the
casing that will substitute for air and
hold the casing in fairly good shape
until you can get to a repair shop or
a supply station. 1 think it pays to
know things like this, because they
not only save man money, but lot
of trouble on the road"

OVERLAND SIX WILL
SOON Be ON MARKET
Wheelbase l25 Inches; $3.50
Horsepower; Steamline Body;
Will Sell at $1,475

An announcement of more than
usual interest to the general automo-
bile trade and the public, but more
particularly to the many dealers who
handle Overland cars, has just come
from ]. N. Willys, president Of the
Willys- Overland Company.
So quietly that even the intimates
have had no inkling of Mr.. WHY'S
plans. Overland engineers have for
the past season been developing and
testing a new, seven passenger Over
land which in points of value, equip
ment and price. bids fair to outclass,
anything that has been offered hereto
fore or will be offered in such surpass-
ing measure for some time to come.
In spite of the production of $4,000
cars, this year. the demand for Over
land cars, it is said, has been so great
during the season just drawing to a
close that the principal difficulty of
the dealer has been to obtain a plenti-
full supply of Overlands
AS announced sometime ago, Mr..
Willys will materially increase his pro-
duction of cylinder models for
1919, while the new siX-cylinder Over
land, whose preparation has been so
carefully guarded, will, for one thing,
serve the purpose of giving Overland
dealers line of cars so complete and
inclusive as to enable them to satisfy
the varying demands of their custom
ers with the product of single manu-
facturer.
After having been passed upon by
WHY'S and his sales staff the produc
ton of the new Six will progress with
the usual Overland celerity, so that an
adequate supply of them will be ready
Tor the market in the late Summer or
early Fall.
The siX-cylinder addition to the
overland line will retail at $1475, at
which figure it has all the appearances
! OF record d-breaking value that is un
attalnable to any but an old and we'll

tacturer like j. N WHY'S.
In appearance the Overland Six is
stylish and impressive, and, according
to the manufacturers, revelation in
service. The wheelbase is 1875 inches

45-50 horse power, the handsome
streamline body seems to indicate

at that time we did not have on hand
the exact figures to back up such
claim.
I'm figuring up-keep cost for motor
cars, the repairs necessary to keep
the machine in perfect working order
have a wide bearing on economy of
operation. To such an extent is this
true that some motor car companies
have claimed that We're they to stop
manufacturing their product at this
moment, they could still do a profit

Not long ago. in order to determine

just exactly what Hupmobile owners
have spent in repair costs, our audit
ing department gave me report on
all the repair parts sold to Hupmobile
owners in the last nve years. This
record showed that on the 40,0 900 Hup-
mobiles now in use, that the average
cost per car for repair parts-basing
mileage at about 5000 miles per car,
per year, is 2.7 mills per mile-hardly
more than one-fifth of a cent. Need
less to say, this proved a big surprise
