Flrestones Again Help to Win Victory.
Word comes from Los Angeles that
a contest was held recently in that
vicinity which was conceded to be
the greatest event Of it's kind ever
held. Twenty-four motor trucks Of
various makes and classes were pit
ted against each other In q strenuous
run of over 200 miles against the
heaviest kinds of odds. -
: In laying out route for test, j
committee appointed by the Motor
Truck dealers Association of Califor-
mia, selected the worst roads to be
found in that section, to make the at.
fair real test of endurance. Some
of the roads were in such condition
that the touring car in which the com.
mittee travelled, found the greatest
difficulty in making their way. Rough
dirt roads with deep ruts. stretches
of deep sand, where the wheels slid
and foundered almost helplessly, steep
hill climbs, slippery oiled roads and
in fact every kind of obstacle was ar.
ranged for, that would make the at
fair a real test of tires and mechan.
ism.
Starting at Los Angeles, they bore
southeast to Riverside; then north
thru Redlands and San Francisco and
then westward again to Los Angeles.
The best score was chalked up in
favor of a 1900 pound Menomin' e
truck. In the two days Of travel they
consumed about sixteen gallons Of
gasoline, one quart of oil and one
quart Of water. They made the last
ninety-one miles in four hours and
wen+y-eight minutes. The driver
gives much of the credit for his vic
tory to the behavior Of the Firestone
tires with which the truck VA.
equipped.

Change Of Road.

Aug. Jordin, road overseer for the
town Of New London. is busy these
days with six teams and men, making
a change in the Norway Lake road
about a mile and half west of the
village. ]. M. Monson circulated Pc

munity to change the road, in 1911.

ions 8 and 9, the road will be made to
run due west following the south line

road again in the neighborhood of the
old church on the J. NJ. Monson farm.
About half of the work will be done
this fall and the remainder next
summer. A new bridge will also
have to be built over Crow river just

The world war has upset all the
clever schemes of the partisan politi-
clans. President Wilson as the Amer
lean President now worthily occupies
the highest position in the world, and
with the tremendous responsibility
resting upon him as the head of the
only first class world power not in
volved in the war, truly says that he
has no time for politics. The Ameri.
can people say the same thing, and
they will do nothing that will serve
to weaken or discredit their presi-
dent in this tremendous crisis.

first removed staple from the side of
the house and then went down to the
screen porch where it entered the
house splitting the frame of the door
and passed out of the house through
another screen door directly across
the room. The house was completely
filled with smoke. Mrs. Newgard was
standing on the screened porch at the
time but suffered no injuries.-New
