Hillsboro is most fortunate in secur-

that the large chimney on the same is
just half completed, being SIS feet in
height. Ii is l6 feet in diameter at it's
base and when completed will be ITO

progressing nicely and if nothing inter-
feres with the construction from now
on, the company will be ready to take
milk by October lst as announced.

Biggest Automobile
Tour in History

Larson & Solverson are back
after taking part in it.
$50 cars in Line. Army of
Studebaker Dealers drive
new models back home.
The Michigan sand and
rocky hills were fierce.
The run from Detroit to Chica-
go was race from start to fin
ish. This happened to be so for
the reason that every man was
given to understand that he must
drive the car just as it was de-
hvered to him top up; be must
keep up or get lost in the Mich
igan sand hills and woods. An
other thing that made the racy
driving was the fact that every
man was privately informed that
in case he broke his car in any
way, busting tires, breaking
springs, bending tenders or dis
locating top, that the Studebak-
er Corp. of America would re-
place any of these things them
selves in such way that no one
could tell it from new, and IL the
break should be such ae to show
on the car after repaired, then
the Studebaker would replace
same with brand new car. This
of course fired every man up in
such way that he male up his
mind to keep up and they all did,
but it was at the rate of IS to as
miles per hour and some of them
at some time went a little faster.
Every one of $50 drivers were
completely covered with dirt and
sand and the cars were plastered
80 we could not very well believe
they looked like a lot of cars rev
from the factory when We saw
them lined up on Michigan Ave.
Every dealer was little puzzled
to know why the trip should. be
made in such hurry and 80 reck-
lessly, but after we had all put
away our cars for the night, the
representatives of the Studebak-
er Corporation informed us that
it always took the manufacturers
at least three months to find the
weak part of the new cars but
this year they made up their
mind to find out In three days
and give the cars the severest
test, and Of course everybody in
terest ed was more than satisfied
because every part Of the car
stood the test perfectly and no
me had anything TO offer that
! Ould make them better. The
run from Chicago was made in
IL hours actual run, a distance
of $50 miles.

ANOTHER BIRD FOR PRISON
Man Pleads to.Robbing a Burlington
Freight Car and Goes to Pen

Vernon is having more than her share
of sending transients to states prison
for crimes committed within the con-
fines of the county. Two men were
brought over from Victory on Saturday
in charge of railway officials, who were
charged with breaking into and stesling
from freight car. Although refusing
to make q clean breast of it to the rail-
road detective, Henry Burger confessed
to District Attorney Bennett that he
broke the seal to a Burlington car at
Lynxville, rified the same and threw
off near Victory eight suits of clothing
and a cravenette. For this he was
sentenced to states prison for Is
months by Judge Mahoney. He was
taken to Waupun by Sheriff HOMELAND.
Burger is 80 years old, claiming resi-
dence in New Jersey. James McGona-
gle, the other man placed under arrest,
had no part in the burglary and theft.
He was hired by Burger to take pack
age of clothing to the express Office at
Victory for shipment. This transaction
lead to solution of the affair.
