auet Of the Delaware County Automoolle
Club. Invitations have been sent out ana
the committees final report is most en-
couraglng. Plates have been laid Tor 6So
and there is every indication that the 1914
affair will be the most successful ever
programmed.
Joseph H. Weeks. the president of the
organization, has left no stone unturned
that would help the committee prepare
a highwater banquet. Under his personal
direction many great things nave peeh ac-
complshed in the past.
This organization is one OF the largest
in the United states and Is very innuential
in many ways. 1t has done a great ueai
of good work for its members and for mo-
torists at large as well. The organization
is practically baby in years, out luli-
grown man in numbers. It's rise Is an
example of what might be done by other

The war in Europe has wiepd out en-
tirely all traces of what was reared IN
some circles was to be a great war oe-
tween four and six-oyllnder automobiles.
What was expected TO be somewhat OF
spirited struggle died aborning. and there
does not seem to be any difficulty in sell
ing fours and skies alongside each other
on the same floor. Interest centres now
on the experiment which one manufac-
turer is making with an eight-cylinder
automobile. The Scientific American, one
Of the greatest authorities in the world
on mechanics and mechanical principles,
in recent editorial says that the eight
cylinder car should make place for itself
In tho hearts of the American motoring
public and that the present experiment
OF the daring manufacturer is sure to be
followed by many others. All the good
points of the six are to be had In the
eight, and 1t has been found that skill
in the manufacture of tho latter has made
car that Is finer In every way than the
cars of fewer cylinders that have re-
suited in the evolution from the "one-
lunger."

II an official scorer ever decided close

given through the national law controlling
migratory birds will cause many OF these
birds to stop in this place, and II will
again become, as in former times, a noted
breeding place for this species OF game
note what IL said in several letters

your organization for the splendid work
done In securing this end II the com
