Cadillac Company
Scores Another Point
Scientific American Publishes Answer
To Charge That Six Cylinder
PredOminates

To the many owners, actual and
prospective of automobiles in Red
wood Falls and vicinity, the follow
ing article, taken from the last num-
Der Of the Scientific American will
undoubtedly be Of great interest.
To the Editor of the Scientific Amer
lean:
In your issue of January 8, page 10,
under the heading "The Car of 1914"
we find this statement:
'eThe six cylinder car is predomi-
nant. From small beginning it
has swept on until in 1914 it has well
nigh carried all before it. It is the
prevailing feature Of the past auto
mobile year beside which other feat
ures pale; but not into insignifcance."
We are inclosing a tabulation of
the exhibitions at the recent auto
shows in New York. While this does
not necessarily settle the question,
it is at least significant.
Your contributor made no distinc-
ton in his article; he bluntly said,
The six-cylinder car is predominant" "
We feel at liberty therefore to ans
wer it on the same basis.
While the number of makers pro-
ducing "sixes' has probably increas-
ed by what look like big percent
age, the increase in the actual guam
tity of six-cylinder cars produced is
not relatively large.
There are at least two, and we be-.
lieve four makers, any single one of
whom is producing more four-cylinder
cars than all the six-cylinder cars
combined.
Now pardon US if we mention the
Cadillac. We have already shipped
more than $500 of the 1914 models.
We would not be surprised if this
equaled the output so far of all 1914
six-cylinder cars combined. 1t. GER
tainly exceeds the combined output
so far of all six-cylinder cars which
are generally recognized as being
high grade or even those selling at or
above the Cadillac price.
Taking the proposition as whole,
we find according to estimates which
are as authoritative as such esti-
smates can be, that the number of
ears which have and which will be
produced during the 1914 season will
be eight to ten four-cylinder cars to
one six-cylinder car.
On the basis of dollars and cents,
these same estimates show that the
selling value of the four will be two
or three times the value of all the
skies.
| The fact is, the six does not even
approach the four, whether you fig
ure on the basis of the quantity of
cars produced or the value of the
product.
This letter is dated January 10th,
at which time more than $500 1914
Cadillacs have been shipped.

Conference Pledge
Auditor in Letter to Lee Says He
Cannot Abide by Result Since
Peterson Refuses

State Auditor Samuel G. Iverson an
nounced Thursday that he will contin-
ne a candidate for the republican NOM
nation for governor, regardless Of the
action taken at the anti-machine con-
ference of March 10. The announce
ment is made in letter to w. E. Lee,
a rival candidate. Mr.. Iverson had ex-
pressed an inclination to abide by the
conference action, but since the re-
fusal Of James "A. Peterson to bind
himself, he has come to the conclu-
sion that a complete elimination will
not be possible. Mr.. Iverson's letter
says:

the state conference to be held at

dear comrade apd scholar, what Is
most secret and most sacred to me-"
In as few words as might be, he told
her of the peasant child who had been
lifted out of his poverty-bound life
with such large kindness that no
bond which held him to that poor, yet
dear life had been broken; who had
been left all the love of his first home
and yet been given home and train
ing and an education which set him
ready for any career; he told of the
big-souled, blunt, Napoleonic officer,
the seigneur; of the gray, red-roofed
castle, with its four round towers; of
handsome silent Pietro, and Of the
unfailing long kindness of them all.
Then, his voice lowered, holding the
girls hand still, he told her of Alike
of the fairy child who had met him on
that day of his first visit and had
brought him to her father, the seig-
neur. He described a little the play
mate of his childhood, fearless, boyish
in her intrepid courage, yet always ex-
quisitely girl. He told of the long
summer vacations of the three as they
grew up, and the rides in the Jura val
ley, and of that last ride when he knew
that he was to 60 to Italy next morn.
ing, and of how he had faced the seig.
neur and told him that he loved his
daughter and had given her up then,
instantly, for loyalty to him and to
Pietro. And then he told her of the
peasant boy in Riders Hollow in the
gray morning light after the night of
his escape-and how, by hand on the
bride and seat in the saddle, and at
last by the long curl of the black LASH
es he had known the peasant boy for

THIEVES STEAL
A COFFIN BOX
Theft of Tombstones is Matched by
Latest Deed in Police Records

Syracuse, N. Y, March 6.--There
are persons on record at police head
quarters who have been charged
with the theft of tombstones and an

A Valuable Invention.

Mr.. Archibald Welsh of Ayr,
Scotland, nephew of Mrs. Joseph
Irving, residing southwest of this
city, has just secured most import
ant patent, particulars of which are
given as follows in the Ayr Adver-
tiser:
Mr.. Archibald Welsh, head of the
firm of Messrs. A. Welsh & Co., John
street, Ayr, has succeeded in design
ing a means of escape for crews of
submarines who may in future be
so unfortunate, as many have been
in the past, as to be entOmbed in
submarines at the bottom of the
sea. Mr.. Welsh has been in COM
munication with the Admiralty, and
the invention has been seen by sew
eral Admiralty inspectors, whose
opinion has been very favorable.
Further, Mr.. Welsh has been invit-
ed to meet a representative of one
of the largest submarine shiDbuild-
ers on the Clyde. The invention,
for which the patent rights have
been secured, is designed to allow
Of the crew of submarine being set
free, one at time, and with very
little delay. The apparatus consists
OF cylinder, with a lid at either
end. The upper end projects through
the deck, the other is in the hold
Of the submarine. In the event Of
the boat sinking and being unable
to rise, the crew don their life-jack-
cts, one Of them enters this cylinder,
and the under lid is closed; when he
signals that he is ready, the upper
lid is thrown open by lever work
ed by one of the crew, and the man

closed. and the contained water is
drained from it into a locker, the
bottom lid opened and the next man
put in and set free, and so on till
all the crew have been liberated.
Provision is made for the last man

KITCHEN SHOWER.

Mrs. Rufus Nelson entertained a
about a dozen young ladies from
Jewell Friday evening at a kitchen
shower in honor of Miss Nellie Os-
trem also of Jewell, who teaches in
Wilke, and whose marriage occurs
next month. During the evening,
the young ladies asked to be shown
the new cedar chest of the bride to
be, which was at the Nelson home
and upon opening it, Miss Ostrem
found it to be filled with kitchen
articles of every description, which
had previously been placed in the
box. A delicious lap supper was
served at the close Of the evening.

himself free by means of levers
within the cylinder. The patent in
cludes an apparatus whereby floats
may be sent to the surface to indi-
cate the position of the sunken ves-
sci, and by means of these floats
communication with the surface can
be made by telephone. The whole
apparatus is so designed that it
will be of service no matter at what
angle the submarine lies.

He had made his precise bow, and
she had heard his voice saying gently:

the door was closed; and they were
alone together. In fash she felt that
it could not be endured, that she must
escape. She rose hastily.

But Francois had laughed and taken

tender force which thrilled her. He

A company of eighteen ladies were
guests of Miss Grace Whitley Satur-
day afternoon at her home on First
street. A delicious luncheon was
serve in four courses at one o'clock,
the tables being beautiful with CEN
terpieces of French gilt baskets,
containing bouquets of fragrant
rose pink and white sweet peas and
dainty ferns. The tall handles of
the baskets were adorned with pink
satin bows. The guests found their
places around these prettily decorat-
ed tables by the aid of cards done in
rose pink, white, and gold, the
names being daintily lettered in
gold. A tiny rose pink butterfly was
poised on one end of the card and
hidden beneath one of its wings was
a small heart upon which the date,
April 18th, appeared, and told the
guests of the approaching wedding
of their hostess and Mr.. Max Hem
mingway of Fort Dodge. The pref
ty color scheme was further carried
out in the table appointments and
in each course served. After the
luncheon the guests devoted the af-
ternoon to music and a general So
cial time.
Mrs. Irma Hartman of Hampton,
sister of Mr.. Hemmingway's, was
an out-of-town guest.
