FARMERS TO MEET
HERE NOVEMBER 27|

Commissioner T. Ives Dodge refused
to do this, and as a result the mass
meeting for November 81 has been
called.
The statement issued by Messrs.
Wilson, Stearns, Campbell and Snow
is as follows:
"Appeal to Farmers"
1--WE wish to appeal through your
columns to the farmers of Thurston
county who are interested in better
farming.
"The commissioners of our county
have taken a decisive stand not to
pay more than $1,000 to retain our
county agent for the ensuing year.
AS we understand it, they are just
as willing to pay young man just
out of college this amount as they
are to pay man with practical ex-
perience and age. We consider it
unjust to ask a man of years of expe-
/ llCIlSO " WIN lOI lulo dluOuAJ anu
we consider it unwise to hire a young
man to lead the farmers of our coun-
ty in so great a work at which only
about one out of fifteen make good
at first.
Therefore, the money and time
spent for this vast years work is
thrown away, as far as the new coun-
ty agent is concerned, for he will
have everything to learn, and we as
farmers cannot afford to put new
man in our field each year.
1.-THE county agent is of far more
value than great many farmers con-
slider at first thought. He must be a
man who has the knowledge of ami
NAL husbandry, who can help you If
you have a sick COW, horse or other
animal. He must be able to handle
the machinery of any farm, tractors,
gas engines, ensilage cutters, etc. He
must be able to instruct the farmers
on the different farm buildings for
convenience. He must have the
knowledge of fertilizers and when and
how to apply. He must understand
farm marketing and this is the great
est problem of all, problem which
takes time and very deep study.
"Old Ways Disappearing"
1--WE are interested in Thurston
county; our homes are here. We
wish to- Sc our farmer friends adj
vance in their work on the farm. The
old ways are fast disappearing and
in order to meet the competition Of
the day we are compelled to use mod
ern. ideas. Therefore, we ask every
farmer interested to meet at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms at 1880
O'Clock, Saturday, November 81, to
discuss ways and means to retain our
present agent"

Its awfully hard to have to turn
down two orders for every one you
can accept and fill, but we'd rather dc
that than force the factories to the
limit put on LOT of unknown, untried
men and send cars out that might not
be up to the Standard" says r. G.
Rueschaw, sales manager of the. REQ
Motor Car Company.
There's an almost irresistible temp
tation to shoot them out as they say
in the trade, and try to fill all dealers
demands. We have, however, become
so accustomed to an over-demand and
to resisting that kind of temptation, it
has now become habit with us and 50
it's easier than If it were a new ex-
perience with us.
Our plan Is to make every car sell
two others. Only way to do. that is
to be certain every car is fully up to
standard. That isn't easy at any time
1t is almost impossible when working
under pressure with the safety valve
tied down. We never do it.

CHANDLER Announces new
SEVEN-PASSENCER MODEL
Longer Wheel Base and Extra Garry
ing Capacity Feature New Body
Price Remains Unchanged--Demand
for a Room Car Is Recognized

Recognizing the demand for roomy
seven4passenger car of the six-cyiinder
type, the Chandler Motor Car Company
of Cleveland has just announced a new
seven4pasenger body style for the com
ing season at 81 1,295. To accommodate
the handsome stream-line body, the
Chandler Six wheel base has been
heightened considerably, and the COM
plete ear will take its place as one of
the smartest of late-season models.
Although the cars value has been
greatly increased, officials of tine com.
pany state that no change will be made
in the price, which remains at 1925.
In designing the new sevN passenger
body, Chandler engineers have given
special attention to the comfort of pas
.sengers in the tonneau. The two extra
seats in the rear are among the most
ingenious devices seen in motoring cir
cles for some seasons. These auxiliary
seats when not in use, fold into the
back of the front seat, and are clever
ly concealed by flaps, giving the car the
appearance of five-passenger machine.
When raised in position, they are self
supporting, no thumb-screws or levers
of any nature being necessary to keep
them in place. One direct motion of the
hand raises a seat in position, ready for
use or lowers 1T out of the way. The
absence of supports under the auxiliary
seats affords the occupants of the rear
seat, additional leg room and freedom
from annoyance.
Since the announcement of the ST.
295 Chandler at the Chicago automo-
bile show, the big Cleveland plant of
the Chandler Company has been working
day and night in an effort TO keep up
with orders. Several large additions to
the factory, now nearing completion,
will more than double the capacity of
the plant. These additions include an
entirely new assembly building and ex-
tensive enlargement of the body finish
ing and testing departments.-Adv.*

HIGH SERVICE IN Chalmers
Nearly 100000 Parts of All Models
On Hand For Owners of
$4,000 Cars

Hugh Chalmers. whose achievements
in motor car manufacturing are a
source of perennial amazement, has
perfected an endless chain OF service
to the nearly $4,000 owners of Chal-
.mers cars.
This product of the Judgment of the
president of the Chalmers Motor Com
pany, is a significant development in
the new era of American business
methods.
The sale of service has reached its
most extraordinary development in the
motor car field. Hugh Chalmers is
manufacturing and selling service.
The car itself is just one detail of
that service. With multitude of
proficient arms. the organization
reaches out to owners, wherever they
may be, in an organized effort to keep
every Chalmers car measuring up to
the highest possible degree of salts
factory performance at all times.
The department carries in stock at
all times 'over 100000 parts of all
Chalmers models, from the earliest to
the latest. For some Of these in
Vulnerable parts there will probably
never be call. They are carried as
an insurance that Chalmers owners
may have swift and satisfactory SER
vice in any contingency.

STATES1OCET LARGE Return
Transcontinental Travel This Year In
Monetary Value to Run High
Says American Auto Association

Reduced to figures that will demon
strate the monetary returns from the
great volume of transcontinental
travel that will be done this year, the
most conservative estimate is well
borne out by the inquiries for touring
and route information received at the
Washington and New York touring
bureaus of the American Automobile
Association. On April the total was
1,006 Facts supplied by all these in
quiries indicate an average of four
persons to car. Placing the average
expenditure at $500 per head per diem
and this makes allowance for por-
ton that will camp out at least some
of the way-this plainly shows a net in
come of not less than $42, 900 to each of
the States crossed. As the season for
this information is hardly started, it
can readily be seen that the amount
of money which will be spent in each
of the States by the automobile tourists
will run into seven figures.
Whatever estimate may have been
made as to the amount of touring that
will be done this year in the United
States, it will fall far short of the
actual count. This view of the situa-
ton is warranted by the enormous
increase in the number of inquiries be-
ing handled this spring by the A. A. A.
This increase over any previous years
records not only comes from the men,
bership of the National body of motor
car owners, but also through the vari-
Gus Chambers of Commerce and like
business associations between the At
lantic and Pacific oceans These in
quiries logically find their way to the
National body of organized motorists
because it has at its command all the
general touring and route information.

ditions. Contributions are continu-
ously being received from the more

importance Of IGNITION
SYSTEM Is ITS Dependence
George w. H. Roberts, Distributor Of
Haynes Car, Says Generator Battery
Is Superior to Magnetic at Cranldng
and on Low Speed

1.-THE most important characteristic
of any ignition system should be its
dependability under all conditions, -
states George w. III. Roberts, of Rob-
erts 4 Holm, distributor of the Haynes,
Americas first car. 1.-THE generator
battery system of ignition has caused
much discussion as to its reliability in
comparison to the high tension magnetic
system. As a matter OF fact there is
in reality very little difference between
the two systems. The generator1battery
system is standard equipment on more
than SIXTY per cent. of the leading
1915 models and by actual results is
proving the equal of the magnetic in all
respects and the superior at eranking
and low speeds.
1t is a significant faA. that the
new eight-cylinder motors are depend
ing upon the generator-battery system
for ignition in preference to the mag
neto. The two systems have their dis
tinctive fields of operation.
The magnetic system is, of course,
reliable, but it has its limitations in
output the same as any electrical gen.
orator. From observations and tests
made of the two systems, it seems that
when all arguments are boiled down, one
system is as dependable as the other,
and that the generator-battery system
is pre-eminently suited to the touring
ear where extremely low speeds are
necessary at times, while the magnetic
system works to its best advantage in
the racing car where the speeds are
high and fairly constant.
Suppose that the armature of a
high tension magnetic be taken and
mounted stationary at some point on
the car and that the magnetic distributor
be driven from the same shaft as be-
fore. Then if an outside source of eur
rent, such as from the lighting gem
orator, be sent through the distributor
and armature, the ignition current is
given exactly in the same manner as
would be given by the magnetic, were it's
armature revolving, except that the cur
rent would be stronger at the low mo-
tor speeds.
''The motor buyer has been con-
fused by comparisons being made be-
tween the high tension magnetic and
the old time vibrator coil system, in
stead of the modern high tension dis
tributor generator-battery system. This
latter system can be made dual sys.
TEN as is the case with most of the
magnetic systems. Adv

STORY OF H0LLIER EIGHT
Beauty, Power and Comfort in Pop
ular Car Satisfy Demands of
American People

The American people demand
change and Improvement with every
season, and the latest favorite for
1915 is found in the Hollier Eight"
which has been received with great
eclat, both the dealer and the owner
have extended it the glad hand.
Throughout the entire car the handi-
work of the master designer is found.
Its popular price and economical fea-
ture appeal to the good business man,
while the beauty, power and comfort
satisfy the buyer who needs not con-
slider price.
The Lewis Spring and Axle Com
pany have by the elimination of ex-
cessive overhead costs and abnormal
Advertising campaigns made it pos
sible to offer to the buyer the first ear
in which all of the intrinsic value is
found in the component parts of the
car.
Fred Lewis who has designed the
new Hollier eight" has produced
a machine that has none of the defects
found in the early "Eights,' and the
new car will be found full season
ahead of its competitors.
The Hollier eight was first
quietly offered to the trade during the
National show period, and the cars to
the value of $2,000,000 were sold to
the large distributors within two
weeks time. A record proving its own
merit. Almost every builder of four
cylinder pleasure ears has been en-
deavoring to secure an eight cylinder
motor for their four cylinder chassis,
and a number of these motors are now
being offered with hurriedly assembled
motors of unproven performance.
This, disposition on the part of the
manufacturer, however, proves the de-
mand for the eight cylinder construc-
tion, which now seems to be the ulti-
mate design, because of its power and
compactness. Harrisburg has been
recognized as distributing center and
fourteen counties will be supplied from
this city. Early deliveries are guaran-
teed by the Hollier Sales Company, l..
w. Dill, manager.-Adv.*
