Jcffcry Quad 4-WheeI Drive
Truck Performs Clever
Stunts.

Last week at one of the local the
atrcs there was shown the first of a
series Of pictures under the auspices
OF the Jcffcry Motor Sales company
OF Tulsa, the first l,0O0-foot reel
among other things, showing how
supplies could be carried 80 the front
in case Of war This part OF the pic
ture was executed by Uncle Sans
sodiery who later conducted many
tests on the Jeffery quad truck which
all went to show that this four-wheel
drive machine can travel anywhere II
four-mule team can go, leaving the
roads behind ana cutting ncross
country, climbing out on level ground
after being buried hub-deep i'm sand,
going up a 40 per cent grade, climbing
hurdles l6 inches high are Just a few
Of the things this car does with ease.
Further test showed that the car
could be brought to standstill in
eight feet, while carrying a fun LOAD
and going at the rate Of IA miles per
hour The Jeffery quad Is now in

REQ supports New Idea.
one Of the most interesting moves
and ono which promises TO be far
reaching i'm its effect is that made by
the REQ Motor Car company-the first
automobile concern to offer any lib
eral support to road building.
Recently that firm offered TO sub.
scribe $500 mile for a road from
Lansing to Pennington, Mich In
order to understand the offer it
might be said that there is now a
splendid concrete road of the most
modern type running from the center
OF Detroit out to Pennington and
with the "Reo highway that is
to be its name-built from Lansing
to Pennington would connect the two
automobile centers. The road will
run through the counties OF Ingham
Livingston and Oakland and connect
with Wayne county, In which Detroit
is located.
The only conditions are that the
road be Dullt up to certain standard
and that it he called the REQ high
way This last suggestion came not
from the REQ company, but from the
road commissioners, who thought It
would have a big advertising value
for good roads everywhere.
If the taxpayers vote to accept this
prOpostion-there is little doubt they
Will-the movement is liable TO
spread. The REQ Motor Car company
states frankly that it would be will
ing to go considerably farther II the
plan works out well, as they consider
it not only a patriotic thing to do,
but good business.

The "Eeo highway" when built
will prove an important highway

road from Detroit to Toledo has been

REQ PROFFERS AID
FOR A HIGHWAY
$500 a Mile Offered for
Road to Pennington,
Mich.

1t is strange fact that the state
Of Michigan, in which more than 70
per cent OF the worlds automobiles
are manufactured, has some of the
poorest roads In the whole country.
The fact that large portion Of the
state is low lying and that another
largo portion OF 1t Is sand accounts
for this TO II large extent
The county in which Mlchigan's s
metropolis Detroit Is situated had
until recently nOtoriously bad roads
This was due to the swampy nature
OF the section, which, geOlogists tell
u.s. was formerly the bed Of great
inland sea. Time after time appeals
were made to the automobile manu-
facturers to aid In the good roads
moN emcnts i'm various sections, but
most of them have been ignored for
TWO reasons.
First, a natural disinclination to pay
out their own money for the general
good, even though it was conceded
that the automobile profits very
largely by good roads, and second,
because the automobile manufacturers
maintained that their support for
good roads really served to prejudice
the farmers - who are in fact the
greatest OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the
movement.
Farmer Strong Supporter.
Your old-time farmer was liable to
jump to the conclusion that If it BEN
efits some one else 1t must necessarily
lnjure him. So in his early hatred of
the automobile he condemned any
good roads movement, or late the
farmer has been the most enthusiastic
user of the automobile and also of the
motor truck. incidentally he has
found that strip of good road from
ms farm to the city not only enabled
him to transport his farm produce to
the market at a great saving Of time.
but also great saving of equipment
horses, wagons, harness. etc.
1t is difficult TO realize now that
the farmer didn't appreciate the tre-

condition Of the roads This $500
per mile REQ appropriation will un-
doubtedly bring that about.
The REQ highway will be a model
in every regard, in that permanent
signs will be located at certain defin-
ite points for the direction of tour
ists--similar to those In use in France
and other European countries and
sharply contrasting with the unstable
unbeautiful signs we now find posted
haphazard along American ROADS
where there are any signs at all
and will render touring pleasant from
every viewpoint

TIRE DOPE

GU. S. Tire Man,
Bruiscs-Their Cause and Effect,

A bruise is an injury to the carcass
OF tire caused by violent contact
with an irregularity which tears tho
fabric, Usually the injury does not
at once show. However, the struct.
ure of the tire is weakened at the in
jured spot and eventually a blowout
will occur Even the most careful
and skillful driver cannot avoid
bruises altogether. But II your tires
are properly inflated and you strike
an obstruction the tire has the resil-
ency of tho air behind it to aid in re-
sisting the impact Of the blow and the
effect is likely to be less serious

The Outrage
By REV. JAMES d. GOLD, D. D.

The utter barbarism involved in
the sinking Of the magnificent Lusi-
tania has shocked America as moth
ing has done during the fifth out
break of German savagery in the
last fifty years. Every war Ger
many makes on a European nation
sees her brutality increased. Dur
ing this, her fifth Invasion of a
European nation in less than fifty
years, she has thrown off every YES
tige of civilized usage and murder
ed, outraged, burned, stolen and
destroyed right and left, not except
ing converts, cathedrals and the
priests of Almighty God. She has
just 8 k several Scandinavian
passenger ships without taking off
the passengers, but calmly al
lowing the poor travellers to shift
for themselves or drown. She has
murdered innocent American citi-
zens, while they were peacefully
sailing the high seas, sunk our ships
and destroyed the cargoes Of our
merchants.
She has premeditatedly murdered
innocent children, beaten and muir
dered old men, and laughed when
drowning women were calling fol
help, as the result of her piratical
attacks on passenger vessels. And

The city council Monday ev-
ening granted a petition to r.
Chase and others to place a
cement crossing at the inter-
section Of the Halvorson alley
and Main street, petitioners to
bear cost of same. It was also
decided to build a cross walk at
the intersection of Main and
Halvorson streets, connecting
the cement walks. The contract
for the discharge line at the
pump house was awarded to
Tom Delaney at $4,000, there
being but one bid for the work.
1t was decided to authorize the
marshal to see that all rubbish
was cleaned up, as the board Of
health personnel has not yet

A positive statement is
worse than useless when UNI
supported. When a peri
son or newspaper makes a
positive statement the audi
tors or readers. Immediately
find themselves m entally|
challenging it, or in the cur
rent vernacular they at once
take a "show me" attitude
and if the statement cannot
be backed up by facts and
figures it falls fiat.
On numerous occasions the
Pioneer Press has made the
statement that this was the
surest crop producing sec
ton east of the R Q c k y

this statement by quoting
from the statistics of n e
Government Department of
Plant Industry and from the
rainfall statistics of Bozeman

ten-year average. Just now
we are running a hall page
display, showing maps and
figures in support of our con-
tention. Nothing could be
more convincing t h q
perusal of these maps and
figures. Since we be 6 a n

has been a big demand for
