The great valve-in-head motor. with overhead
camshaft, costs us $4,000 more to build in our own
shops than the ordinary type Of motor be bought
for on the outside and most Of the competitors
price class are using the ordinary type of motor.
When Chalmers engineers went to Europe to
study design two years ago, they found European
designers at work on high speed motors Of the valve
in-head type with overhead csmshaft.
European makers had already tried this type out
in their racers. They were perfecting it for road
car
We hoped to be the FIRST in America to adopt this
style Of motor But when the war stopped European
makers fate decreed that we should lead the world
in the use of the yalve-n-head overhead camShaft
motor for a stock car.
We were not surprised at the showing at Indian
apos and Chicago. where this type of motor won all
honors. We knew year ago that these results
would be achieved.
Speedway Racers All of This Type
We knew that to attain speed Of 90 to 100
miles an hour that the motor would have to be
avalve-in-head overhead camshaft type.

Harold Bemis of Long Prairie. bv
making his Duroc Jersey pig gain
SO pounds a day at cost of SO
cents a pound not only won first prize
for north central Minnesota with the
title OF champion pork producer but

ton for farmers on the cost of pro-
ducing pork.
1t cost Harold more to produce a
pound Of pork than it did many of
the others who entered the contest
but he justified the extra cost by
producing the pork faster. At the
end Of year Or two his method
would bring in far more money.
The boy gets the all star club en-
blem of the state, $40 in prize money,
a special prize Of So and pure bred
Duroc Jersey pig.
Pork on the South St. Paul market
sold for cents a pound the day that
