ROADS MUST BE DRAGGED

Senator Bob Dunn-Road overseers
and town supervisors should bear in
mind that the one-mill dragging tax
should be applied as the law directs
for the purpose of dragging the
roads. Perhaps the law is being COM
piled with, but the roads in this vi
cinity do not show it. Every dollar
in the town dragging fund can be US
ed to good advantage on most of the
roads in every town. To misapply
public funds is a misdemeanor pun
ishable by fine or imprisonment.

KEEPING IN THE MONEY CLASS
Sanderson & Parker Horses Doing
Good Work on North Dakota
-" Racing Circuit.

The Sanderson & Parker stable
We're, competitors in a field of Is
horses at Cooperstown, N. D., races
last week. In the free for all pace
Major Gantz met his old enemies, Rob
Roy, 2:051a and Geo. w. Newton. The
number of starters was five in this
race and the battle between Major
and Rob Roy was fierce one. The
first heat was a dead heat. Major
won the second, and Rob Roy the next
two. Every heat was won by nose.
This gave Major second money in a
$500 purse.
DeHall divided third and fourth
money in a field of nine starters and
Ross Directum divided third and
fourth money in a field of ten.
Kingola, owned by Sanderson &
Parker, and Mayor, owned at Eagle

were sent to Morris from Glenwood.
Kingola won first money in the 2:25
trot or pace, and Mayor, eligible to
the 80 class, won third money in the
2:15 pace. They were driven by Clay
Hash of Glenwood. The entire stable
is racing at Valley City this week.
Herald readers will recall that Mr..
Sanderson protested a race at Fargo,
last July, making charges against
Bessie Bee and Geo. w. Newton. Sec
rotary Knight of the American Trot-
ting Association has recently upheld
the contention of Mr.. Sanderson, and
on July 9th he received a check for
$3.50 from C. A. Nash, secretary of
the Interstate Fair at Fargo, in full
payment of his claim.

Terms Easily Understood
In New Instruction Book

Fault frequently has been found with
the hopeless character OF some instruc-
tion books. from which owners are ex-
pected to learn how to operate and care
for their motor cars. To the novice the
average instruction book Is about as
understandable as a Chinese laundry
list. while to even the most experienced
It is often perplexing. Too many OF
these works are constructed upon the
lines Of treatise intended for an engi-
neer, and not as an educational book
for some one who buys an automobile
for pleasure, and not for the purpose Of
taking up a course In mechanics.
Only the plainest and simplest Eng
lish is used i'm the Studebaker instruc-
ton book 1t is excellently illustrated,
so that every part of the car can be
readily understood and located. The
book offers suggestions that mean for
longer life Of an automobile; describes
the controls in detail, how to raise and
lower the Studebaker one-man top. how
to mount a spare rim, and the simple
method OF changing tires on the special
" constructed Studebaker demountable
rims. The functions and operation OF
the carburetor and the electrical lubrl-
cation and motor cooling systems are
fully described. No detail is overlooked.

MOTOR CAR FIRM
TO DEVELOP AEROS
President H. B. Joy Explains
Why Packard Company viii
Enter Field.

When asked as to the reported ac-
tivIty OF the Packard Motor Car
Company in the aeronautical field.
President Henry b. Joy made the fol-
lowing statement:
Eyes, IL Is true that the Packard
Company has felt that on account Of
the elaborate engineering studies
which II has accomplished in recent
years which have led Il to the, Twin
Six type OF motor, that II has become
incumbent upon II to develop aero
craft motors for military purposes.
IT have recently ridden in one OF the
best American aeropIanea. studying
the application OF an aeroplane motor
to the wants Of aerOcraft. Some OF
our directors have done considerable
aeroplane riding and know the seri.
Gus needs OF the aeroplane art for the
very best motors which can possibly
be produced.
'It is probably unusual for q cor
poration TO go out ofits way to pro-
duce such military devices az aer0-
plane motors. because the demand Tor
them will probably be uncertain. Yet
our directors feel that II II part OF
the important duty OF manufacturers
in this country to mobilize their IA
cilities into such form a. that thev
might be avatled OF in time OF need.
We feel that our Government IL going
to md important need OF cooperating
in the development of what would be
the serious wants of our country In
time of military trouble, in case such
an unfortunate condition should come
II feel that I have undsrstated the
proposition as TO the Views which our
directors hold Of the duties of manu-
facturers in this country TO work in
cooperation with the Government offi-
cials 30 that we may be ready for any
contingency. Our company feels cOat
It IL its duty to carry on this work
toward the condition OF military pre-
paredness which all our directors thor
oughly believe IL the important neces-
sity of the day.
This is not because we are OF q war
like disposition. But three out OF seven
directors OF the Packard company nave
served in the United States army or
navy in time OF war, and two others
have served long tours OF duty IN the
Michigan state troops. II iB not. there
ICES to a greater extent than the aver
age manufacturer the very serious
distress which would exist in time of
trouble for want OF equipment being
available on sudden call to meet the
conditions OF war which always occur
with surprising audiences.
I'VE had not contemplated making
any public announcement OF our actIv-
tiles along these lines, but since the ru-
mors have reached your paper and
you have asked me for a statement of
motors OF in the neighborhood of 100
horsepower and 300 O-horsepower for light
I should not state that We are en-
gagged in seeking to develop seroplane
scout aeroplanes and heavier duty
aeroplanes."
