power Not Always Necessary.

Power Not Always Necessary.
One of the singular things about the
modern hydroplane is that tremendous
power is not always necessary to at
tain high speed OF course if sixty
miles is the goal, "horse power" must
be employed by the hundreds, but
there's many little hydro capable of
% or 80 miles an hour that carries
only horse of power for every mile
in speed.
A notable example of this. Is ely
ing Eagle tiny hydro which is now
trip through Virginia and
Carolina waterways to Florida She
carries only IL horse power, little
two-cylinder Eagle motor, but she
clips off % miles an hour very easily
and is said to be capable of 25 miles,
running light.
speed Demon Power Extreme
The other extreme of speed is seen
in BABY Speed Demon H., last years
American champion and winner of the
big southern races this month in Flor
ida. She is only 20. feet long. but an
eight cylinder Sterling of 225 horse
tower has driven her at the rate OF
54.54 miles an hour. 1t will be noted
that the increase in speed is not in
to the increase in horse
power. for above so miles an hour the
miles come harder, and a big increase
in power is necessary for every mile
of speed gained.
Another interesting example of the
modern hydroplane is the Warren
Groat," also 20 footer which has
made 43 miles an hour with motor
half the power of the Demon
four cylinder Wisconsin of 81 inch
bore and SIS inch stroke. 1t is improb-
able that three boats could be select
ed which would better illustrate the
of the hydroplane or
gliding boat The Baby Speed Dem
on H. is to be shipped directly from
the Florida races to the Chicago mo-
tor boat show and it is likely that
the Warren roat" and the Flying
Eagle" will also be on exhibition.

High Speed on Top or Over the Wa
ter Sought by Builders
at the Present
Time.
TO BE SHOW FEATURE
Hydropiane In its Latest Development
viii be Feature Of Chicago
Show in
March.

High speed on the water-or rather
over it's one OF the interesting de-
velopments of boat building of the
past half dozen years. Experiment
finally proved to the builders that the
theory of building sharp, narrow
boat that could sneak" through the
water while the water wasn't aware,
was wrong, and that to get real speed
they must plan to glide over the top
of the water, and thus escape the i'm
mense resistance. This has develop
ed the modern hydroplane, a craft
that once under way virtually slips
along on top of the water like a peb-
BILE slides over a sleety pavement.
The hydroplane in its latest develop
ment will be a feature of the national
motor boat show in Chicago the first
week in March, an event which is at
tracing the attention of the motor
boat fans" all over the country.

age. unless he is sooner reformed
A good deal of interest has cen
tered around the case on account Of
the boys youth. The evidence showed
that the hoy with his younger
brothers, the youngest seven years Of
age, premedtated the deed on account
of the alleged cruelty Of the father.
While the father was in WOODWARD
with one of the boys, another stole
grain, sold it at Fargo and with the
proceeds purchased the gun. The
shooting occurred a few days later,
The father was shot in the stomach
as he came out of the house and
again in the thigh as he tried to run
into the house to escape The father
lived about twenty-four hours and re
fused to tell who had done the shoot
ing.
An attempt was made to fasten the
crime on a neighbor, but the boys con-
fessed under pressure. \ large crowd
attended the hearing yesterday and
this morning.

WANYEp-A PARTY BY

Now, that on its face does not seem
to be much of a request, and it would
not be but for the fact that the Off
GERS want him, and when the officers
or a party by any other name for
that matter, the said party is likely
to keep securely hidden until after
the officers have lost their yearning,

this particular party by the name of
Jones wanted here, was for some time
an inmate of that large, cold, clammy
looking brick and stone structure on
second avenue southwest, presided
over by Sheriff Garrett and his sat
alites, and for the very good reason
that he had tried to get money on a
couple of checks bearing the names
of County Attorney A. j. Hardy and
District Judge Freeman. Now the two
officers in question thought it some
compliment to them that their mon
nickers were deftly forged on that pa
per, but in Difference to their oaths
to enforce the laws of the land as
sumed when they took office, could
not do otherwise than detain Mr.
Jones. 1T was while he was being de-
tanned for hearing at the next term
of district court that he so worked on
the good nature of jail officials that he
was made a trusty and put to work
assisting them about the jail. While
in the Jail Mrs Curtis, county proba-
ton officer had frequent calls over
the phone by female voice asking if
she would deliver flowers to "Mr.
Jones" at the county jail if they were
sent to the rest room. Mrs. Curtis
said Sure" Or words to that effect,
and for several days after huge bou-
quets were ready to be delivered TO
the party by the name of Jones in
the county Jail. He refused 10 di-
