Bad Auto Wreck

Sparta-On Tuesday afternoon a
big Kissel Kar, travelling at high
rate of speed, run headon into the
guard rail along the bridge about "
miles west of Sparta, carrying railing
and all into the creek. The fact that
a 10-inch railing was doubled up and
car and all plunged into the creek is
sufficient evidence that the car must
have been running at high rate of
speed when the accident occurred.
There were three men in the car
when the accident happened. After
the mixup one of the party phoned
the Sparta garage to get the car, but
on account of it being dark it could
not be removed from the creek until
the following forenoon. Before leav-
ing the car the trio took off the lie
ense numbers so that it could not be
identified from this source. However,
local people have identified the car as
one formerly owned by Mr.. Chaffee of
the firm of Young & Chaffee, Of
Grand Rapids, but is now owned by
Mr. DeGood, who is in the moving
business in that city.

Syrup Is Non-Combustible

Worthwhile - Running smoothly
along the road several miles from
town, Mrs. A. j. Rickel felt quite
proud of her success in managing a
Ford car when all at once the engine
gradually slowed down and stopped.
Mrs. Rickel knew nothing of the me-
chanism of the car and was quite at a
loss what to do. Two urchins chanc-
ed to be on the road and they came
up to help investigate. Both stuck
their fingers in the oily substance,
dripping from the car and licked it
off. Mrs. Rickel was amazed think
ing the oil would make them i'll when
one of the children spoke up, saying,
"Oil, muffin, that's sumpin good"
Mrs, Rickel at once called up the man
who had taught her to drive, telling
him her car was all gummed up with
something. The man answered, 81
went down cellar this morning to get
some lubricating oil for the car, but
guess it must have been maple syrup.
Upon investigation this was found to
be the case.

senting the governor of California, Ed

of the interesting history of the fertile
north territories which have become
the Dakotas, and expressed apprecia
ton of North Dakotas citizenship.
He said in part:
ut is my privilege in appearing here
today as an executive of the exposi
ton to express to the governor OF
North Dakota the gratitude of the Of
ficials of this exposition and the peo'
pie of San Francisco for the support
that Governor Hanna alone gave us in

to be found in the Dakota citizenry.
He was heartily applauded when he
said that North Dakota is prohibition

generation in that state have never
faced the menace of the open saloon.
He asked the audience to come for
ward after the program and meet my
wife, my daughter, and my boy"
Commissioner Arlett commented up
on the exposition as an interpreta-
ton of real internationalism.
