A big Cole runabout, driven by
Horace Grim, formerly of st. Marys,
enroute to Richmond, Ind, turned
turtle on the township line, pike, just
north OF the Catholic Church at Car

landed in a field beside the road.
The machine was occupied by Mr.
Grimm and a companion, and it is
almost miraculous that they escaped
death, especially the driver, as the
stearing wheel was broken off. The
car was badly damaged.

USE AUTOS IN HUNTING.
Iowa NimrOds Can Get to The "Out
of Way" Places in
Hurry Now.

The automobile promises to be an
important part of the equipment Of
Iowa game hunters during the hunt
ing season which opened September
i, and which already has caused the
usual activity among nimrods. This
is likely to be one of the most impor-
tant changes in Iowa hunting circles.
The motor car has brought practical
ly every likely game spot within
easy reach of the man with the gun
and there are few places which can
longer be called "out-of-the-way.
Their existence has, through this
agency, become common knowledge,
and makes race to 'get there first
a necessity.
Reports from many sections of
northern Iowa indicate that there
will be plenty of teal, mallards and
blue-bilis, but ducks are said to be
very scarce. Iowa's fields are expect
ed to yield good sport to the hunter
after prairie chicken.

Horses Drown i'm Yellow River.

Last Saturday afternoon Henry
Van Gorder went to the farm of his
brother Sankey, south of Forest
Mills, to cut some corn that was
killed by the frost of the previous
week. The cornfield lies in the Iel-
low River bottoms, one side of it
running close to the shore of that
stream. Henry was driving a three
horse team attached to a corn bind
er, one of the horses being blind and
the other two fine draft animals. AS
Henry was driving along the river
side of the field, the blind horse next
to the stream, the bank caved in
precipitating the three animals and
the binder into several feet of water,
the horses becoming tangled in the
harness and unable to free them
selves, with the result that the two
good horses were drowned and the
blind one survived. Henry saved him
self from the mixup by jumping. The
loss is heavy one for Henry and he
has the sympathy of all in his ill
fortune.-Postville Review.

unhurt, but Mr.. Heggen was seriously
injured. His upper jaw was broken
and several teeth knocked out. He
will probably recover unless the skull
is cracked upon the inside extending
towards the brain.

fact that it was not very high in the

SilO a Necessity.

THE silo is the poor mans ne
cessity and the rich mans luxury, for
by it both gain better and more in
dependent living" are the words of
recent Connecticut experiment
station bulletin. 1t is we'll known that
much more of the nutriments in the
corn plant and other forage crops can
be saved in the silo than by any
other method. There are, of course,
advantages in silage besides its econ
omy in preserving so large a proper
ton of the feeding quality of forage
crops. In winter it furnishes a succu-
lent feed when it is most needed,
which stimulates an assimilation of
food in the animal, while the acids
in the silage act as an appetizer,
keeping the animal hungry and the
digestive organs healthy. Then, again,
there is the opening of a great OPP
portunity for dairymen in the So
called summer silo for in the sum-
mer the pastures begin to dry up and
the feeding of silage will keep the
milk flow to its normal amount.

NEW CLUTCH GOOD FOR SORE
NECKS.
Maxwell Auto Engineers Find WAY
to Make Cone Take Hold
Gently.

One of the few original mechani-
cal features of the new automobile
models, now gaining general circu-
lation, is the use in the 1916 Maxwell
of cone clutch, snugly housed and
running in a bath of ordinary lubri-
eating OIL
Just why nobody ever produced
this plan before is problem over
which engineers generally are now
vainly castigating their souls. For
the Maxwell plan has so many ad-
vantages that even the tyro in ma
chinery can readily appreciate it's
value. These cars are sold in De-
corah by The Woldum Motor Car
Company, and they will gladly dem
onstrate and explain all to any who
desire.
Most important is the smoothness
with which the oiled clutch can be
engaged. 1t is almost impossible for
even a deliberately rough" driver
to snap lack the heads of his passen-
gers by lunGing the car forward af-
ter stop. The oiled clutch cannot
grab" but must take hold gently,
much to the comfort of those who
ride behind it. An approach to this
Maxwell smoothness has been found
in some cone-clutch cars, the clutch
feathers of which have been kept la
boriously soaked in nealsfoot oil.
The constant renewal of this supply
has always been burden, however,
and few motorists have been consci-
entious in giving their car this at
tention.
Second in importance is the advan-
tage of permanence. By running the
clutch in oil, the Maxwell engineers
are able to dispense with the leather
facing usually used in cone clutches,
and have substituted an almost in
destructible piece OF anti-friction
fabric. This fabric is heavily i'm
pregnated with asbestos and cannot
be burned out. Relieved of the fear
of burning leather, the clever driver
is thereby assured ability to manipu-
late his clutch as he sees fit, slipping
it Intentionally whenever the recess
can ease the motor or increase the
comfort Of the cars passengers.
The complication of a multiple
disk clutch has always been a bar to
its adoption by manufacturers who
build cars in large quantities. The
simplicity of the cone clutch has
commended it for use on probably
nine out of ten cars sold in the Unit
ed States. With the enclosed feature
and the oil bath, added by the Max
well engineers, motorists have now
at hand device which, in the judge
ment of engineers approaches close
to perfection.
THE best test of our new clutch is
the way it has satisfied buyers of our
1916 cars all over the country" de-
clares President Walter E. Flanders.
I'VE have given them something
that will add good deal to their
comfort; that was our chief purpose
in making the improvement. But we
aren't losing sight of the fact that !
this new clutch is going to prolong
the life of every Maxwell car. The
clutch that grabs is as hard on the |
car itself as it is on the passengers. |
BY smoothing the way for both, |
we've done something that pleases
everybody in our organization"

Why the Geezer Succeeded.

There was an old geezer and he
had lot of sense; he started up a
business on dollar eighty cents.
The dollar for stock and the eighty
for an ad, brought him three lovely
dollars in day, by dad. Well, he
bought more goods and little more
space, and he played the system with
a smile on his face. The customers
fiocked to his two-by-four, and soon
he had to hustle for a regular store.
Upon the square where the people
pass, he gobbled up corner that was
ali plate glass. He fixed up the win
dows with the best that he had, and
he told 'em all about it in a half
page ad. And soon he had 'em COM
ing and he never, never quit, and he
wouldn't cut down on his ads one bit.
Well, he's kept things humping in
the town ever since, an everybody
calls him the Merchant Prince. Some
say it's luck, but that's all bunk
why, he was doing business when the
times were punk. People have to pur-
chase and the geezer was wise, for
he knew the way to get 'em was to
edvertise.-E. F. Mcintyre.

MARKETING REFORM NEEDED.
They Say There is an Immense Gro,
Of Apples and Other Stuff i'm
Sight.

We are told that there is an i'm.
mense crop of apples in sight. We
presume this includes the Duchess,
our earliest cooking apple and right
now the specimens of this variety on
sale in some of the stores were ship
ped in from some other state, says
the Iowa Farmer. The same is true
of potatoes, cabbage, onions, let
tuce, tomatoes and the like. 1t does
not make much difference how abun-
dant such things are, commission
men persist in shipping in the stuff
in here and local dealers find it con-
venient to give them an order for
what they need. There are men here
buying up apples, potatoes and the
like and shipping them to other mar
kets. A year or so ago it was discov-
cred that car load of hogs purchas-
ed from farmer in eastern Illinois
was shipped to dealer in Indianapo-
lis, indiana, and he in turn sent the
animals to big packing house in
New York. A few months later the
hams and bacon from that car load
of hogs, raised by an Illinois farmer,
shipped eastward thousand miles,
turned up in wholesale grocery es-
tablishment in Los Angeles three or
four thousand miles to the west. At
least two thousand miles of the GO
ing and coming of that farmers pro-
duct represented duplication of
freight rates that would have been
avoided if the farmers hogs had been
shipped westward in the beginning.
All such performances indicate that
we are sorely in need of a reform in

Stock on a Spree.

An odd sight occurred last week on
a nearby Iowa farm, which created
amusement for a whole circus while
it lasted. The farmer had opened the
outlet vent to his silo in preparing it
for fall use, and quite little of the
fermented corn juice ran out. The
stock had access to the drink and a
very little of it gave them a jag
that caused them to do all sorts of
comical capers, the effects of the corn
juice lasting for quite a while.

wires?'" asked Judge lands. Good
