Storm Trip Makes
Six Chandler Sales

Gus Bolton and E, V. Armstrong
of the Omaha Chandler company
were making a circle through their
territory last week, when the unex-
pected snow storm overlook them
and they got an opportunity to show
what the Chandler would dc III the
teeth of storm.
Garage men and farmers reported
road conditions very bad and predict
ed troublesome journey for the mo-
florists. However, Bolton and Arm
strong thought the glory due to the
Chandler for continuing the trip
would pay them for covering the car
with mud and ice, so they kept on.
Bolton says I'VE left Hamburg,
Ia, Friday noon on the way to Omaha.
The trip was completed in six hours
and every dealer enroute was called
upon. The car was a mass of mud.
but the motor didn't buck once dur
ing the run. Our dealers cashed in
on this run by bringing prospects to
see the car. The evidence was be-
yond dispute and our trip from Ham
burg to Omaha sold six cars"

Commenting on the feat, F. w.

Car company, said: This is but one
of the most famous hills that this car
has climbed to the top. Everyone of
our dealers in towns where there is
a test hill has been making demon
strations every day to those buyers
that demand this kind of performance
We have issued absolute instruc-
tons to our district managers to test
on hills if there is one within a
radius of fifty miles. And yet there

Automatic Oilers
Prolong Cars Life

Automobile manufacturers Law great
stress on the fact that springs must be
kept fabricated. Water collects be-
tween the spring leaves and causes
rust. Rust causes capitalization and
broken springs, Oil is the enemy of
specialization.
When spring is in action the
leaves are constantly travelling on
each other and unless their surfaces
are smooth they cannot do their duty,
The depressions in the roaA re taken
up in the tires and the body of the
car. This means rough, uncomfort-
able riding and increased wear on ali
parts of the car.
Lately several easy ways Of oiling
springs have been invented. Prob.
ably the'easiest and most efficient is
by the new patent spring oilers. These
little metal cases can be attached to
the springs instantly. \ They work
automatically, supplying the oil to
the surface of each spring leaf by
gravity and capillary attraction. They
are left on the leaves all year and
can be filled in a few minutes,

three sessions. when the. house was
organized upon that issue and having
witnessed the results, I am thoroughly
convinced that that should not be the
great overshadowing, predominating
issue in the selection of a speaker. 1t
is notfor the best interests of the state.
That issue will be brought to a vote
and whoever may be selected as pre-

bound to give each side fair treatment
and square deal. No man fit to pre-
side as speaker can or will do more or
less" ',}- E.,
There is no good reason why man
should not be chosen speaker on his
own merits. 1t is always the fellow
who is lacking in native ability who
wishes to ride into office on some
issue or hobby.
1t was under the skillful leadership
of Mr.. Warner that the county option
bill passed the last house. He is a
good parliamentarian, able and fair,
and he has the courage Of his convic-
lions. He would make an excellent

Apparently to discredit statement

Apparently to discredit statement
made in the Union that the mineral
lease law had been repealed in 1907,
and that when a new mineral lease law
was enacted undoubtedly a much
higher royalty would be exacted by
the state, the Mapleton Enterprise
quotes paragraph from the Mesaba
Ore which has not the slightest revel-
ancy to the royalty question. The
Union stated facts. The repeating
law referred to is chapter IA, general
laws Of 1907. And we might add
that, it is immaterial when a. new
mineral lease law is enacted. Any
iron ore that there may. be on state
lands can neither burn up nor blow
away, and it will never be less valua-
BILE than it is at present.
