1t has not been so long ago that auto
mobile comfort was supposed to de-
pend altogether on the wheelbase. Every
salesman used the wheelbase of his ma
chine as the clinChing argument as to
why you should buy his car. Unless
your car was OF long wheelbase. 1t was
supposed to ride like farm wagon.
Today, design has forced this idea to
the background. While a certain length
wheelbase is necessary for riding COM
fort in machines OF any make, ii is not
the deciding factor.
Motor construction has undergone
change in the last few years. Cars to-
day have spring suspension that Is the
result of experience among owners as
well as factory design. Body building Is
science. as Is the question of uphols-
terry, and all tend to the easy riding quail
tiles of the car. Likewise, motors are
much more flexible and the car, as a
whole, Is better balanced.
The week OF pleasant weather has
aroused in the minds of those who ex'
pect to buy motor car this spring the
idea that II will not be long until spring.
As a result during the past week all the
showrooms have enjoyed more than
their usual number of visitors for this
season of the year. Some of these visi-
tors. believing in preparedness. decided
on the car that would meet their require
ments and placed their order, so that
when the springtime is really here. they
will have a machine in which to ride.

One day he met on the street a woman

three-now a prominent young business

James Hamilton Lewis took one look

The words were uttered in a manner
that carried conviction, and the proud
mother went home. glad to have had

Iour or FIVE lifepreservers.
One practical joke on Ollie James q
few weeks ago amounted almost to g
ira gedy. II seems that once in a while
ollie enjoys the thrill of placing a little
money on a horse race. Through friends
he was able to get excellent tips and
forecasts OF probable race results. Joe
Tumulty. secretary to the President. an
ingenious Joker, succeeded in interceptIng
OIie's source Of information and changed
II somewhat When the tip reached Ollie
he found himself advised to wager sos
at odds Of ten to one on a horse that
had never finished better than about
eleventh in its life. The special messen-
ger who was to attend to betting Ollie!
s2nN brought it instead to one OF the prac-
teal Jokers, who placed II in safe keeping
until after the race. There was no desire
on the part OF the jokers TO see Ollie
lose his 800. Their plan was to return
II to him in full as soon as the race
was over. and he had learned about his
horse losing-all except a few dollar:
which they would use for little dinner
at OlHe's expense.
But here was the horrible thing thai
happened:
OIlie's ten-to-one shot won the race!

STATE DEVELOPMENT.

1t is a sort Of invasion Of the domain of private enterprise, We
admit, for the state to engage in the development of its own resources
but the people are fast losing fear of the public ownership and
operation Of public utilities
The proposition to utilize the power of the Missouri river is a
case IN point. The people OF the state appear to be beginning to look
with some degree of favor upon the suggestion, whereas a genera
ton ago they would have been inclined to doubt the business sanity
of any man who would urge such a course.
The time should come when rural communities should have all
the modern conveniences of which the cities boast. The man who
tls the soil and earns his bread by the sweat of his face should be
able to read by electric light as well as he who derives his living
through the manipulation of Standard Oil stocks and bonds.
There is sufficient power going to waste in the Missouri river,
within the borders of the state of South Dakota, to illuminate prac-
ticaHy every home and in addition thereto to turn the drivewheels
in every shop and factory in the state.
The question arises whether we shall utilize this power-wheth-
er we shall use the states credit and the states machinery to make
this power available for the fresides and the industrial enterprises
of the people.
When Doane Robinson first suggested the Harvesting of the
Missouri river for the purpose indicated, and for the additional
purpose of providing means for irrigating thousands Of acres of land
on either side of the stream, the feasibility of the project was ser
iously doubted.
But the proposition is now conceded to be worthy of thoughtful
consideration. 1t is not a. wild and visionary as it may have
seemed.
Other dreams Of no greater practicability have come true. Why
not this one?
