STRAIGHT FOR TOWN

In the West the tendency is to run
roads on section lines. This is not
always the best way. The diagonal
road cuts down the distance to town
and also uses up less land. The right
of way for a rod road on two sides
of section is 16 acres while it is but
II 1-3 acres for diagonal road. The
diagonal road saves 2-3 acres of land
and is nearly 2-3 mile shorter. A
few diagonal roads will be great saw
ing. For instance, the person living
5 miles south and miles east of town
in making return trip will have to
travel 20 miles If the section lines are
followed and but ID if the roads runs
diagonally. The diagonal road cuts
down the distance by over 40 per cent.
In other words 3 trips can be made to
town on the diagonal road while two
are made on the section line road.

DORT DUAL EXHAI ST MAKES
WONDERFUL INCREASE
in MOTOR EFFICIENCY

The remarkable efficiency of the
high speed long stroke bort motor
Is dependent upon a number of unique
features, which have been incorporat-
ed into its construction by it, designer
Mr.. Eticnnc Planche, formerly of the
l'cugeot Co. of Paris. One of these
features in particular, the bort dual
exhaust, is responsible for gain of
nearly II per cent in horse power, As
| shown in Il series of recent engineer
ing tests.
| In making these tests the bort
dual exhaust pipe was removed and
the ordinary single exhaust tube gen
orally found in motors of this class
was substituted The engine was
then put through series of brake
morse power tests at various rates of
speed from six to for,y-iivc miles an
hour. Then the exhaust was rcmov-
ed again and the bort dual type
which Is standard equipment on all
bort cars, put back on again. A
similar series of tests was then made
and plotted out on power curves, as
the first tests were registered. 1t
was expected that the dual type of cx-
haust would show an increase in
horse power and efficiency but that
gain of IL per cent would be register
ed was surprise to all concerned
\ ll<, tr.:I L.,

builders and the bort Motor Car Co.
was not notified of them until they
were complete.
For the benefit of those motorists
to whom the dual type of engine ex-
haust is not familiar the dual exhaust
may be simply described as two sep
aratc exhaust pipes cast in one piece.
The object of this form of casting is
to allow the cylinders to exhaust
alternately first into one pipe and then
the other. This allows the exhaust
gases of cylinder No. to be carried
away before cylinder No. q the third
cylinder in the bort firing order ex-
hausts into its separate section and
its gases have had ample opportunity
to pass out, at even the highest motor
speeds, before cylinder No. 2 the last
cylinder in the firing order again ex-
hausts into the same passage. This
feature in the bort motor costs about
two and one half times as much to
cast, but back pressure is entirely
eliminated and the bort people feel
that the extra expense is we'll war
ranted. The bort is distributed at
Oakes by Elmer & Johnson.

DUST PREVENTION

Dust is one of the nuisances of a
road. 1t is disagreeable both to the
traveller and to one living near the
road. In many places the roads are
oiled but this is expensive. The road
drag is good dust prevention, and the
cost of using it is small. Much Of the
dust in the road comes from the wear
ing down of ruts and the ruts
were formed in the road because
water stood in it. The road bed that
is we'll crowned in the middle and
packed hard will not loosen up much
in wet weather and if no ruts are
formed there will not be much material
to form dust. The best implement
for crowning the road bed is the King
Road Drag. 1t should be run over the
road after every rain. In this way
the soil is laid on the road bed in thin
layers and is packed on.
When the road bed is hard and
crowned in the center it will hold just
about the right amount Of moisture
unless it is sandy. Grass and weeds
growing along the road bed send their
roots under it and thus remove the
moisture that holds the soil within
several feet of the travelled part of the
road.
Clay or loan will pack hard when it
contains the right amount Of moisture,
when too wet it becomes soft and
when too dry the soil grains do not
stick together. The best way to keep
fair amount of moisture in the road
bed is to keep it at least Is inches
above standing water. To keep il
packed hard and we'll crowned in the
middle and to keep a strip on each

Democratic Contest Unsettled
The democratic national committee

light vote polled throughout rural pre-
cincts, because of bad road conditions,
the few returns that are available fail
to give any clear idea of the outcome.
On the returns at hand, Perry seems
to lead Bruegger. In IS scattering

Out of 26 precincts in Dickey coun-

Perry has 322 votes to 22 for Brueg-

In the same precincts LaFollette

Gunder Olson for national commit

LAMERN JARVIS

Hannah Lamcrn Jarvis was born in
Battle Creek, Iowa, April 16, 1894,
and died at her home in Oakes, North
Dakota, March II, 1916. Three
years ago she had a severe attack of
rheumatism from which she never full
ly recovered, and the sudden death of
her mother two years ago gave her Il
nervous shock which left her in condii-
ion for other ailments to easily take
hold on her. The past few months she
wanted and had the almost constant
care of her father, though she was not
unmindful of, and highly appreciated
the almost equal and kindly attention
and help Of the many lady friends.
She often spoke of the heavy debt
their kindness and loving attention
was placing on her and wondered how
she could ever repay them. They
kindly reminded her that they were
not doing it for repayment but for
love, and that when she was able she
could pass it along to others.
In early girlhood she gave her
heart to her Savior and learned to
love him deeply. Her constant aim
and desire was to do his will and
please him. She loved to read and to
have read to her the words of Jesus
where he said; "In my fathers house
are many mansions: if it were not so
l would have told you. go to pre-
pare a place for you. And If I go
and prepare a place for you, l will
come again and receive you unto my
self; that where l am, there you may
be also" Just before she went into
her last earthly sleep she said, II love
you papa, and l love Jesus, too and he
is with me- She slept quietly and
peacefully from 5 to s:2O A. M. when
she awoke safely in her eternal home
with her Savior and her God and with
her loved ones of earth who had pass
ed on before.
She was good girl, always careful
and thoughtful for the welfare and
happiness of others. Only those in
her home can know and appreciate her
as she lived for, and ioved them.
Her place in the home is vacant and
she is missed and deeply mourned.
She leaves her father and fiance, and a
large circle Of friends to remember
her in sadness as we'll as in joy. The
funeral services were held in the
Methodist Church at one o'clock P. NJ
Monday, Rev. James Opio, her pastor
officiating. Her remains were taken
to her girlhood home at Hayelock,
Iowa, and laid to rest beside her
mother and brothers.
