Rein is making plans for a house

walls have been raised and the roof

Mr.. REIN has had letters from
Cadillac distributors in other sections,
asking for his plans for the new build

lures. The idea Of erecting double
building. with the driveway in the CEN

by other Cadillac dealers. 1t is Mr..
Reim's plan to have two separate
show rooms for the new and used
cars. The used cars will have a fine
display floor and by this plan all the
space in the shops will be devoted to
the handling OF cars in repairs and

SAXON WINS Big

STOCK MODEL DOES I?

Saxon "Six" has again demonstra-
ted its hill climbing ability by taking
first honors in the Oneida hill climb
in Illinois. Bill" Seacord. Saxon
dealer at Galesburg, drove the win
ming car which was stock model,
and negotiated the steep grade in
twenty-five seconds.
The Oneida hill climb is the big
motor car event of central Illinois.
1t is an annual affair and the event
was viewed by thousands who came
from all parts OF the state. For the
event the various entrants were
classed according to displacement
and the Saxon six fell into the 23l-
inch class.
Stock Cars.
Seacord took car out Of stock for
the climb and he says that it per-
formed like tuned racer. The grade
was exceedingly difficult and some
OF the entrants failed to finish at all.
A silver cup was awarded Saxon for
winning the race and it is the envy
OF all the other motor car dealers
in Galesburg and Oneida.
Last July Saxon six" was entered
in the motor contests at the San
Diego exposition and it won the hill

had to surmount a S. per cent grade
Ill faster time than the others. 1t also
carried off honors in the quick get
away and relay race. Its total of
points for all events was greater
than any other car.
This also was stock model Saxon
and it was sold before it left the
grounds Of the contest. The Saxon
Motor Car corporation has never
made practice of entering cars in
various contests and in consequence
it has never kept a supply of spe-
'cially built cars for use in racing and
other events. Every time Saxon has
gone into competition it has been a
stock model and the results that
Saxon has attained are the same that
could be approximated by any Saxon
owner 3.

Of
Storage Battery

R. c. Smith, manager Delco Exide
Service Station, in giving a history OF
the Storage Battery from its first
stage five years ago says: The motor
ist began to demand more luxurious
car and convenience, so the first thing
the automobile engineers thought
about was something to crank the
car, "a self-commencer," as we use to
call it. Their were many aspirants
for this job. Coiled springs, COM
pressed air tanks and tanks OF in
flamable gas were tried and it began
to look as If the job would never be
filled. About five years ago, how
ever, a candidate which had been fire.
quently suggested, but never until
then seriously considered, was
brought out, groomed for the ordeal
and sent in for "try-out."
This candidate was the storage bat
terry in a highly specialized form
working through the medium Of and
electric motor. A half million bat
teries are now at work for the Ameri-
can motorists.
Did you ever stop 10 CONSIDER Wnat
a storage battery is. 1t is not a
mechanical, but a electro-chemical
structure. A charged battery does not
contain electric energy, it merely
possesses the ability to develop cleo
trio energy by the chemical combina-
tion OF the active material in its plates
with the solution in which they are
immersed. The generator helps feed
the battery and build-it up by the
chemical action Of the active material
in the plates. You would not think
about going without water for any
length OF time, neither will your bat
terry. The only rule to follow is to
start with a good battery properly
built; then see that your generator is
delivering enough food TO the bat
terry; add water every two weeks and
a weekly health observation with the
hydro-meter to determine If you
really are getting the above.

HOLLAND ORDERS
MANY OVERLANDS
Shortage of Cars and Poor
Shipping Facilities Prevent
Much Larger Sales.
AUTOS TAXED BY BORE

That American automobiles have
satisfactorily filled the gap in Europe
caused by the discontinuance OF auto
mobile manufacture by the big war, is
the opinion OF Anton P. M. Ceur-
worst, Overland and WHY'S Knight
dealer at Amsterdam, Holland, who
is also the distributor for these two
cars in the land Of dikes land wind
mills. He has just completed visit
to Toledo factory of the WHY'S
Overland company.
Before the war" said Mr.. Ceur-
worst. on his trip to Toledo, there
were only four makes Of American
automobiles sold in Holland. Today
scarcely an American car lacks rep
resentation.
I'VE sold more Overland and Viii
mcknight cars during the last, year
than ever before; in fact, our sales
would have been tripled had we been
able to get the cars"
Lack Of Ships.
Unfortunately, shipping facilities
TO Holland have been very uncertain.
Ninety per cent OF the space on board
steamers bound for this country is
used by the Dutch government for its
own needs.
an Holland" continued Mr.. Ceur-
worst. ''the system OF automobile
taxation differs from the one in your
country. Over there we are taxed
according to the bore and stroke OF
the motor; thus. an Overland model
75-B with its motor OF 3x-inch bore
and 5-inch stroke is taxed $50 per
year. The Overland model 85-Six
would cost the same. while the
models Sab, So and 8s-Six would all
be assessed 500.
Gasoline since the war has become
quite an expensive item. Before the
war we paid rs cents per gallon, but
during the last two years the price
has doubled.
Sell for More.
Naturally, all American cars sell
for a great deal more in our country
than they do in the states; for in
stance, the model 75-B, the factory
price OF which is $685., is sold by us
for $i,i00 without tires. The WHY'S
Knight model SAB and the Overland
model IS sell for $1,000 in American
money. {
"The Willys-Knight car finds a
very big market in our country. I'm
like the situation in your country, the
Knight motor Is a very well known
motor in Holland, due to the fact
that the Daimler, Minerva, Mer-
etdes and Panhard, all Knight mo-
torcd, have found ready market in
Holland. However, all these cars are
very expensive. costing from $4,000
to $1,000. Naturally, when we can sell
the same sort Of a motor In a car
for $1,000, we can find market for
II without the slightest difficulty"
Mr.. Ceurvoorst estimates that IN
Holland, a country Of 5000, 600 itihab.
itants, there are about 1000 regis.

Afford Goes to
The Nash Company

w. H. Afford, formerly comptrol-
Ter OF the General Motors company,
has rejoined his old chief, c. W..
Nash, as vice president and comp
troller OF the Nash Motors company,
manufacturers OF Jeffrey motor cars
and trucks. He and Nash are now
working shoulder to shoulder, guiding
the activities Of the organization to-
ward greatly increased production.
Afford was comptroller OF General
Motors four years, during which time
he was in intimate touch in an execu-
tive capacity with the managers Of the
various units Of that corporation. At
the same time he built up wonder
fully fine acquaintance among finan-
cial and business men from all parts
OF the country.
The associations between Nash and
Afford extends over number OF
years, and the two, as Kenosha views
them, make a team with an aston
ishing capacity for work. Mr.. Afford
is probably nearer to Nash than any
other man in the entire automobile
industry and the big manufacturer has
always put the highest value on the
counsel OF his friend and present
chief aide.

The fine finish OF the exterior, the
handsome metal trimmings and the

ticeable. The enclosed cars all sug-

delight. The plated upholstery OF

purchaser may have his choice Of
many rich fabrics, which include ex-
elusive weaves. The seats are lower,

The silhouette of the hour is well de-
picted in the illustration of the one
piece frock shown here. The design Is
such that it may be developed i'll two
materials if desired. The gathered
side sections of the skirt, as well as the
sleeves and side body, might be OF satin
and the remainder Of the dress of serge.
Bone buttons form straight unbroken
line down the front from collar to hem
The collar is open at the throat, for
women seem to prefer the open neck to
the high, even for autumn wear.
Another frock typical of the style OF
the season is seen in the second illustra

ends in front in pointed tab falling
over the deep crush girdle. A tasse
finishes the tab. This lends fashion

TWILIGHT

[ m sitting alone in the twilight,
the passing hours;
Memories fit like the freight,
In shadows along the wall.
They come when the day dawn is fad
ing,
And the night is beginning to close,
Sad memories like sheep at the folding,
And lingering bides all the while.
They come and gather about me,
With arms that seem to entwine,
Till / think Of the days of my child
dream as I sit in the cleaning,
And list to the voice of the night,
Out of the vast land of mourning
Come voices that list to our call.
l think as fond memories come o 'er me,
Like shades of soft fading light,
Amid the low musical whispers,
There comes sweet loving earess.
The face is as fair as the dawning,
And sweet as the perfume of day,
That comes from the dew drop just
forming,
And trembling, awaits a recall.
T would that the sweet, earnest faces,
That come ere the evenings recall,
Might lingering, ever caress us,
And seek our true selves to recall.
/ would that amid the fell struggle,
The sweet, smiling face would abide,
And lingering, tighten our trouble,
When life's ebbing tide flows away.
The perfume Of roses ere linger,
And bides with the coming of dawn,
While fond, true loving caresses,
Need not to invite recall.
| The lingering caress in the twilight,
Fond mingling of hearts happy fears
Near mingle with life : troubled ocean
Or vanish with declining years.

AND PREPARED

The Republicans of Idaho are or
ganized and prepared for the coming
campaign. They are in better spirits,
more united and more confident than
they have been in recent years. They
are going before the people with a
ticket that they are sure will appeal
to the voters Of the state. There is not
a cloud in the sky SO far as Idaho Re-
publicanism is concerned.
The Democrats of Idaho are dis
cordant, hopeless and dispirited. The
faction that has been dominant in
party affairs for the past fifteen years
has been overthrow. There is no
enthusiasm over the nominee for gov
ernor and very little over the other
nominees on the state ticket. The
record of Governor Alexander does
not produce confidence nor enthusiasm.
In fact the Democrats seem to realize
that they are in losing fight and are
acting accordingly. Even their nomi-

them. The battle cries Of "too proud
to fight, - 81 kept out of the fight by
running away and "watchful wait
ing' with its attendant evils are not
the battle cries Of dominant, triumph
ant, forward looking Democracy.
So far as Idaho is concerned the
fight has been won. The Republican
party has occupied the advantageous
positions. The leaders are all at thu
front in this campaign. The fight
from now on is to convert defeat int
a rout There is no doubt but that tina
will be done.
The campaign was started auspic
iously at Boise Tuesday. The re-elee
ton of Mr.. Evans as state Chairman
was a very good beginning. The worl
Mr.. Evans has started will be carrie
on to a successful conclusion. TIL
fight for a great victory in Novembe
will be kept up to the last minute. Nj
Gregory, the newly elected secretary
has already shown that he knows ho'
a campaign should be handled. til
part of the work will be taken care c
properly. The retention of Mr.. Elmt

sensible thing to do. The members

BOOZE MAKES LAST STAND

John Barleycorn is to make his final
appearance in Idaho on Tuesday, No
vember Z, 1916. If he is the victor,
the old question Of wet and dry will
be up again as an issue, political and
otherwise, in Idaho, and if he is
knocked out, and he may be, the issue
will be dead in Idaho for all time to
come, for who under the conditions
and the public sentiment will ever dare
or be willing to champion the cause of
Intoxicating liquor in Idaho.
The matter Of the constitutional
amendment forever barring liquor of
the Intoxicating variety in Idaho will
be voted on by the people of Idaho on
