BIG LAND DEAL is
CLOSED AT HOSMER

Hosmer. S. D.. Nov. 22.-One of the
biggest land deals of the year is now
being closed here. 1t involves 1924, 900
worth of property. John H~eckenlaible.
president of the Hosmer State bank, is
trading 2,210 acres of Edmunds county
land for 992 acres six miles southeast
OF Memo, Hutchinson county, and is
paying q cash difference of $31, 600.
The Hutchinson county land Is VAL
ued at $l25 per acre. In case of the
Edmunds county land 320 acres are put
IN at $3.50 per acre, 1,410 acres at
$3.50 n 4S0 acres at $62.50. Chris
tlan Ulmer and his four sons, on
Hutchinson county, get the Edmunds
county land n will move here in
March. They will raise feed crops and
live stock rather than go into extensive
wheat raising. This means much to
this section, as the Timers are corn
raisers.
Mr.. H~eckenlaible will not change his
location. He plans to sell his Hutch
inson county holdings in the near flu
ture and reinvest in cheaper land in
this part of the state.

c.. B. Rice Joins

With the appointment of c. B..
Rice to the position of retail sales
manager of the King Motor Corpora
ton, at Broadway and Fifty-second
Street, Joseph Porter has rounded
out a particularly strong selling or
ganization in this city for the sale
of King IS" cars. Associated with
Mr.. Rice are ]. Fl. San julie, whole
sale manager, and A. T. Hiscox, in
direct charge of the service depart
ment.
Mr.. Rice assumed his new duties
on September /. His experience goes
back to the early COS. He is best re-
membered in connection with the
great success Of the Baker Electric
in this city ten or twelve years ago.
From New York Mr.. Rice went to
Utica to handle the Packard and
Cadillac lines. Later he headed the
Bronx Ford Company, and until his
acceptance Of the retail managership
of the King he was identified with
the Rogers Motor Corporation in this
city.
Mr.. Rice's new connection is one
nest attractive, and with the broad
experience he brings to bear in the
retailing of the King car all records
in the matter of sales should be
smashed during the season of 1917.

time it inspired us with feeling OF
confidence and reliability. Soon we
were again on the Hudson Boulevard,

the speedometer showed that we had

shown economy, and at the same time
it had been comfortable and efficient.

Day of Heavy
Automobile Gone
Significance of Constant
Reduction i'm
Weight.

There can be no question that the
day of the heavy automobile is over.
No change, although it has been
gradual, has been more significant
in motor car design than the con-
slant reduction in the weight of
chassis, motor and body. There is a
point, of course, beyond which this
process cannot be carried without
danger to structural strength. How
ever, there is as yet no indication
that the makers have taken any
chances with this factor of safety.
The very material reduction which
the last few seasons has seen in the
weight of the finished car has been
made possible by several factors.
Chief among these is undoubtedly
the improvement in materials avail
able for automobile manufacture.
Although it has not been heralded
with any great blowing of trumpets,
the recent advance in the treatment
of steels and alloys has been surpris-
ingly great.
In consequence, where heavy cast
ings and great solidity were former
ly necessary to give sturdiness to
such a powerful piece of machinery
as the motor car, smaller and far
lighter parts, with an equal or great
er toughness can now be employed.
In this change aluminium and its al
Toys and certain specially heat
treated steels have played the most
important part. The great demand
for these metals caused by the war
brought about for time condition
which threatened to obstruct or de-
lay the progress of automobile build
ing. This demand for raw materials
did, indeed, bring an increase Of
from $50 to $3.50 in the price
of many makes of cars. This in
crease came, oddly enough, just at
the time when the general tendency
was for lower prices as well as light
err weight. The manufacturers have
wisely decided, however, to charge
more for their product rather than
to take a backward step in the quail
ity of materials used. 1t is one of
the indirect costs of the war which
the buying public shows every dis
position TO pay cheerfully. There
fore it is not surprising to see that

1917 models as have been introduced

Marmon, of the Nordyke & Marmon
Company, Of Indianapolis, has been

Speedway officials to act as referee IT..

Mr.. Marmon will be the supreme

second time this season during the
day of the race. He filled the same
position in the 300-mile champion
ship race held here last May, in a
manner which showed him to be com
petent in the highest degree.
The appointment of local man to
act as referee instead of seeking an
official out of the city is a policy in
augurated by the Indianapolis track
officials prior to the last event. 1t

apolis money which made Americas
first two and one-half mile speedway

Woman the Better

that is in their selection of neiU

There is something about the
Dodge that makes you feel as II II
would go almost anywhere. 1t Is
light. but the power developed by Its
four-cylinder engine Is convincing.
This is the conclusion we came to
after a day with the roadster on
Tuesday. We decided 70 make a run
Up to Lake Hopatcong. We did not
realize that the roads there would
serve 10 show off the car as well as
they did. Perhaps if we had, we
should have been loath TO take them.
We had been told that the roads were
moor. but we did not realize how poor
till we got out on them. Even so,
hone was with us-we were constant
~ expecting to strike better ones any
minute. Anyway, we had a good
time, and by night we were well con-
WINGED of the qualities Of the car.
IL was Just 1880 o'clock IN the
morning at the salesrooms when we
settled ourselves in the wide, softly
cushioned seat of the roadster,
stretched out, to be good and COM
Portable and ready for a fine, long
drive. The sun was bright but we
had the top up, and the wind was
cool and crisp. 1t was just the kind
of a day TO make every one envy you
your trip.
The driver put his foot on the
starter and the smart little car was
alive. ready to start. We swung
down TO the Forty-second Street
ferry. and in Jersey City followed
the Hudson Boulevard to the Plank
Road. The morning was crisp, we
were on good roads and the little
car, responsive to the driver, shot
forward, picking up to fifty miles
an hour.
In Newark we followed Market
Street to the Court House, then
turned to the left on Springfield Ave
nue.. This led through lrvington and
Springfield. Ii was just outside OF
Springfield that we began TO go
through really pretty country. Here
were thickets of green, shady trees
with beds Of full blown goldenrod,
adding dashes of vivid color, Here
were good roads, too.
of Toward Morristown.
Out of Springfield, following the
car tracks, we still found good roads.
The regular Morristown Road was
closed. due to construction, so we fol-
lowed the road at the left, Morris
Avenue. We were going through
rolling, green hills and restful, cool
country. The ride itself was so en-
ioyable, and the roads so good, that
miles stretched away behind US
faster than we realized. Soon we
were in Summit and were directed
to take the River Road.
This led through more picturesque,
inspiring country, but here the roads
were choppy. 1t was surprising how
easy the little roadster took the
bumps. As it is light and a roadster,
we were much surprised. There was
no discomfort in even the worst
spots.
Through Chatham and on good
roads again to Madison, through
Madison's winding, shady streets, we
came out on a road that wound high
to the tops of the hills. Miniature
valleys lay far below us, and we
caught occasional glimpses Of lily
