The. heavy rain storm of early
Saturday morning furnished the
parched ground with much needed
moisture. Here in Langdon the rain
fall is reported as having measured
.78 of an inch. At the experiment
farm east of town the measurement
is given by Manager Stewart as hav-
ing been SO of an inch. The rain
certainly was needed and came just
at a time when it saved much of the
crop that was being burnt up by the
prolonged hot dry spell.
Yesterday E. D. Stewart of the
Langdon experiment farm stated to
the Democrat that the crop outlook of
this section Of Cavalier county has

been noticeable on the late SOW crop
since the heavy fog that prevailed
last Thursday morning at sunrise, the
condition having been aggravated as
the crop matured. Mr.. Stewart, how
ever, is of the opinion that the late
weather conditions of the past forty
eight hours lave had a tendency to
hold the spread of the disease in
check.

Under the name of the Circle Tire Com
pany, Richard Israel, who has been in
the tire business for the last three years,
has taken the agency for the Miller Tire.
He has leased a salesroom at 1914 Four
teenth street, just above Thomas Circle.
Perry kinyOun, formerly with the Rec
ord Auto Company, hereafter will handle
the Allen car for the Motor and Tire
Sales Company.
E. II. JOhansen, mana ger of the United
States Tire Company, predicts that, de-
spite the car shortage and the Conse-
quent loss of sales by dealers, which, of
course, means less tires sold, that the
coming season will far exceed all past
records in volume of tire business done.
How much is a secondhand car worth d?
This question has been asked ever since
the automobile industry reached the dig
nifty of business. Naturally, the answer
to the question would be only so much
as it can be resold for. Be this as it may,
1t does not always follow that this is all
that will be allowed for 1t as part pay
ment for new machine.
Many dealers adhere to the rule that
they will only accept used machine as
part payment on a new car for the
amount that it will bring on resale In
fact, some of these dealers refuse to
make a fiat allowance. They will agree
to take the car to sell and let the sale
price apply on the purchase price of a
new car
There are others, however, who seem
to think that sale is a sale and simply
because the prospective purchaser will
not accept the true value for his ma
chine instead of placing an exhorbitant
one on it, they must allow him, if not
all, most everything that he asks.
Naturally the used car is worth more
to its owner than to anyone else. He
probably still has a certain amount in
vested In the car that he. does not figure
his use from the machine has paid for.
Naturally this unused equity is value
to him, but not to anyone else. The
buyer will pay what the car is worth to
him and no more. The question of ex-
horbitant allowances for secondhand ma
chimes has become more or less of an
evil
In a number of instances the dealer
has allowed his enthusiasm to make a
sale get the better of his Judgment, and
after the deal was closed and he had
had time to think 1t over found that all
his efforts in swinging the deal had re-
suited in but very little, If any, profit.
Actually figuring after giving the service
to which every purchaser of a machine
is either entitled to by right or at least
feels that should go with the sale OF
the machine the agent has been out
money.
Secondhand cars are a problem, money
is tied up in them and oftentimes il
remains there for a considerable length
OF time. While this money Is tied up
in this manner IL is bringing in no re-
turn Also, a secondhand car occupies
Just as much space as a new machine.
There are some people who when in the
market for a car do not stop to go into
the merits of the machine they have in
mind. If the agent will agree to allow
sufficient for their old machine that is
all they ask. It is the big idea In their
mind.

The Germans have odd-looking uniforms

These numbers mystihed some of the

MADE DAN BROUTHERS.
Jim O'Rourke Gave Famous Player
Another Chance.

One of basehall's historians gives to
Jim O'Rourke the credit for making Dan
Brouthers famous.
After Brouthers had failed in try
out with the Troy club" says the writer.
he went back to his old job OF laying
sewer pipe, resolved to quit the diamond
for all time.
= a short time afterwaTd Jim O'Rourke
became manager Of the Buffalo club.
That was in the early sos. One of the
first things O'Rourke did was to round
up Brouthers and offer him a contract.
O'Rourke had seen big Dan in action
and looked upon him as a diamond in
the rough. After some persuasive talk,
O'Rourke got Brouthers' signature to the
contract. What happened afterward is
history"

IN the United States could have been Sc

When the Jockey Club decided to offer
to the farmers and horsebreeders of New

oughbred horses OF the proper type, the
first application for a sire came from
the Genessee Valley, and there was a
ready response to the appeal.
There Is no doubts concerning the OUT

the economic benefits which will accrue
to the country, there is a special in
