Two Wins
One Lost

The base ball season so far as
Linton and Hazelton are con-
cerned has opened with a rush.
Saturday the county seaters
hiked up the line and took the
Hazeltonites into camp by a
score of 9 to-. There was much
rejoicing in certain quarters.
Sunday the vanquished of the
day before turned the tables on
the victors and Hazelton took us
into camp by a score of IS to 2.
Much rejoicing in other quarters.
Well, the two games hand run
ming have proven that there will
be some hair-raisine perform
ances on the diamond this year
when Hazelton and Linton cross
bats from time to time. Hazel
tons lineup each day was much
the same. Linton's infield was
all out of position Sunday and
the outfield looked worse. Ham
ilton, who pitched the first few
innings Sunday, had rotten sup
port and was not in physical con-
dition himself. This explanation
is necessary to explain how such
an unheard ofchange should take
place in the relative strength of
the two teams in two days.
In Saturdays game Shier and
Hamilton did the starring with
the stick and Puder showed up
famously in the box. Shier
drew two doubles and a homer.
Hamilton got a homer and trip
let. Hazelton got five hits and
Linton 10. Suman also picked
off homer, and Fly, the Haz-
elton Indian, did likewise for our
enemies.
Sundays game started reason
ably well. Both teams scored
in the first. In the second there
was nothing doing. Hazelton
then scored one in the third
three in the fourth, four in the
sixth, one in the seventh, three in
the eighth and two in the ninth
Linton got another score in the
last inning. Hamilton pitched
until the sixth and then Erickson
relieved him. During the time
Hamilton pitched Hazelton
earned one score. 1t was punk
fielding that gave them the rest

Mohn gave them a chance to
score in the third by misjudgine

Mohn gave them a chance to
score in the third by misjudging
an easy fly. In the fourth errors
by Erickson and Kohl did the bus
mess, coupled with a couple of
hits. In this game Suman
showed up the best, getting a
neat triple which went for a
score when the outfelder threw
the ball away, also a neat double
that scored Kohl.
The two games demonstrated
that the next game will be a hot
one. Puder for Linton and Fly
for Hazelton will likely be the
mound artists. Fly is an Indian
twirler who has made a great
record west of the river. He is
said to be a nifty pitcher and a
terrific batter. Linton's new
men are all good and Hazelton
has rounded up some classy dia.
mond artists.
Eleven innings is what it took
to decide the Linton-Eureka con.
test Decoration Day. The final
score was 3 to 2 in favor of Lin.
ton. The day was extremely
disagreeable for base ball and q
heavy side wind made it almost
impossible to put up a decent ex.
hibition.
Linton started out in the first
inning with a couple of runs, the
second of which came as a result
of a sort of impromptu squeeze
play, with Hamilton at bat. Eu
reka picked off one score about
the same time. Then the play
settled down to a continual pro
cession of goose eggs, until neal
the latter part when Eureka tiee
the score. In the tenth and the
first half of the eleventh there
was nothing doing. In the las
of the eleventh Linton made the
run that tucked the game away

The great London Shows Con-
solidated, which comes to Linton,
June 9th, will bring special i'm
portations in the way Of all kinds
of new circus acts which have
been secured in conjunction with
a long string of the pick of
American performers. Every
department has been increased
extensively, and it is claimed the
exhibition of horses is the best
ever offered, among which are
the wonderful Dublin Grays, the
Big Six, who have captured all of
the prizes at the prominent horse
shows. They are valuable at

the finest turnout of any circus

was over.
1t is doubtful if another man
on the team could have done as
good a job at worrying the
catcher without actually losing
the decision for interfering than
did Kohl. 1t was just another of
those many little tricks that Lin
ton fans remember in Koll's
playing.
The wind accounted in a great
measure for the poor batting.
Any fly ball either went foul on
the right field fence or blew back
to the infeld. The Linton sup
port showed up nicely towards
the finish of the game. but in the
early stages it was rotten. Pu-
der, the pitcher, is entitled to all
kinds of credit for holding up un-
der the strain. He pitched air
tight ball, and, with reasonable
support, he would not have to 60
the extra innings.
The Linton lineup is still in
need of a little repair, but it will
be helped greatly by the next
game which is with Strasburg
here Sunday. Edwards, another
Iowa lad, who was unable to re,
port at the beginning of the sea-
son, will be here to take his place
in the infeld.

Pictures of Overland
at Local Theatel

American manufacturing methods
have probably reached their highest
development of efficiency in the huge
factories where automobiles are made.
For this reason, the views of the
immense plant of the WHY'S Overland
Company, Toledo, Ohio, said to be the
largest automobile factory in the
world, shown in connection with Ly-
man II. Howe's travelogue, at the
Orpheum Theater on February Hip
form most interesting feature of the
program.
These pictures follow the making
of an automobile from the time the
raw material enters the forges as bar
steel, to be formed into crankshafts
and piston rods by immense drop ham
mers, till the time the finished car
leaves the factory under its own
power for the final test.
The time and labor saving ma
efficiency achieved in the handling
and routing of material is clearly
shown in these pictures, possibly the
most perfect pictures of an industrial
subject ever made.
The pictures show the various car
parts in process of manufacture, and
the employment of some of the most
modern factory machinery in use, end
ing in the department where the final
| assembly is made on travelling chain
belts.
This picture, starting with the bare
skeleton of a car frame, that grows
as 1t moves into a finished automo-
bile, is probably the best exposition of
modern factory efficiency that it would
be possible to secure.

Utility of Motorcar
Accounts For Expansion

'The. percentage of car owners who
drive for pleasure only is growing
smaller every year." says George c.
Hubbs assistant general sales man
ager of Dodge Brothers, Detroit.
"Motorcars to-day are an economic
necessity and this is true particularly
of the cars in our class. Even the
wealthy man, who has one or more
big cars for pleasure touring, is turn
ing to. the smaller car with it's light
upkeep for business purposes.
I'VE had a striking example of this
Immediately after the last time Gal
weston was swept by the sea Nat
urally we looked for slump in bust
ness in the Galveston territory, but
| instead our representative there made
demands for more cars and specified
roadsters When we inquired we as
certained that the big men OF the
community, who were throwing them
selves heart and soul into repairing
the damages done bv the waters. were
buying Dodge Brothers Roadsters SO
that they. could get around the city
more quickly
at is the fact that more and more
people are buying cars from the utili-
tartan principle that the business has
grown despite the general business
slackening up in some sections of the
country. Cars are no longer luxuries
| but necessities. and there is always a
demand for necessities"

Hupmobile Shipments
Show IS Per Cent. Gain

With the successful 1916 New York
and Chicago shows over, officials of
the various automobile companies
have returned to their factories to
hasten production of cars in order to
meet the demand. Both the New
York and Chicago shows broke all
records for attendance and sales. to
say nothing of prospects, so that 1915
promises to be the. most successful
year in the history of the industry.
This is the first year that there has
not been a general policy of storing
cars by the manufacturers and dealers
for the Spring rush. but with the all
year touring types and the self
starter, which has allowed for gem
eral winter use of motorcars, the win
ter sales have been so great that the
factories have been unable to keep
up with the demand.
After his return from the Chicago
show last week, Commercial Manager
Lee Anderson, of the Hupp Motor
Corporation, made q canvass of the
of the company's fiscal year from
July last During the seven months
from July 1 to January 81 the Hupp
Corporation has shown an increase of
$50 over the preceding year" said
Lee Anderson. For January alone
LiS ISIO SIllpIuenlS were OGIC greater
than January 1915 These figures
are for shipments and not production,
and would have been much greater
had the shortage in freight cars not
occurred. During some days of Janu-
ary it was impossible to get more
than four or five freight cars, suitable
for automobile shipments, in the en-
tire city of Detroit
Realizing the freight car situation,
dealers at the Chicago show from all
over the Central and Far West flooded
the Hupmobile representatives with
orders for February and March so
that on February 1st the Hupp Cor
poration had an increase of 20SB
orders on its books for February alone
over last year.
"As a matter of fact we have ship
ped more Model N Hupmobiles in
seven months than we did it's prede-
cessor. the Model X in twelve
months. This, I think, shows the
healthy condition of the industry, as
our orders for the future are even
greater than our wonderful showing
in the past. This condition is not
alone with us, as l have reports from
other high-grade concerns which
show the same conditions"

MOTOR CAR OF
TODAY A WONDER
E. w. Shank Reviews Lesson
From Maxwell Stock Car
Fete on Pacific Coast

The motorcar of to-day-the light,
economical four-cylinder motorcar
such as four out of five buyers select
is practically twice as good and
costs about half as much as the car
which, three years ago. was a reason
ably satisfactory article.
This is a statement easily suscep-
tible of proof. Nor need we go fur
ther than these three short, lively
years to get all the proof we need.
Three years ago the contest board
of the American Automobile Associa-
ton sanctioned what proved to be the
most remarkable achievement on its
records up to that time. 1t was an
officially observed run in which car
covered, without a motor stop, q total
of 12,404.9 miles.
Motordom marveled. So stupen-
dous was the achievement that. for
three years, this car remained the en-
durance hampion-remained so in
spite of the fact that its parent fac
tory had, in the meantime, passed out
of existence.
But the champion of 1912 has been
dethroned. A 1916 Maxwell touring
car now wears the crown-wears it
with total nonstop mileage of 49,
O22.9, nearly twice as great as that
of the old champion. Again motorists
OF automobile endurance.
How great an advancement is the
car of the, present over the car of
three years ago is easiest appreciated
by comparison of the details of their
record feats.
The old champion weighed $500
pounds, travelled 12,404.9 miles, aver
aged 400 miles each day, covered 13
miles to the gallon of gasoline and
could be duplicated in the open mar
ket for 81, 500. It's run was ended by
the motors failure to perform fur
ther without repair
The new champion weighed 1850
pounds, ran 22,022.3 miles, averaged
500 miles a day, covered 22 miles to
the gallon and cost $655. 1t was pur-
posely stopped in perfect running or
der and in the final "a hours covered
its greatest daily distance-more than
$50 miles.
The feats of both cars are beyond
question. Both were rigidly examined
and passed as stock. Both made their
records under the most careful scru-
tiny by A. A. A. technical experts.
Both were fully equipped cars and
the motors which held the title were
both of four cylinders, avoiding COM
plication and retaining a characteris-
tic universal among cars that set
worlds records
ihclS 10 uellnlle reason Tor the
superiority of the modern type 1t is
reason based not on design but on
manufacture. During these three
years there has been no revolution in
engineering but manufacturing science
has made some wonderful strides.
Cars are built in quantities far
greater than three years ago Makes
are fewer but the great enterprises
manufacturing cars of this type are
yearly waxing more powerful and
more proficient. Their output has
cor"espondingly increased in all the
good qualities which owners covet.

PREDICTS RISE
IN AUTO PRICES
Hugh Chalmers Says Increased
Cost of Materials Due to
War

An increase of 500 in the price of
| the Chalmers SiX-40 touring car from
! 1880 to $1,450, effective March /,
was the sensational announcement
made during the recent Chicago auto
mobile show by executives of the ChaI-
mers Motor Company. Coming on the
heels of sharp advances in the cost of
| all raw materials, the Chalmers an
nouncement is expected to be the
forerunner of similar policies through
out the entire industry.
Raw materials have advanced in
price to new high levels in the past
few months, and the end is not yet In
sight. said Hugh Chalmers. I'VE
have found 1t impossible to manufac-
ture a car conforming to our stand
ards of quality at anywhere near the
former production costs. Rather than
sacrifice quality or cheaper our prod
uct in any way, we have decided to
advance the cars price.
L predict a general upward revi-
sion of motorcar prices all along the
line before many months. There is
no other way out for the automobile
manufacturer
The European war has been re-
sponsible, in great degree, for the
big increase in the costs of raw ma
terials. The tremendous demand for
steel, copper, tin, lead, aluminium,
sheet metals, and other materials for
use III tile manufacture OF war nlunl-
tions has made prices high and de-
liVeries uncertain.
"Vanadium steel, which sold at
S1.S5 pound only year ago. has
jumped to $3.50 pound. Aluminium
has nearly tripled in price, going from
10 cents pound to SO cents a pound.
Other sensational increases are: Steel
bars, from $1.10 a hundred to 50 a
hundred; high speed Steel from $1.05
pound to 1885; leather from 20
cents foot to SO cents a foot; copper,
from II cents pound to "a cents a
pound.
Added to the many troubles of
the motorcar maker Is the difficulty in
securing machine tools and automatic
machinery of the latest type. Factor
les turning out shrapnel and other
munitions of war have practically cor
rallied the output of the machinery
makers.
'Steel mills are making no prom
iseS of delivery within the six months
period, and parts manufacturers are
accordingly held up in their produc-
uon. Almost every concern in the
metal industry is turning down orders,
having accumulated a quantity suffi-
cient to keep them at top speed for
months to come.
''The situation can result in only
one thing-higher prices on cars
within the next sixty days. If we
find that materials continue to climb
after the 500 increase in price on our
car has taken effect, we will undoubt-
edly be compelled to again raise the
price. We have as yet, made no
change in the price of the Chalmers
SiX-30 model, now selling at $1.O50.
because this car is being built from
materials purchased last Spring"

Saxon Business Breaks
All Previous Records

Indicative of the remarkable prosper
ity of the automobile business is the
January record of orders just announc-
ed by the Saxon Motor Car Company
In the month just closed this company
received orders for 6792 cars for i'm
mediate shipment.
This breaks all previous Saxon rec
ofds, the total number of orders re-
ceived in January being more than
last May. when 1918 were received.
The showing is considered all the more
remarkable when it is remembered that
January is a winter month ordin-
arily dull period = while the best
previous month was in the heart of
the Spring. selling season.
The Chicago Automobile Show
brought in total of 3400 orders and
the New York Show 1000. These or
ders were placed at the shows by deal
ers who this year attended the big
metropolltan exhibits in greater num-
bers than ever before.
A striking feature of the record
breaking January business was the
number of trainload orders received.
A rev years ago the ordering of q
trainload OF cars was considered a big
event, but nowadays in factories of
large production, like the Saxon and
others, trainload shipments are not un-
common. II. w. Ford. president of the
Saxon Company, is authority for the
statement that trainload orders are
now on hand for Los Angeles. San
Francisco, Spokane, Dallas, Muskegon,
two trainloads for New England, be-
sides large orders for Des Moines, SYRIA
cuse, Minneapolis and other points.
The Saxon shipments for the month
of January were more than double those
of the same month a year ago In
fact. the increase amounted to 100 per
1915.
L. II. Hagerling. local representative,
says the local demand is in accord with
that of other sections, and predicts a
prosperous year for Saxons in this ter
ritory

Care of the Batteries
During Winter Months

The following information concern
ing the winter care of automobile
starting and lighting batteries has
been volunteered by Harry L. Myers,
of the Excelsior Auto Company, who
are the local distributors for Exide
batteries.
THE winter care of storage batter
les" says Mr.. Myers, has additional
dangers to that of freezing.
First the plates must be kept COW
cred with the electrolyte or rapid de-
terioration results, this is done by add
ing pure water as only the water
evaporates. AS the evaporation is very
little when the battery is not in use
refilling once a month usually cares
for this. If one cell requires more
water than another, it is an indica-
ton of a leaky jar which should be re-
placed.
Second, the internal chemical ac-
ton of the battery slowly uses up the
electricity, the plates then absorb the
acid portion of the electrolyte which
lowers the specific gravity, and when
the battery is entirely exhausted or
discharged as the liquid is then
mostly water 1t is subject to freezing:
but sulphation is an additional danger
as the plates will then become en-
crusted which will in time, render
them useless.
'The remedy for the above-men-
toned ills. is to run the motor and
recharge the battery when filling with
water, using a hydrometer to test the
state of charge which sholud not be
allowed to stand under 1900 gravity,
The better plan would be to remove
| it from the car and have it cared for
! by o battery service station.
"A battery should also be over
hauled once year and new separators
installed to get the full life and ef-
fciency from it.
This work should be done by bat
terry experts who have special an
paratus to do it computently."

pectancieS due to previous success at
the earlier shows The business trans
acted was far in excess of any other
that in New York.
There were good practical reasons
for Chicagos triumph. The so-called
sensations had been sprung; the fads
and fancies had had their little hour;
the public was more or less familiar
with the program. They were there
fore in a mood to examine, to consider
and to buy real motorcarS of known
worth and value and showed only q
passing interest in the sensations
Cars like the Paige-cars that had
demonstrated what they could do in
actual use and were offered as plain
dollar for dollar propositions built
along proved lines-drew the crowd
and captured the orders. The Paige
booth was crowded at all times by
people who knew something about
motorcarS and past performances.
There was less of the glitter. and
hurly-burly of a sensational enter
tainment and a great deal more of
the atmosphere of great commercial
exchange. People were really there
to buy real cars and that is why Chi
cago has proved the biggest success
thus far
But the really big feature of the
show and one that indicates clearer
than anything else could, the prosper
Gus condition of the country in gen.
eral and of the Middle West in par
ticular, was the record breaking sale
of Paige Skies. Orders actually placed
with definite dates of delivery speci-
fed. amounting to very nearly half
million dollars. Compared to business
done at the previous shows in any
part of the country, this breaks all
former records.

From a business standpoint, the
Chicago automobile show was the best
and most productive in the sixteen
years history of motorcar exhibit
tions. While the New York and De-
troit shows were far in advance of
anything heretofore experienced in
those cities. reflecting. as they did, the
general high pressure of prosperity
the industry is now enjoying it re-

on this fact, Henry Krohn, sales man
