The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1916-03-02

S. Because there is no back pressure from
exhaust 4
Perhaps this statement does not sound important
it is exceedingly so. The DORT is equipped with a
dual exhaust, a feature rare indeed on four cylinder
motors. Consequently the burnt gases from each
explosion are carried completely away before the
gases from the next explosion follow. The result is
the absolute elimination of back pressure, a cooler,
more efficient motor, and-more power.
6. Because the carburetor is fool-proof
Fifty per cent of motor troubles are the result of inn
proper carburetion. Most carburetors are capable of
adjustment, and the adjustment of a carburetor is a
job for experts only. Yet owners persist in tinker
ing and regret it afterwards. Our carburetor can
be adjusted all you please; the car will still run,
and run we'll.
7. Because each working part is accessible
Have you ever paid a garage man many hard earned
dollars for some simple little job which anyone could
do in twenty minutes-if he could get at the parts
needing attention? You can get at any part of the
DORT in a few minutes, for adjustment, cleaning or
inspection. Don't pay money to a garage man, or
waste your own valuable time. Buy a DOkT.
s. Because the car steers SO easily
The reason is this: DORT cars are equipped with
an reversible steering gear, which will almost
guide the car itself, and which, will transmit none Of
the shocks of the road to the driver. You can drive
a DORT all day over bad roads, and your arms will
not be paralyzed: compare with other cars in the
same class.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1916-03-02

9. Because the car is comfortable
The rear springs are full cantilever, fifty inches long
the most luxurious spring suspension ever devised.
The upholstery is deep, the cushions springy, the
riding position correct. No fatigue, no discomfort,
no shock. You can't" know what light car comfort
means until you'v had a ride in a DORT.
10. Because the equipment is complete
A genuine mohair one man top livery convenient in
a sudden shower). a standard make s~peedometer, an
electric self-starter that spins the motor by a sudden
trio lights with DINNER attachment, electric horn,
demountable rims and non skid tires in the rear-all
these desirable features are yours when you buy a
BORT.
II. Because the car is built to wear
Money cannot buy better materials. Strength and
honesty of construction have characterized everv
product for which this great manufacturing organi-
cation has stood sponsor during twenty-nine years
Of practical experience-the BORT car is their latest
and finest effort, and it is SO built that it can disap-
point neither the purchaser nor the manufacturer
whose name it bears.
IL. Because the price is $3.50

"Then l should advise that you

possible. Show your belief in him by
requesting that he be assigned to the

night"
There was an odd little smile about
the corners of Birge Moreaux's mouth
when moment later he left the small
room and found Muchmore impa-
tiently awaiting him.
"Mr. Delorme wants to see you,
lieutenant" he said. "He is going to
headquarters with you. Don't stop to
talk with me. Go right in and find out
what the old gentleman has to say to
you"
MoreauX drove directly to the tall
building in Blank street where he had
his studio.
Oddly enough, less than half an
hour after he arrived there the man
called Crewe - he of the blemished
face and unsavory reputation-left
the same building by the rear door,
for the building runs through from
street to street.
AS he stepped outside and turned
to lock the door after him limousine
car drove rapidly through the street
directly behind him.
He did not turn his head to look
toward it. Had he done so he would
have recognized the car as one of
Richard Delorme's and he would
have seen the face of Lieutenant
Muchmore peering out at him from
the window in the limousine door.

face that night.
Christy ceased wiping the glass,

thoughtfully toward the ceiling before
he replied. Then he said:

Never mind that now," Muchmore
replied. Now, Christy, where is that
switch, and how do you work it?"
What switch, lute?"
IL want to know how those lights
were turned on and off so neatly" the
lieutenant insisted, still in the same
dangerously mild tone of voice.

Weakness of Moors.

A traveller says that curious
weakness of grown-up Moors is the
love Of eating newly baked bread.
The caid of Azemmoor, in Morocco,
discovered that old bread was
thrown away as waste. To waste
food is a serious offense in the eyes
of a Moslem. The caid of Azem-
moor therefore issued a bylaw pro-
hibiting the baking of bread upon
one day in each week. The citizens,
he declared. must eat up the bread
already baked.and he fixed Wednes-
day as the "bitalah," or holiday.

CHAPTER H..
That Same Night at crewe's.

Crewe stood with both arms out
stretched, his strong but delicate
hands gripping the inner edge of the
bar of his famous place in South
Fifth avenue.
1t was his customary attitude when
he was not wiping glasses or other
wise engaged.
The ugly, almost hideous biemish
on one side of his face, which shaded
from red to hue that was nearly
purple, seemed more pronounced Than
ever, although if he turned his head
20 that it did not show, and one could
see only the smooth side of his face,
one would unhesitatingly have pro-
nounced him handsome man.
There were possibly a score of
REGULARS" seated at the tables, which
were many, for the saloon was both
wide and deep; but Crewe's trusted
assistant, Christy, was attending TO
their wants. so that he was himself
unoccupied.
The hands of the clock above The
back bar pointed at five minutes to
midnight.
The front door opened and a tall,
darkman of the elder Hermann type
came swiftly toward the bar where
Crewe was standing.
He moved with peculiar grace and
ease that suggested both lithness
and great reserve strength, and his
black eyes under their heavy brows
were remarkably soft in their express
sion. Women would have admired
him-at distance.
Men would have shrugged their
shoulders and shook their heads if his
good looks were mentioned.
Crewe maintained his familiar atti.
tGde until the newcomer was directly
in front of him: then he said, still
without moving from his position:
How are you,. Sindahr? What are
you going to have" But, as il he
had known before he asked the ques-

ceptacles behind him and Brought

SERVIN HIS COUNTRY
And Cannot Come to Teach in the
Oskaloosa Schools.

No doubt the movement of the Ma.
tional Guards to the Mclean border
will seriously affect a number of
places, in regard to their schools.
Oskaloosa had not thought that she
would be seriously affected by the
movement, until Tuesday of this week
when the new Agriculture teacher,
John Brannigan, of the University of
Nebraska, telegraphed that he would
be unable to get here.
He is a member of the National
Guards, but had hoped for a release
from duty, and had accepted the posi-
ton offered in the local schools. Al
ter considerable delay, he received
orders from headquarters to report
for duty on the border, at once, with
absolutely no alternative. Conse-
quently he is down there swatting
mosquitoes while Oskaloosa is hold
ing the sack for good Agricultural
teacher. Dozens and dozens of tele-
grams have. been sent out during the
last few days, but Of course. at this
time of year all the best ones are To-
Gated for the year. Superintendent
o. p. Flower hopes to be able to fill
the vacancy by Tuesday, at least.

CONGESTION RELIEVED
But the High School Will Still Be
l.. Punched For Room.

The removal of the three depart
ments from the high school to the
Moose hall will relieve the necessity
of hall room classes at the high
school building for the present time,
but it will not relieve the other crowd
ed conditions which exist there other
wise. They will still be compelled
to use small rooms which are very
Poorly lighted and put up with other
serious drawbacks.
The removal of the Physics depart
ment has enabled them to enlarge the
chemical department to some extent,
and this is a wonderfully big help in
this line of the work.
Registration at the high school for
this school term has been just about
the same as that of last year, per.
haps just a trifle larger. At least
there has been no drop in the regis
tration and they will still be pushed
for Space and time at the building.
Tuesday morning at $50 o'clock,
all high school students are request
ed to go directly to the high school
building, regardless of where they will
be located later. Instructions and
supplies will be given out at the high
school at this hour. The grade
schools viii not be called until nine
o'clock. But it is imperative that all
the mothers in the city see that their
children are in their places at nine
o'clock Tuesday morning. If they wish
to enter school for the semester.

Col. c. j.. Wilson of Washington

he extended could not be doubted.
Judge w. G, Clements. of Newton,

address. He referred tOuchingly to
the absence of some of the old ia
