-0-VACUUM BRAKE
IS NEW CONVENIENCE
ENABLES MOTORIsT TO BRING
HIS CAR TO A GRAD
UAL STOP.

The Prest-O-Lite company, makers
of the PrestO-Lite storage battery
and the Prest-O-Lite gas tank. have
developed and placed on the market a
"self-stopper.' which they have just
announced.
This latest automobile convenience
is vacuum brake which enables the
motorist to bring his car to gradual
stop with ease and smoothness, OF to
stop it instantly with a minimum of
personal effort.
The name of the new Prest- O-Lite
" self-stoppcr" is the Prest-O-Vac-
num Brake. 1t is a device of few
parts and can be used on any make
or model of car, large or small, having
the ordinary foot brake.
There is some similarity in the ac-
ton of the new vacuum brake and the
air brake systems on present-day rail-
way trains, because both employ the
same sort of cylinder and piston, con-
nected to the brake rods. But there
is this important difference, that the
vacuum brake operates wholly by the
normal suction of the engine. employ
ing no air compressor and no air
storage tank.

AGRICULTURAL STATES
BUYING AUTOMOBILES
MORE CARS BEING SOLD IN
THE MIDDLE WEST THAN
EVER BEFORE.

New York.-P. j. Colhoun, general
sales agent of Quaker City Rubber
company, returned from a western
trip where he has been compiling sta
tistics regarding growth in automobile
business, says: "Eore cars are now
being sold in the middle west than
ever before. Sale of cars thus far
this year in Indiana has been 100 per
cent greater than 1914. In Iowa one
person in 21-about five per cent
owns on automobile. In California
the ratio is one in 23- about Az per
cent-and in Nebraska one in 25, or
exactly 4 per cent. In the three states
mentioned one family out of every
five or six has an automobile.
"In Kansas 10000 cars were sold
in less than six months, and the
strange part of the business is that
three-fourths Of new cars sold this
year have been disposed of in agricul-
tural states"

COURT ORDER CHANGES
SATURDAY TO SUNDAY
L ITIGANT HAD RELIGIOUS
SCRUPLES AGAINST SATUR-
DAY WORK.

1t isn't often that anything of q
humorous nature creeps into the rec
ords OF any probate court, where all
matters whatsoever pertaining to
wills, estates, trusts, euardianships
etc. are settled. Occasionally, how
ever. there is something that brings a
smile.
Application was made before Judge
Jere b. Leslie, in the district court of
Cascade county, for letters of guard
lanslllp in connection with an estate
involving minors. The court was about
to set the following. Saturday for the
hearing. when the applicant, wom-
an, stated that she belonged to a
church which did not believe in work
ing on Saturdays and asked for q
hearing on Sunday. The court there
upon made the >followlng order:
- In the matter Of the estate of
Andrew J. Lofsren and Jennie Lof-
sren, minors, such applicant for the
issuance of letters of guardianship by
her counsel having appeared and rep
resented to the court that such appl-
can't entertains religious scruples
against the doing of secular work on
Saturday, and the court being equally
scl'upulous about doing secular work
on Sunday, 1t is hereby ordered that
the hearing of such application be. and
the same hereby is, continued until
Monday.''

MILK RIVER ORGANIZES
TO GROW SUGAR BETS
MILK RIVER VALLEY DEVEL-
OPMENT LEAGUE TO BE
FORMED SHORTLY.

Delegates from all towns along the
Milk river will meet in Malta at an
early date for the purpose of organic
ing the Milk River Valley Develop
ment League, the purpose Of which is
to induce farmers to plant a large
acreage to alfalfa so as to prepare the
ground for sugar beets, admittedly the
most prosperous crop that can be
grown ON irrigated land. The Malta
Commercial club is back of the idea.
and q number of towns of the dis
trict are cooperating with the organ
ization.
The towns interested in the league
stretch from Chinook to Nashua, and
the movement is inspired by the pos
sibilitv of the construction of a sugar
beet factory somewhere in the Milk
river country. Tests or the soil are
said to indicate its adaptability to
sugar beet culture.
