MOTORISTS TO LEARN
FROM TOURING WEEK
Extended Drives Over Country Will
Round Out Education of Man at
Wheel. Says L. J. Oliver.

While the National touring week,
August SIP, will acquaint many thou
sands Of motorists with scenic wonders
previously little known to them, there
is even a bigger lesson in this affair,
according to L. J. Ollier. vice president
and director of sales of the Studebaker
Corporation.
The motoring education of an auto
mobile owners is not complete as long
as he confines his driving to the city
streets, or to short Jaunts to nearby
points outside OF the city," says Mr..
Ollicr.
He has to take a long trip to become
really proficient at the wheel He has to
become accustomed to extended tours
over country roads. The National tour
ing week will introduce thousands OF Just
such an experience.
1T was not SO many years ago when
motorist viewed long trips with doubt
that became almost fear. He did not
have the unlimited confidence in his
car or himself that he now has To-
day he sets out on a trip, no matter
how long, not only positive that he will
get there and back again, but also as
sured that he can make the journey with
out trouble. Studebaker owners are even
crossing the continent these days in
large numbers with nothing more in the
way of extra equipment than a spare
tire.

MOTOR COOLING
COMFORT FACTOR
Cooling Method Employed OH
bort Motors Eliminates
Excess Heat.

"One OF the problems of properly cool
Ing an automobile motor In hot weather"
says Etienne Planche, prominent college
lecturer on internal combustion engines
but Iossibly better known as tha de-
signer of the bort car, lis the adequate
circulation of air around the engine. The
water circulating system cannot he 6e-
pen6ed upon to do this alone, in very
hot weather. Consequently, IL .he motor
Is not going to overhead, r. large amount
OF air must be kept in circulation around
the upper part of the ensinc.
AS most motorists know, this is accom-
p!ishe5 by means of a p,lt driven fan.
Which draws the air through the radiator
and throws it against the engine. As
this sir passes through the myriad in
te1stlces of the radiator, CcCIuig the wa
ter, a considerable amount Of heat is
taken Up. AS it passes over the engine
proper it gets exceedingly hot. Unless
soEle provision can be made &c get rid
of this superheated air almost instan-
taneously the passengers in the front
seat will suffer severe discomfort As
a matter of fact, this is the case with a
good many cars, and some manufacturers
have provided devices to hold the fore
doors slightly open and let in extra air
from. the outside. Unfortunately rT'Ian-
titles OF dust are bound to accompany
this outside air and these devices are
at best only compromises for The real
remedy. In the bort, provision Is made
to get rid of the greater part of this su-
per-heated air before it strikes the under
side OF the foot-boards; one of the rea-
sons why the front and back seats of
the bort are equally comfortable, even
in the hottest weather.
Planchs is exceedingly reticent about
explaining just how he does this, claim
ing it is as one OF the factory's secrets
but a close inspection of the rear of
the motor and the under side of the
cowl. show exit air passages far larger
than is usual and curves designed to
defect the greater part Of this heated
air directly downward ard out under
the car, before this strikess the foot
boards at all.
As Planche himself admits. his orig
inal idea in laying out the cooling sys-
tenn OF the bort. was to provide extra
ing each cylinder and valve cage. and
then by means Of an ae-oplane type of
fan, directly back of the radiator, to
draw through an unusually large vol
ume of air at very high speed. The
two-blade, "aeroplane" fan was chosen,
for the reason that this type will throw
a greater amount OF air, than any other
type OF fan-hence it's use IN aeroplanes
The large openings in the rear of the
motor and interior design of the cowl
privided for getting rid OF this air
almost instantaneously, and before ii
could heat the fioor-boards Thus auto
matically this operates for the COM
fort of the driver and his compa anion
on the front seat, and accomplished
twofold purpose.

Charles L. Stafford, choirmaster of St
Georges Church, New York, is proud of
his chorus of 100 policemen. This organ
ization came into existence a few months
ago. when the singing of a policemen's
quartet suggested to Commissioner
Woods the possibility of a chorus. He
enlisted the interest and help of Mr.. SAT-
ford.
The Washington herald., 1916-08-06

that Ford holds at the present day in
the industry of the country is the best
proof OF the soundness of this line of
reasoning.
THE creed OF the Emerson organiza-
ton is based on the building of the best
possible motor car at the lowest possible
price, and We think that we have done
this in the Emerson Four From our
past experience with other motor COM
panies We believe that we can produce
this car at the price we have set and
that the quality will even improve with
quantity production"

NONSTOP record
MADE BY CHEVROLET
Fort Worth to Galveston Run Accom-
plished Without Stopping En-
gine or Wheels.

What is claimed to be the first real
nonstop automobile run on record was
recently made in Texas, when a Chew
rolet car was driven from Fort Worth
to Galveston, a distance OF 421 miles,
with both the motor and the road wheels
turning continuously throughout.
This novel performance was made by
Walter H. Beck. Frank D. Meeks, John
Griffith and ]. G. Randall, and the car
used was Chevrolet, model "Four-Nine-
ty." The run was started at three
o'clock on the morning of July 18th and
ended at 7:15 on the evening of the same
day Special arrangements were made
to I'LL the gasoline tank and to supply
the radiator with whatever additional
water might be required, without STOP
ping the car itself On several occa-
sions the passengers alightea from the
car in towns to secure supplies, but
the car was kept running in a circle
until they were aboard again.
The roads encountered on this novel
4Zl-mie run were about as bad as could
De found in the United States. Added
to the normal difficulties of the route
followed, there were stretches of deep
mud In view of these road conditions

TREES PUT KIBOSH ON
COURT HOUSE SEWAGE SYSTEM

Fred Garner, the custodian of the
court house, put on a pair of high rub
Der boots last week when the main
sewer pipe to the county building
choked up and the water leading to
the street was forced back through the
conduit to the basement where it
flooded things in general.
The estOppage occurred on Thurs
day and Fred. upon investigating, To-
Gated the trouble toward the street.
Wires were forced down the pipe and
when the wire was withdrawn, a mat
ted fibre came along with it. Mr..
Garner removed a measure full of fibre
but was unable to get out the princi-
pal cause of the trouble. Arrange
ments were made TO dig up the lawn
and clear out the sections affected, af-
forwards cementing the joints.
The trouble was really due to the
roots of a tree creeping into the inter
stices between the pipes. Once in
side the roots expand and grow until
they look like a horses tail. The on
~ remedial agent is to close up the
joints tightly.

LANCASTER YOUTH RUN OVER
SUNDAY; HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Kenneth Cramer, aged z, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. John Cramer Of this city,
had a narrow escape from death last
Sunday evening at about o'clock.
With C. w. Burrows and wife and son
Frank, Kenneth had been automobile
riding. The party let little Kenneth
out of the car at the corner of Oak
and South Madison streets, opposite
the German Evangelical church. Mr..
Burrows noticed that car was COM
ing south on Madison and cautioned
the boy, who, as he later found out,
did not hear him. The lad darted be-
hind the Burrows car and directly
in front of an auto containing five
passengers, and driven by Joseph Lou
thain enroute from Beetown to Platte
vile. The Louthain car passed direct
ly over Kenneth's body but caused
only minor cuts on his forehead and
nose, bruising his knees and one in
step.
Little Kenneth shed a few tears,
but asked his father when he got home
to buy an automobile Under the cir
cumstances it is remarkable that the
child was not badly mangled or in
stantly killed.

kinds. Already 1000 quarts Of straw
berries have been put up for next
winter 1000 heads of cabbage are
planted that will produce many times
that amount in pounds. There are
1000 tomatoe plants on the farm, and
1000 cucumber hills, sufficient to make
many barrels of pickles. Then there
are beans and peas and other vegeta-
bles raised in profusiOn.
The farm has at present 100 head
of cattle and is milking 65 COWS. 1t
has It's head Of hogs, and sixteen head
of horses and span Of mules. The
latter are not kept for table purposes
or for ornament, but they do a great
deal of the farm work
There are 1874 inmates at present at
the farm, most of them being state
patients. The state pays Grant $3.50
weekly for the board and care of it's
unfortunates and 22,838.54 is the sum
realized from all sources for the board
of the inmates Added to this is the
farm surplus of $2,O05.67, giving to-
tai of $24,S4321 The annual report
completed July 1, gives the farm a
surplus of $4,000 to go on for the
coming year.

HAWK "FOWLS" HIGH LINE
CAUSING POWER FAILURE

The power and light failure of last
Thursday morning was due to huge
hawk coming in contact with the thigh
line" south Of Platteville.
The bird had roasted on a pole
bracket and when he arose to fly
stretched his wings so that one tip
of the wing was on the ground wire
and the other On one side of the pow
er circuit. The result can be imagin-
ed.
A hole was burned through the body
of the hawk as large as ones fist. The
supply wires to the East End Mining
company were burned in two and fell
athwart the main line. This blew fuses
and caused other damage at the
PIatteYille station.
1t is said that had not the power
house been of fireprOof construction,
it would have been destroyed.

VALUATION IS
RAISED IN CITY
Of LANCASTER
BOARD OF REVIEW ACTS IN AC-
CORDANcE WITH COMMITS
SION'S INSTRUCTIONS.

The board of review for the city of
Lancaster met at the city hall last
Monday. Pursuant to orders received
by the state tax commission, Richard
Willis, assessor, reported the various
increases that will bring the valuation
of Lancaster property to about ST.
5OO,0OO-an increase of about $780,
900.
The increases affect the residence
property to a large extent where they
range up to Is per cent. On the bus
mess property general increases were
made of five per cent on that portion
south to the city hall from the Wright
House and west on Maple from the
Wright House to Hotel linda.
The property valuation in Lancas-
ter has heretofore been about SO per
cent on the average. The raise in eff
feet, brings the valuation up to the
actual value of the property or as near
as can be done. 1t obviously has no
effect on the amount of taxes paid or
the tax rate.

RELATIVE OF GRANT COUNTY
MAN KILLED IN ACCIDENT

Leo BARLEY and wife of Blooming
ton, visited over Sunday as the guests
of his brot her-in-law and sister, Mr..
and Mrs L. A. Clark. While here
Mr. BARLEY spoke in enthusiastic
terms of the merits and attractive
qualities of his little niece, Miss Mar
garet Elsen, aged 3, of Grand Rapids,
Mich The Bartleys returned home
Sunday evening and were ineXpress-
IDLY shocked to receive a wire from
Merrill telling them Of the death of
the little girl. The wire came from
Mr.. Willett, who is Mr.. Bartley's
father-in-law, apprising him that lit
tie Margaret the daughter of Mrs.
Bartley's sister, had met her death in
an automobile accident.
The Monday Sentinel reports it as
follows:
Margaret Elsen, 3 years old, was
killed; Barney Guerin, 40 years old,
suffered a fractured skull; L. H. Will
let received a broken hip, and A. A.
EIsen was badly bruised when Mr..
Willet lost control of an auto he was
driving near the station of Erna, near
Merrill, Sunday night, and the car
backed into a ditch, turned turtle and
pinned the occupants underneath.
Mr.. Elsen, with his wife and daugh-
ter, had been visiting for several days
at the home of Mr.. Willet, father of
Mrs. Elsen, and Sunday evening was
being driven to the train at Erna from
where he proposed to go to Marinette
where he is salesman for the Sawyer
Goodman Lumber company. Barney
Guerin, a farmer, was invited to ac-
company them. On a steep incline
before the station Mr.. Willet lost con-
troll of his car and it raced backward
and into the ditch. All occupants
were pinned underneath. Mr.. Willet
was the first to escape and securing
assistance released the remaining
members. While working to release
his granddaughter and others, Mr..
Willet did not realize that he had been
injured. The father carried the
daughter to the shade of a tree where
she died in his arms. The Elsens re-
side at Grand Rapids, Mich. The con-
dition of Guerin is serious, but Mr..
Willet will recover.

112 GALLONS OF HONEY FROM
SIN SWARMS IN ONE SEASON
Lancaster Citizens a Student of Bee
Culture Queens Cost Up to SIS.

Alex and Lewis Croft in the north
part of the city are famous fanciers
of bees. That is Lewis is, for he has
raised bees since he was a boy Ital-
ian bees are the kind Lewis likes and
he gets the queens from Ohio where
the bee industry in this country has
its headquarters.
Queens cost up to SIS, Mr.. Croft
says, and they lay for about two
years The queens come in fertile
state and breed only once in a life
time
Bees are not doing so we'll this year
as last when his hives Melted Mr.
Croft about $3.50 daily for some time.
Six swarms last years brought Mr..
Croft 112 gallons of prime honey, the
average being two and one-half gal

SWARM Of ANGRY
BEES STING VALUA-
Bile BULL TO DEATH

L. B. Roesch of the Hurricane, who
specializes in fine Holstein cattle, lost
valuable bull last Tuesday while
the family were in Lancaster attend
ing the celebration. The bull, three
year-old, valued at more than $500
was left tied in the orchard.
He was found that night lying on
the ground with his back literally COW
cred with bee stings.
1t is supposed that the bees had
swarmed nearby and being in fret
full state of mind, selected the helpless
bovine as an outlet for their wrath
The animals mouth and nose were
also full of stings from the enraged
insects. He lived through the night,
dying the next day.

Monday of this week.
Miss Brown was released about two
months upon her promise to go to
