STUDEBAKER HAS NEW
MODELS ON DISPLAY

The new series IS Studebaker cars
made their appearance this week at the
ElliOtt-Garrett salesrOoms. The stand
ard color of the new cars is a gun metal
gray with black tenders, giving the
car a rich appearance. A better quail
ity upholstery is used, while there is
a new stunt in dispOsing of the extra
tOnneau seats. They disappear Under
the regular seat. The extra seats are
equipped with arm rests and are very
comfortable
Mechanically. there are no radical
changes. There is a new arrangement
for hanging the motor and this is said
TO do away with any sidesway. The
radiator is fitted In a new style. while
silk mOhair is used for the top.
Manager F J. Garrett reports that
there is already big demand for the
new models The price is up a bit
said Mr.. Garrett, but the extra value
in the new cars more than equalizes
the slight increase"

Here's The Reason
Your Battery Does

The storage battery says II. H.

from il.
a storage battery is a chemical aD-
10 ratus consisting Of positive and mega
cive lead plates immersed in electro
lyte, a solution OF sulphuric acid When
the starting motor is used OF the lights
or ignition system put on the circuit. a
certain electro-chemical action takes
place between the positive and negative
plates in the presence of the electrolyte
ard electricity flows through the wires.
As this chemical action continues
TIE character of the plates change and
the current viii. ultimately. cease TO
flow and the battery will be dead. This
condition, however. is fOrestailed by the
generator. causing the current 10 flow
IL the opposite direction, or to charge
the battery
Charging the battery does not mean
that electricity is being stored up by
TIE battery. but that by means of cleo
tricity the plates are being restored TO
the condition in which they were before
The discharge began
Because il is chemical apparatus
then. and not mechanical like a ma
chine OF iron and steel the storage
battery cannot be subjected to wear and
tear of service without gradually de-
teriorat ting Even when the battery is
At rest some action is going on, ana
discharge is slowly taking place.
IN time the plates lose their capacity
for reacting to the electrical charging.
The insulation is all the time gradual
" wearing out and finally that gives
way. Even with the best of care and
with me best possible material. this is
going to happen with any storage bat-
t6rv.
But the battery does not always re-
Ceive the best attention II is the one
accessory on the car which the average
car owner seems to neglect The car
owner. however. should get his full
moneys worth from a good battery if
he gives il care. although. as we have
pointed out. he should expect to buy a
new battery some day. This is just as
reasonable an expense as buying a new
tire.
From the foregoing it is perfectly
obvious that batteries must be made
Of the best quality possible TO begin
with and then, if they are to be kept
in efficient condition. they must have
good treatment at the hands of the
owners. 1t is impossible to prescribe
any definite term OF life for a storage
battery. for its period of efficiency may
vary greatly according to the two fac

Excursion Enjoyed.

The Masonic excursion to Rock Is
land and down the Mississippi, held
Tuesday by the Aledo Masons, was
we'll attended and was a pronounced
success. Four special cars sent to
Aledo by the Rock Island Southern
we're we'll filled with Masons and their
friends when the special left at 3
o'clock Tuesday morning. Each family
carried their own basket dinners with
them, which were undoubtedly well
come at meal time upon the steamer.
The crowd was swelled at points be-
tween Aledo and Rock Island by many
Masons. There were about $50 eX-
cursionists aboard when the train ar
rived at Rock Island. The steam ship
Sidney carried the crowd upon de-
lightful river trip to point some dis
lance below Muscatine when 1t was
thought best to return to Rock Island.
The young folks especially enjoyed
the dancing in the fine dance hall,
while the older folks contented them
selves with the other means of pleas
ure making to be found upon such
steamers. Arriving at Rock Island on
the return trip the excursionlsts re-
turned upon the special which arrived
here about 1880 p. m.
These excursions will probably be-
come a regular yearly event for Aledo
Masons.
