KELLER OLDSM0B|LE CARS
 DOUbLY FEATURED

Through the combined attdactions of their excellent exhibit in the automo- bile building, and the daily stunts of Ed Dooley, death- -defying handcuffed motor car pilot, on the dirt track, the Ferguson keeler company, Arizona agents for the O1dsmobile car was well represented at the fair
 Indicative of the hard usage possi- bilities of the Oldsmobile is the steer roping stunt, which Slim" Weier per- formed from a saddle strapped to the hood of the car. each afternoon in front of the grandstand After roping the animal Weier takes a half hitch around the pommel of his saddle and allows MT. Steer ample time to Dit his strength and roughhouse tactics against the stability of the big Oldg mobile eight. Needless to say that the steer invariably gets the worst of the deal, and not infrequently bawls for mercy
 The exhibit in the automobile build ing was one of the attractions at the fair which no motorist should have missed and which undoubtedly few did fail to observe
 On display were the Oldsmobile club roadster, the Oldsmobile eight road ster, and the Oldsmobile Scvlinder touring car. besides the International and Mack trucks.
 In an attractively decorated booth the cars were arranged along the left hand inner side of the building There was preponderance of literature de- voted to setting forth the merits of the several lines. and the public has indi- cated its interest in the products bv carrying orr great mass of this printed information.
 offlcials of the, Ferguson-Keeler company believe that the public wants to be shown things about the car if is to purchase, and working on tbis theory made sure to place every avail able bit of information in the hands of this same inquisitive public.

PREMIER, LIBERTY
 AND KING EXHIBIT
 |S WELL ATTENDED

Two specially prepared. "dolled up Premier cars. and an equally embel- lished Liberty, were perhaps the most striking features of the excellent eX- hibit which has been on display for the past week in the automobile build- ing at the state fair. entered by the Leach Motor Car company's Phoenix branch.
 These cars were painted. roofed and upholstered, especially for display pur- poses, and are nightly pleasing to the eye. Officials declare they have eX- cited much comment throughout the week, and many compliments have been passed on their attractive ap- pearance.
 The Leach company prepared a complete line of Premier, King and Liberty cars, and in cnarge of the eX- hibits were placed men who are Ia miliar with the cars assigned to them in such a degree as to enable them to explain to the visitor the several points of superiority of each in its class
 Irwin Green and Lowell Maxwell were given charge of the Liberty. E. G.. Brinkworth the Premier and Cap tain c. P. Meyer the King.

may be viewed by the prospective purchaser or casual visitor.
 The new magnetic gear shift is one of the attachments which was feat ured in the Premier car. Through this apparatus it is possible to shift the car from low inte- intermediate and from the second gear into high by merely pressing the foot on the clutch and pushing q button. Mechanical safe guards prevent the possibility of strip ping gears, and eliminate the difficulty sometimes encountered by drivers in shifting at the foot of steep hill where the use of low gear is neces- sary. after the car is speeded up to prepare for the changed gear. The confusion attendant to rapid gear shifting is absent. and thus the danger of losing control of the car ins a tight place is minimized.
 The booth occupied by the Premier, King and Liberty cars was neatly dec orated.

He also said that he believed the car would have covered the distance be- tween Detroit, Indianapolis.

is to use d construction in which the cords do not touch. This is just what the engineers do in making cord tires. Layers of cords are used, all the cords of each layer running in the same di- rection, each cord completely sheathed by, and imbedded in rubber. The cords do not touch each other at any point. In building up the body of the tire the layers of cord are so ar ranged that the cords run diagonally around the tire, the alternate layers in opposing directions.
 Tires made in this way far Outlast ordinary tires and are more resilient. This latter advantage makes them the tire to select when speed, power. econ omy and comfort are uppermost.
 Oversize Tires for Comfort
 Oversized tires were primarily de- signed for exceptionally hard service but have come into general use be- cause of extra strength easier riding cushion and longer mileage. In fact, experienced car owners specify the oversize tires, in many instances the original equipment of new cars. The resliency of larger tires reduces the traction slippage on rear wheels, adds to comfort and lessens vibration to the mechanism of the car.
 When oversize tires are placed on front wheels that were originally equipped with regular size tires. the overall diameter will be increased ap- proximately one inch and the speed ometer should be readjusted. other wise the mileage record will be less than that actually travelled.
 There is not enough added weight in oversize tires to affect transmission or differential or make any objection able difference in the power. The advantages of oversize tires, without the inconvenience or expense of chang ing wheel equipment, are features which man more certainty and pleas ure to motorists.

JOHN CURRAN CUTS
MANY FANCY FIGURES
Series of Mishaps Mark Sheepman's
First Days as a MOtOrist-J. G.
DOherty Gets Broken Leg.

The first days of John Curran, mo-
torist, have been filled with thrilling
mishaps, not unattended with serious
results.
Mr.. Currin was bringing the ]. G..
Doherty family into church Sunday
when the big touring car came to a
standstill while coming up a hill.
After several attempts to start the
car with the self-starter, Mr.. Doherty
got out of the car to push it back
down the hill. Once started, the car
made rapid descent and Mr.. Doher-
ty jumped on the running board to
assist In steering the car. The ma
chine stuck a barbed wire fence,
throwing Mr.. Doherty off the car.
He received broken leg above the
knee and also several painful scratch
es from the barbs. Mr.. Doherty was
brought to town for attention, being
taken to the Mike Kenny home.
Monday night Mr.. Curran was driv-
ing on Heppner hill when his car
plunged violently off the grade. Mr..
Curran was thrown through the wind
shield and a deep cut in his head re-
suited. He suffered a great loss of
blood but otherwise was uninjured.
The car was considerably damaged,
the front axle being badly twisted
from the impact with the bluff.
Probably there are but few people
who have experienced the thrillers of
early motordom that Mr.. Curran has
experienced. One of the good ones
happened last week, when through a
mistake, he put his foot on the ac-
celerator instead of the brake, and
as a result tore up about half a mile
of fencing along the roadside.

Please Return the Flag.

Sveral weeks ago, during the drive
of the Morrow County Red Cross
Chapter, the county gave one of their
big flags to the committee for use in
decorating one of the cars in the auto
parade. The car was later stripped
of the decorations, after the parade,
at the Fair pavilion. Old Glory was
gathered up with the bunting and
other material and stored away by
someone. The county is anxious to
get its flag returned. If these people
who took the decorations from the
John Vaughn car at the Fair pavilion
will look through their stored up dec
orations, they may find the flag, and
If they do, VIM. Ayers would be glad
to have it returned to him at the
court house.
