REMARKABLE RECORD
CROSS-COUNTRY RUN
Dr.. Robert H. Ellis of Portland
Drives 3,489 Miles in Twelve
and One Half Days; Uses
Franklin Car,

From New York City to Portland
Ore, a transcontinental trip OF 1889
miles, IN exactly twelve and one half
days driving, is the remarkable record
recently established by DR.. Robert H.
Ellis Of Portland in a Franklin car.
When it is remembered that the
fastest time ever recorded from coast
to coast va more than FIVE days and
was made by constant day and night
driving, with relays Of professional
drivers at frequent points, the record
IS all the more noteworthy.
After purchasing a brand new car
at the Franklin factory at Syracuse,
n. Y, Dr.. Ellis journeyed to New
York City. From across the country
to Granger, Wyo. where he branched
of to the Oregon trail to the Coltm-
bls river highway and thence to
Portland
An average OF eleven hours driving
was maintained every day, and $50
miles represent the greatest distance
travelled in single day. DR.. Ellis
carried three passengers throughout
the trip and was handicapped on sew
eral occasions by storms and slippery
roads. Exactly 200 gallons of gaso-
line were consumed and an average Of
seventeen and one half miles to the
gallon was made during the trip

idea which he anticipates will meet
with much favor among Omaha mo-
torists. Inside or drive in" service
will be the feature of the new service
station and the floor arrangement is
being made with this idea in mind.
The new company will specialize
in starter and generator work and in

PATRIOTISM STRONG
IN THE CASS SCHOOL
Children Whose Ancestry
Points to Countries Beyond
the Sea Taught to Love
the Flag,

At the. Cass school the spirit Of
{ patriotism is strong. Scores OF ma
tinalities are represented, but all the
youngsters shout for the United
States.
In the First grade room, where
Miss Lille presides, dozen different
flags are hung above the blackboard.
The tots know the Italian, the British
and the French flags and can point
out each, Blaek-eyed Italian maid
ems, cunning slant-eyed Chinese
and colored children recognize
each flag and can tell you about the
country it represents. But when the
teacher asks, (Which is the flag we
love best?" there goes up shout.
THE American flag" and all point
to the Stars and Stripes.
In the room are the Goetz Guards,
named in honor of Miss Goetz, the
kindergarten teacher, a great favorite.
These small boys march, present arms
and take aim with a fine military pre-
precision.
Going from the First to the Eighth
grade, in the Cass school, one finds
the same patriotic spirit. 1t is instilled
in the history and reading classes and
even the calisthenic drills show it, for
dunobb&ls arc replaced by flags i'll the
drills.
Socialized recitations are features Of
the work in the Eighth grade at Cass.
Those educated in the old way, where
by the teacher asked puzzling ques-
tions and the children answered them,
if they could, would be astonished at
the new system. No longer are recita-
tons tiresome ordeals. They become
little social affairs. in which each child
takes part and learns unconsciously,
The children ask the questions of
each other and have great fun over it.
Each child tells simply and naturally
about his or her reading and others
add to, or criticise the remarks. The
teacher listens and directs, while the
children gain practice in thinking for
themselves.

Healthy Skin
DEPENDS on Kidneys

The skin and the intestines, which
work together with the kidneys to throw
out the poisons of the body, do a part of
the work, but clean body and healthy
one depends on the kidneys. If the
kidneys are clogged with toxic poisons
you suffer from stiffness in the knees in
the morning on arising, your joints seem
"rusty," you may have rheumatic pains,
pain in the back, stiff neck, headaches,
pains-all due to the uric acid or toxic
poisons in the blood. This is the time
to go to the nearest drug store and simply
obtain Soc package Of Anuric double
strength), the discovery of DR.. Pierce OF
Buffalo, II. Y. Then drink cup OF hot
water before meals, with an Anuric Tablet,
and notice the gratifying results. You will
find that Anuric dissolves uric acid almost
as water does sugar.

ordinary building lot fifty by one hun

two cents, with ten years to pay for

500 will be assessed to the abutting
property along a frontage of 8,400 feet,
costing less than thirty cents per rum
ming foot. Personally I think a larg-
er percent of the cost should be as
sessed to the abutters.
The tax rate will not be affected,
the bill will be paid by the property
benefited.
I do not think there is anybody here
who is so cheap he will not be willing
to pay his little part of this necessary
Improvement when he understands it.
The proposed local sewers are pro-
vided for in an other resolution. they
are short locals for exclusive benefit
of abutting property owners who will
pay for them. The general public is
not financially interested II the
abutting prop erty owners don't want
them they can say so, it is impudence
for the other taxpayers to say any
thing at all.
If by any chance the town should
be benefited so that any part OF the
cost shall be adjudged to it by the
town board, which is unlikely, the tax
rate will not be affected at all. and
we will build our school house when 1t
is needed just the same.
The town trustees Of this town have
not increased it's tax rate for mu-
nicipal purposes for many years. They
have made its many improvements
without doing SO. The increase has
been for state purposes, by the school
corporation, for township library
which the people petitioned for. and to
pay for a concrete township road,
which tax the town does not levy.
If you will send a reporter over
with nose for news" and other things,
to make an investigation, l think he
can get material for mighty good
writeup for the town, to be used only
if the sewers are defeated, and I am
sure that after he has made his sur
vey, he will adopt the exclamation
that Mark Twain put in the mouth Of
one of his characters: Great guns!
