made by the Minneapolis 4 ST. Louis
railroad for the building of the public
Highway TO Marietta. The company
, has offered $1,130 and has authorized
the county to bill on 1t for that amount
because by eliminating two grade
crossings Of the Story City branch the
company will be relieved OF most of
the hazard of accidents and cost of

Some time ago it was pointed out to
the railroad company that the change

part Of the inter county system and Is

that was appointed increased this
amount to over $1,000 in little more

where the old bridge stood. FIFTY
yards south of the old bridge the road
had been marked off by guard rail as
warning that there was danger
ahead. The persons driving the
Roundy car had gone thru this guard
rail at breakneck speed and pitched
headlong into the spot where the old
bridge stood. The brake was not set
when the car was found this morning.
The car was badly damaged. the front

broken, and front axle broken.

LOCAL COMMENT
MIX inspection ought to be an easy

Milk inspection ought to be an easy
service for the city council to inau-
gurate, according to the response given
the suggestion from milk producers
and diaries. OF course, it might tran
spire that this prompt desire to well
come inspection was-inspired by the
advertising to be had from the public
statement, but that very possibility
merely suggests again the need for
public inspection of the milk supply.

The Marshalltown Ad Club is en-
titled to the praise it is receiving for
it's assistance in promoting the liberty
loan and Red Cross campaigns with
its power of publicity. Big men in the
nation are awake to the tremendous
power of advertising, and of recent
years they have been using the dyna-
mic force of publicity in their organ

well as in the promotion of their pri-

Condition
At Kansas City the clouds lifted. the
sun shone and the rest of the run to St.
Louis was made without incident.
Despite its all but unsurmountabled diff
culties the Studebaker car arrived in St.
Louis only 2h hours behind schedule in
perfect running condition and having only
changed one tire during the entire trip.
So well had it come through its terrible
experience that the car was driven on to
Detroit to the Studebaker factories with-
out any overhauling whatsoever.
This performance is further proof Of
the remarkable durability of Studebaker
cars-a durability that is due to one
thing only the mechanical perfection
of this splendid automobile.

No Special Preparations

No Special Preparations
On May Goth last, this Studebaker car
left San Francisco as the pilot car for
caravan of advertising men going to the
St. Louis convention.
No special preparations were made as
far as the car was concerned The trip
was to be long one--but nothing I'M
usual was expected.
The first two days were pleasant and
the roads were good.
Seas of 'D0be Mud
The third day found the party at
Lovelock, Nevada, in pouring rain.
The harder It rained, the stickier and
more tenacious became the 'dobe mud.
In places the pools were hub deep. This
mud was cement-ike in its consistency
it took pick and shovel to remove it
from the wheels. Yet the Studebaker
car pulled sturdily along and showed
ample reserve power for conditions even
more difficult. This lasted for three days
until they reached Salt Lake City.

The soft coal supply is fully up to

Whether the, consumers rush to

question dealers are not prepared to
