dustry of the department of agricul
ture. is announced by the Bozeman Of
flee of the bureau. 1t covers the Pc

airy II and is as follows:
These records are published to show
that the COWS are doing well in spite
of the cold weather and the fact that
most dairymen are conservative with
their feed. These records are made
practically on alfalfa alone.
The feed question in the Bitter Root
that has caused some worry is the
supplying OF succulent food for their
cows. This has been partly solved by
the shipping to the valley of two car
loads OF dried beet pulp from Gerng,
Nebraska. by the Great Western S,usar
company for experimental purposes and
to pave the way for the dried beet
pulp that will be dried at Missoula
next year. Many of the dairymcn are
using it with good results.

Dodge Sedan, Convertible,
Achieves Popularity

Keeping faith with the public
brings quick reward.
EvidCnce of this truth is to be found
in the results following the recent
publication of the first advertisements
relating to the Dodge Brothers con-
vertible sedan, exhibited at the Auto
mobile Show. The advertisements
stated merely that the sedan is a car
such as you would expect of Dodge
Brothers." and that it was designed
and built complete in Dodge Brothers
works
Immediately, and in most cases
without further idea of the cars ap-
pearance, people began placing or
ders. The fact that Dodge Brothers
built it seemed a sufficient assurance
of refinement and quality. The re-
suit is a demand with which dealers
may not be able to keep pace unless
there is big change for the better
in shipping and manufacturing condi-
tions generally.
The Dodge Brothers sedan, like the
Dodge Brothers coupe, is truly a car
of distinctive appearance. Designed
to embody the very latest and best in
American and foreign coach work, it

Prices on these various models range
from 81, 500 up to $4,000. A notice
able feature of Franklin body con-
struction is the makeup of the body
sill and the method of attachment to
the chassis frame. The body proper
is without n fioor-the chassis plat
form serving this purpose-and is sus-
pended at four points on the chassis
frame. This construction serves two
purposes. 1t furnishes the lowest pos
sible floor line and, while allowing a
firm body sill to which door castings
and other framing may be anchored
does not interfere with the resiliency
of the wood chassis frame.

AUTO DEALERS
ON FINE BASIS
Expert Tells of New Conditions
That Have Helped the
Dealer
BY Vice-Presidcnt L. Il. Wilson,
Briscoe Motor Corporation.

Br1Sc0e Motor corporation.
The average automobile dealer to-
day is making a good profit on his
investment. In the early days, pos
sbly because the business was new
and there were no established pre-
cedents or plans to guide them, many
dealers had difficulty in breaking even
or lost out on the venture.
Your dealer to-day shows keen
ferent makes of cars. He has learn
ed from eXperience-dear experience
to gauge the wishes and require
ments of the motor buying public.
The ever widening field or the more
diversified use of the motorcar has
been great factor in aiding the deal
er to make money.
Both dealers and manufacturers are
now cooperating to make the auto
mobile business a twelvemonth busi-
ness, and regardless of the fact that
for years two breaks have occurred
during the automobile year-one the
change in models, the other the win
ter season-it has proved itself to be
the greatest industry of the ages.
Most manufacturers - and wisely
| too-are eliminating the break in the
selling season by making changes in
their cars as a gradual developmen
rather than an abrupt and sudden
change from one design to another
The Briscoe Motor Corporation, like
numerous other makers, has been
working under this policy for some
| time, and it is a welcome protection
to both dealers and owners, who here
tofore never knew at what moment
they might suffer q loss in value
through a change in the model of the
car they were selling or driving.

Aluminium Pistons Continue
in Use in Chalmers Car

With prices of raw materials jump
ing skyward, automobile manufac-
turers are constantly confronted with
the temptation to lower the quality
of their product. That they con-
scientiously refrain from doing so is a
tribute to their desire to manufacture
quality first cars.
Probably no single item entering
into car manufacture has increased
in cost so much as aluminium" says
C. C. Hinkley, chief engineer of the
Chalmers Motor Company. Yet we
continue to use aluminium alloy pis-
tons because we know that type to be
superior for installation in our high
speed motors.
six aluminium pistons cost approxi-
mately Sc; the same number of cast
iron pistons cost about 81, and in
creased expenditure holds good all
the way through our car. Our valves
are of tungsten Steel so hard that
they will stand the highest tempera-
ture; the usual valve is of nickel alloy,
which is much cheaper. We use
pressed cotton gear, which costs four
times as much as the usual gear.
"Our constant endeavor is to build
a strong, light car with a powerful
motor. The aluminium piston used
in the motor of the Chalmers Six
weighs only twelve ounces. Compare
it with the usual castiron piston of
two and n half or three pounds in
weight and you can appreciate the
saving in weight and the resulting
low pressure on the connecting rod
and bearings.
weight and vibration are the two
greatest contributors to expense in
operating a motorcar. By eliminating
each factor to the best of our ability
we have secured a car that ranks
as one of the most economical on the
market. And economy seems to be
the thing desired by the public"

Hudson Super-Six Car
Is Economical to Run

P. S. Blatchley, oil geologist, of
Champaign, ILL.,, says the Hudson Su-
per-SiX is an economical car to own,
and submits figures to prove it. After
driving the Hudson car 5,469 miles in
three months, his running expense
was $127.60.
Thre hundred and ninety-five gal
Ions of gasoline were used to cover
! this mileage, a running average of
1873 miles per gallon. Nineteen gal
gons of oil were used or one gallon
for every 2S7 miles. One 40O-mile
and two 700 = mile trips were taken.
Sixty per cent. of the remaining $500
miles consisted of city driving. Mr..
Blatchley says the engine of his Su-
per-SiX was never touched for repair
! or adjustment, and that he is de-
! lighted with this record.
| The Hudson display at the automo-
bile show under the direction of l.. II.
Hagerling, local Hudson distributor,
| is one of the most attractive there.
IT took four prominent residents of
! Albany on a motor trip to Detroit to
attend the worlds salesmanship con-
gress," SAYS e. V. Stratton, Hudson
distributor at Albany, N. Y. I'VE left
Albany at 535 in the morning and
reached Philadelphia at 6.15 p. m.
Half the trip was made through pour
ing rain. The route we went showed
258 miles. The round trip mileage
was 519 miles; and for the entire trip
the average mileage per gallon was
|18.8 miles. On the return trip we
left Philadelphia at a. m. and made
an hour and a half stop in Trenton,
reaching Albany at p. m. We were
not driving at what would ordinarily
be considered an economical speed.
MANY Super-Six owners in Albany
and other New York towns are gett-
ing 16 to 20 miles on gallon of gaso-
