cannot afford to be marking time
while the rest of the county Is march
ing right along towards higher
standard of sanitation, so show the
Council your interest in Civic saDi-
tary betterment by your presence.
At this time while our country is
at war and men are NEEDED to fight the
common foe, sanitation should loom
high on the horizon.
When the boys get to the various
cantonment zones the doctors of the
U. S. Army and U. S. Public Health
Service are working hard to Keep
them in fighting trim, but ii is the
surrounding home conditions which
determine largely whether oreuot
they are accepted as American sol
diers. The percentage OF men thro Nn

should cause no small amount of un-
easiness We must realize that a
large percentage, of those physically
unfit were made so by some prevent
able disease contracted at home on

OldGeld Makes Many
Records With Firestones

Eight worlds records shattered
within the space of four days is the
remarkable feat accomplished by
Barney Oldheld. veteran speed
demon" of auto racing, and the most
popular driver on the track. All
eight records were made in st. Louis
on circular dirt track, five of them
against time and three of them
against Ralph De Palma.
Oldfeld drove his Gold Bug"
equipped with Firestone Super Cord
tires in all the events without mis-
hap. In his tifty-mile exhibition run
against time he broke five records
in succession. Three of the records
set by Louis Disbrow have stood
since 1912. The other two were es-
tablished in 1914 by Disbrow and
Bob Burman. Oldfeld ran one mile
in As seconds; five miles in S.53:6;
ten miles in 1862; twenty-five
miles in 1888 and fifty miles in
40.47.6. The exhibition was cleo
! trically timed under the auspices OF
| the American Automobile Associa-
| ton.
Three days later he won two OF
| the three events from De Palma
and set new worlds records for five
ten and fifteen miles in competition
These records had stood since Jan
uary, 1915. OF six dual meets be
tween Oldfeld and De Palma, the
pilot of the Gold Bug" has wor
! four.
OIdfield gives due credit for his
victories to the power-saving of hi'
Firestone Super Cords. In st. Louis
he reiterated 8 statement made on
recent visit to the Firestone factor!
that speedway records now depend
! as much upon the tire makers as the
manufacturers.

MAXWELL MAKES
THIRD RECORD
Makes Montreal to Quebec
Run in Four Hours and
One Minute

BY breaking the Montreal Quebec
road record q Maxwell car driven by
Ray Mcnamara, road engineer of
the Maxwell Motor Company, Inc. of
Detroit, has established within two
weeks three of the most important
road records for the Dominion OF
Canada.
Making tho run between Montreal
and Quebec in 4 hours and minute,
the Maxwell shattered all previous
automobile records and also beat the
fastest express trains by f1fty-nines
minutes.
The record-breaking records are:
Windsor to Toronto, hours and so
minutes.
Toronto to Montreal. II hours.
Montreal to Quebec. hours and
1 minute.
The Windsor-Toronto run covered
275 miles. Between Toronto and
Montreal the car went $50 miles and
the distance from Montreal to Que
bee is $50 miles.
On the run from Montreal the
Maxwell pilot carried an official
greeting from the manager of the
Windsor Hotel to the manager of
the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec.
The Frontenac manager had the
message and a picture of the Max
well photographed and hung on the
wall Oh tne motel ONCE.
| There were no accidents to the
motor car and the Maxwell engine
performed marvelously on all of the
runs. The average speed of the Max
well on the last intercity run was
45 miles an hour.
| While establishing these mag
nificent records, Mcnamara has been
logging the roads of the Dominion
and the information is being pub
lished for the benefit of Canadian
motorists.
The road, while winding and
dotted with dangerous curves, has a
magnificent surface that would be
perfectly safe for touring in a rain
Storm" declared Mcnamara, who
stated that the Montreal Quebec
highway was by far the best in the
Dominion.
Numerous shrines, real old French
| towns, beautifully kept farms and q
splendid view of the winding st. Law
renee river are features of the road.
"It is the most interesting bit of
touring I have enjoyed in a great
many years." Mcnamara has toured
4 nearly every important road in the
United States.
Observers in the car during the
Montreal Quebec run were Neil
Mcneil, of the Montreal Gazette: Mr..
Chandler, of the Montreal Herald,
and Mr.. Bryan, who is connected
with an automobile accessories house.
The observers made affidavit to the
time in which the Maxwell covered
the run.
Before leaving Canada Mcnamara
: will make intercity runs from Mont
real to Ottawa and from Ottawa to
? Windsor. He will also log these
roads.

Motor Truck to Develop
Big Inland Empire

Confronted in its plan for develop
ment of the creamery industry in the
great Uinta basin lin Utah by a
transportation problem probably
moro complex than any which has
been faced in recent years by q
creamery concern of like size in the
United States, the Mutual Creamery
Company found its way out last
week when it purchased a Garford
truck and bought a trailer to go
with 1t.
The truck will be placed in serv-
ice between Vernal, Duchesne and
Helper. 1t will make regular semi
weekly trips, hauling the raw ma
terial, which is cream, from Yer
nal and adjacent points to Duchesne,
where the Mutual companys cream
cry Is located, and hauling the fin
ished product, which is butter, 20
the railroad shipping point at
Helper.
A vast inland empire, including
millions of acres of some of the
finest agricultural land in the United
States-the Unita basin has lain
practically dormant for years be-
cause transportation facilities have
not been at hand for the market
ing of its products.
Rumors that railroads would build
into the basin have flown thick and
fast, but as yet the country is with
out a road, so the Mutual Com
pany Creamery Company has de-
! cided to solve it's own transportation
question.
The truck 1T has just purchased
| has a capacity of one ton, to which
must be added the almost two-ton
| capacity of the trailer.
IT think the putting on of an auto
| transportation service such as this
will mean the intensive development
| of the creamery industry in the
Unita BASIN" said Carlyle Hall, pur-
| chasing agent for the Mutual Cream
| cry Company.
/ For the first time the farmers in
the basin will be purvided with q
cash market for their produce
look to see the business developed
until still more motor transportation
will be needed and If our auto truck
| experiment proves a success in this
field it will be repeated in other
/ sections similarly situated.
81 am convinced we made no mis-.
take in choosing the Garford truck
We have Inade a thorough examina.
tion of the field and are convinced
the Garford is the sturdy none,
saving vehicle required for this hare
service. I cannot say too much 70,

NASH ABOUT TO
ANNOUNCE CAR
Owner of Jeffery Plant Will
Market a New Model Bear
ing His Own Name

Even back in the days when the
automobile lurched along on one
cylinder, c. w. Nash, then in the
carriage manufacturing business as
pired to build motorcar bearing
his own name.
For twenty-five years he has been
building and selling carriages and
automobiles. During that time he
has seen the motorcar. Industry out
grow its cradle and watched it rise
from small. discredited beginning
TO the proud rank of third industry
in the United States. In its rise to
has played u leading role, having
headed some of the largest and most
successful automobile companies in
the United States.
But his lifelong ambition is soon
to be fully realized. For he is lust
about to formally announce the
birth of car that bears his name
and reflects his experience and
ideals.
The work which has been accom-
plished by the Nash Motors Com
pany within the duration of a single
year could only be achieved by ar
organization composed of experts in
their line, men who knew theil
plans were right and went thead.
A yearNago when Mr.. Nash entered
| the field as u manufacturer in hi:
own name he looked about for 8
| factory site. He inspected person.
ally practically every motorcar plant
of CONSEQUENCE in this country. ThC
result of this sitting down process
was the purchase of the 100-acrt
| Jeffery plant at Kenosha. 1t wa:
| fully equipped with men and ma
chinery and building a high grade
| line of passenger cars and trucks 8;
! per cent. complete.
From the men who have previous
| ly been associated with him Mr.
| Nash swiftly assembled a strong or
! ganization. They were all men o
| long experience and proved ability
| engineers and merchandisers o
highest caliber. AS Nash distributor
! came men of high financial respon
sibility who had made big profit
before under Nash leadership and a
proof of their confidence in him an,
| his organization, gave up other line
which they had been handling sue
cessfully to take over Nash con
tracts. Thus in remarkably shor
time was perfected one of the mos
complete manufacturing and sellin
organizations in the business.
Meantime the engineering depart
ment was hard at work on a neN
| Nash car. Into it's makeup the
have put good materials and excel
lent workmanship. By applying tn
