other word for enthusiast and fanatic.

Not long ago motor vehicles were
called automobiles. Then machine
became the popular manner in when
to describe them. Now the word car
came into favor. There are town cars

ed at the auto show. The changes in
body designs since the early days Of
a buggy with a motor mark the prog
ress of motor car building. There was
time, too, when the two-cylinder
engine and even the famous ones
lunger. was regarded with awe and
generation, Now the V-shaped en.4
CINE, the sleeve valve engine and the
four-cylinder with the sixteen valves
dividing honors with regular foura
and skies. Each manufacturer has
his own ideas about what makes the
finest possible combination of body
design and engine.
1t is the slight variation In this
sign of the body and the type OF the
engine. which distinguishes one from
another. There are those who would
be unable to tell one popular make
from the field, while the expert will
point out fifty distinguishing marks.
The shape of the hub of the wheel,
the shape of the hood and the gem
erai style and appearance Of the car
are enough for the experts. and
visitors TO the auto show in the Grays'
Armory will have an opportunity OF
learning all these little details which
the dealers at the show will be only
too glad to explain. according to-
General Manager Monte ID. Stone.
Business Manager w. T. Dabney, OF
the Chamber OF Commerce, says an
automobile show is not only a great
commercial enterprise, but Hberaf-
education in the matter of transpor-
tation, good roads and geography.

"The Department of Justice is ex.

Two Migrants who we're picked up

the clerk of that county which stated
he had registered there. Feeley said
he did not know what his serial num-

Mexico Boy Attending Camp at Fort
Riley Says All Mexico Boys but
One Passed Examinations

Dear Mitchell:
FORT RILEY, Kansas, August 8,
1917. - 1t is too hot to write much
today. The mercury, ike the goose,
hangs high, and loafs around 100 to
los. We go to it just the same, day
in and day out, and have at last be-
come accustomed to it.
This week wa a sad n for some
and a joyous one for others. We
heard the results Of our examinations.
All Of the Mexico boys passed but
one, and it was not his fault. |
passed o. X, but do not know my
rank yet. Our Commissions will be
given next week. Camp ends August
IL, but we will not get away until
August IA or 10. l hope to be home
by the 18th for a week or ten days.
Think I will be sent East; then to
my post of duty. I'm glad the next
camp is in the North, for ! know the
boys that 20 there won't have it as
hard as we have had IT,.
A big cave-in in one Of the trenche5
this week. My company had just
left the trench for another company
when the accident occurred. Two
boys were badly hurt and it took 20
minutes to dig them out of the pile
of dirt covering them. / can only tip
the scales now at 179; quite a differ
ence from 1877 when l came out.
Hope to see you soon. Regards to
all my Mexico friends.
Your friend,

Wheat has turned out much better
than was expected this year. Many

pillow it in and planting it in corn, have
yielded from Is to Is bushels per
acre and is of excellent quality. Oats
are the best for Is years, the yield
ranging from 35 to 60 bushels per
