The Coal Situation.

Coal dealers cannot be expected to
deliver all the coal you want. The in
dications are that buyers will have to
be contented with a ton at time this
winter, possibly less. There is no
probability that any Of the local deal
ers will accumulate any surplus stocks,
and as fast as shipments are received
deliveries will be made in small lots.
If they keep US warm, and if we are
assured enough from week to week, we
can expect nothing better.

A|RMEN STUDY
 LIVES IF BIRDS
(Rock Island Union)


 French military aviators, in addi- tion to fighting the German ma chimes, directing the artillery fire and making photographs of the enemys mes, trenches and Notifications, have found a new field of usefulness in the scientific pursuit of orinthol- ogy.
 The degree of perfection of obser- vation obtained by the French avi- ators has enabled them to make minute and scientific observation of the habits of birds in flight
 The aviators have definitely estab lished that swallows in flying always maintain an average altitude of TOO yards. Wild ducks prefer ar alti- jude of 1900 yards, or a little over a mile. Lapwngs or tirwits, mann tain at all times an even greater al titude. French aviators have met them at a height of 2,l50 yards.
 While nearly eyer yone knows tfat wild ducks always fly in single file behind their leaders, it has remained for the aviators to discover that the wild ducks eXecute every movement with a simultaneOasnesS and degree of precision not to be found ill the most perfectly trained military body in the world.
 If, for example, the lead duck "hanges the position of a wing in or der to fly either higher or lower, all

W|[[yS SALES|MEN ARE PROTOTYPES
 OF JOHN KARLSEN

John C. Karlsen, holder of world championship skating records and marathon runner extraordinary, left Minneapolis on August "A on record breaking cross country run from that city to Toledo Ohio. He expects to complete the run of more than 75O miles in II days, according to word received by H. H. Hotchkiss, manager of the Overland Arizona company.
 John N. Willys head of the Willys- Overland, Inc, has long boasted that it would be most difficult to find a body of salesmen representing a cleaner living and finer type of men physically than the army of Willys- Overland distributors, dealers and salesmen. For this reason he is most enthusiastic over the long run, Karl son being one of the companys star salesmen.
 Garlsen is connected with the Twin -lues branch of Willys Overland, Inc, and he is one of the winners in the big Wulys sales congress which closed Au- lUst 23 When he suggested that he make the run, after the contest closed, Mir WlIlys seized upon the suggestion as q fitting demonstration of the splendid combination made by physi- cal talent and sa alesmanship ability.
 Tt is not to be expected" said MT. WillyS recently, that one man in 10,- coo will be able to even approach what karlsen has accomplished in an ath- letic way. But, to win those achieve ments he has had to take care of him. self physically, live in a clean way. That that method of living has helped him in a business way cannot be doubted, in view of the record he made against stiff competition in the sales contest
 When Karlsen reaches Toledo he will board a steamship, with the rest of the winners, for cruise on the Great Lakes
 Karlsen is A years old and has been prominent in athletics so long that it was feared by some of his friends that the strain would over-tax a man of his years. He explained, however, that 40 mile runs on Sundays are no un- common things for him at the present and that he takes a ten mile run each morning before he goes to work He said he is like the Willys- Knight mo- tor: 'The older he gets the better he runs" Furthermore, his business is taking up more and more of his time and 1t was his intention to make the greatest record of all and then quit.
 Willys- Overland, Inc, is sending g car and rubber to accompany him or the trip. .sss
 Karlsen is not only a runner of in ternational note, but his long distance skating has attracted world wide at tention. One of his latest achieve ments was the establishment of 8 worlds amateur record for a 25-mile marathon in the Northwestern Skating championships at Lake of the Isles2ir February, 1916.

FARMER |S THE
 BEST PROSPECT
 IN AUTO CAME

The farm market for passenger l cars, always a great factor in the mo- tor car industry, assumes a greater importance than ever this season, ac- cording to word just received by the Pecklo-Cord Motor company, local Paige agents.
 "The promise of abundant harvests, with possibly a worlds record for oats, and the prevailing war conditions make the potentialities of the farm market greater than they have ever been in the history of our industry" says Harry M. Jewett, president of the Paige-De troit Motor Car company Already 40 per cent of all the motor cars in America are owned by farmers, this large proportion being due to the great utilitarian value of a passenger car The farmer finds a thousand and one uses for an automobile. Give him financial ease and he will buy liberally.
 "The manufacturers of passenger cars are fully alive to the situation and, while they will in no way curtail their distribution to cities or neglect the city buyer, they will pay especial ,s ienti' to the farmer. There will un- doubtedly be great activity in the fall in this direction
 While the maker of passenger cars like any other manufacturer, wants to increase his sales and broaden his market, he feels that in supplying the farmer with a good serviceable car he is doing a distinct service to the country in a constructive and eco- homie sense.
 The production and distribution of food has become one of our greatest problems. We must have more food, greater crops and better distribution, and we must conserve and avoid waste. Here is where the utilitarian and economic value of the passenger car plays big part. Five acres of tlllable land are required to support a horse, three acres to support a man. | If each automobile takes the place of only one span of horses, the 3.70O, 900 ! cars in use release 32 million acres of land for production of food stuffs for more than 12 million men-the total Iorce employed in the war by all the allies
 l Tne passenger car on the farm does
 release the horse either entirely or so
 that II can be put to work in the field
 While errands are being done in the car or light produce taken to the mar
 Ret. Motorizing the farm is the big
 gest step that can be taken in the di- rect1on Of efficient and economic food production. The passenger car is the
 farmers most valuable helper and
 hence it is going to play a larger part
 than ever in our efforts to make this
 country strong for the great tasks be-
 fore it."

tered the worlds record made by J. F. Donohue at Stanford, Conn.,, in 1S93 Karlsens time for the 25 miles was 1:30:15, while the previous record was 1:31:29.
 Besides this sensational perform ance he is the holder of the 100- mile worlds record against time, made on five-lap track at Minneapolis, Febru- ary g, 1909. His time for that event was hours and 32 minutes.
 Karlsen's itinerary for his present long distance run follows:
 SPA, Minneapolis to Red Wing, 51 miles, S-25, Red Wing to Winona, 62 miles; S-26 Winona to Elroy, 68 miles; S-27, Elrop to Madison, "A miles; 8-2S.

 The mileage figures are taken from the railroad guides and it is estimated that the highway mileage would in- crease them to about 7S5.
