Autumn Millinery.

Ostrich Fumes appear on some of the newest hats. Probably nothing is more graceful than ostrich feathers on hats for dress or semi-dress wear. Fur takes it's place on brims and about the crowns. A touch of fur banding softens a severe hat and makes it becoming.
 Motor Hats for fall and winter are in every conceivable easy shape and are for the most part cravenetted, to repel rain, and they retain their good looks after a stormy ride.

New Repair Equipment
for Automobile Cylinders

O. w Anderson of the Mikkelson
garage repair department has install
ed. new device for rebor4ng or re-
grinding automobile cylinders. This
machine is operated IN conjunction
with lathe and is big improvement
over the old method of rebor-ng. An
accurate description of the device
would be too technical for the ord nary
person to understand, and the best
way fer an automobile owner to learn
about this important part of his car
is to visit the shop and see the ma
chine in operation.
In addition to regrind'ng cylinders
by this new method, Mr.. Anderson is
the inventor and patentee of cylin-
der ring that he intends to have man
ufactured on large scale. ".-
With the present prospects of get
ting new automobiles a second hand
car becomes valuable machine, and
the work Of having them put into pro-
per condition can as we'll be done in
Valley City as elsewhere. There is no
other repair machines like the above
mentioned nearer than Fargo, and this
territory offers fine field for this
class Of work.

Everyone knows there are a large
number of families who have and
burn the hard coal base-burners,
many of these people are so situated
that to buy a stove suitable for the

At the beginning Of the winter
there was far greater supply OF the
