DODGE COMMERCIAL
CAR IS ON MARKET
SUBSTANTIAL LIGHT DELIVERY
ADDED TO WELL KNOWN
LINE.

Dodge Brothers dealers in the
United States and Canada are begin
ming to receive their first consign-
ments of Dodge Brothers commercial
car, and are preparing for a demand
as heavy as that which has greeted
the other Dodge Brothers products
since they came on the market three
years ago.
The building of the commercial
car was Influenced by the frequent
and consistent demand for Dodge
Brothers chassis for commercial pur-
poses. The mechanical features of
Dodge Brothers standard touring car
were so we'll adapted to use for light
commercial work that hundreds of
business concerns bought the chas-
sis alone and had special CONNER
cial bodies built to suit their re-
quirements. Naturally, this prac-
tice led to a demand for light COM
mercial car as part of the Dodge
TcS uldI llHC Vi
The commercial car is practically
a duplicate of the car which Dodge
Brothers have been delivering to
the government in large quantities
for several months. The specifica-
tions are similar to those of the
standard touring car. except for sew
eral details in which consideration
is given the necessity for handling
a much greater load. Among. the
details referred to are 33x4 tires,
heavier springs, steering post set at
higher angle and gasoline tank
under the drivers seat.
The body is of pressed steel, with
a black enamel finish similar to the
finish of the standard touring car.
For enclosure of the car there is a
. set of substantial oiled duck cur
tains for both sides and rear of the
drivers seat, as we'll as for the
sides and rear of the body. The
drivers seat and back are uphol-
stored in genuine leather. The wire
screens Of the body are removable.

Elmer Davis
DIES AT GREAT LAKES NAVAL
TRAINING STATION,

Mr.. and Mrs. e. B. Davis, of this
city, received a telegram last night
announcing the death of their son,
Elmer Davis, at Great Lakes naval
training station. The cause of death
was influenza which prevails as an
epidemic at that station.
Elmer Davis with VIM. Stearns,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. It. Stearns,
left Madison eight weeks ago for Chi
cago where they enlisted in the navy
and were assigned to the Great Lakes
station. Wednesday Of this week the
wives and parents of the young men
were advised of their illness and fire.
quently informed of their condition
until late yesterday afternoon when a
telegram was received stating that
the illness of both men was serious.
Mrs. w. T. Stearns, Mrs. VIM.
Stearns, mother and wife, and Mrs.
Elmer Davis at once departed by au-
tomobile for Sioux Falls to take train
from that city to Chicago and the
naval station. Before their depar-
ture from Sioux Falls the telegram
announcing the death of Elmer was
received here, Mrs. Davis was in
formed and she abandoned the jour-
ney to the naval station and returned
home. The Mesdames Stearns, wife
and mother, continued on their way.
A later telegram was received here
stating that VIM. Stearns was i'm
proved in condition.
w. Il. Stearns stated this morning
that a week ago today his son and
Elmer Davis were granted leave and
they spent the day in Chicago and 1t
is presumed they may have expert
enced undue exposure from the chill
ing winds prevalent in that city.
However, the press dispatches have
contained the information that influ-
enza has been epidemic at the naval
station the past several days.
Elmer Davis was raised in this city
and graduated from the Madison
schools. He was fond of athletics,
and upon his graduation took up that
department of school work, having
during the past several years filled
the position of athletic coach in diff
ferent schools in this portion of the
state.

Permitting war worries 4oastep in and end al lathletics- and to 1e+ all indulgence in sport go by the boards because we are at war has been pointed out as a serious mistake.
 In England, where sports were stopped when the war broke out, the error was seen and rectified- and now the various sport fields are crowded every .dsV~ slaxfaet participation in things which Bfil help to build up the physical condition of the people is compulsory. That the boys in the trenches do not see the need of wear ing mourning because we are in the big fight has been pointed out in let ters home more than once. Now we come to a letter from one who was one of the idols of the baseball world Harry ('Hank') GoWdy, late of the Boston Braves-and hero of one of the big world series contests.
 Those who think it frivolous for the people of nation at war to take part in sport contests will do well to read GOwdy's letter direct from the trench es in France to F. c. Lane, editor of the Baseball Magazine.
 Take it from me" he writes that baseball plays big part in our plans with all the pressing need of drill and preparation for our new role in the trenches e. ,.- -I'
 aHI'm in hopes that the baseball sea- son will be as successful as ever, for know that the people will need it. You can gamble that we follows over here need it, too. We need to play in our spare time and we need to read about the doings in tn big baseball circuits in the States. It's like getting money from home to read National League box score and find out who drove in the winning run. -,
 War demands relaxation and noth- ing supplies this relaxation quite as we'll as baseball.
 England made a big mistake when she stopped athletics, but she was great enough to admit it and make up for lost time when she recognized her blunder."
