CITY SWELTERS J..
ON THIRD DAY
OF HEAT WAVE
Shows SO De.
grees in Shade at 3
F.. O'clock.

When the summer Of 1918 at last
came to Grand Forks, it came with a
vengeance. At least, that was the
impression Ct the majority of citizens
who are suffering from an intense
heat which today has reached it's third
consecutive day. At 3 o'clock this
afternoon, the city hall thermometer
showed a temperature of SO degrees
n the shade, but at that time there
were indications that a thunder storm
might cool the air later in the day.
The hot wave arrived on Thursday
and has been at it ever since, with the
exception Of today's early morning
hours when the atmosphere was rath-
er cool, and it looked as though a
shower might come up at any time
and effect important changes in the
temperature. Although a few drops
sprinkled the ground, the heat in
creased in intensity for every hour
A veritable exodus of people took
place. A large number went to Maple
Lake and other summer resorts for a
weekend vacation in an effort to get
away from the heat wave which made
the city swelter.
The Grand Forks Fair management
expressed a desire for rain tonight so
as TO put the Fair grounds in abso-
IS wished for the Fair week. 1t looks
as though the desires Of the Fair peo-
pie may be fulfilled, for the official
weather forecast for the week prom
Uses rain Monday and fair weather for
the rest Of the week.
For North Dakota, the forecast
covering tonight and Sunday is: Cen
orally fair tonight and Sunday; cooler

thing looked remarkably clean and
attractive. from the very entrance
gate to the farthest corner Of the ace
track. All was spick and span, and
q number of people were busy maxi
ing their final preparations for ex-
hfbits of various kinds. The practica-
bility Of having the buildings grouped

fair officials who had see building
arrangements in many other sections
of the country, and attention was also
called to the fact that several new
buildings r being erected, mainly
for restaurant purposes.

Live stock entries are particularly
numerous this year and already sew

Factories Aid War Work


The modern automobile and the
great automobile shows represent
American efficiency most highly
developed, and the most valuable
asset, industrial and mechanical, of
this nation.
Thanks to the automobile prod
ucers, the Government found ready
made great bodies of highly trained
organized mechanics.
Thanks to the automobile men the
Government found, generously ready,
magnificent factories equipped for
most important war work-the MAX
| ing of flying machines, the production
of the thousands of trucks and high
speed automobiles upon which our
army must travel.
Every Man Can Afford One
The man is not a statesman who
fails to realize the value Of the auto
mobile industry and the duty of the
Government in protecting, encourag
ing and building up that industry,
now in war time especially.
Material and transportation should
be supplied to the automobile industry
as to any other great branch of war
manufacture.
What the automobile has done in
the past to prepare the factories and
the mechanics for the war need of
today, the automobile is doing now to
prepare for this nation the equip
ment that will be needed when the
war ends, and international competi-
tion begins.
1t is the duty of the Government to
uphold and encourage the automobile
industry.
1t is the duty of the individual that
can afford it to encourage that in
dustry as an individual, buying the
machine that he can afford-AND
EVERY MAN CAN AFFORD SOME
j MACHINE NOW.
Only the man whose time has no
real value, whose brain amounts to
little, whose energy is not worth
while, can truly say, II do not need
an automobile"

The development of the automobile
and it's marvellous powers in it's saving
of TIME, LABOR, MONEY, and
ENERGY, are more important to the
nation this year than ever. And this
year, more than ever, it is the duty
of Government and of the public to
encourage and uphold the automobile
industry.
We need in war the full product of
every mans energy, the complete ef-
fort of the able mind.
The automobile, saving time for the
individual, MULTIPLIES individual
efficiency and capacity.
Aids Every Known Trade
The valuable worker, moving rapid
ly from place to place, THINKING
AS HE GOES with comfort and speed,
is made infinitely more valuable by
the automobiles power.
The great problem of the day is
transportation. The automobile helps
to solve that problem.
The light, powerful gas engine, in
dependent of rails and roads, mex
pensive, swift, adapted to all work, is
the helper of the professions, of trade,
of industry, and of the railroads.
What the telephone has done for
the human voice, carrying Thought,
the automobile does for the human
body, carrying Personality where its
work is needed. 1t is PERSONAL
ITY that solves problems and wins
wars.
One Doctor Does Work of Two
Our chief lack is of men of the
higher grade.
One frst-class man, plus an auto
mobile, becomes THREE first-class
men. for he can do the work of three
The army general no longer gallops
for five hours, exhausting his body
and brain, killing his horse, to cover
fifty miles.
The high powered automobile car
ries him fifty miles in less than an
hour, he THINKS and plans as he
goes, arrives fresh for his work.
The war has taken more than half
of the hest doctors. The automobile
works in the place of those absent
men, enabling one doctor to do The
work of two.
The business man, manufacturing
producing; planning. driving his fac
tories to their utmost capacity, is an
essential part of war; The automo-
bile for him saves ENERGY, TIME
HEALTH, and multiplies his power
by two.
Farmers Greatest Time-Saver
The farmer is the foundation and
the cornerstone of the nations pros
perity, more essential to success in
war than the bullets that kill-for he
keeps alive those that do the fighting

The automobile of all inventions is
the farmers greatest time-saver. His
light, swift-running car takes him to
town and back in a few minutes, while
his horses, saved from exhausting
fast driving, continue their work, at
plow or harrow in other hands.
Take the automobile from the
farmer and you take the food of mil
lions from our national production.
Constantly you hear of the farmers
increased prosperity - few realize
what the engine and the four wheels
of the automobile have done to create
that prosperity and the farms pro-

Los Angeles county Cal. has in
creased its motor vehicle registra-
ton by l6,459 in the last seven
months OF this gain, 10.001 autos
are credited to Los Angeles, bring
ing the total of the city registration
to 60.199. The county total, In the
latest compilation, Is 96,517.
The gain of l6,459, 1t Is estimated,
would have been greatly increased
in the seven-month period had
freight shipments and motor car
production been normal. But be-
tween October / and May l condi-
tions have been far from normal in
freight and manufacturing facilities.
Las Angeles county did not neg
lect war assistance to buy cars, in
cidently In the seven months there
were two Liberty loan drives, in
which this county bought a total Of
$9O,000,000 bonds.
The registrations are as follows:
Motor cars, 29l,39S; motorcycles.
1S,444; chauffeurs, S,997; automo-
bile dealers. 1897, motorcycle deal
ers, 146; trailers. 25S; substitution
OF motorcycles, 744. Deducting the
substitutlons from the gross regis
tration, It Is seen that there are ac-
tually 273.690 motor cars in the

Proper Care and
Treatment of Rims

Mr.. Perram OF the Tulsa Rubber
& Nulcanizing Co, strong sup
porter OF Michelin tires, says that
rust Is an enemy of rubber II win
pay the motorist to inspect occa-
sionally the condition of the rims
on the Aheels of his car. especially
IL the other surfaces OF the castings
rear the beads look rusty. This dis
cQloration Is rust caused by rusted
rims. This rust If not arrested will
gradually eat through the rubber,
attacking the canvas Of the tire. in
time the edges of the rusted rims
will become more and more uneven,
tearing and eventually destroying
the beads. Furthermore. rust works
in between the beads and the rims,
leaving space for water which also
damages the rubber.
To remove rust from n rim, the
tire should be taken off and the
rusty parts rubbed clean with
coarse emery paper, Then smooth
TIE surface with finer emery paper
and re-japan the rim. applying one
coat to the outside and two to the
inside. making sure first that the
surface is smooth and free from
rust. Roughness may" be quickly
detected by running the hand along

Many Motor Cars

How the motor car Industry Is
cooperating In conserving trans
portation Is shown by the fact that
In the first three months OF 1918,
$4,000 motor cars were dHven over
the roads to the dealers and dis
tributors by eight of the larger
manufacturers. This represented 81
per cent OF the production. This
number Of driveaways relieved the
railroads to the extent OF ten thou.

Reports from different companies
show that a large percentage Of
their cars are being driven away
