the Drivers Of Today.

According to Ernest Saut, q French
journalist. who has made a study Of
the history Of the automobile. more
than six centuries ago q man endeav.
ored to build q "horseless carriage"
Al early a the thirteenth century q
Partisan carriage maker worked upon
It, and while not successful, his ideas
were seized upon BY noted scientists
OF t1s day. and much study was &c.
voted to . fruitless research into the
mechanical arts for machinery that
would drive q vehicle by q series Of
springs and cords wound up like the
works Of q clock.
In 1709 q French mechanic. Joseph
Cugnot, succeeded in propelling BY
steam Q small wooden car Of his ow1
design. and developed It to . poiAt
where II drew . piece Of artillery {
mile In twenty minutes. This car
burned wood and was able to carr.
enough fuel to keep It in motion for
more than an hour. The unwieldy ma.
chine wrecked itself. however. and
Cugnot lost heart In his work. A few
years ago France erected . statue to
him as the inventor of the horseless
vehicle.
After the failure Of numerous ex-
perlments In England and France
shortly after the appearance OF Cug-
not's invention, the horseless vehicle
appeared to have been a perpetual mo-
ton proposition until 1880. when new

IRA ID. WIGHT INJURED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Manager of Stone Ordean- Wells Co.
Heads Machine Towards River to
Save Little Tot Who Ran in
Front of Auto.

Ira D. Wight, manager Of the
Stone Ordean-Wells Co., and his
daughter, Miss Florence Wight, aged
Is years, had narrow escape from
death Sunday afternoon when their
car, which Miss Florence was driving,
ran off the bank of Mouse river, at
the north end of the east SIDE of the
Eastwood Park bridge leading out
onto Valley street.
The bridge is very narrow and it
is hard for an auto to pass pedes-
trian on the structure. The Wights
were driving east along the river
street when little tot ran onto the
bridge Immediately in front of the
car. Mr.. Wight, realizing that the
car would either have to go over the
bank or injure the child, grabbed the
steering wheel and headed the ma
chine for the river. The railing of
the bridge was demolished and the
car headed straight down toward the
water. The bank is IL feet deep at
this point and the car would most
certainly have gone into the river had
not the front wheel have broken. Miss
Wight was thrown out of the car IN
some manner, but Mr.. Wight was
caught by the steering wheel and the
f1eshy part of one of his legs below
the knee was so badly cut that %
stitches were required. He was taken
to the hospital and has so far recover
ed as to be able to attend to his bus
mess affairs in his usual energetic
manner.

Crops Now Assured for the

Practically the entire state Of North
Dakota was visited by the best rain
Of the season which fell Saturday af-
ternoon and evening.
Minot and northwestern North Da-
kota was particularly fortunate in
that the showers were exceedingly
heavy. The ground had been soaked
better than during any period in two
years and inasmuch as practically all
of the seeding had been completed.

growth.
The rain came from the west and
the downpour lasted for more than an
hour. In the vicinity of Glenburn and
in the country north Of Burlington,
there was a regular cloudburst. The
coulees were converted into streams
of water several feet in depth. Some
of the crops in the lowlands along
Mouse river were washed out but the
good that was done far exceeded what
little damage resulted.
In some sections considerable hail
fell, but the growth of the crops was
not far enough advanced for much
damage to be done.
Farmers are feeling jubilant over
the prospects. The acreage of crops
seeded is larger than ever, and the
conditions are we'll nigh perfect.

Machine

H. ]. Peterson of Minneapolis, re-
presenting the Western Electric Co.,
is installing an Omega milking ma
chine at the Ehr Stock farm, is in the
city. In an interview with repre-
sentative of the Independent, Mr..
Peterson says that the Omega ma
chine which he is placing at the Ehr
farm is the only machine of this make
in the county but that it has many
mechanical features which will recon-
mend it to prospective purchasers of
milking machines and that it is only
a question of a short time before they
will be in common use by the dairymen
of the state One feature Of these
machines which seems of especial mer-
it that there are no rubber tubes to
impair the taste of the milk. Besides
having celluloid tubes the Omega has
an automatic shut off which is a
great convenience to the operator. The
Minot Electric Co. handle the West
ern Electric Co.'s products here, the

Ambu Eliminates GuesswOrk.

f. f. Harrison, proprietor of the
Buick Garage, recently purchased an
Ambu outfit from the American Blu
reau Of Engineering which enables
the mechanic to locate, within mo
ment's time electrical trouble in con-
nection with an automobile. This
contrivance will not only be an i'm
mense time saver but it will prove of
inestimable value in many ways as
electrical troubles are at times a
source of much worry and irritation
to the auto mechanic, but results in
considerable expense to the owner.
By the use of the Ambu both time and
expense will be saved, items Of no
small consequence in these days of
war and its attendant economies.
Mr.. Harrison is agent for the Won
derful outfit for the northwest.
