 We turned our course southward the next day and arrived at Salt Lake in the evening.
 I had been so mch interested in the scenery and other unusual feat ures of the trip, that I almost for got to watch the performance of the Willys- Knight car. We had travelled a little over 1000 miles, had been over all kinds of roads, through sand al- most up to the hubs, and over noun tain passes with grades as steep as you will find anywhere. We forded a river, the water in which left its mark on the car five inches above the running board. We had been, during a great part of the trip, through the most trying kinds of climatic conditions, the temperature for hours at a time ranging about 120', and we had climbed to an alti- | tude which registered nearly 5000 feet. Yet we did not touch the car | buretor and never once did the Knight | motor miss stroke nor did we have
 to raise the hood of the car single 1 time on the entire trip for any
 purpose except to replenish the oil.
 So perfectly did the Willys- Knight
 sleeve valve do it's work, and it re- quired so little attention I almost forgot to watch it's performance. No wonder British engineers adopted this very dependable motor to propel their most important implements of war

STUDEbAKER PRICES TAKE UPWARD SLANT
 COST 0F MATERIAL

F. T. Hodgkins. general sales man. ager of the Studebaker corporation, in announcing a revision in the present prices of all Studebaker commercial ears, makes the following comment in justification of the new prices
 "Everything in connection with the manufacture of automobiles-passen- ger cars and trucks-has greatly in- creased" says MT. Hodgkins. And in view of the advancing costs which the manufacturer has had to face, it is only natural that retail prices should ad- vance correspondingly.
 "Studebaker. I believe, is practically the last manufacturer of commercial cars to increase prices. Our immense reserve stocks, unlimited purchasing power and long time contracts made IL possible for Us to continue to offer @ line of light trucks at prices hun- dreds of dollars below the average for cars of equal power, sturdiness and de- portability. To maintain the high quality of Stakeholder cars the ad- vance fin price has become absolutely necessary. Under no circumstances would we sacrifice quality to price.
 "The materials which enter into the construction of Studebaker commer- cial cars have advanced on a far more rapid scale tszn the finished cars themselves have. Frame, steel, for in

stance, which costs SIPS per cwt in| 1916 costs us s4.00-an advance of 220 per cent. Sheet steel. which cost s2.75 per cwt. now sells for S7.00, an ad- vance of 155 per cent. Aluminium cast ings which were bought by Studebaker at 28 cents pound, now costs 50 cents a pound, an advance of 70 per cent. Cast iron, for cylinders and other en- zine parts, used to be bought for S1325 a ton. It now costs us S43 a ton. In addition to these leather has gone up 40 per cent, cotton fabric for tires 150 per cent, rubber 75 per cent, wheels so per cent, and copper 100 per cent.
 This by no means completes the list. There is not a nut, bolt or screw of Studebaker commercial car that has not increased. Material price in- creases, however, are not the only fac- tors in the increased price of cars. The steel working tools are more expensive by far than they were a year ago. Labor is scarce, and consequently me- chanics and machinists generally are getting more money. And, too. it costs more for coal and power to keep the machinery running"

trade with that merchant until the chant did not quit business mean while.
 Gold and silver were scarce. The situation became acute and the gov ernment finally suspended specia pay ment, adding to the financial chaos.
 Taxes were extreme. Commodities were taxed first in the raw state and then as finished product. Incomes, earnings. etc., all paid heavily to carry the burden. Prices scared. Our own territory was invaded and American crops, buildings. railroads. boats, etc, were seized or destroyed. Portions of the country were devastated.
 One man to every ten of the popu- latton (including both North and South) was drawn actively into the war.
 Our fathers sons now fight. They fight in what has now become the biggest and bloodiest war in all his- tory. More men, more money, and moro resources are now required than ever before. We face a heavy in crease in our national debt. The gov- ernment has announced it will have to issue s15,o00, 100000 of bonds for the first years needs. People are nervous, many are hysterical. Busi- ness has been threatened with vari- ous kinds of ominous curtailment by thoughtless men in high places. And yet our situation is incomparably bet ter than when our fathers fought. Our national debt on March 31, 1917, was S1,207, ,027, ,SS6.23. If we increase this in the same ratio as did our fathers, we will provide a war fund 1 of s64,352, ,2S4,S ,S69.35. On the basis of the fifteen billion dollar bond issue for one year, this sum will carry us through three years and seven months of war.
 Our banking facilities are con- sidered the best in the world. The Federal Reserve system has been de- veloped after years of study of all the | financial systems of the world by a
 specially appointed committee of
 bankers and statesmen, who chose |, | in preference to the governmental
 banks of England, France or Ger
 many, or the branch banking system of Canada, or the various other ad-
 vanced, such as assets currency" etc | The two issues of bonds, aggregat- ing three times the total Civil War
 issues, have been handled by oul
 banks without a cent of expense tc | the government for selling. | There is no currency in circulation | which is not as good in California as
 in Maine, and as good in Florida as ir | Alaska.
 | The highest estimate of men need
 ed for war is 5,000,O00, or one mar out of every 21 of our population. l Our government will not suspend
 specie payment, for we are tho
 wealthiest country in the world, botl | gross and per capita; we have the
 most money in circulation per capita ] and we possess one.third of the en.

tire gold money supply of the whole. world.
 Our population is about 1-15 of the worlds population. We therefore have five times our national share of the worlds gold, according to this scale.
 Our country need fear no invasion. We need fear no destruction or con- fiscation of property by the enemy, save for the occasional damage done by his sympathizers whose efforts will be little at best-and to offset what may be done in this matter, we have already seized billions of dollars worth of ships, property, materials and food paid for and belonging to the enemy.
 Despite the hardships our fathers faced, even then business boomed.
 Commercial failures dropped from 6993 in 1861 with liabilities of POT million dollars, to 52O in 1864 with liabilities of only S1s million dollars. Nine leading rails sold at an average of $35.00 per share in 1862. by the close of 1864 they jumped to $220 per share.
 During the Civil War statesmen finally devised a good banking sys- tenn and the government passed the national banking act in 1865. Our fathers developed a stable banking system by the end of their war
 We begin our war with the best in the world.
 Our fathers were paid in govern ment currency, which had a gold value of from 39 cents to S8 cents on the dollar.
 | We are pair in currency worth pak
 Our fathers treasury was depleted when they began their war. | Our treasury is full. | When our fathers bought food they | often got "beer checks" in change which they had to trade out.
 When we buy food we receive genu- inc money in change, and trade where we please.
 Our fathers had no gold.

 Only one-twentieth need fight now
 They increased their public debt 4 times and had no endorses, for they used it all themselves. 1 II WS lHCIGdSC OuE ucDL 1O liiilcS to carry us three years and sever months of war, onehalf our debt wil be guaranteed by the civilized world because we are loaning half of ou bonded indebtedness to our allies. From the first day when the frs congress of the United States, or tn, first official of the government actins under that authority, paid out tn first dollar on account of the ex penses of running this governmen until the last congress or the last of ficer of the government acting unde that authority, paid out the last dol lar on account of running the eX penses of this government, just prio to the declaration of war agains Germany in 1917, the government o the United States spent in roun' figures total of 40 billion dollars.
 The first years expenditure fol lowing the outbreak of the war, pro vided for by congress, amount to ? billion dollars, or 521a per cent a much in one year as was spent il the 12S years.
 Much of the 40 billion was spen abroad. Practically all of the 2 billion will be spent at home.

CREEPING RIMS

When the shoulders on the wheel, designed to hold the demountable rim become worn, the rim and its tire will creep around the wheel. Naturally this makes the valve stem project at an acute angle and, if continued long enoguh, may cut it off. If the valve stem is held firmly by means of cap, the strain falls upon the lower portion of the stem and that part of the inner tube which surrounds it. In this connection it is well to call attention to the need for tightening the rim Jugs by de- grees. If they are fully frightened one after the other and all the way around the wheel, there is apt to be too much space on one side of the wheel and too little on the other The proper way is to tighten one lug and then the one nearly opposite it and so on.

League Speaker Stopped at Chokio


A Non-Partisan League address by
one of the paid agitators of Townley-
ism was scheduled for Chokio last
Saturday afternoon, but the address
was not given. Sheriff Zahl and
County Attorney Cherry went to
Chokio and served notice on the agit-
ator, who appears to have been none
other than the Socialist lecturer Leon
Durocher, that the address would not
be permitted. Durocher then passed
the word that the address would be
given il Big Stone county, and the
more radical of the Leaguers left
with him for Big Stone county, a
little over three miles away. The
Big Stone county authorities were
notified, and within five minutes af-
ter the agitator had reached a spot
few rods into Big Stone county, and
begun to talk, Deputy Sheriff John
Littleton, of Graceville, was on the
ground and ordered Durocher out of
the county. The Leaguers then said
they would go to Traverse county,
one mile north, but Littleton told
them if they did, that he would send
word Immediately to the Traverse
county authorities. Seeing the fut-
ility of defying the loyal sheriffs of
western Minnesota, Durocher desist-
ed and the crowd dispersed.
