THE SHOW AND THE INDUSTRY


Even the management of the Min
neapolis Automotive Show, it appears,
has been taken by surprise. With its
fingers on the public pulse, it did not
quite appreciate the evergrowing in
terest in the automobile and its sis
tiers, the motor truck and the tractor.
This interest is now manifested in re-
cord breaking attendance at the I'M
precedented Show in the Exposition
Building, including great influx of
visitors from all over the Northwest.
1t begins to appear that, while the
war checked the automobile industry,
it merely damned up the stream for
an overflow that has now begun. The
great plants Loyalty turned their faci-
lities to war work of all sorts. The
aggregate of their war contracts at
the armistice is estimated at billion
dollars. Partly on this account and
partly because of restrictions on raw
materials, the production of cars in
1913 was more than eight hundred
thousand less than in 1917, the total
being under million. Yet there were
enough surplus cars on hand to ac-
count for the increase of more than
a million In the number of cars in use
in the United States, the total for
1913 as shown by the State registra-
ton lists being nearly six millions.
Will there be enough automobiles to

Keep Young

People with bad backs and weak
kidneys are apt to feel old at sixty.
MANY old folks say Doan's Kidney
Pills help them keep young. Here's
a Redwood Falls case:
A. V. Federly, retired farmer, Mill
St. gave the following statement
September IL, 1907: had been a
sufferer for number of years from
a constant, dull pain and soreness
through my back and over my left
kidney. | would be taken every little
while when working with terrible
dizzy spells, which gradually became
more and more frequent until two
years ago / was obliged to give up
work on account of this misery. |

and what good medicine they were
for kidney ailments, so | procured
some. After using Doan's | didn't

the other annoyances left. | give
this medicine all the credit"
On October II, 1913, Mr.. Fedderly
added: I am pleased to say | have
been free from kidney trouble for
several years. I am grateful to
Doan's Kidney Pills for having cur
ed me and all | said in my former

Worst Plague In
A Hundred Years
SUCH is THE INFLUENZA EPI-
DEMIC, ACCORDING TO THE
FINDING OF RELIABLE MEN

Although influenza statistics are not
the most pleasant reading, they are at
least timely and for this reason we
are herewith quoting extracts from a
summary made on the subject by a
close observer of the dreaded disease
says the Sherburne Advance.
From all reports that come to the
state and national boards of health,
the epidemic of influenza that still
RACES is the worst plague in the his
tory of the world for the past 400
wears. Not alone has the death roll
been heavy in the United States. In
Europe, Asia and Africa, in Australia
and the island of the Pacific ocean,
end in the barren ice fields of the
Arctic, everywhere the death list has
been long, and the plague has spared
no class of society.
According to such figures as are
row availabIa, the death list from in
flueza and it's fatal shadow, pneu-
mona, has caused near half million
deaths in the United States since they
first began to ravage the country. In
Minnesota, there were 1908 deaths
from this cause in October and 2,781
in November. The total for December
is not yet available, but is expected
to be somewhat less than for Novem-
Der, as the disease has lessened IN
many parts of the state.
At first the epidemic appeared to
strike hardest among those from Is
co 40 years of age, but of late seems
to affect those younger than the mini
mum given, as well as many up to 70
years of age.
Though the death toll is large, and
though homes in the entire country
are in some way saddaned by it's raw
ages, it is likely that some good will
come of the terrible epidemic. Physi-

MA GETS EVEN

The most novel case that has come
before the Gallatin county exemption
board is that of married man OF
draft age, who could not read and who
asked his wife to write note to the
board stating that his family was de-
pendent upon him. Here is the note
that the wife wrote, and the husband
presented to the board.
Dear United States Army:
Nv husband asked me to write you
recommend that he supports his fam
bly. He can't read so don't tell him,
lust take him. He Amt no good to
me. He amt done nothing but drink
lemon essence and play fiddle since

supply the demand this year? The
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce estimates the production at a
million and half new cars, where
as it's president predicts market for
twice that number. Which argues
loudly for early purchases, and lndl-
Gates a good market for used cars"
The commercial vehicle industry, so
far from being held up by the war,
was stimulated thereby-as was to
have been expected, in view of the
wide use of trucks not only in the
war zone, but wherever there was a
need for elastic means of transporta-
ton and roads to carry it. According
to the New York Times, the number
of commercial motor vehicles made In
the United States in 1913 was 227, PSI
as against 128,1 in 1917. This is suf-
ficiently indicative of the growth go
ing on in this branch of the industry.
1t also lends emphasis to the need of
widespread construction of perman-
ent. hard-surfaced roadWays Mime
sofa, with her program of building
6,70O miles of such road in the next de
cade or so, will be none too forward
In this matter.
As for the tractor, the youngest of
the automobile sisterhood, it is too
young to affrd much in the way of ex-
act statistics, but old enough and test
ed enough to be assured of great
role in the immediate future of Ameri-
can agriculture.
Meanwhile, the Show, with its add
ed industrial and commercial exhibit
featuresds ahead of all rivals either IN.
previous years or in other centers.

Saturday evening Marshall Chris

Saturday evening Marshall Chris
Jensen arrested two strangers who
had made an attempt to get away
with VIM. Wendt's automobile. Mr..
Wendt had his car in front of the
Becker meat market while he was at
tending to some business. When he
returned to the car, he found the
lights turned on and two strangers
seated IN the front seat They soon
made themselves scarce but not be-
fore Mr.. Wendt had a good look at
them. The failure of the starter to
work saved the car for Mr.. Wendt.
He reported the matter to Marshal
Christensen, giving a description of
the pair. The marshall had an idea
that he had seen the two men in
town during the day They had act

THE CALL

All our dead Heroes
Who are living still
George of the soft Heart
And the iron Will;
Paul of the dark eyes,
little Man of Nightly
Who on a blood-washed deck.
Had "Just begun to fight
Rise from your long sleep,
Proudly arisel
We, too, have fought and won
Victories.
Lee of the noble face,
Steadfast and brave,
And he into whose hands
His sword he gave,
Each served the right he saw
With fearless gaze,
Let not old hatreds stint
Their need of praise!
All our dead Heroes
Who on land or sea
Have paid the high price
Of Liberty!
BehOId them once again
With new lit eyes!
For we have made their dreams
Realities.
"We." say I? All, not so!
Who-who are these
Who have so lately faced
Deaths mysteries?
Still with the battle blood
Staining each breast.
Youngest of all this throng
Called from it's rest;
Waking as children wake
Ave struck from sleep,
Yet with the eyes of men
Who love-tryst keep?
These are the ones who went
Der the seas foam,
And cen with coming Peace
Will come not home
Who still in boyish bloom
Fen life did give,
Into nations Heart
Dying to live;
To them the debt we owe
The glory give.
Now low on Bonded knee,
This prayer be prayed!
Come now each spirit high,
Come to our aid!
Hard is the task-a world
To be remade.
Steady each trembling hand,
Each vision clear!
Danish the spectres dim
Of doubt and fear!
Grant us the patient mind,
The listening ear!
Give us the strength to climb
You slippery steep,
Leading the way for those
Millions who creep
Out of old tyrannies!
Must this not be,
Now we have fought and bled
To set them free?
All our dead Heroes,
Humbly we blow
Before your unseen power
Fall us not now!

saving more than an hour In actual time.
Mr.. Conger returned to Westhampton by
the same air route and expects to COM

good flying weather. In speaking of the

he passed Babylon, when the machine
