LOON IS QUICKER
 THAN UNSEEN BULLET
Peoples Home Journal)

Dippy the Loon is more often heard than seen, though to those who visit the lakes of the northern United States and Canada he is familiar enough at a distance. This is espe cially true of those lakes deep in the Green Forest, for Dippy is a lover of solitude.
 Dippy belongs to the order of diving birds and is often called the Great Northern Diver, because he is very wonderful diver and swimmer His legs are chiefly for swimming, and, for this reason are placed so far back that when standing on solid ground he appears to be upright. His feet are fully webbed and are big enough to drive Dippy through the water at great speed.
 On land Dippy is so clumsy that it is with difficulty he can get about at all. He cannot rise into the air from land, and so he is seldom found more than few feet from the water. His wings are narrow and small for his size; 1; but once Dippy gets under way in the air he flies swiftly and far In order l to rise he uses his wings and feet | padding over the surface of the water l for some distance to get up sufficient speed for his wings to lift him. In this
 respect he is like an airplane which 1 attains great speed on land or water before it can rise.
 The common loon is glossy black or

a day from tourists and local auto users. He attributes this, of course. to the fact that the Ford car, the Ford truck and the Fordson tractor have become as necessary and as common as the telephone and the type writer and the windmill, and the aver age user of Ford's products knows he will obtain the information for his needs from the Ford dealer--the Ford dealer that is to be found in every town in the United States. He con- siders it practically necessity for the members of his organization to be able to answer at once and correctly the questions the tourists and his pa irons ask. Ed Rudolph, as the local Ford agent, has made service and maintenance his watchwords, and the constant and rapid increase of his business shows the confidence the community has in his methods.

NASH DEALER TELLS
 MHY SPRING DEMAND
 FUR CARS. |S GREAT

Increased individual buying power on the part of the public is responsi- ble for the greatest spring demand for motor cars in the history of the au- tomobile business, according to Joseph McAleer, local Nash dealer.
 Dealers throughout the country re- port an extremely high percentage of sales for spring delivery in which no other car is taken in on trade" says MT. McAleer. With a volume of busi- ness greater than ever before at this time, Nash dealers tell me that. in addition to sales involving a used car, there are an unprecedented number of sales in which no car is taken in trade. This means, taking the country as a whole, that thousands of persons be- cause of increased individual buying power this year, are choosing their first automobile.
 The increase in buying power is un- doubtedly due to a number of things that developed during the eighteen months preceding the signing of the armiStice.
 While. during that period, the cost of living was higher, money was never i more plentiful In the country <diS- tricts farmers received good compen- sation for wheat and other cereals while in the large industrial centers work was plentiful and wages higher than in normal times. This condition, of course, meant good business for merchants. both in small towns and in large cities.
 ! At the same time, there was a gen.
 eral tendency on the part of the public l to avoid eXtravagances, with the re 1 suit that the individual buying power i of this country has been greatly in 1 creased. This is shown in the large ] numbers of cars that are being traded | in by thos now ready for a new car 1 and hy the unusually large number i of sales that are being made to those
 who are purchasing their first car.
 With conditions swinging back to
 normal and with the relaxation that 1 has come over the country following
 the trying IS months period, it is only
 natural that this increased individual i buying power is reflected in the unus
 ual demand for cars this spring

His breast and belly are pure white; his bill straight and pointed. Dippy is a big bird, being nearly three feet long. There is a black -throated loon and a red throat ed loon-a very handsome fellow.
 Looms feed almost exclusively on fish. They are wonderfully keen sighted and so quick in movement that they often dive at the flash of a gun and are safely under water before the shot reaches where they were swim ming.

Eugene c. Williams

Last Saturday afternoon, May 10, the officials
and inmates of this institution shocked hear
of the death of Mr.. Eugene c. Williams, supern-
tendent of the twine factory. His death occurred
about 2:30 o'clock at the city hospital in Saltwater
While Mr.. Williams health had been affected for
time, he still continued his duties until April
l, when he became confined to his bed with a comp
lication of Diseases and on May 6, his condition
showing no improvement, he removed to the
city hospital where he remained until the end.
Mr.. Williams was born March 10, 1872, at
Libertyvile, Ill. His father was Robert Williams
of Kentucky, and his mothers maiden name before
her marriage was Miss Laura Josephine Smith. When
Mr. Williams was but small child the family
moved to Nebraska, where they resided for a num-
ber of years. In 1901 Mr.. Williams came to Still
water and entered the service of the Minnesota
State Prison as guard. He remained in that posi-
tion but short time, receiving promotion to the
Office of night captain After serving two years as
night captain Mr. Williams was offered position in
the twire factory foreman, which he accepted.
He soon acquired such thorough knowledge of the
manufacture of twine, that, in 1904 Warden Wolfer
appointed him superintendent and it is partly due
to him that the Minnesota State Prison twine plant
is the wonderful success that it is.
Mr.. Williams was we'll liked and highly esteem
ed by both the officials and inmates of this nstitu-
ton. He always took great deal of interest in the
welfare of the inmates doing all that lay in his pow
to make their unfortunate condition in life
little brighter and there are many here who will
feel his loss keenly.
The funeral was held from Simonet's under
taking parlors under the auspices of B. P. 0. E.

factory was shut down during the whole of Monday
afternoon.
