The stream of blueberries that

way was almost continuous, long
bout supper time. Canoe load after
canoe load headed into port at that
hour. With decks awash they crossed
Long Lake in fleets. The day was
an ideal one for sunburned necks and
blueberry picking and if there is a
lone patch anywhere that has not been
gone over with fine-toothed comb,

Travels Over Miles
OF Mud; Turns Good
Highway Agitato,

J. H. Hansen, of the Jones-Han-
sen Cadillac company, returned
Thursday from Indianapolis, where
he and FIVE of his statesmen spent
Decoration day watching the speed
way races.
The trip Of 722 miles from Omaha
to Indianapolis was made in II
hours. The return trip took five
days.
A trip such as Hansen made
thre ugh Iowa on his return would
convince even the most pessimistic
mind of the necessity for hard sur-
faced roads. In many cases it was
necessary to spend hours digging
out of mud holes which were en-
countered at numerous places on the
River to River road. In some cases
where bridges were washed out the
Omaha men were forced to con-
struct their own bridges OF planks
from the washed out bridges.
One Of the surprising things was
the absolute indifference of many of
the farmers to the conditions of the
roads. They seemed to take the view

WITH FRANKLIN
Firms President Arthur
Holmes, Is Leading Engi-
neer Of Country On Air.
Cooled Engines.

In the personnel of the Holmes
Automobile Co., manufacturers OF
the Holmes improved air-cooled car,
faces THAI are,zfamiliar to the ex-
ponents of air-cooling are found in
numbers.
Arthur Holmes, president of the
Holmes Automobile Co., is we'll
known throughout the United States
as one time chief engineer and vice
president of the Franklin Auto
mobile Co., of Syracuse, N. Y,
where his work in developing air
cooling as applied to automobile
motors helped to bring him to his
present rank of leading engineer in
the country on air-cooling..
During the war period, Mr..
Holmes was actively engaged as
consulting engineer on aeroplane
motors of the air-cooled type for
combat planes. The Holmes i'm
proved air-cooled motor incorporates
the we'll known principles of design
hitherto found only in aeroplane
motors. which have added to the
high efficiency and low gasoline con-
sumption, which have characterized
all motors designed by him.
In charge of engineering depart
ment at the Holmes plant is H. B.
Massey, formerly with the Franklin
Automobile company, with whom Re
spent seven years in a designing ca
pacity.
c. H. Rockwell, vice president Of
the HolmesNautomobile, in charge Of
sales and advertising, was for years
connected with tie Franklin Auto
mobile company in charge of sales
in the larger territories. The manu-
featuring and sales destinies of~tke
Holmes Automobile company are
therefore placed in the hands OF men
Of broad experience in handling tie
type of car which the Holmes is the
final exponent.
1t is the statement of Mr.. Rock
we'll that the Holmes seven-passen-
ger touring car fills unique place
in the automobile industry. There
are, thousands OF experienced car
owners who have become accustom-
ed to plenty of room in their cars,
to ample seating capacity for seven
passengers, but who feel that gaso-
line mileage and tire service are too
costly. 1t is TO- these experienced
motorists with well defined ideas as
10 what constitutes satisfactory op-
Grating cost, that the Holmes makes
first appeal. 1t brings to roomy body
dimensions and unrestricted seating
comfort the economy that hitherto
has beer associated only with small
cars, generally of five-passenger Ca
pacity.

TRUCK ENTERS
new LIFE after
MEMORABLE RUN
Crosses United States Twice
and Sells for Within $500
of Original List
Price.

After twice crossing the United
States from Seattle to New York.
one and one-half ton GMC
truck has entered on a new life in
| the service of a private truck owner
Moreover, on resale, even with the
long mileage record of a. double
transcontinental journey, the truck
brought within $500 of its original
selling prise.
This example of GMC stability
and the way in which G. M. C..
trucks do hard work and continue
to do it has just come from the
factory. The truck in question is
that driven from Seattle to New
York by William Warwick with a
load of condensed milk and then
driven back again by Warwick. This
truck made one of the most re-
markable and memorable runs in
truck annals.
The record made by this GMC
in its journeys from coast to coast"
says Lee Huff of the Nebraska
Buick company, local dealers for
GMC trucks, was conclusive evi;
dence in itself of the ability of GMC
trucks to do hard work and to sur
mount the greatest obstacles of
overland travel. After more than
10000 miles of the most gruelling
travel which the truck had in its
two trips across the country, it
would have been no disgrace to the
construction and ability of the
truck, if. it had required considerable
overhauling and revamping before it
was sent out on any other work. As
a matter of fact, l am told, the truck
came through in such splendid shape
that nothing was needed for it ex-
cept such a going over as any truck
should have once a year.
For this truck to be sent back
to New York again and there be sold
to truck user for every day work
speaks even more for the trucks
ability and for its stamina. And On
top of that to have the selling price
only $500 below the original lisr
price of the truck is the most con-
vincing evidence of the regard in
which GMC trucks are held every
where by truck users who know. OF
course what sets the price on used
truck is the value that remains in the
truck, estimated in the light Of ex-
perience and in a survey of the
trucks mechanical condition"

Many stories have been told about

KEEP GOING ON THE BRIDGE.

IVA OST assuredly work on the bridge across the river
w should be pushed far as possible this year, and
the Board of Affairs and the municipal govern
ment which will into existence the first of September
count upon the hearty support of vast majority of
their fellow townsmen whatever steps they may find it
necessary to take to bring that about.
i is stated the engineers agree that the city would lose
Sl75000 deterioration of plant and in other ways if the
work were stopped now But that is merely part of the
loss merely that part that may readily be summed up as an
engineering proposition. The real loss would consist of
stopping the development of the entire city for whole year.
Too much depends upon the early completion Of the
bridge the Monongahcla permit it to be suspended
for SO much day. Everything set here for great
squirt forward but we will not be able to take it if the
bridge not finished early year If work were to be
stopped there would not be much hope of putting the
bridge in service until time in the year 1921 In the
meantime much Of our splendid opportunity might slip away
from US.
