A REAL HYPOCRITE.

In speaking Of hypocrites and self
ish business interests, it appears that
the editor of the raving columns Of
the News is entitled to the blue rib
bon without any opposition when
speaking in these terms.
The Royal Neighbors gave a dance
the night of Memorial day and had
the dance tickets and all advertising
matter for same printed in the News
office, and the job was gladly accep-
ted. Then, after doing the printing,
this hypocrite turned around and crit
icized the order in his wailing sheet
for giving a dance on Memorial day.
If his narrow minded beliefs were
against a dance being held on that
day, why did he not refuse to do the
printing for this dance? Simply be-
cause he does not allow his principles
to conflict with his selfish business
interests.
Bring out your W%ebster's, Bill, then
turn to the word "hypocrite" and you
will find yourself we'll defined.

MANY FARMERS PICNICS
PLANNED FOR THIS MONTH

The farm bureau will hold summer
picnics the last two weeks in June
and will thus give every one in the
county a chance to attend a picnic
and hear some good outside speakers
and enjoy good home sports, such as
ball games, etc. The speakers from
Bozeman can stay only ten days,
therefore it will be necessary to group
the county accordingly. Several farm
bureau communities will unite and
have one big picnic and the same con-
tests which will be arranged locally
by a program committee. Every one
will bring lunch and we will all eat
together. We want every one in the
community to attend whether a farm
bureau member or not. The farm
bureau is a countrywide organization
for the benefit of all and we want you
all present.
Come and enjoy yourself by see
ing some good home sports and a
good talk by w. l.. Beers, field agent
in marketing, and w. E. Tomson, live
stock expert. The program will start
in the forenoon. Come early and stay
all day.

BRANCHING OUT.

Bill Rhodes, editor Of the Valley
County Knocker, has been in Nashua
frequently the past two weeks, and
occasionally was in consultation with
members of the board of directors of
the Farmers Produce company. 1t
has been rumored that Brother Will
helm is trying to secure the position
of buyer for that concern in u city
in which event he would discontinue
the publication Of the paper at Glas-
gov. We do not know how true the
rumor is, but if such is the case, it
would appear that his supply of stock
in the Valley County News is about
exhausted and he is looking for new
worlds to conquer. And he woulc

makes of ears competing. On only
one day of it's run did the Overland
fail to exceed the official A. A. Al
record. That was the third day-an
afternoon and night of rain with mud
dy going under the axles. The car
then fell eight miles under the mark,
but it's performance was so unusually
high that it averaged 624.3 miles for
each day of the 1853 hour run.
The motorist is interested in tests
of this kind only as they point him
to some feature of economy in opera
ton and upkeep. The test made by
E. R. Carhart, Overland distributor
in Oklahoma, appears to be replete
with such features. The judges of the

occurred in the strike situation.

they will submit a compromise plan,
which they hope will prove acceptable
to both sides, and furnish a basis for
adjustment of the difficulty existing
here.

Breaking the Worlds Record in an Overland
Overland Model 80 Travels Seven
Days and Nights Without
Stopping Motor.
COVERED 4,370.1 MILES
Gear Was Sealed in High, Making
Hardest Possible Test on All
Cars Working Parts.

Remarkable automobile perform
ances + not as frequent these days
as they were four or five seasons ago;
the American automobile manufacturer
has attained so very high a standard
of product. That may explain why
SO much unusual attention has been
attracted during the last few days to
a new worlds performance record
made by an Overland stock car, Mod
ell 90.
New from the factory, this Model
80 was taken from the salesrooms of
the Carhart Motor Company at Ok
lahoma City, Okla, on March goth,
and driven to the lobby of the Lee
Huckins Hotel. There the gear shift
lever was disconnected from the low,
middle and reverse gears, and the gear
box was sealed in high. The motor
was started; the car left the hotel and
was April 5th.
The Overland 90, driven by a relay
of four drivers, ran night and day, the
motor never stopping for 1913 contin-
uous hours. The drivers had no adj
vantage of gear shifting during the
two days of rain on muddy roads and
the twelve to fifteen hours they spent
each % hour day on good and bad
city pavements, in the rush of traffic
and on the Oklahoma roads. 1t has
been said that if a motor a will
stand up on an Oklahoma road, it will
endure in any other section of the
world.
In these v days and nights, dur
ing which the gear could not be shift
ed from high, nor the motor stopped
for c%arburetor adjustment OF spark
plug change, the Model 90 broke the
worlds record for a test of this kind
The speedometer, carefully checked
showed that it had travelled 1870
miles. That is practically one-sixtf

to a trip from New York to Los An

trail to Oklahoma City,

age was made in Chicago, severa

Four controls were established for
change of drivers and refilling with
gasoline and oil. The captain Of the
driving team was Linn Mathewson,
we'll known in the east and middle
west as a famous racing driver on the
speedway tracks. He is now the re-
tail manager for the Carhart Motor
company at Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoma public was advised
in advance of the test. The daily
newspapers bulletined the progress of
the run each day. In addition to that
publicity, Mr.. Carhart arranged to
flash on the motion picture screens
of the city, the cars mileage every
four hours. The run was officially
started by F. W. A. Vesper, the pres
ident of the National Automobile
Dealers association.
This amazing demonstration of the
economy possibilities of the light
weight American car of h%igh-grade
manufacture is already reflected in
an increasing inquiry in this and adj
joining territories for motor cars. 1t
is estimated that there will be an ap-
preciable shortage of motor cars this
: year-the first free season after the
| restrictions of the vaccinations pro-
duction. The local dealer for the
Overland, John J. Domek of the Glas-
gov Overland Company, points out
that while this run has produced a
very great many inquiries for the
Model 90, conceded to be one of the
most successful of American automo-
biles, the production of these cars has
been limited this year by the parent
company in Toledo.
