BUCKWHEAT CAKES.

Early this Thanksgiving morning,
How my appetite awakes,
In my mothers tidy kitchen
When she's baking buckwheat cakes.
Early this Thanksgiving morning,
When the frosty daylight breaks,
Give me steaming, tempting buck
wheats-
Mothers dainty buckwheat cakes.
Talk about your roasted turkey
This is good enough for me:
Give me plenty wholesome buckwheats
And I'll quite contented be.
Early on this frosty morning,
just scent those buckwheat cakes,
And the cup of steaming coffee
How my appetite awakes.
Take cake upon your platter,
Island make of it with cream;
Add the dripping amber honey
Delicious! Oh, it is dream.
Put a cake upon the butter,
Let the butter melt between,
With cup of mothers coffee
A better treat I've never seen.
Talk about your roasted turkey,
shall quite contented be
If you'll give me plenty buckwheats-
They are good enough for me.
Oh, the land of buckwheat batter
Is the land where l propose
To awake tomorrow morning
In the land where buckwheat grows.

AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE
COMPANY PREPARING TO
GIVE OAKLAND SERVICE

The American Automobile company
was organized in Salem recently for
the sole purpose of distributing the
well known Oakland Sensible six au-
tOmobile. And, although the shop is
not fully equipped as yet, a good bus
mess is already being enjoyed, and the
company will soon be in a position to
give Oakland service.
The repair shop is in charge of D..
+. Wade, an experienced and capable
mechanic and patrons are thus assur-
ed that work done there will give sat
iSfaetiOn.
p. n. Anderson and D. Samuel, dis
tributOrs for Polk and Marion counties,
report that they have, on order, a good
supply of Oakland repair parts, to-
gethcr with the third shipment Of Oak
lands, two ears of which are equipped
with wire wheels.
They also have announced the install
lation Of a new gas pump and are now
ready to give service in gasoline and
oils.

FIGURES SHOW SAVING
MADE DU AUTO TRUCKS
.Chas. Liyesley Demonstrates
Truck Economy As Com
pared To Teams.

That auto trucks are far superior TO
horsc-drawn vehicles as a means OF To-.
cal freight transportation is readily
demonstrated by figures cited by Chas.
Livcsley, who has just established his
headquarters as agent for the Diamond
T at the Marion Garage.
According to the figures which arc
cited by Mr.. LiveslcJ, and which are
compiled by the federal government, the
average cost of general hauling by truck
is Is cents Der ton mile, as against %
cents per ton mile where it costs from
From figures gathered by the govern.
ment among farmers relating to wheat
hauling the statistics show that a motor
driven truck will transport wheat at 10
cents per ton mile where it cost from
30 to 80 cents to make the same haul
by team.
''The entent to which the general
public is beginning to realize the saving
which can be accomplished through the
use Of trucks" said Mr., Livesley, ''is
demonstrated in the increase in the
number of trucks put into use in the
United States during the past few
years. In 1914 there were only 10000
trucks in use in the country, while
figures for the current year show there
are over 1901 00 in use"
Mr.. Liveslcy made the number in use
100000 this week when he placed two
Diamond T trucks in this city, selling
one to the r. A. Livesley Co., and the
other to the Van Doren cannery.

.ELGIN anniversary
SEES ST CARS PLACED
End Of First Year in Salem
Finds Popular Six Well
Established.

Sixty seven cars distributed in the
territory tributary to Salem, to say
nothing of those sold by the dealers
he supplies in other parts of the state.
That is the record which Lee l.. Gil
bert, distributor for the Elgin Six IN
the western Oregon counties south of
Portland, points to in summing up the
results of his first year in Salem,
Three years ago Mr.. Gilbert bought
out the Elgin agency in Portland and
threw his energies into the task of
putting Elgin up among the sales lead,
ers in the Rose City with the result
that a year later he was awarded the
district agency that he still holds. To
get closer to the center of his territory
Mr.. Gilbert decided to make his head
quarters in Salem and on March Is,
1918, opened one of the finest appoint
ed salesrooms and best equipped shops
in this part of the state.
Mr.. Gilbert points with more than
ordinary pride TO the fact that among
the 81 Elgins which have been sold out
of the Salem agency in the past year,
many have been "rcpeaters, - persons
so well satisfied with their original
ear that they have traded in machines
only one year cid for new one Of the
1919 model, Elgin service, he points
out, is one Of the chief reasons why
Elgin owners are so well satisfied.
"Not one of the many people to
whom we have sold Elgin ears have
had to pay out one cent for service, =
said Mr.. Gilbert. "Thc service cards
we issue positively insure Elgiir owu-
ers Of service at any Elgin agency and
there are no lengthy waits for parts,
or supplies. We Asep u stock shelves
filled all the time.
During the 10 months Mr., Gilbert
has been in Salem he has become known
as enc Of the live business men Of the
community and a strong booster for
good roads. Intent on making Salem
his home, he has moved his family
here and has affiliated himself with
such civic organizations as the Cher
rians, Commercial club and the lllihee
club.

For the motorist who is also an ang.

from his business ties for the time nee

fishing trips, the opening of Thomas
Creek to fishing this year has present
ed a solution to the problem that few
automobile owsers in Salem fully APP
preeiate.
There are few streams in this immed-
late vicinity which offer better fish
ing than does Thomas Creek and its
easy accessibility to motorists OF this
city should make it much more popular
than is now the ease. Briefly express
ed, It fills a want that has been felt
BY local sportsmen for a long time, pro
viding a place which can be reached
easily in two hours Of moderate driving
over roads which offer few Difficult

enough to satisfy the demands Of the

The Motorcycle For
Utility And Recreation

There are two reasons that influence
the purchase Of a MISUNDERSTANDING
and recreation, SAYS Harry w, Scott
local Harley Davidson dealer. Some
time il is bought more for its practical
usefulness, sometimes for refreshmont
Of body and mind; but always for both
reasons. 1t is only natural that II a
motorcycle is employed for useful serv-
ice, it can also be depended upon for a
delightful and stimulating diversion.
The selection Of @ motorcycle should
be made wisely. When seeking a good
mount, the safest guide for a diserimi
nate buyer are past records Of perform
ances and prestige. Regardless Of what
ever purpose it is to be used for, a mo
toreycle that will give faultless service
is the one that win not only prove an
assurance Of satisfaction, but will win
the riders affections as well.

OVerhaulng Of Magnetic
Should Be Done Only By
Experts, Barton States

Although magnetos are made with
exacting care and from the best avail
able materials. there are conditions
and accidents which will cause these
otherwise mfailing servitors to be.
come unfit for the most efficient ser.
vice, says Il. D. Barton, of the Auto
Electric service company Of this city.
''When such conditions arise, or
when the user fears that his magnetic
may require a complete overhauling
by reason of extended use, il is advis-
able that the magnetic be given to an
expert in magnetic repair work.
"The high tentiOn magnetic is a lit
tie different from any other meehan-
ism in the electrical field, and there.
fore the ordinary electrician or mechan
ic is not, competent to repair it,. Spe-
eial training is necessary to equip a
mechanic for this work. The mechanics
employed in magnetic service stations
have been trained in the magnetic fac.
tories.
"The condition in which magnetos
frequently arrive at these shops thor
oughly justifies the statement that
none but expert workmen should at
tempt to effect repairs or adjustments
The instruments come in damaged and
deranged in many ways, and because
of this fact the charges on these in
struments are necessarily higher than
they would be if the instruments had
been sent to an official repair shop in
the first lgaee. In all distributors
shops every tool that is necessary for
timing. adjusting, testing and assemb-
ling magnetOs is to be found. The
work is facilitated in every manner
possible and is done only by men train
ed by magnetic companies. -
