of the appalling ignorance of som,

feet upon the, taxes in Richland
county than will the paving of
Broadway, New York. No, farm
ers, it won't cost you one cent to
ride on Wahpeton's pavements.-
Wahpeton Globe-Gazette.
The above not only discloses the
Gazette's real opinion of the farm
ers of Richland county, but also in
dicates most peculiar line of rea.
soning. The Gazette thinks it en-
tirely proper the City of Wahpeton
to plan, finance, build and main
tain pavements for the benefit of
that city's business men, but holds
up its hands in holy horror
when the farmers OF the state
propose to have the state plan, fin
ance, build, operate and maintain
a system of elevators and mills. In
the case of the elevators and mills
as we'll as that of the paving, the
money will not eventually come
out OF the taxpayers, but will come
from those receiving the benefits.
The Gazette knows this. unless it
isaffiicted with appalling ignor.
ance" it charges the farmers with
possessing.
In approving the city paving plan
and denouncing the state elevator
plan. the Gazette discloses it real
attitude-that city people are 50
much superior that they may use
their city government for purposes
for their own benefit, but the zap
palling]y ignorant" farmers and
common people of the state are to
be denied the same privilege.
An additional reason for the Gaz.
cites attitude is that paved streets
produce no profits for private bust
ness, while elevators and mills have
made the Gazette's big business
friends rich.

years ago, and for several seasons
previous the factory was unable to
supply its distributors and dealers with
enough cars to meet the demand. And
even with an output Of 10000 Sensible
Skies present conditions indicate that
history will repeat.
Demand from Farmers
"The demand from the agricultural
districts undoubtedly will be greater
than before. Not only has the farmer
learned how essential the automobile
is, but he can afford to buy one. The
gross value of his product has doubled
since the outbreak of the world war,
according to government statistics
"Nor is the metropolitan market
without rich possibilities for the
dealer. The unparalleled prosperity Of
the farmer is shared by the resident of
the city. Wartime increases in wages
and salaries will make it possible for
thousands of men and women to satisfy
their desire to own an automobile and
enjoy it's comfort and conveniences.
ut is logical to regard both the
farmer and the city dweller as Oak
land prospects For they have learned
the lesson Of conservation and thrift
and the Sensible Six with all it's
strength and power, is moderately
priced and economical to operate and
maintain, owners reporting returns of

lene and from 5000 to 10000 miles

"Scores -of women enthusiastically
participated in the course" said Mr.
Bonnell. "Many of them not only be-
came expert drivers but competent me-

standard Dodge Brothers chassis. All
of them praised the simplicity Of its
construction and its unusual ease of
handling.
"The value of this course in emer-
gency work was especially demon
strated in the gray hours last fall after
the terrific explosion OF the ammuni-
ton plants on the shores of the Rari-
tan. During that dark period four
Dodge Brothers cars-two ambulances

"The problems of the reconstruction

makers now are wrestling, have been

he said. "The decks are already

During the twelve months Of 1919

duce new body and engine effects, and to
them usually goes credit for every new
departure in motor car building. But
in the case of the new Elgin six the
improvements and refnements are the
result of what Elgin dealers from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and from the
Canadian border to the Gulf have sug-
gested to the Elgin Motor Car Cor
poration.
Only few days ago Darwin Hatch,
editor of "Motor Age" during visit
to the Elgin factory, expressed wonder
at the features embodied in the new
six and asked how the changes had been
made. In a conversation with c. S.
Rieman, president and general man
ager of the Elgin company, he de-
clared he thought it remarkable that
the engineers were able to work out SO
many improvements and retinements.
"Since you have watched the Elgin
from its start and are so familiar with
our car and organization, l am going
to let you in on little secret, Mr..
HATCH" said President Rieman. "The
Elgin engineers did not actually decide
upon the thirty-six improvements and
refnements embodied in the new model.
1t was the automobile buying public
that made this decision for us. 1t has
always been the policy of the Elgin
company to build the kind of car the
public wants, and we set out to learn
exactly what the need was.
eve found out through the only cri-
terion whose judgment along these
lines can be relied upon-the automo-
bile dealers. The changes are the re-
suit of suggestions sent US by dealers
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the Canadian border to the Gulf.
The dealers are out on the firing line
and are familiar with the performance
of the car under every conceivable con-
dition. Their desires represent what
the final judge, the automobile buyer,
demands in a car.
You will see, therefore, that the en-
cheering and manufacturing stats are
entitled to all the credit for working
out the details of the thirty-six i'm
provements and refnements, but the
dealers are primarily responsible
through their suggestions to US. 1t is
our policy to cooperate with the dealer
and the ultimate car buyer to the full
est extent, and this is one OF the prin-
cipal reasons why the Elgin dealers are
50 enthusiastic and so successful"

How Marmon Won
Liberty Motor Pennant
By Frank c.. Carrie
Vice-President, harmon Automobile
Company of New York

In October the Bureau of Aircraft
Production OF the United States Gov
eminent offered an honor flag to be
competed for during October, 1918, and
each succeeding month, to the Liberty
motor factory which could build the
standard twelve-cylinder United States
aircraft engines best and ship them
signed each factory.
Accordingly, the Ford Motor Com
pany, General Motors Company, the
Lincoln Motor Company. the Packard
Motor Car Company and the Nordyke
& Marmon Company entered a pro-
duction race on the first of October.
On the first day of November the
Champion Liberty Motor Builders Pen
nant was awarded the employees of the
Nordyke & Marmon Company for a
production and shipment of 246.4 per
cent of it's allotted quota of test per
fected Liberty motors for October.
On Saturday, November 2, 1918, the
pennant WAS unfrrled and presented to
the employees of the Nordyke & Mar.
mon Company in an impressive cere-
mony following parade of the 5000
men and women workers of the plant
through the streets of indianapolis to
University Park, where the unveilinp
and presentation ceremonies were held
IN the presence OF delegations of high
government and army officials and a
vast throng of spectators. 1t was g
gala day for Indianapolis and the NAT.
dyke &, Marmon employees.
Following the Saturday celebration
parade and presentation the pennant
was raised in a simple, informal man
ner Monday, November a, in the plant
Enclosure. All of the Liberty motto
workers took part in the event and ex
pressed pleasure in having put over Sc
fine surplus for Uncle Sam.
Then week later the armistice. O.
course, the Bureau Of Aircraft Produc

and all contests declared off. A LITTLE
later November 49, the Nordyke [
Marmon Company was given perma

been manufactured the Peerless
has never been able to produce
it in quantities sufficient to satisfy the
demands of the motor public. This was
due entirely to war work, in which the
Cleveland concern has been actively en-
gagged for more than four years. Up
to and including part of 1918 rs per
cent of its capacity was devoted to the
manufacture of war materials; last
year this was increased to 100 per cent.
Under the curtailed production pro-
gram of 1918 the Peerless sold the last
of it's passenger-car model in August.
1t notified its distributors on August %
that no further orders could be filled
the output permitted by the War In
dustries Board has been sold-and dur
ing the remaining four months dealers
were compelled to turn away pros
pective buyers. At the urgent request
of the latter, dealers in many instances
sold the cars on display in their sales
rooms, thus depriving themselves of
even show model.
Now that the war is over the Peer
less has started production of the two
power-range model on basis that
should, within the year, enable it to
satisfy the trades demand, both past
and present. This is in keeping with
the policy announced by the Peerless
officials prior to the cessation of hos
tilities.
Increased faclities-the result of war
measures-will afford the manufacture
ers an opportunity to reach maximum
production on this model within the
very near future
with these added facilities at hand,
we soon will be in position to pro-
ducc the Peerless eight on scale here
tofore uninterrupted, and should, for the
first time in the history of the car, be
able to assure prompt delivery to all
buyers" declared Mr.. Schmunk in sum-
ming up the situation.

The death Of Hillard Rhyme
takes from this community one
of our best citizens. One who
has done his part, quietly and
without ostentation in the deyel-
opement Of the best elements Of
