VAUGHAN, JOSEPH An loving memory
of my Dear Boy, who went away June 10
1918.
1 cannot say, l will not say,
That he is dead-he is just away;
With a CHEEKY smile and a wave Of the hands
He has wandered into an unknown land,
And left us dreaming. how very fair
1t needs must be since he fingers there.
And you, oh you, who the widest yearn
For the old-time step and the glad return,
Think of him faring on as dear
In the love of there as the love of here,
Think of him still the same. l say
He is not dead-he's just away.

Harnley & Co. Are
Pioneers in Auto
Topping Business
Growth of Business in Past
Four Years Recently Led to
Establishing of Special De-
partment for This Work.

Year by year the business of making
automobile tops, side curtains and
cushions increases, say members OF
the Hamley & Company saddlery.
Because of the growth Of this busi-
ness in the past four years, the COM
pany has made special arrangements
for the making of tops and other auto
mobile necessities. Included in recent
extensive improvements made by the
Hamleys, is a special addition into
which machines can be driven and
measured for tops. cushions, etc. Dur
ing fair weather. the cars are driven
to the rear of the store and left in the
driveway.
NJ s. Whittier is in charge of this de-
partment of the saddlery. and two as
sistants are employed.
The company says that as the sale
of machines increase, so increases the
business of making tops. After two
years of hard usage, tops are generally
ready for repairs, state employees, and
cushions and side curtains need re-
pairs. Generally when an auto owner
has his machine painted he gets new
curtains. top and cushions to com-
plete the improvements.

find more than one necessary.
/ Cattle raisers, sheep men and wheat
growers have found farming much

have come as the result of the in
creased use of autos. Home life with

from the farm. A few minutes drive
from the city takes a large number of
the county's farmers ana stockmen
directly to their ranches in tinc for a

On the farms the use of motor
trucks has taken big step forward
ir the past few years and prabably as
mrciI or more wheat is now being rar-
ried to warehouses by gasoline tnan

CITY TRAFFIC DEMANDS
, THAT CARS ACCELERATE
RAPIDLY; COLE 8 DOES

Due to the continually increasing
congestion OF traffic in cities, greater
stress than ever Is being placed on the
ability of car to accelerate rapidly.
The apparent advantage of being able
to getaway instantly are appreciat-
ed by the motorist who desires to take
advantage Of breaks in traffic on the
thoroughfares Of the larger cities
where traffic is held up continually.
Not only has the Cole Aero Eight
the. ability to pick up speed with re-
markable ease. but the use Of small
wheels adds to it's native capacity.
Hence. II is said that the Cole Aero
Eight is abie--to accelerate from a
standing start to so miles an hour
more rapidly than any other stock car
so far tested officially.

speed the cars rush forward. The
speedometer of my car marks 40 miles
an hour but we are not gaining on the
gazelle, who appear easily to keep
their distance of four or five hundred
yards ahead of us. At another sig
nal we increase the pace to 80 miles
an hour The plain is level, but there
are stones and little undulations and
many small watercourses. merely little
declivities in the surface, but none the
less exciting to pass over, and the
exhlaration is intense.
Four Killed, One Taken Alive.
1t is wonderful driving on the part
of the chauffeurs. and the cars sway
from side to side, and rise and fall,
like boats in rough sea. We are
closing upon the herd now, and it
looks as though it will be my car that
will be the first to come up with them,
but suddenly they turn aside to the
right. and pass down the line of adj
vancing cars.
The Basha of Marrakesh's 1.-THE fig
ure is clearly visible as he stands IN
his swaving car. The gaZelle pass
him, and with right and left he brings
down two-beautiful shooting. kaid
Hammou's car is the next, and lie, too,
shoots his two gazelle. Once more
the herd swerves, and passing be-
tween tt cars, breaks back to the
rear and is allowed to escape without
further moestation--all but one. a
young doe, who paralyzed with fear
stands motionless. and is easily cap
tured alive and unhurt, to be carefully
conveyed back to Marrakesh to be-
come a pet in the basha's house.
1t may be argued that this class OF
hunting is not sport that the g3Nelie
have no chance of escape, butss.N IS
not so. The risk is great, an acd&ent
may occur at any moment, and7the
stony surface of the ground gives the
gazelle a good chance OF the many
herds we saw the four gazelle shot
and the one taken alive were oar

miles of @ distance on the plain alone
without counting our ride to and from

requires the greatest skill, and the
shooting is by no means easy. To hit

punched cows on the range in between

and worked as a mule skinner with a
government outfit.
His thirst for adventure led him to
strike up an acquaintance with the
James boys, notorious bandits and out
laws, in Kansas City in 1874. His
reckless courage attracted Jesse
James to the boy and finally led him
to accept him as member of his
band of desperadoes.
Adair first worked" with the James
gang when they pulled off" the IA

trick was on the lips of the entire ma
