FOUR-CYLINDER CARS PROVE
BEST IN ENDURANCE RACES
Designers OF Snxon-DupIcx Arc
Pleased with Showing Made by
Smnll, Efficient Motor.

Though the size and design OF
motors has undergone great changes
since the first indianapolis 500 e
race, it is n fact that only once since
the track was built has the grca,
classic been won by car OF more
than four cylinders. This was on the

tor OF sales, advertising and service

year under the new regulations re-

not n little comment in engineering

the designers OF the new Saxon Du-

1T is not at all unusual for null
ti-cylinder motor to come out VIC
torious in the shorter races. But in
the heart breaking 5O0-inilc grind
over the nonc-too- smooth bricks Of
Indianapolis the four-cylinder motor
has with one exception proved its
greater power and stamina.
The high speed endurance race at
Indianapolis has been repeatedly de-
clared by motor car engineers to con-
stitute the most searching test of an
entire car that could possibly be dc.
vised. II that is true, its repeated
verdict has certainly been in favor OF
the four-cylindcr motor and against

Farmers who did not sell at the high
figures offered two months and more

is held. Bankers and farmers alike
are unable to predict whether the
price will come back but at present
quotations for the 1899 crop sales

represents a loss TO the financiers.

that ii would be unfair to finance the

wheat while refusing assistance to the
growers to bring their grain TO a rea'
sonable figure.
