3 Girls Allowed to
"Beat" Their Way
Out of The Dalles

The Dalles, Or, Mar. 3.-PatroI
man James McClaskey thought that
he had three additions to the citS
rock pile force Saturday night,
when he Witnessed a husky braKe-
man force three supposed "bums'
to alight from the $50 east pound
passenger ain, after they had at
tempt. d to board the blind"
To his dismay, however, upon ar
resting the ''bums," lie found that
all thre were young women, with
their hair bobbed and wearing
mems clothes. They carried skirts,
wrapped in bundles, which they
wore when walking about towns on
the road they informed the police
nan.
ERtrolman McClaskey was then
in a dilemma. t would hardly do
to place the young women in the
city jail upon a vagrancy charge,
with other city guests housed there.
And besides If ne die arrest them.
they would not be very uscful as
workers on the city rock pile.
They told him that their homo
was in Salt Lake City, and that
they were cumming" their way
back home from Portland, after
losing jobs in that city. All they
asked was that they be allowed to
catch the next train out one head
ing in the general direction of Salt
Lake City preferred.
After considerable deliberation,
agreed to this proposal.
When the 1905 east bound train
pulled into the station, all three
girls Swung on" like experienced
-'cers of the blind" This time they
we're more fortunate in that they
we're not observed by brakeman.

This wonderful rat virus, which is
known as Alexander Rat-Killer, is
merely mixed with bread or meat
scraps and placed where rats, mice or
gophers can get to it. Within a few
hours after rat has eaten Alexander
Rat-Killer he gets a high fever and
suffers terrible thirst. He leaves the
barns and nesting holes and goes to the
open fields in search of pure air and
running water. Rats and mice affect
ed always die away from the barns
and houses, so there is no odor.
1t is scientific fact that one rat
affects others and soon the whole COL
ony leaves the buildings and dies. And
though this virus is absolutely deadly
to rats-chickens, hogs, cattle or any
farm animal can eat it and not be af-
fected at all.
So confident is Mr.. Alexander that
Alexander Rat-Killer will kill every rat
on your farm in less than weeks
time that he offers to send, as an in
troductory offer, a regular $500 tube
for only $1.00. Give it according to directions
and if at the end of weeks time you are able
to discover any rats, mice gophers on your
farm. your money will be refunded big
Kansas City bank guarantees that Mr.. Alex
Send NO MONEY. Just write to E. R.
Alexander, Alexander Laboratories, 118 Gate
way Station, Kansas City, Mo-, and the tube
will be mailed at once. When it arrives, pay
the postman only one dollar and postage on
the guarantee that if not absolutely satisfac-
tory your money will be returned without ques-
tion. Write today postcard will do-and
stop your rat losses now.

Wonderful Discovery by Noted
Scientist Kills Every Rat
Within a Weeks Time
Not a Poison.

Rats cost farmers over two hundred
millions of dollars year, through the
destruction of grain, poultry and build
ings. Farmers need no longer suffer
this loss because they can now kill off
all the rats on their farm in less than
a weeks time. This is possible through
the remarkable discovery of E. r.
Alexander, a Kansas City chemist,
who has perfected a virus which kills
rats, mice and gophers as though by
magic. This product is not a poison
it can be eaten by human beings or
any animal on the farm as safely as
their regular food, but means quick,
sure death to rats.

The woman who has no objec-

"Youll feel cooler these hot days if
you buy your next winters coal now

REASONABLE
A man doesn't have to have fish
ing license in the state of Washington,
according to a ruling Of the attorney
general, if his wife has one and he
merely rows the boat while she fishes,
and can produce his marriage license
when challenged by the game warden.

Why is it that the terms for

the house? Thus: A drunken
man is said to be "plastered" (like

plate); or is 'tpickled" (like vari-
Gus things to eat); or is "soaked''
Qike mothers weekly washing);
or is "three sheets to the wind''
(also like the weekly washing);
or is "full'' (like the coal bin

FOR NAVAL CANDIDATES

Testimony before the congressional
committee investigating methods used
by Newberry, a former naval officer,
to beat Henry Ford for the Michigan
United States senatorship is to the ef-
feet that Newberry had wooden imi-
tation of a battleship constructed, and
had moving pictures taken to aid his
campaign, showing him in uniform
strutting up and down the deck of the
fake ship. Why he stopped there is
a mystery. Any moving picture di-
rector with little trouble and expense
could have added the details of naval
battle. They could have had the flag
shot down and shown Newberry shin
ming up the mast to replace it. He
could have been gloriously wounded
doing that and shown refusing to go
below till the battle was won. What

never dance those dances anyway, ac-

SENDS DEPERATE
 GALL FOR PARTS
 TO OPHOEN|X FIRM

"A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse" was no more desperate call than one which came to us re- gently from the White mountains, ito please send along some parts so that he could get back home again." L. D. Sorey of the Western Auto Sup ply company, was telling. This party said that he had hit a deep chuck hole while travelling at a pretty good rate of speed and all at once found ourselves stuck with a broken down car and on inquiring where we could get service on supplies quickest as there were none to be had at Cooley he was referred to the Western Auto Supply agency and could this firm send him what he needed? He came into our home office later and want ed to thank the manager for the prompt service he had received, so needless to say we were able to help him out as we do many other motor ists in dire need.
 Such incidences come to us con- tinually and in order to help these motorists who really need service and need it badly when they do,' said Mir. Sorey, ''our organization has perfected what we believe to be a useful mail order department, in other words when an order for any part or accessory comes to us by mail or otherwise our stocks are so arranged that we are able to put our hands on any part desired and to have it on it's way to our customers with a minimum of delay.
 ''In fact we are in constant re- ceipt of letters and also have per- sonal visits from our customers thanking us for the prompt service we give them. The customer who may be in an isolated section and who is in need of a part for the imme- diate repair of his car requires quick action When this service. is rem dered we feel that we are building up an organization and valuable clientele.
 It is well known that great mail order houses reach the furthermost parts of the country by being able to give prompt and efficient service at a minimum of cost. In rounding out our part and accessory stock we feel that we are offering to the pub lie advantage of our special knowl- eedge of their requirements.
 Our ability to purchase in quan- tity gives the customer the benefit l of the lesser price while our l f stores reaching customers as far east a: | Chicago. We want it clearly under ! stood that our customers are entitled l to prompt and efficient service anC l by service we mean supplying part. | and accessories for which the de mand is only occasional. It is bN l supplying every want" concluded ! MT. Sorey, that confidence is gained l and a broad and satisfied clientel, | built up."

ITALIAN CLASSIC WON BY COOK WITH
 FRENCH BALLOT-8 8
Great Battle Between French and Italian Cars Ends In Victory for Former. Average Speed 904 Miles
 Reached by Famous Driver. De Palma Out In 21 st

Speed records of the world were broken, insofar as road racing is concerneds when Jules Goux in Ballot knocked off 324 miles at average speed of BOA miles per hour in the Italian Grand Prx event at Brescia Italy on the 5th of last month The details of this great racing contest now arriving in the United States and are furnishing much food for thought in the minds of those who following closely the racing game.
 The Italian Grand Prix held under the auspices of the Automobile Club of Milan, was staged on a specially prepared macadam road the course covering slightly more than 1O1 miles. It the fastest race run in Europe Not only that it broke the record established by Eddie Pullen in Mercer at Santa Monica California in 1914 when he averaged 84 miles per hour Goux's car of the famous French Ballots. The race struggle between two teams only representing France and Italy The French cars entered were all Ballots and the Italian were Flats Six cars in all were entered three of each make The cream of European automobile production was of represented in the contest and so great was the interest manifested that crowd of 90 900 people at tended.
 The drivers who handled the big French and Ital- ian familiar to many Americans Most of them have raced at some time or other on American soil. The French team composed of Jules Goux Jean Chassagne and Ralph DePalma while the Italian team handling the Flats was composed of Louis Wag- ner Sivocci and Bordino. The last named driver who has until recently been chief tester of the Lancia fac tory but who has thrown his fortunes in with the Fiat factory led the field for 13 laps and averaged the highest speed for the day, 9394 miles per hour.
 Direct from the French Grand Prix held at Le Mans France, the Balott cars entered the Italian Grand Prix. De Palma had the he drove at Indian (Contnued Page9 Section )
