Entertainment a Success.

A~SS>oos
The program given Saturday night
under the auspices of the Rebekah
lodge was a splendid success. The
hall was packed with an appreciative
audience. All the numbers were well
rendered. The band boys made their
first appearance to the public this
time and received loud applause. Evil
IDENTIFY they are determined to win
laurels.
The songs are always good, as Zim
norman can boast of fine vocal talent.
The ladies quartet appeared for the
first time and we are assured it we'll
be called upon again.
The "Broken Engagement" by four
high school girls, was exceptionally
we'll given, showing the untiring ef-
forts of Mrs. Henry Rust, who had
trained them.
The "Sniggles Family" also created
considerable amusement, the leading
part being taken by Miss Bishop, who,
with her eight talented daughters,
took the town by storm.
Coffee and sandwiches were served
by the ladies of the lodge, the net pro-
ceeds being somewhat over $40. The
lodge wishes to thank all who gave
their patronage and assisted in the
program.

COld-and a Vision.


What a country it is, to be sure!
Yesterday, in northern Maine, the
thermometer shrank to as degrees be.
low zero-beyond which point, say ex.
perienced arctic explorers, it is unsafe
to travel-while at Palm Beach to
which, like heaven, we hope to GO
some day, Old Sol coaxed the mercury
we'll up beyond 70 degrees and bath
ing and beach-combing we're enjoyed
as usual.
In no other nation where quick
transportation is a reality, not a
dream, could one find such diversified
weather. From sub-arctic to sub
tropical is little more than a 24-hou1
journey. Of course, there is the ex-
pense involved which makes such a
trip prohibitive for most of us. But
may the day not come when we all can
travel as we please and, so far from
suffering financial loss, realize pro-
fit? The constant tendency is to less
and less isolation. The country and
city have drawn nearer by hundreds
of miles and many hours in the past
three decades. This has been due as
much to the perfection of telephone
telegraph and wireless as to the steam
train and automobile. In other words
it is more our thought which is swiftly
projected in this day than ourselves.
The aeroplane will solve the problem
for our clumsy bodies, feeble in speed
and stamina as compared to those OF
the beasts of the field and fowls OF the
air. We shall be enabled to breakfast
in Boston and lunch in St. Augustine
if we are of a mind to do so. And
eventually air transportation will be
far cheaper than any known form OF
the present.
With this increase in facilities, the
average mans interests are sure tc
broaden. He may be personally and
presently involved in affairs carrying
him into a dozen states during the
course of week. He will journey fo1
gain and by means which surely
should never lose it's thrill unless man
becomes ornithic and grows his own
wings!
Thus, in the years to come, we shall
achieve in fact what the ancient Arat
dreamed of the flying carpet. We may
ski in the forenoon and loll in warm
sands beneath the declining sun. We
may inspect municipal heating plant
in the morning and an orange planta-
ton five hours observation-disclosures

Can Hank Do It?

Try as an editor may, it is i'm
possible not to write about Henry
Ford. Perhaps Henry is an even
better publicity man than he is an
inventor, manufacturer, scientist,
statesman, editor, fnancier and phil
anthropist. Be that as it may, it is
necessary to chronicle the fact that
the f1iyver king is working, in his DE-
troit research laboratory on a plan to
make automobiles-as he calls them
out of cotton.
Lightness is the word in modern
automobiles, and Henry is going in for
lightness. If he can get the necessary
strength, too, out Of the stuff he is
experimenting with, there may result
car that an able-bodied citizen can
not only ride around in with incredible
economy but can pick up and carry
around with him when he gets down
town, thereby dextrously fciling car
thieves. Red Wing Eagle.

Thursday night at about II o'clock
when the school house was seen to be

to notice it, but it was then too late
to save much. 1t is a mystery to the
people how it caught fire when no fuel
had been put into the stove to hold
fire over night. Miss Florence Rich

norman Raise Calves That
Bring Valuable Prizes.
Gold watches were presented to
Myrtle and Laurence Spencer of Zlm-
norman by c. C. Hickman, county
agent, at the last meeting of the Ii
vonia Community club. The watches
were given in behalf of and in the
name of the Aberdeen Angus associa-
ton of America as a reward for the
consistent and successful work which
both Myrtle and Laurence had done IN
the baby beef club work last year.
Their calves won first prize in their
respective classes at the county CON-
test last fall. Both calves were later
shown at the state contest at South
St. Paul in November.
According to the county agent, nine
of the twelve contestants in the coun-
ty contest last year made a good
profit on their calves, thirty dollars be-
ing the smallest profit made by any
one of them. It was explained that
the members who did not make profit
failed to do so because they did not
take proper care of their calves and
did not heed good advice when given
them.
The following statements show the
profits made by Myrtle and Laurence
on their calves last year:

24-Hour Advertising
Brings 10000 a Day
to See New Star Car

Just how effectively newspaper dis
play advertising may be utilized in the
introduction of a new product was
demonstrated in New York recently by
w. C. Durant, president of Durant
Motors, inc, and builder Of the new
Star car.
A ~three-day showing of the complete
line of Star cars-the first exhibit of
models other than the touring car
was made at the showrooms Of the
Poertner Motor Car company, 1883
Broadway. June IA. Is and is. An
average of close to 10000 persons a
day visited the showrooms and inspect
ed the line during the three days. The
actual figures were 1886 on June IA:
q .454 on June II. and 1928 on June
16. a total of $1,000.
The showrooms were open from .
a. m. until midnight. and it was neces-
sary each night to put out the lights
to clear the store of people. a record
of attendance was kept hourly and the
tabulated figures show the biggest
hours attendance. 3.401 between II
noon and l p. M, on the last day of
the exhibit. The lightest attendance
was between Q and 10 a. m. on June
- when so persons were recorded.

ALL OAKLANDS GET
N8-A0URR RUNNING
BLOCK MOTOR TEST
Every Effort Made to Check
Defects Before Placing
. Into Chassis.

An eight-hour running block test is
given every motor before it goes into
the Oakland chassis. This test is made
particularly severe because officials be-
lieve that defects in a motor may not
be discovered until it is actually in
operation.
If there is anything out of tune it
will be discovered in that time" states
G. }. Nephler, general sales manager
of the Oakland Motor Car company.
The motor, after all, is the heart of
the car, n no motor is allowed to be
placed in a car in our factory until we
have exhausted every human means to
see that it is in perfect working order"
After the motor has been given the
eight-hour block test and found in good
condition. it is removed to the valve
grinding department.. where the valves
are removed from the head and all
parts cleaned in the cleaning vat. The
gaskets and head are replaced and
the motor then undergoes a bench in
spectiol, when oil pan and bearing
caps are removed to be inspected once
again.
Then the motors are removed to the
silent test rooms. where each motor
is run for a considerable time to de-
tect any noises. An inspector then cor
reefs any defect that may be indicated
by any noise outside of the usual mo-
tor "purr.' After the motor has been
okayed as perfect. the final parts are

TOO LARGE LOAD
AND EXCESS SPEED
WRECK SOLID TIRES
Change in Size or Type VIII
Often Correct Faulty
Service.

When solid tires have not given
service, rather than apply new tires.
assuming that the old tires rave failed
due to some manufacturing fault, 1t
would be well to investigate the Serv.
ice the truck is being operated IN. ii
the load the truck is called on } carry
is found to be in excess OF the norman
rated capacity of the truck or exceeds
the maximum carrying capacity OF tne
fires. the more satisfactory course is
70 change the tires for a size or type
that will meet the conditions as found
The limitations of each size and type
Of solid tires are pretty well established
and if these limitations are exceeded,
a larger size or a different type of tire
will quickly correct the faulty service
and an Improvement in tire mileage VIII
soon be noted, says the technical sefV-
ice department of the United States
Tire company. -,
The service rendered by solid tires
is largely dependent on three factors:
The speed at which the vehicle is driv-
en-. the load transported and the type
or condition of the road over Whicn tne
vehicle operates. When determining
tire sizes for original equipment. these
three items are usually given careIui
consideration by the lruch
tnrers and the correct tire size is care
fully estimated. The original tire
equipment as fitted to vehicles is thus
usually of ample size to meet the aver
age users requirements AMI VIII give
satisfactory service as long as the We
bicIe is operated and loaded to its nor
NAL rated capacity. If either the vehl-
Gle speed or its load exceeds this nor
NAL rate. som change must be made
in tire equipment; either a change IN
tire type or an increase in tire size to
take care of the extra demands made
on the tires.
II is lust as important that the speed
at which the vehicle is operated be
carefully checked as it is to see tina
the loads do not exceed the maximum
limits as recommended for the size OF
tire used.
General road conditions should come
in for a fair amount of consideration
for if they are generally Door the i'm
nact forces generated by the load sud
denly dropping into road depressions
and operating over road INSTRUCTIONS
will TEND to lead to early tire failure
unless the vehicle is amply tired tc
withstand such increased impact loads
More solid tire trucks fail due to
overlooking or overspeeding than from
any other cause. When the tire mile
age is not up to expectations there is
reason for assuming that the vehicle If
being operated in a service IN excess
of the maximum capacity OF the tires
being used.
