On the democratic side, there is no

Messrs. Norris and Lewis are still fac

prospect of other entries. The poll.
ticians have been making frantic eff
forts to persuade certain men of
prominence, who have the money to
finance the contest, to enter the field,
but all seem to be shy, and while
there is no doubt but what several Of
those who have been discussed would
gladly be candidates, if they could be
nominated without a contest, mono
seem willing to enter the lists with
two such energetic and capable fight

whose only disqualification seems to
be their limited means, for it is be-

day that the only real objection the
practical Statesmen have to use "a

has not the ability to put up large

STEPHENS MOTOR WON
IN ECONOMY RUNS

The same motor that brought the
Stephens Salient Six to victory In five of
seven official economy runs entered in
the past four years is under the hood of
the 1872 models now on display at the
auto show.
In the seven contests the Stephens has
travelled c,16s miles on less than 104 gall
Ions Of gasoline, making a record of
20.91 miles to the gallon.
Numbered among Stephens victories
are: 1918. Yosemite economy run: 1919,
yosemite economy run; 1870. Sacramento
Lake Tahoe run; 1890. Rim of the World
run; 1921, Sacramento-Lake. Tahoe run.
These runs were over roads in which
hills are numerous and grades steep.
Two mountain ranges were crossed by
the Sacramento-Lake Tahoe course.
They are gruelling tests OF reliability
and economy. The Stephens took sec-
ond place In the two OF the seven events

each cam shaft bearing as well as the
front gears themselves. The reasons
for the quiet motor are apparent when
the construction is viewed. Every NOV
ing part runs in a bath OF oil. Oil is
directly pumped through the drilled
rocker arm shaft. feeding supporting
bearings and the rocker arms them
selves. Cups on the push rods and on
the tappets are kept full Of oil at all
times, providing a cushion against noise
and practically eliminating wear. Con-
struction of cylinder blocks. crank case
and valve mechanism is such that the
complete motor forms q positive dust

Automobile engineers agree that the
overhead valve motor develops more
over than a side valve motor of equaf
size; that its acceleration is better, and
its economy more pronounced.
The reasons for the valve in head are
found In the instant response TO the
spark, the more thorough burning Of the
mixture. the complete elimination Of
burned gases and the intake OF a full
fresh charge at every cycle.
The heavy chanlSshaft Of the Velie

1921 GOOD YEAR FOR

Striking testimony to the basic sound
ness OF tire automobile Industry 10 pre-

the Morse Chain Company, which has
an interesting exhibit of its silent cam

Although the industry in general was
chiefly engaged In regaining lost ground
during 1921. the Morse Chain Company
reports one OF It's biggest years. De-
mand for its automobile chain fell only
slightly during the slump. and officers
of the company are confident that their
business Ia now entirely past that de-

corresponding period last year. Every

ccntagts Of gain.
Tba sewing, cooking anu house
Scteipg and poultry projects have the
largest enrolment. in the order
named. More than half of the increase
in enrolment thus far is III these
three projects. Mr. Shibles credits
this inc showing of early cnrollments
TO three causee Better functioning OF
Farm Bureau organization; increase
in number Of standard clubs; increase
in number OF field agents.
The counties whose enrolment ex-
cec1ed 100 April 1 were: Cumber-

lowed in this order: Washington
Somerset Hancock, Waldo, Knox and
Lincoln, Piscataquis. Franklin, Pen

The total enrolment in the Maine
clubs last year was 1897. 1t is hoped
that the activity evidenced by the
early enrolment is an indication that
last years record of membership VII
be surpassed.
