FARMER AND EIGHT
SONS DRIVE DODGE,
HOLDING RECORD

Piling up a speedometer reading
of 143,729 miles of driving, most
)of it over rough country roads and
about a 200-acre farm, is the score

living on Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
Mr.. Jordan, the owner of a large
farm near Portland, has the dis
Itinction of driving the first car ship
ped by Dodge Brothers into Maine,
land his speedometer total is still
mounting with his driving and that
of his eight husky sons. His mile
IaGe is one of many high mileage

tigation by Dodge Brothers, De-
Itroit.
For seven years Jordan's car has
been the car-of-all work on his
farm, and besides being constantly
in the service Of the nine men on
the farm and over country roads
leading to town, it often carries a
load of 1,G00 pounds of country
produce on its trips. Sometimes as
high as ton of cabbage is carried
| to market in a single load.
Mr.. Jordan often remarks that
his Dodge Brothers car seems to
grow continually better.

NOW PRE- WAR PRICES
FOR WILLARD BATTERIES

Most manufacturers in this day
and age realize that buyers of
their products are vitality inter-
ested in the prices asked, but
there are few who want any ar
ticle at any price which is below
that for which a dependable
product can be made.
in the present tendency to
look for reduced prices care must
be exercised" says Francis N.
McCloskey, of the McCloskey Auto
Co, who represents the Willard
storage battery, ito make sure
that former quality has been
maintained. Such is the case,
however, with the Willard bat
terry, for which new price sched-
ule was recently announced.
Mr.. McCloskey, has always been
Mr.. McClaskey, "has always been
built to q standard and not to
a price and the latest change is
due solely to the lower cost of
materials of which the battery is
made. The after-the-war adjust

lowest stage and prices for Will
lard batteries in some instances
are below the pre-war level"

FIRST MO 7 OR
RACES RUN IN
CHICAGO IN 1885

Americas first horseless car
rlage race was run in Chicago on
November 2S. 1895. The develop
ment OF the motor car that has
gone on apace since then could be
illustrated no better than by Il
brief comparison of the results
achieved in that historic contest
and in the races of recent years.
The first automobile race in the
United States was inspired by a
purse offered by II. II. Kohlsaat,
publisher of the Chicago Times
Herald A narrative of the hair
raising incidents Of the classic has
heen preserved in a series of arti-
cles appearing in the Motorcycle,
a monthly magazine published in
Chicago.
The first motor car race in AM
erica was held in the wake of one
of those great snowstorms which
nearly obliterated tho Windy City.
The contestants frequently found
their cars stuck hopelessly in snow
drifts Before they could continue
they had TO jump out and give
their fashioned machine a
shove, and after they got them 60
ing they had to keep sanding the
belts and replacing the chains that
were used for the propulsion of
the buggies with light motors. All
day long they plowed through tho
slush in order to cover a distance
of 54 miles on a circuit that car
ried them along the lake shore to
Evanston and back to the heart of
the city. They completed the trip
after dark, and the winner S
elapsed time was 10 hours and %
minutes. His average speed was
five and one-quarter miles an
hour.
Compare with this speed the av-
erage of 95 to 90 miles made last
year at Dayton, Fla, for 100 miles,
And where the best time made
by the old motor cars in the first
race was little more than seven
and one-half miles an hour, APP
proXimately 1853 miles an hour was
made by Tommy Milton on the
Daytona track in April, 1920.
But the races at Daytona were
hardly more spectacular than the
first automobile contest in Chiea-
go. For the motor cars were paced
by horse-drawn sleighs with the
official observers and trailed by a
nondescript crowd including school
girls who appeared in their bloom
crs. players who left a football
game, and all kinds of unofficial
observers. There were collisions
between motor cars in the race
and tire sleighs of the observers
as well rs collisions with trolley
cars and other conveyances. The
casualties were numerous but they
were very slight and not a fatality
was recorded.

DRY CHARGED BATTERIES
PREVENT PRE-SERVICE
of DETERIORATION

Since the USL "Dry-Charged"
method of shipping storage bat
teries was introduced by the y.
S. Light and Heat corporation,
manufacturers of the we'll known
exclusive Machine Pasted Plate
batteries, thousands of motorists
who have learned of the advan-
tages this method offers have
shown their preference for USL.
For the benefit of motorist
readers of The Journal we publish
the following information secured
from Frank II. Sheck, local USL
service station.
In buying a "Dry-Charged" bat
terry the purchaser enjoys the
same advantage as though he re-
ceived his battery at the door of
the factory. because the battery
is completed at the factory and
given the usual final inspection
and rigid test for capacity. then
the solution is drawn off and
the battery thoroughly washed out
to remove all traces of electro
lyte. The battery is then sealed
Theoretically and shipped, ready
for service.
In this condition the battery
may be stored away or placed in
stock for an indefinite period
without fear of deterioration.
When the battery is to be plac-
ed in service, electrolyte is added,
and a slight freshening charge
makes it ready for duty-just as
fresh as though it had just come
from the factory,

why we would not think of
putting the same kinds of steel
into motor car now that we
used to. Seems as IL every piece
of steel for each different part of
car is of different alloy and is
subjected to its own So ecial form
of heat-treatment. That is almost
literally true. No one kind of
steel is good for all kind of stress
es, and in a motor cart-the strains
and shocks run the fun gamut. so
our metallurgists tell me.
Recently was showing one of
our largest distributors through
the REQ plants. He was hollering
for more cars and / was trying to
prove to him that we were doing
our best to keep him and other

WHO HAS THAT
OLDEST AUTOMOBILE,
Is QUESTION ASKED

1T don't know whether we have
absolutely the oldest automobile, !"
said Guy Lauderbaugh, of the
Lauderbaugh Motor company,
local Hudson-Essex distributors,
"but we have a number of cars
which have set remarkable rec
ords of endurance and smooth
operation,
Some families have liked these
cars so well that they have never
replaced them.
1--WE have in Pleasanton, Neb,,
a car belonging to Louis Peters,
which he bought in 1910 and
which has run more than 100000
miles. Last summer he took a
trip in the Colorado and New
Mexico mountains with it, and
had no trouble whatever.
"A 1918 roadster, which had
piled up 264.000 miles. was driven
across the continent by Ben Har-
per, Of San Francisco, in the re-
markable running time of 8
days, hours.
"a. J. Loeffler, of McKeesport,
Pa, has had family car since
1914, which exactly suits his
needs and which still gives en-
tirely satisfactory service.
"The very oldest car in the
country doubtless will be an in
teresting curiosity. But it prob
ably will be found to have been
out of service many years, while
these Hudsons have been reiter-
ating the proof of their goodness
day after day.
"Such service has given rise to
the Hudson slogan, They never

THE MOTOR DOLLARS
SPEED BUSINESS

"There may be a slight varia-
ton in prices here and there, of
course, at any time, but the fun
damental fact is that automobiles
today are selling more nearly at
cost or below cost than they ever
have in their history" says John
N. WHY'S, president of the WHY'S
Overland company.
'The slightest variation up
ward in the prices Of commodi-
ties used in the fabrication of
automobiles would of necessity in
most cases cause a rise in price
of automobiles.
"a comparison OF the value Of
farm products with other basic
products indicates that automo-
bile prices have been liquidated
thoroughly.
This is particularly fortunate
for the country, as automobiles
today represent fundamental, hu-
man transportation and once the
public has come to realize that
they are now buying personal
transportation at the lowest poss-
ible cost, they will put back into
the market a tremendous de-
mand."

From Now On
Its Going to Cost You Money to
DiUorce Your Car

W you recall back i'll 1915, when you noticed in the
~ papers that the car you driving had gone up
in price?
Rather pleasant sensation, wasn't it? You knew that
the raise would help the price of your old bus when you
got ready to sell it-and it did help.
That was the start of the record flight of used car prices
They went up, and up steadily trailing new car prices
Then I'VE got into the war-producton of new cars was
cut down and used car prices went up some more.
People bought cars used them year or so, sold
them and actually sometimes made little profit on the
deal
Them in the fall of 1920 new car prices began to godown
Used prices began to drop but another factor the
''tra ding allowance helped to hold them up
A ttading allowance is a camouflaged price drop It
that in order get long price for your used
car you pay long price for new car
It is solution portion of the automobile industry
offers for the problem of lifting yourself over fence
by your boot-straps.
But the reductions in price announced at the New York
show have virtually put end to the trading allowance
Consequently, used car prices are back to EARTH
you don't believe it, take your car around for ap-
praisa to of the people who made very attractive
bids for it month or two ago.
Furthermore there's every prospect that used prices
are going to stay down.
That that Old Man Depreciation is with again.
1t means it's good time to buy good car and drive it
long time.

During the past five six years you could buy new
car, drive it year and turn it in on new one and not

no property settlement.
But from it's going to cost you money divorce

We'd rather meet that kind of buyers market with
the PACKARD SINGLE SIX than with any other car

that's real JOY to drve that delivers twenty
miles to gallon of gasoline and fifteen thousand miles

ing to be traded in at the end of year
Packard Single Skies have been in owners hands in
New Mexico for than year, and they not be-
ing traded in.
We haven't doubt that many owners are going to
drive their Single Skies four and five years. and longer
Those people going their depreciation costs in

Certainly you get bigger than the Single Six
for less money but they won't have Packard perform

Well back the Packard Single Six against any

We're ready to go to the bat with REAL demonstra-

| Many special trains made the trip
about a month ago, Mr.. and Mrs
Mitchell leaving St. Paul via the
Canadian Pacific route, filled with
club members, the. train being made
up at Chicago and containing many
members from farther south.
The main feature of the trip was
the convention of the club members
held at .Banf but many other places
of interest were visited and the
wonderful scenery Of the Canadian
Rockies viewed. At one of these
Lake Louisa, is situated one of the
finest and best equipped summer
resorts in the world. 1t is situated
on a beautiful blue lake., across
which is a magnificent ,geyser, Wis

train passes through tunnel cut out
Of solid rock, 5 miles long, in one
place there being a mile of solid
rock over the tunnel. Double tracks
are laid in here, and every half-mile
guards are. stationed where there is
telephone service in case anything
goes wrong within. After the train
has passed, by means of large fans
all gases and smoke are removed
within 20 minutes. #" -,

English city, rs years behind the
times, but where the many wealthy
citizens reside in residences more like
castles with their beautifully laid

many other places of interest We're
included in the trip. Mr.. Mitchell
reports a wonderfully interesting
time. Mrs. Mitchell remained at

New York, Oct. 4-Bright,cloudlesS
skies with brilliant sunshine was the
weather for the first game Of the 49,
% worlds series.
Fair today and probably tomorrow
is the official forecast. It WAS mod
erately cool this morning with the
temperature expected to creep UP
to 80 by mid-afternoon.
Moderate north and northeast
,breezes made the day perfect one
for the Yankees, Giants and some
10000 fans.
Almost to a man, the old-time
ball players and minor league mana
gers figure that McGraw will be able
to out-smart the American Leagucrs
and jockey his rather fragile pitching
staff through to victory. The Giants
supporters predict that Joe Bush
with his fast ball and curve will be
just to the liking of McGraw's heavy
hitters and that Bob Sharkey does
not stand any more chance than he
did last year. They also pointed out
that Pitt and Ruth were stopped
cold last year and they figure the
Giants pitchers will let them do no
better this year.

FOREST FIRES NORTH OF
DULUTHSTML BURNING
High Velocity Wind Would
Cause Serious Damage,
Supervisor States
(By United Press)

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. "A high
velocity wind today probably will
wipe out a number of settlements
and so1called towns" H. G. Weber
forestry supervisor hree, told the
United Press early today. There was
a slight south wind early this morn
ing the velocity always increases dur
ing the day, usually reaching the
maximum in the afternoon.
ct is impossible to estimate the
number of fresh fires burning
now" he said, MANY of them have
joined, and new fires are starting
hourly, it seems"
The fires early today spread over
nearly all of the south half of St..
Louis county. Another serious fire
was reported east toward the Mile
Lac district and reports reached here
of fires which threatened several
places west of the Iron range and
along the Canadian border.
"Fires were threatening in the vi
cinity Of Ellesmere, Casley, Central
Lake, Markham, Vimm, White Face,
Cotton and Corbin, all within "a
mile square south of Virginia and
Biwabik. Serious fires were burn
ing in an area around Fairbanks.
T"The situation northwest around
Meadowlands is very Serious" Web
Der reported. "From Floodwood to
Meadowlands, the southwest corner
Of the county is alive with fires. A
high velocity wind would undoubted-
ly cause serious damage. Thus far
only unoccupied cabins, small saw
mill and a deserted cabin have been
destroyed. The fighters have sue
ceded in running the flames around
all othe settlements. The saw-mill
destroyed yesterday was at the south
end of Central Lake. Only by inhu-
man effort was Central Lake saved.
The fire has passed around there
now and the town is in less danger.
An unoccupied cabin was destroyed
near Ellesmere. Two unoccupied set
tlehs' cabins have been burned in
the Kelsey district.
"There were two serious fires in
the knife River district, northeast of
Duluth"
