OVERLAND SALES SHOW FARMERS
 BUYING AGAIN

Farmers are coming back into the market rapidly, according to sales figures of the willys- Overland com. pany for the month of April.
 The Willys- Overland company maintains one of the most complete records of the owhership of it's cars of any company in existence. Its rec ords for April show that purchas of overland cars by farmers are almost double the purchases by any other vocation. Salesmen laberers and merchants rank next in order. each group taking approximately the same number of cars. Clerks follow In fifth place with approximately one-fourth as many cars as those purchased by farmers in April.
 The division maintained by the WilEs Overland company divides the purchases into more than 125 different groups and forms an in teresting and Illuminating barometer of business conditions in various vacations.
 During the past few months. when the farmer had withdrawn his pur- chases largely from the market, his purchases of automobiles have gone down in the scale in proportion 10 other purchases. The fact that the farmer is coming back into the mar ket at this season of the year with strong purchasing power is looked on by the officials of the WiIlys- Overland company as a most grati- lying reflection of business pros poets.

Bonkhead Highway
 Progresses Rapidly

The Bankhead National Highway association. which was organized six years ago for the purpose of promot- ing and building a great trans-eonti- mental highway from Washington to San Diego, Cal. has been most sue cessful, and this highway is now more than half completed, and with much rapidity it Is being built in the fS states through which 1t trayerses.
 Some time ago an association was organized to promote q highway to be known as the Lee highway. This highway has attempted to duplicate the Bankhead highway from Mem phis. through Arkansas, to Hot Springs. thence through Oklahoma. Panhandle Texas. New Mexico. to Fl Paso on the Lordsburg. through Arizona to San Diego. Cal The people in those state are opposed to any duplication in names, signs, or maps which are proposed by the of ficers of the Lee highway.
 Al the annual meeting of /le Bank head National Highway fsoeiation. resolutions were fanimousiy adopted, opposing most Enormously the efforts of the Lee Highway. or any other highway. attempting to usurp or duplicate the great Bank head highway. which Is recognized by the government, and by the peo- pie, generally throughout the nation. The resolutions were as follows:
 Whereas, the Bankhead National Highway association Is the friend and well-wisher of effort to build and maintain an adequate and modarn system of state and interstate high ways We recognize and applaud the activities of all associations based upon the same worthy and honorable principles of our own.
 However. the Lee Highway asso- ciation recently organized for the purpose of establishing an interstate highway from Washington, D. C.. to New Orleans, La. for some unknown reason has decided to defect It's orig inal route and location. and now ac- cording to public report and the ef- forts of at least some of It's offi- , cers, Is seeking to usurp the name and appropriate the location of many hundreds of miles of the Bankhead highway. on Its main line. and estab- fish lateral branches between Mem phis. Tenn, and San Diego, Cal.
 Therefore Be It Resolved. that this association deprecates and condemns said conduct as being entirely un- worthy of any organization named for that great chieftain Robert F. Lee, and we denounce those who are responsible for said activities as be- Ing guilty of conduct that is unfair. ungenerous. and prejudicial to the best interests of permanent and en- during highway construction, and pledge ourselves to use every legal and honorable means to circumyent the disintegration of the Bankhead National highway"

Air nnd Chs Mixture

The average mixture considered best for combustion in the cylinders of an automobile engine is from 14 to 17 parts of air and one part of gasoline. Less air is used and more gasoline for slow speed and power work. while more air and less gas are drawn into the cylinder for eco nomical high speed driving or light load pulling.

Rum Runners
Car Is Burned
FIRE IN CAR RESULTS IN
DESTRUCTION OF 40 GALS.
OF ALCOHOL. sss

A Minneapolis rum runner, driving
a big six cylinder, seven passenger
Case car, came to grief on the Black
and Yellow trail, near Lamberton,
late Wednesday afternoon of last
week, from the Mill City to Tracy
with an illicit cargo of some 40 gallons
of alcohol, when his auto caught
fire and was badly damaged The &C
cident occurred at about 6 O'Clock.
Came Through New Ulm.
The man came through New Ulm
around o'clock the same afternoon
and stopped at a local garage to have
some tire trouble remedied. He was
accompanied by woman and two
male companions, the latter making
the trip in two other autos, presum
ably also loaded with booze. While
here, the rum runner is said to have
remarked that if he could manage to
get out of New Ulm without being
caught, he would be safe, as he anti
cipated no trouble along the balance
of his route.
Lost Exhaust and Muffer.
On the way from Minneapolis to
New Ulm, the Mill City liquor traffick
er lost the exhaust and the muffier
from his motor, but he did not stop
here long enough to have the missing
articles replaced 1t is believed that
the fire, which badly Quilted his car,
resulted from the absence of the ex
he ast and muffer, and was due to
speeding.
Tires, Accessories Stolen.
The Case was so badly damaged
that the rum runner abandoned it on
the roadside and sought the services
of a Lamberton garage. When the
garage man went to the scene of the
accident next morning, he found that
someone had stolen the five tires from
the machine, as we'll as the self
starter, the generator, the distributor
and even a piston and connecting
rod. The thieves had broken open
the crank case to obtain some of their
loot.

Good Business
WILL ADD MUCH EQUIPMENT
TO TAKE CARE OF
INCREASE.

Planning to meet increased bust
ness on the system by the addition of
1000 rebuilt freight cars, 20 new To-
comotives and 10 new passenger
coaches to it's rolling stock, the Min.
neapolis & St. Louis railway has ap
piled to the Interstate commission for
permission to issue S1,5O0,000 in
equipment trust notes to be used in
purchasing the new equipment.
No contracts have been let pending
granting Of authority to issue the
bonds. W. H. Bremner, president,
said, but there is possibility that
Minneapolis car building shops may
build at least portion Of the freight
cars to be added.
New Cars in Operation.
Plans are to put the cars into opera
ton as rapidly as possible, if the com
mission grants the requested author
ity, President Bremner said. The
railroad for some time has been
working on plans for the addition OF
equipment, and officials are confident
the notes can be issued soon.
The Minneapolis & St. Louis weeks
ago reported substantial increase IN
business over 1921, and officials SAID
business now is near the peak of 1920.
Business has improved steadily since
the first of the year, Mr.. Bremner
said and satisfactory conditions are
reported generally from all parts OF
the system.
The road has not faced a serious
shortage of cars for grain movement,
it is said. There have been no blocked
stations reported. Additional equip,
ment, however, is expected to give the
line ability to handle much business
which it previously has been unable
to accept.
The notes listed in the application
are per cent equipment trust notes,
accruing semi-annually over a period
of 10 years. They are to be secured
by a lien upon the rolling stock pur-
chased with the proceeds OF their
sale.
According to the application, the
notes are to be sold at 9512 per cent
of par, through Freedman q co. OF
. New York and Stroud & Co.. OF Phlla-
delphia.
