Good In Cooperation.

Flavel Shurtleff, Boston architect,
emphasized the value of complete CO.
operation with state agencies con-
cerned with public works. Through
this it has been possible TO develop
interlinking parkway systems in con-
junction with the state commission
charged with the parkway work Of
tho metropolitan district. The effect
has been to rim and interline the town
with wide thoroughfares radinting
out into surroundings Of natural
scenery, some Of which IS already held
in reservation by the commonwealth.
The water supply Of Winchester
occupies somewhat unique position.
Natural basins were secured and de-
veloped at cost of about 100000.
and 100000 have been realized in
revenues since its creation. Mr.. Shurt-
left said. There is no hahitation near
the reservoirs and no vehicles are per-
mitted entrance to the byways that
border them. Work Of reforesting the
edges of the basins to preserve the
snowfall IS under way.-Christian

HAVE NO PLACE ON ROADS
Gaudy Advertising Sign Boards Along
The Highways Ars Well Called q
Menace to the Traveller.

j. The order Of the state highway COM
mission, requiring the removal Of all
advertising sign b0Erds from state
highways by July l, 1922, will meet
with general approval. AS a rule,
these signs are placed with conspicu-
Gus disregard for the safety Of mo-
florists. Most Of them defeat their
own purpose. SO placed as to COM
pei tho attention Of a motorist, they
draw his interest, not to the merits
of tho commodity advertised, but to
the folly Of obstructing the view at
q crossing.
While there is some doubt as to the
scope Of the order, it will have ben
eficlal effect upon, the campaign to
eliminate signboards which disfgure
the landscape. There is and can be
no objection to neat route, detour and
warning signs designed to promote
the usefulness Of roads, but the
gaudy boards which hide the view Of
the country, and even Of the roads.
from travellers, have long since sunk
to the status of nuisances. In or
deriDg them eliminated, the highway
commission is merely responding to
the weight of public opinion. Many
farmers have torn the signs down on

NEW CHEVROLET PRICES
ATTRACTING ATTENTION
Motor Inn Garage Is Being
Remodeled to Display
Chevrolet Models

Workmen have been engaged to
commence work on the improvements
that arc to be made in tho Letford
building which houses the Motor Inn,
the cold snap has set the work back
slightly but it is hoped that the out
side work can be commenced this
week so that it will be completed
by the time people begin to move
around in their cars.
When the improvements arc fin
ished the Motor Inn will have one of
the best automobile show rooms in
northern Minnesota which will give
them the space necessary to display
both the Chevrolet cars and the Buick
ears for which Fred NJ. Goughnour is
the local agent and distributor.
Besides being a modern garage in
all respects the new plate glass front,
running the full width of the build
ing, will add to the appearance of
that side of Beltrami avcnuci 1T Is
planned to have the entrance to the
garage and repair department facing
The alley towards Third street, which
will leave the entire front, with the
exception of small entrance, for
display purposes.
Mr.. Goughnour just returned from
the auto show held in the twin cities
and reports that the Chevrolet car
attracted more attention than usual
on account of the new prices and tho
fine appearance of the new models.
In the past six years more than half
a million Chevrolet "Four-Ninety'
models have been produced. During
that time they have been contin-
ually improved.

is in the vanguard of research work
for the development of new and bet
ter methods of building motor cars.
It has the facilities and the resources
and the organization for putting such
methods into practice for the benefit
of it's customers.
Eight great Chevrolet factories in
the United States and Canada are
equipped to produce quality cars in
quantities that insure savings and
service to customers.
They employ expert engineers and
skilled workmen, purchase the best
materials in quantity at lowest prices,
and use highly efficient machinery.
Divided by hundreds of thousands OF
cars the cost is reduced and quality is
increased to the benefit of the owner.

BUICK VALUES MEETING
NEEDS OF MOTORISTS
Goughnour Gives Factors to
Influence Buyers of
Automobiles

There are five factors that should
influence the buyer in the selection
of his motor car, says Fred Cough
nour Of the Motor Inn garage, local
distributor of Buick motor cars.
Five Factors.
First, what are the manufacturer
by the manufacturers standing in the
industry? ..
Second, what are the production
plans and system of manufacture?
These are important, for they bear
on value received for money expend-
ed.
Third, is the chassis mechanically
correct in preserving the proper re-
lation between power and load, COM
fort and safety, performance and
durability.
Fourth, does the manufacturer fur.
nish a body type exactly suited to the
buyers motoring requirements?
Fifth, what is the extent of the
manufacturers desire once the car is
bought, to guarantee the owner un.
interrupted transportation? .4
How to Acquire Efficiency.
One would hardly be justified, Mr..
Goughnour continued, in purchasing
a motor car solely on the strength
of one or even several of these fac
tors. Only when the five are prop
erly co-ordinated is true motor car
efficiency found.
Thorough consistency in all these
factors is seen reflected in the Buick
for 1922. Manufactured in the ef-
ficiently organized Buick factory, &C.
cording to policies and principles that
have been distinctly Buick for many
years, the new Buick reached the
highest pinnacle in its Development.
Critical and experienced motorists
who have in their own way considered
these factors, have found that the pur-
chase of a Buick is an investment in
a perfectly developed, well-engineer-
ed motor car, precisely manufactured
and backed by authorized service.
Bucks Suit Needs.
And each of the II models for
1922 has a particular range of use
fitness, permitting any purchaser to
select a Buick car exactly suited and
equipped to serve him to the utmost
limit of his demand for utility.
The complete line for the season
consists of seven six cylinder models
and four four-cylinder models, built
to one standard of mechanical ex-
cellence. The Buick principle of mo
tor design and chassis construction is
embodied in three open and four
closed body types on the six-cylinder
chassis and in, two open and two
closed body types on the four-cylin.

for their captains only where they
find quality. He says Of the aspiring
youth:
let him use the great city as a
market in which to buy or sell; TO
see and profit; let him use it as a place

Let him bring back with him the best

all.

AS Patty looked back over her
friendship with Paul, it seemed to
her that most of her meetings with
him had been clandestine drives in
his motor through a world made safe
and private by the winter twilight.
After overhearing Mrs. Darlington,
Patty made up her mind that this
friendship had to cease. 1t might be

would be quite as painful-but she de-

cided upon a thing, wanted to carry
out the decision as soon as possible.
Besides, if one has decided to cut
out ones heart metaphorically. the
prospect of doing it is so painful that
it is a mercy to have it over as soon
as possible. In a way, it is like sit

whole business is. So Patty waited
impatiently for the time when she
should see Paul next, having made
up her mind that that time would be
the last. She did not see him every
night now. Paul had certain social
obligations. And he had a mother Ir
