across the river south of Rupert
where he discovered it unable to take
fight. He was preparing to give the
hungry king of the air a good feed

It is supposed the injured wing
was received while in combat with
another eagle, this being the mating
season of the birds when it is said
they stage many fierce combats often
resulting in the disabling of one of
the combatants.

NEW BODY FOR
FORD CARS

As delivery unit to meet require
ments for equipment lighter than
that of the ton truck, the Ford Mo-
tor Company has just added pick
up body to its commercial car line.
The new body is designed for use
on the Ford runabout, taking the
place of the rear deck. and is well
adapted to all kinds of light hauling
and quick delivery. The runabout
seat affords comfortable riding for
the driver and there is ample room
for another passenger. Full protec-
ton against inclement weather is
provided by the top and side cur
tains.
The new body is of all steel con-
struction and sturdily built. 1t is
3 feet, AZ inches wide and 4 feet,
8 inches long. Sides are thirteen
inches deep to the flare, so that load
ing space is sufficient to meet all de-
mands of light delivery. The end
gate is the same as that on the ex-
press type body of the ton truck and
when partially lowered is securely
held in place by chains.
